Via Inn Shinjuku

The room was a bit small, but very clean. The subway station is right downstairs, and it's only about a 700-meter walk to Shinsaibashi. The size was really an issue though, I couldn't even open my suitcase properly. There's an Aeon supermarket downstairs, which is great for grabbing food.

The room was very comfortable for one person, with a desk and chair perfect for studying or working. The breakfast was also good.

This hotel aligns with my expectations for a typical Japanese city hotel. The room was small, barely leaving enough space to open a large suitcase, but it was clean and quiet. The breakfast was a bit better than what I've had at Toyoko Inn previously. For the price, it's a great option. (P.S. The pictures are not related to this review)

The hotel is located around a corner off a main road, about a 15-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. Be careful when walking to the entrance as there's no sidewalk. They have self-check-in machines with a Chinese language option, so you can check in and out there. Toiletries are available for self-collection near the elevators. The room is quite small but fully functional. Soundproofing isn't great, though; you can hear doors closing in adjacent rooms.
