Hotel berhampiran Stesen Niwase, Okayama

Via Inn Okayama was our 6th hotel on this journey, and its location honestly couldn’t have been better. Being directly connected to Okayama Station made everything very convenient — from getting around to grabbing daily necessities. There were even some supermarkets inside the station, which were super handy. The lobby was on the 5th floor and already set the mood, with an amazing view overlooking the station and the city. Our room was simple and comfortable, featuring a small double bed, a desk by the window, a chair, an air purifier, and a fairly new TV with YouTube and Netflix access — perfect for relaxing after a long day. Space was a little tight when we opened our luggage, but it wasn’t a big issue. Even though the bathroom wasn’t very spacious, it still provided enough room to sit comfortably on the toilet, which we appreciated. The real highlight was the view — an unblocked cityscape right from the room that made both mornings and nights extra special. Convenient, comfortable, and memorable — Via Inn Okayama was a great stay right in the heart of the city.

The Hotel is in a very convenient location, only about a 7-minute walk from Okayama JR Station. The highlight was definitely the public bath (Onsen)—so relaxing after a day of walking! It’s a wonderful choice for families traveling with kids.

Family comes with 4 beds (instead of 2 as indicated in trip.com description). Room is pretty spacious, bed is a bit hard and bathroom is a bit narrow, but overall still comfortable. Location is good, walking distance to JR stations, Aeon with good varieties of food at the food court. Near to big camera, animate, donki and lots of shopping options at Aeon too. Will definitely stay here again.

The staff I came came across were all very polite and had welcoming smiles, no matter at the reception desk or the restaurant on 20/F. I enjoyed my stay here, but it felt comparable to the 3 star hotels, just slightly better especially thanks to the fabulous breakfast and location of breakfast…If hotels have half stars, i would think it’s’more of a 3.5 star hotel instead of a 4. I have a few suggestions which the hotel can look into to improve in the future. 3 Things to improve on: 1) I picked this hotel because I read other reviews saying the hotel is connected to a bridge from the Okayama station. This is true but unfortunately there were no signs in the station to guide travellers unlike another hotel like Granvia. Google suggested that I look for the west exit which I did, but I ended up being at the ground level hence had to bring big suitcase all the stairs…then I spotted the bridge and ANA crowne plaza from the street 2) cleanliness can be improved. There’s a UCC drip coffee machine in the room. I don’t drink coffee, and the box for the drip coffee selection was refilled. However I spotted a used capsule on the floor near the wall. The bin was not blocking the view, so the cleaners could’ve easily spotted the rubbish if they had been a little more careful and looked under the table when they have to clear out the rubbish bin anyway. 3) I sent a message to the hotel via TRIP.com. The message wasn’t replied promptly, as in within a few hours. Ultimately it didn’t matter anymore, I arrived at the hotel before somebody managed to reply me. Maybe it’s the system that’s problematic which may have caused a lag? Or staff only look at mails/messages when not too busy at the front desk?

Great value, spacious and sunny rooms We had a wonderful stay at Hotel No.1 Okayama. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The hotel is very clean throughout, and our room was surprisingly spacious for the price. Large windows meant plenty of natural sunlight, making the room feel bright and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Okayama.

A little far away from the station but you have a tram stop really close. Comfortable beds, small bathroom, rooms bigger than average japanese rooms and a Lawson in the front building.

此家看起來有點舊，但整潔乾淨，水龍頭都是老式旋轉式，也許是叫綠色酒店原因，衞生間沒有電源插座，吹頭髮衹有在寫字枱，房間佈局蠻不錯，有一個小空間正好放箱子，這樣顯得房間不狹小，離商業區也很近，衹有4-5分鐘走路。沒有早餐，但到店有送早餐便當券。

Had good dinner , dinner last order at 830pm with 2 sets of choices , breakfast start at 630am buffet style, coffee machine out of order, female onsen need to get key from reception counter and use another lift to go up , washing machine is 300 yen and dryer 100yen , able to communicate with simple English. Near to Aeon mall. Okayama JR take East exit

Small room with less facility. I open a door and it is a bed with no space to put your belonging if your bag is large. I love to walk to Aeon mall from this place 10 min and enjoy duscount food there.
