Amazing
AANDREAS NUR JAHJAVia 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.
AAnonymous UserBoth the location and the room size of the hotel are good. Staff were accommodating and efficient. My friend enjoyed the onsen and we had a good stay in the hotel.
Ll3unnyThe 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?
SSteven47This time, I stayed at Hotel Trend Okayama Ekimae, located in front of Okayama Station. I chose this hotel primarily for its convenient location, about a three-minute walk from JR Okayama Station. Convenience stores, drug stores, and the AEON mall are nearby, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. This is undoubtedly a major advantage for travelers prioritizing transportation.
My first impression of the room was cleanliness, but the overall space and furnishings were rather minimalist. The desk was small, making it a bit inadequate for using a laptop or organizing itineraries. The room had all the necessary amenities, but one concern was the lack of bottled water. This might be a bit inconvenient for those not accustomed to the ”self-service water bottle” model of Japanese hotels. I recommend stocking up at the convenience store downstairs before check-in.
Breakfast is an additional charge (800 yen) and consists primarily of Japanese-style small bowls of cold dishes. The taste is quite good, and the variety is varied. Although there are no hot entrees, it's still a good value for the price. However, travelers who prioritize breakfast might find the selection a bit limited. Regarding service, the front desk staff were friendly and spoke basic English without issue. Luggage storage is also available, which is very useful for travelers arriving early or wanting to explore after checking out.
Overall, Hotel Trend Okayama Ekimae is a convenient business hotel with basic amenities, making it suitable for a short stay. However, compared to other similarly priced hotels around Okayama Station, the value for money is slightly lower, primarily due to the lack of spacious rooms and detailed service. It's recommended for travelers seeking a convenient location, a tight schedule, and who don't mind a spacious stay.
SssssunnyIt's about a 2-minute walk from the west exit of Okayama Station. From the 2nd floor of the station, go straight towards the ANA Crown Hotel, take the escalator down, and just cross the street. Since it's in front of the station, it was easy to leave my luggage and walk around before and after check-in. It was clean, the staff was friendly, and the bed was a basic double bed, so I was able to sleep comfortably alone. The breakfast was simple, but I was able to start the day with a hearty meal of the must-have items. It had a railroad view, but the soundproofing was good, so I couldn't hear the train noise very well. It was romantic to be able to watch the Shinkansen pass by.
GGuest UserNice and comfortable room however my room had building construction directly outside the window. I struggled to get sleep past 9am even though I was jet-lagged, also it was so loud I was nervous the people would be coming in through my balcony door! Good location, would stay again if it weren’t for the construction on the hotel
ジジュリアンIt is a short distance from the west exit of Okayama Station, but acceptable because the airport buses stop at the west exit and there is no need to get on and off.
However, the soundproofing is really average, facing the station, there are freight trains passing through all night, mind you may have to think about another one in the east exit.
More concerned is that the air conditioner is noisy, I do not know if there is regular maintenance for repairs, the dust filter is not washed, accumulated dust. Request to change rooms successfully, air conditioning sound problems improved, is the dust screen is the same, forget.
YYouziThe room was small, but the breakfast selection and ambiance were excellent! I was quite satisfied overall. It's about 800 meters from the station. Weekend prices were a bit high; I'd recommend visiting on weekdays as I personally found it to offer good value for money.
GGuest UserThe location is close to the station and there are shopping centers and marts around.
But the hotel is old and messier than that
It feels like a cheap motel in Korea
There's a smell of mold in the bathroom, and there's a lot of mold on the shower curtain.
I understand that the room is small, but it smells as soon as I enter the hotel ...
GGuest UserVery nice hotel with a bath and sauna. A highlight after a long exhausting day! They provide a japanese style dinner, which is sadly not vegetarian and a breakfast buffet, which isn‘t bad. The room had a smoking smell and the bed and pillows are very hard, which we found pretty uncomfortable though.
