Everything was great about the Via Inn Prime but the pillows. The location couldn’t be better, the rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, but some unknown reason the have literal bricks for pillows. I wish I was exaggerating when I say they are THE hardest pillow I have ever felt. I even asked for a new pillow from the front desk and somehow got one that was even harder. Perhaps bring you own pil...

Fantastic location — just steps away from Kyoto Station, which made getting around the city incredibly convenient. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety, and the room was very clean and well-maintained. The only downside is that the room was a bit small, but given the prime location, it's totally understandable as space in this area tends to be limited. Overall, a great stay and would d...

Great service! The staff are super nice and respectful. We had fresh towels delivered daily. Room clean up was available daily, but if you don’t want cleanup, you can alert the cleaners by putting the no clean up etc sign on your door. Laundry was also on the floor, not sure if every floor has one but I had the laundry service few doors down from my room. Breakfast is also an option when you book ...

Location couldn’t be better as a base for exploring Kyoto, with the train station right across the street (lots of good food options!). Room was typical Japanese size and very clean. The pajama options were especially comfy and convenient. Buffet breakfast had lots of options although the tables filled up quickly, so best to go a little early. It was easy to check our bags for storage on the day w...

Yes, just a door, as this hotel literally has a 7 eleven connected to it so you have easy access to all the egg and strawberry sandwiches you’re craving. Moreover, if you’re planning to do one of the many avai...
