We booked a connecting room at Kuretake Inn Nagoya Hisayaodori and were pleasantly surprised by how well-suited it was for our family of four. While the rooms are on the smaller side—making it tight to fully open large suitcases—they still offered a comfortable double bed and an en-suite bathroom in each, which made morning routines much smoother since we didn’t have to compete for the washroom. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just a 10-minute walk from Exit 1A of Hisayaodori Station—and it’s within easy walking distance of the Rōnen area, with Don Quijote just around the corner. Whether you're grabbing snacks, souvenirs, or just exploring the neighborhood, everything is convenient and close by. For travelers looking for a budget-friendly yet practical stay in Nagoya, this place delivers great value and real comfort.

Staying at Kuretake Inn Premium Nagoya Nayabashi was a pleasant experience overall. This is a standard Japanese-style budget hotel with well-maintained facilities and surprisingly spacious rooms—much better than the average in this category. The only minor downside is the door mechanism, which feels a bit awkward to open. It’s true that it takes about 15 minutes to walk from Nagoya Station, so if you're not up for a long stroll, hopping on the subway for just two stops gets you right into the heart of the Rengō area, where everything’s convenient. Despite the slight distance, the location is still manageable, especially given the clean, comfortable rooms and excellent value for money. For travelers looking for a quiet, authentic Japanese stay without breaking the bank, this place delivers. A solid 10/10—highly recommended.
The hotel is a bit of a walk from the station, but I was really happy to book it at a great deal during a holiday. Right when I walked into the room, I noticed the private sink — such a thoughtful touch that made the space feel more spacious and convenient. The only small downside is that breakfast ends at 6:00 AM, which was too early for me since I had an early JR express train the next morning. I didn’t get a chance to enjoy a proper breakfast, which was a bummer. That said, overall this place is fantastic — clean, well-maintained, and offers excellent value for money. The staff are friendly, the room is cozy, and it’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, comfortable stay without breaking the bank. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a hassle-free, no-frills experience in Nagoya.

I ended up staying last minute with absolutely nothing packed, and these little extras made my stay so much easier. No need to panic or run to a convenience store. The neighborhood is also super convenient—plenty of local izakayas and ramen shops nearby. Even if you’re not a foodie, you’ll find something tasty within walking distance. Overall, a great experience with excellent value for money. I’d definitely book again next time I’m in Nagoya.

We had to vacate the room every day between 11 AM and 3 PM, which was a bit inconvenient, especially after a long day of exploring.
