Staying at this hotel after experiencing Tokyo’s high accommodation prices was such a pleasant surprise—way better than expected! If I’d known how great it was, I would’ve taken the Shinkansen in the evening and stayed an extra night just to save money. The location is actually very convenient: about a 10-minute walk from Nagoya Station, which might seem like a bit of a trek at first, but once you’re familiar with the route, it feels effortless. Right next to the station is the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Store, where you’ll find several well-known local restaurants on the 9th floor—great for dinner, though be prepared to wait in line. The hotel itself has a stylish design that feels like a solid 4-star experience. Staff are warm and welcoming, greeting guests upon arrival and departure, and they even offer a little welcome gift. Free coffee and drinks are available throughout the day, there's a microwave for guest use, and the included bathhouse is a real plus—though we arrived too late and tired to make use of it (definitely next time!). There’s also an air purifier in the room, which adds to the comfort. Overall, the value here is outstanding. A top pick if you're visiting Nagoya!

Staying at Samurai House 3 was an absolute delight from start to finish. Located just a short walk from Nagoya Station, the property offers unbeatable convenience—public transit access is seamless, and everything you need, from local eateries to convenience stores, is right outside your door. The room was compact but impeccably clean and well-maintained, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. What truly stood out was the staff—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. Despite being a budget-friendly option, the experience felt far more premium than expected. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of value, comfort, and hospitality. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nagoya—especially travelers who appreciate authenticity and a homey vibe. Would definitely book again.

Our stay at Samurai House 2 was absolutely delightful. The accommodation is cozy, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. It’s perfectly located near the MRT, making it super easy to explore nearby shopping areas and enjoy authentic local cuisine. We walked to several restaurants and boutiques without needing any transport—perfect for a relaxed city break. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt safe and welcoming. Even though the space is compact, it feels spacious thanks to smart layout and warm lighting.

Staying at Ripple House was an absolute delight. The property offers a fun and relaxing atmosphere with a mini table tennis set and darts—perfect for unwinding without leaving the space. With three rooms, it’s ideal for a family of three, offering comfort and privacy. Everything was immaculately clean—no corner was overlooked, and the attention to detail in hygiene is impressive. The location is wonderfully quiet, making it easy to fall asleep quickly and enjoy a restful night. What stood out most was the seamless check-in process: I received the contact info and access code ahead of time, so I could enter independently. It felt like staying in a private home—convenient, secure, and stress-free. A truly great experience that combines comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful service. Definitely my top choice for future visits to Nagoya.

This was my second time staying at Hostel Wasabi Nagoya Ekimae, and I’m happy to say the experience lived up to my expectations again. I’d already been impressed during my first visit—this place truly exceeded what I thought a budget hostel could offer. The female-only dormitory section is clean and well-maintained, which gave me peace of mind, especially regarding bathroom hygiene. While the friendly Chinese-speaking staff member wasn’t on duty this time, I managed smoothly with basic Japanese—no issues at all. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 10-minute walk from multiple train lines (JR, Meitetsu, and city buses), making exploring Nagoya super convenient. The area itself is a gem—surrounded by shops like Suruga-ya Joshi-kan, Animete, and B-Books, perfect for anyone who loves wandering and discovering hidden gems. After dropping off my bags, I was out the door straightaway, ready to eat and explore. One highlight? The free self-service drinks on the ground floor—hot tea, miso soup, coffee—all available anytime. Grabbing snacks from the nearby Lawson and sipping tea by the entrance in the morning or evening felt so relaxing. My bunk space was comfortable enough; having stayed in university dorms before, I’m used to shared spaces, and the curtains provided good privacy. That said, as with most hostels, there’s limited soundproofing. I usually wake up around 8–9 AM, but I’ve been stirred awake by faint noises—zipping bags, rustling clothes—around 6–7 AM. It’s not unbearable, especially since I’m used to group living, but those sensitive to noise might want to think twice. Overall, this solo trip meant a lot to me, and the stay contributed positively to the whole journey. The vibe, location, cleanliness, and little touches like the free tea made it feel special. If you’re looking for an affordable, social, and centrally located base in Nagoya, this place earns every bit of its high rating.

Staying at Nagoya Prince Hotel Sky Tower was an absolute pleasure. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the modern design and excellent service. The best part? The hotel is directly connected to the subway station—just one stop gets you to Nagoya Station, making travel around the city incredibly convenient. All facilities are well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a great bed and a well-appointed bathroom. The breakfast spread offered a nice mix of Japanese and Western options, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Nagoya.

The room was recently renovated and everything feels fresh and modern. While the space isn't huge, its location makes up for it—everything is within walking distance. Just a short stroll to Meitetsu Station and easily accessible to Takashimaya, making it perfect for travelers who love convenience.

Breakfast included local favorites like Nagoya-style sweet red bean toast and kishimen noodles, which added a nice authentic touch. Clean, well-placed, and highly recommended—I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Nagoya.

The front desk staff spoke English fluently, which made everything so much easier. I was able to drop off my luggage in advance—great for a stress-free arrival. Each floor had sleepwear available in the hallway, a thoughtful touch that added to the comfort. The room came with all the essentials: microwave, refrigerator, water purifier, vending machine, and even a washing machine—perfect for longer stays or business trips. While the room is compact, it’s designed for rest, not living, so if you’re just here to sleep, it works perfectly fine. Everything you need is there, and the overall value is excellent. Clean, convenient, and well-organized—this is a solid choice for anyone visiting Nagoya.

Staying right above Nagoya Station was an absolute game-changer. The hotel is seamlessly connected to JR, Meitetsu, Kintetsu lines, plus local subway and bus stops—getting anywhere in the city or even to the airport or Legoland was effortless. Yes, the room rate is on the higher side, but the convenience made it worth every penny. We were on the 22nd floor facing west, so we could hear trains occasionally passing below—but honestly, it didn’t disturb sleep at all. The surrounding area is packed with options: Takashimaya department store, pharmacies, cafes, restaurants—you can grab everything within steps. The room itself isn’t huge, but the view from the upper floor is unbeatable, especially at night when the city lights sparkle across the skyline.

Staying at 9h Nine Hours Nagoya Station was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk from Nagoya Station’s exit 1, and right next to some of the best local eateries I’ve tried in Japan. The room itself was clean, quiet, and well-designed with a spacious shower area that made my morning routine so much more enjoyable. The only downside? 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. But honestly, that tiny hassle doesn’t take away from how great the whole experience was. The comfort, cleanliness, and convenient location make this place stand out. If you're visiting Nagoya, I’d definitely come back here again. A real gem for travelers who value both convenience and quality.

I came back to the hotel after check-out and was warmly welcomed by the staff, who immediately reminded me that my luggage had already been brought up to the room. Even more thoughtful, they found and returned a bracelet I’d accidentally left behind—such a kind gesture! This time, my room had a different view, but the layout and furnishings remained exactly as I remembered from my previous stay—comfortable and elegant. I still enjoy my daily visit to the on-site bathhouse, which is the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Nagoya. The sunset at 4:30 PM was absolutely stunning—captured it for you all!

Staying at Grand Base Nagoya Ekinishi was an absolute delight! The room was surprisingly spacious—my suitcase could easily be laid flat, which made unpacking a breeze.

What really stood out was the smart layout: separate kitchen, bathroom, and toilet areas—all private and well-designed. This setup made it incredibly convenient for families or groups traveling together, avoiding any hassle or awkwardness. Plus, its location just steps from the train station makes exploring Nagoya effortless. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully planned, and the value for money is outstanding. I’ll definitely be back!
