VIA INN Higashi Ginza — Hotel in Tokyo

Very convenient location, there were several train stations within walking distance so I had no issues moving about Tokyo while staying here. There's also a 24h convenience store downstairs for small necessities like snacks, packed lunches and toiletries. The free breakfast was perfectly passable with various Japanese-style breakfast foods like omelettes, rice and miso soup as well as pastries, yoghurt, coffee and orange juice among other things. The room is rather small, especially the bathroom, but everything was clean and well maintained, and the cleaning crew tidy up every day if so desired. The bed was large but the mattress and pillow were a bit hard. The A/C worked fine and was a must during early summer. The room offered free toiletries like soap, toothbrush and razors and there was shampoo, conditioner and body wash offered in pump bottles. The small fridge and electric kettle were a plus, and it was nice to have a desk. The staff was pleasant and spoke decent English. They also had laundry machines in the hotel. Also had no issues with th WiFi, it worked fine and was decently fast.

Overall, I would definitely stay here again for the price I paid. I'd give 4.5 stars if that was possible. I'd give full five stars if it wasn't for the hard bed and the fact that the view from the window was not very stellar.

Modern, clean, just a few mins from Higashi Ginza subway stop and/or about 10 mins walk from Ginza subway stop. We took bus for 1,000 yen from Narita Airport, we were at Ginza bus (terminal station) in less than one hour. Two days later, flying home to Toronto from Haneda airport, we walked to the nearby Higashi Ginza and with one transfer, we were at Haneda in about 25 mins. Ginza fashion district is just 10 mins walk up the main street, Tsukiji fish market literally across the street, to the left. Japanese style breakfast was included, and it was a big strange to my European palette, but it was enough and filling. Room small, "semi-double bed" compared to beds in other hotels really small (we are 6'1" or 186 cms, and 5'8" or 171 cms) so it was a tight squeeze, but quality of sleep didn't suffer. Tub in bathroom instead of just a shower - really nice! The only negative I think is their strict adherence to the 3pm check-in and 10 am check-out rule. They would not allow any sooner/or later. C'mon, if you have ready and available rooms for tired travelers, why not allow them in, a bit extra flexibility .... and do guests ever appreciate such...
