VIA INN SHINAGAWA OIMACHI JR-West Group

I booked a single room (Room A) but was given a double room. I would have preferred to get the room I actually booked. The Hankyu supermarket nearby is very convenient though.

The room was very quiet, and the hotel has a great location, very close to the metro station. Breakfast was simple and didn't offer much variety, but everything else was pretty good. Self check-in and check-out were available.

Upon entering the room, I noticed a short hair on the bathroom door frame, which clearly belonged to the previous guest as my hair is long. While watching TV in bed, I also found some short hairs scattered on the sheets after turning back the duvet. The cleanliness definitely needs improvement. However, other aspects of my stay were excellent, and I would generally recommend this hotel. It's only a few minutes' walk from Oimachi subway station, there's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and several dining options nearby. The subway area also has large shopping malls like Ito-Yokado, where you can get tax refunds directly without much queuing since it's more of a residential area. This is convenient for last-minute shopping before heading to the airport. Plus, with the Keihin-Tohoku Line, it's a short ride to Shinagawa to catch the airport express. I was traveling to Yokohama, Izu, Hakone, and Suwa during my stay, and access to Shinjuku was also decent. I'd recommend it if the price is right; if it's over 500-600 JPY, similar hotels might offer better value for money.

Very close to Haneda Airport, the facilities and environment are great, and the staff are all patient with excellent service. The room size is perfect for one or two people, though opening a large suitcase can be a bit challenging.

Even though the hotel seems a bit older, the rooms are surprisingly new. The location is excellent, right near Oimachi Station. It's only about a 15-minute direct train ride on the Saikyo Line to Shinjuku, just one stop to Shinagawa, and very convenient for getting to Odaiba.
