Ripple House
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.
HOTEL LiVEMAX BUDGET Nagoya
Staying at LiVEMAX Budget Nagoya was a pleasant surprise! The room is 11 square meters—double the size of most budget hotels I’ve stayed in, which makes a big difference in comfort. It’s located right next to the train tracks, so there’s some noise, but it actually adds a lively urban vibe rather than feeling isolating. What really stood out was the mini kitchen and in-room washing machine—perfect for cooking your own meals or doing laundry without leaving the hotel. The only downside? No luggage storage, so you’ll need to carry everything with you. Also, weekend rates are significantly higher, but weekdays offer great value. Overall, this is a smart, practical choice if you're looking for space, convenience, and affordability in Nagoya.
Tabist Hirofune Koyo IC
Even though I missed the check-in deadline by just a few minutes due to bus schedule issues, the staff was incredibly accommodating and warmly welcomed me upon arrival—thank you so much! My room was surprisingly spacious, making me feel like I was in a local community center. The bath is shared on a first-come, first-served basis, so if someone’s already using it, you’ll need to wait your turn. The tub water was quite hot (temperature may vary), so be cautious when getting in. On the ground floor, there are two water dispensers with pitchers and an ice maker—both freely accessible, which is super convenient. The room key has a large lanyard, so keep an eye out while moving around to avoid bumping into walls or furniture. Breakfast requires arriving at the dining area before 8:30 AM (though this wasn’t entirely clear—I overslept and missed it, but I saw a notice posted at the cafeteria confirming this). Definitely recommend setting an alarm early. Overall, the stay was exceptional—comfortable, clean, and great value. Would definitely come back.
BUSINESS HOTEL NAKAYAMA
Staying at this business hotel in Nagoya was an absolute delight. The room layout is thoughtfully designed—half for sleeping, half for storing luggage—making it incredibly convenient and well-organized.

With such a great location, excellent service, and high value for money, I’ll definitely be returning next year. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Nagoya!

The hotel itself has a unique vintage charm that sets it apart from typical business hotels—every corner feels thoughtfully designed with character. We appreciated the cozy, authentic atmosphere and the quiet elegance of the space. Located just minutes from the subway, getting around Nagoya was super convenient. The overall experience was outstanding, and we’re already planning to return. Highly recommend this hidden gem for travelers looking for something different and memorable.
Hotel Water Gate Nagoya - Love Hotel for Couple -
I was a little nervous when I arrived—thought I might have booked the wrong place. But once inside, I realized this is a unique love hotel designed for couples with a strong focus on privacy and intimacy. The door locks and unlocks only via front desk call, and no inter-room access is allowed, which felt a bit strict at first but actually made the stay feel more secure and personal. The room itself was spacious, with excellent separation between wet and dry areas—very practical and clean. What stood out most was how close it is to the Legoland station; just a short walk or quick subway ride away. Perfect for exploring nearby attractions without hassle. Despite the unconventional setup, the experience was surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable. Great value for a romantic getaway, especially if you're looking for a quiet, private space to unwind together.
Nagoya Kasadera Hotel
The hotel is incredibly convenient with easy access via public transit, and the location is peaceful yet close to everything. I have mobility challenges and need special footwear, but I was still able to comfortably walk around in slippers within the property—something that shows thoughtful design for guests with different needs. The attention to detail made my stay much more relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort and quality.
Nagoya Kanayama Hotel
The Nagoya Kanayama Hotel is spotlessly clean and feels fresh throughout. I was pleasantly surprised to see a toilet seat manufactured by our parent factory back in 2015—it still works perfectly, which speaks volumes about the hotel’s excellent maintenance and attention to detail. While the location isn’t ideal for commuting to my current workplace (requiring transfers), it’s an excellent choice for travelers. The area is lively and bustling, with plenty of dining and entertainment options nearby. Great value, great vibe—definitely planning to stay here again on my next trip to Nagoya.
Meitetsu Inn Nagoya Kanayama
I couldn’t be happier with my stay at Meitetsu Inn Nagoya Kanayama! The breakfast was surprisingly generous—plenty of options and well-prepared, though the air conditioning was a bit strong (easy to adjust though). Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short 5-minute walk from Kanayama Station, making it super easy to get around Nagoya. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. What made this trip even better was the amazing price—I actually found this Meitetsu Inn cheaper than nearby hotels like Toyoko Inn and Livemax, which is rare! It’s the first time I’ve booked here, and honestly, the value for money is outstanding. If you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and great pricing in Nagoya, this place is a top pick.
HOTEL LiVEMAX Nagoya Kanayama
Staying at LiVEMAX Nagoya Kanayama was a fantastic experience. The hotel is just a 5 to 10-minute walk from Kanayama Station, making it super convenient for getting around the city by train. There's a Lawson convenience store right nearby—perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials late at night. If you're driving, the on-site parking is a real bonus: only 1,000 yen during daytime and just 500 yen at night, which is much more affordable compared to other areas in Nagoya. Compared to other hotels near Nagoya Station or Sakae, this one offers significantly better value for money without compromising on comfort or location. It’s definitely one of the best budget-friendly options in the city—highly recommend for travelers looking for a smart, practical stay.
Nagoya Hostel the Three Smiles
The hostel was surprisingly clean and well-maintained, which made the stay quite pleasant. I appreciated the tidy rooms and overall hygiene. That said, considering the basic amenities and the type of accommodation, I felt the price could have been a bit more competitive. Still, it’s a solid option for budget travelers looking for a simple, no-frills stay in Nagoya. The location is convenient—just a short walk from the subway station, making it easy to explore the city center. If they adjust pricing slightly, it would be even more appealing. Overall, a decent choice for a comfortable and affordable base during a visit to Nagoya.
Vacation Rent Kanayama
This was my first time staying in a vacation rental, and I have to say it was a great experience overall. The place was clean and well-maintained, which made me feel comfortable right away. There were a few check-in steps I had to handle myself—like submitting passport details online—and on the day of arrival, I received a code to unlock the mailbox and collect the key. It felt a bit tricky at first, but everything worked smoothly once I got the hang of it. A little nervous about checkout procedures, I reached out to the platform’s customer support, and they were incredibly helpful—quick replies and easy to understand. Turns out, the host also sends a reminder email the night before checkout, instructing guests to simply return the key to the mailbox. Super convenient! The neighborhood is quiet and residential, perfect for a peaceful stay. If you're driving, parking on nearby streets works fine, though it's good to arrive early to secure a spot. All in all, this was a hassle-free and enjoyable stay. Great value, excellent communication, and a lovely quiet location—definitely recommend for travelers looking for a relaxed, authentic experience.
