Hotel Dengan Wifi di Okayama Prefecture, Japan

10mins walk from Kurashiki JR station, very convenient as you can find Lawson and the iconic Bikan Historical Quarter very close to the hotel. Parking costs 2000yen per day

Kudos to the service crew! Special thanks to Ms Kumomoto of the front desk for making extra efforts to direct us to a nearby clinic, went with us to the supermarket to get the masks and arranging the taxi to bring us there.

Location was great as it was a short tram ride away from Okayama Station. It was also short walk away to attractions like Okayama Castle and Korakuen which was fantastic. The room is comfortable enough for two but the water taps in the bathroom are separate, and will need to turn both to adjust to the temperature you wanted. But for the price, no complaints.

There aren't any major problems with the hotels but it's definitely aging and can see it everywhere you go in the hotel that this hotel is really old. The hallways have marks on them and it's cracking. The rooms are your typical tiny Japanese style hotel rooms, the beds were fine but not as clean as we hoped. The location is great and it's very walkable to Okayama JR station and it has lots of dining and shopping options nearby.

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?

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.

이번 호텔 투숙은 정말 만족스러웠습니다. 체크인부터 체크아웃까지 직원분들 모두 친절하고 세심하게 응대해 주셔서 기분 좋은 시간을 보낼 수 있었어요. 객실은 매우 깔끔하고 정돈되어 있었고, 침구도 편안해서 푹 쉴 수 있었습니다. 조용한 분위기 덕분에 휴식에 집중할 수 있었고, 위치도 좋아 이동하기 편리했습니다. 다음에 다시 방문하고 싶은 호텔입니다.

No hot spring provided Bath tub too high for my mom to climb up No shower cap Good breakfast Friendly ang helpful staff

The main draw for me was the rooftop onsen; it’s not fancy but it is classic, which is good enough for me. A simple sauna, outdoor onsen, indoor one, cold plunge bath and a shower area. The room itself was compact but efficient and check in/out process was fairly simple. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the Okayama Shinkansen station so it was quite convenient to travel to other sites like Kurashiki Bikan

Well kept older hotel with huge rooms and great bathrooms. Biggest rooms and bathrooms we've had in Japan! Very clean and comfy beds. Great staff and very close to historical district.
