Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Via Inn Shinjuku is often praised for its excellent location, particularly its proximity to Shinjuku Sanchome station and other transport options, making it easy to explore Tokyo. Guests frequently find the rooms to be clean, modern, and well-equipped, with some even noting they are more spacious than typical Japanese hotel rooms. The breakfast buffet is a highlight for many, offering a great selection of both Western and Japanese dishes; however, a few guests have mentioned that the frosted bathroom window may not offer sufficient privacy for all travelers. All in all, the hotel is considered a very good value.

Wonderful Shinjuku Hotel

excellent locationattentive stafffrosted window

I returned because the location is excellent and near everything. The staff are attentive and helpful. They provided necessary toiletries. I was comfortable in my single room.

The frosted window separating the bathroom from the hotel room was unexpected. It made sharing the room with my travel partner awkward. I wished for more privacy in that space.
