VIA INN SHINAGAWA OIMACHI JR-West Group

The hotel is 3 mins walk from the metro station, it’s convenient. Room facilities is clean. The toilet is basic. Socket can be improved as it’s at the corner of the table - my plug is too large to plug in. I can use the socket on floor only. Breakfast buffet is nice and has a variety of food to choose.

An entirely average experience to say the least. Nothing really stood out about the place asides from the 7/11 attached outside the building. Roughly a 10 minute walk from the train station so nothing killed but still. It’s more or less a good stopping point to jump around eastern tokyo from, or in my case the central districts and the Disney parks. The staff has passable English and the bedding is somewhat hard. If you don’t mind just having a place to sleep and go, then stay here. Otherwise spend a little more money for your comfort.

It’s a convenient and safe location— a business district. The hotel also comes with a female-only-floor option. I’ve noticed plenty of Japanese locals on a business trip staying at the place, which is promising since it’s telling that the service is good enough for the locals. Amenities are free to take at the lobby— toothbrushes, individual packaged towels, cotton swabs. (And also complementary drip UCC coffee packets and tea bags). Nice view from the window, another bonus and the building is chic on the whole. 7-11 right downstairs and it’s only a 5-to-10-minute walk to the stations. Front-desk was kind enough to lend me a phone charger as well upon request as well. Mine broke right on the very last day and that was a lifesaver.
