Via Inn Prime Nihonbashi Ningyocho

The building is located in a fairly busy business district just about an eleven minute walk from the train station. It’s a super convenient location because there are three convenience stores about a one-three minute walk and a domino’s pizza right next to the entrance of the building. It’s also very easy to get picked up by a vehicle on the side of the building. I enjoyed the spacious facilities - I actually had plenty of space to stow my luggage and walk around. There were also free amenities in both the lobby and the rooms. My stay was comfortable.

The elevators gave me a headache. There are only two but even when avoiding check ins and check out times, the elevators take a while to arrive and sometimes they stop at empty floors you don’t even click on. I almost felt bad for the staff who had to use them to transport their materials at the same time as I and others had to use them. It took a while and got pretty crowded. Furthermore, the cleaning schedule was kind of confusing for me. At check in I was informed that every third day the staff would perform a deep clean, but even after they did when I put the signs on the bed and door, I still got woken up by the phone to be told that deep cleaning had to be done. I even stated that it had been done the day prior to no avail. It wasn’t fun rushing out to give the staff space to clean last minute, but they left the room impecable. Due to the confusion on cleaning schedules I also noticed towels piling up on the door despite not asking for any new ones or having space for them in the bathroom. It became a little overwhelming, but the staff works very hard to keep the facilities clean and that is very much appreciated.

Location was great, a short walking to subway in a quiet neighbourhood. Close to Imperial Palace, Akihabara and Ueno station. Room was spacious for Tokyo standards and breakfast was good, though you got the same everyday. Convenient that a 7-11 is in front of the hotel.

Front desk staff isn't very friendly, and now that check-in and check-out is done through a machine, they should at least show some interest. Restaurant and cleaning staff were great, though.

The location is good and the staffs Asaishi and Teranishi was really good hospitality.

The bathroom sink was broken and nobody fix it till we left the hotel. We stayed there for 5 nights…

We stayed for just one night and this hotel was great, comfortable and quiet.

We didn't stay long enough to find out!
