DEL style NAGOYA-NAYABASHI by Daiwa Roynet Hotel

The room was perfectly positioned facing Nagoya Station, offering an amazing view that made every morning feel special. The breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and well-balanced with a great variety of options. Staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help without being intrusive. Cleanliness is top-notch throughout the hotel: spotless bathrooms, crisp linens, and high-quality toiletries that felt luxurious. My favorite part? The 14th-floor communal bath—it’s spacious, clean, and has a soothing, spa-like atmosphere. I loved walking to the station daily, especially when traveling light—just a quick stroll turned into a little exploration of local shops and snacks along the way. On my last day, I took a taxi to the airport, which cost around ¥1,000, but honestly, given how central the location is, it’s totally worth it. This place offers comfort, convenience, and excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Nagoya.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel NAGOYA-SHINKANSENGUCHI

The location is actually quite convenient despite the ongoing construction near Nagoya Station—just follow the right path, and getting to the hotel by subway is a breeze. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice TV that made for great evening relaxation. I was happy to see that we could pay via WeChat Pay, which was super convenient. One thing I noticed: no toothbrush was provided in the room—probably kept at the front desk or lobby, so just ask if you need one. As someone who travels often, I truly feel Japan is far safer than many places back home, let alone countries the government has promoted. My return check-in at Chūbu Centrair Airport was smooth and quick—no long queues, just straight through. I even had time to grab a delicious eel rice bowl before heading out. That said, Yatomi-dōri was packed with crowds, so we skipped the line and instead enjoyed some quiet moments exploring the area at our own pace.

The bathroom follows the standard Japanese layout but is very clean, with stable water pressure and consistent temperature, which made showering a real pleasure.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel NAGOYA-FUSHIMI

The hotel is very convenient despite the ongoing renovation at Exit 6, which requires a slight detour—still, it doesn’t affect the overall ease of access. I really appreciated the complimentary travel-sized skincare items: face wash, toner, and moisturizer, which are available at the 2nd-floor lobby. They’re high quality and feel luxurious—like staying in a premium hotel. The free mini ice pops from 4 PM to midnight were a delightful surprise; refreshing and just sweet enough. I booked a slightly larger room, and having a 28-inch top-opening suitcase made life so much easier—perfect for storing daily toiletries and clothes. Meanwhile, my other suitcase was used exclusively for souvenirs from shopping trips, neatly tucked into the small recess by the door. This smart setup saved space and kept everything organized. Overall, the room layout, thoughtful amenities, and attention to detail make this stay incredibly comfortable and efficient. Highly recommend for both business and leisure travelers.

Nagoya Kanko Hotel

The Nagoya Kanko Hotel truly exceeded my expectations! I stayed in the modern-style room, which felt incredibly spacious and well-designed—like a mini apartment ready for immediate move-in. The bed was generously sized, and the layout made great use of every inch: kitchenette with full appliances, a working washing machine, and a surprisingly large bathroom. While I loved the contemporary vibe, I actually preferred the vintage room—it has this elegant old-money charm with subtle details that really stood out. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about atmosphere and character. Both rooms were excellent, but the retro option gave me that timeless, refined feeling. For the price, this is an outstanding value. I’d definitely book again—this hotel delivers on both style and practicality.
