Overall, I left feeling disappointed and would not recommend this hotel to other travelers.
Pros:

I recently stayed at this hotel in Shinjuku and found the location to be very convenient for exploring Tokyo. The room was also clean and well maintained.

Cons:

Unfortunately, several aspects of the stay were disappointing. The hotel offers very limited facilities, and there was not even complimentary drinking water provided in the room. When I asked about drinking water, I was advised by the staff to drink tap water instead.

The breakfast was another major letdown. The selection was very limited, repetitive, and of poor quality. On the morning of 18 June, I asked a male staff member about yogurt, which is intended to be served with the cereal. He informed me that it had run out, despite breakfast service still being in operation. Later, another staff member was able to refill an entire bowl of yogurt without any issue. This gave the impression that the information provided was inaccurate and that the staff member was unwilling to assist guests.

While the hotel’s location and cleanliness are positives, the lack of basic amenities, disappointing breakfast, and poor service experience significantly affected my stay.

Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé, à proximité de nombreux restaurants

Cons:

La chambre et la salle de bain ne sont pas très grandes voire un peu exigües. Le check in se fait pile à 15h bien que les chambres soient prêtes, après un long vol c'est un peu rude.

Pros:

_Location is perfect. It is at the center of everything, walking distance to buses, trains, restaurant. Family with kids be aware that this area is in the drinnking and bars so it might be loud and a lot of people smoking and drinking. Eventhought I feel safe walking around area, dont see any homeless, fight or loud people; but if you need quite to sleep it might not easy.
_The room was clean and I have nice view outside. Room exactly as describe.

Cons:

everything was pretty good for the price, location.

Ok ma non per più di 2 notti
Pros:

La posizione è comoda. Metro a due passi e centro di Shinjuku a 10 min a piedi. Prezzo competitivo per la città di Tokyo dove i prezzi a notte sono follia rispetto a ciò che offrono.

Cons:

La cosa terribile è la stanza dei fumatori nella hall della struttura, vicino all'ingresso, ogni volta che si entra o si esce puzza di fumo, a qualsiasi ora, ed è veramente un peccato. Un consiglio :) spostatela. La camera è eccessivamente piccola. Non riuscivamo ad aprire le valigie, che occupavano anche il piccolo corridoio quindi ostruivano il passaggio seppur tenendole chiuse. La colazione, veramente povera e per la maggioranza in stile asiatico, quindi riso e condimenti salati. All'arrivo ti fanno fare il self check-in mentre ci sono alle spalle i receptionist per "aiutarti" visto che la procedura è abbastanza lunga ed un pò articolata, tanto vale che visto che sono li si occupassero direttamente loro della registrazione cliente, altrimenti non hanno senso, situazione un pò ridicola. Ideale solo per pochi giorni, con il senno di poi non mi spingerei oltre le due notti. Attese per l'ascensore lunghe.

Pros:

La ubicación es realmente buena, a menos de 10 minutos andando de la estación de tren y a 15 minutos andando de la estación de JR.
La habitación es realmente pequeña (los metros salen al reservar, así que ya sabíamos a lo que íbamos). El personal es muy amable y atento, siempre dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda. Tiene lavadora en varias plantas y además ofrecen servicio de lavandería. El desayuno no es muy variado pero es más que suficiente y está bueno, incluso el café!

Cons:

No nos gustó que la cama estaba pegada a la ventana y por ende a una cortina que coge mucho polvo, ambos somos alérgicos, así que las noches y los despertares fueron un poco desagradables, hasta que descubrimos que poniendo el aire acondicionado en modo dry y cambiando la disposición de las almohadas la cosa mejoraba. Algo es algo :)
Hay un cuarto para fumadores.

Good price but probably wont return
Pros:

Price was good

Cons:

Smoking hall is in lobby so both first floor and second floor smells like cigarettes. Laundry machine does not dry well and the bed is pressed up against the wall directly under the curtains which is gross because the curtains touch you when you sleep and we know they arent replaced.

Incredible location, fantastic amenities, and an convenient luggage forwarding service
Pros:

Via Inn was the best hotel of our 23-day Japan trip.
The best part was the ease of sending luggage to another accommodation; the hotel itself handles the entire shipping and payment process.

The soundproofing is great, we were able to use the laundry without stress, and the location is fantastic.

The amenities are very useful, especially the coffee and pajamas provided.

The room was spacious with a desk, compared to the other rooms on the trip.

We were able to use the iron several times.

The shower is wonderful.

When we chose not to have housekeeping, we received a change of towels and pajamas at our room door.

Cons:

The pillows are hard, but the bed is still very comfy

Pros:

El hotel en general fue una buena experiencia. Las habitaciones eran cómodas, estaban limpias y la ubicación es bastante buena, lo que hace que sea una opción práctica para alojarse.

Cons:

Como punto negativo, aunque el check-in estaba indicado a las 15:00, nos hicieron esperar hasta esa hora exacta para acceder, cuando probablemente las habitaciones ya estaban listas antes. Además, el proceso de check-in no es con personal, sino a través de una máquina, y el trato del staff no fue especialmente amable ni cercano.

En general, una estancia correcta, pero con margen de mejora en la atención al cliente y la flexibilidad en la llegada.
