Gold Stay Nagoya OSU
Stayed here from October 28th to 30th, 2025, and had a fantastic experience. The front desk staff spoke fluent Chinese, which made communication super easy—especially helpful for international travelers. They also offered luggage storage, and even promised to bring our bags up once check-in time arrived. That meant we could just walk in directly upon returning in the evening—such a thoughtful touch! We booked the ocean-themed room, which was perfect since we were heading to the aquarium the next day—the vibe matched our trip perfectly. The room itself was well-equipped: induction cooker, fridge, oven, microwave, capsule coffee machine, and even a bathtub. Super convenient for self-catering. Location-wise, it's walking distance to the popular Osu Shopping Street, with FamilyMart and 7-Eleven nearby—great for snacks and essentials. Overall, great value, excellent service, and a very comfortable stay. Definitely my go-to choice for future visits to Nagoya!

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 Shinsuien
Staying at Hotel Shinsuien was a pleasant experience overall. The room was spotlessly clean, and the staff were genuinely warm and welcoming—always smiling and ready to help. What stood out most was the quiet surroundings; it felt peaceful and secluded, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Nagoya. While it’s a bit of a walk from Kamiyama and Nagoya Station, the convenience of the location still makes it a solid choice, especially if you're traveling by train and don’t mind a short stroll. The hotel offers great value for money, and being just far enough from the city bustle but still accessible to key attractions made it ideal. I’d definitely recommend this place to travelers who appreciate tranquility, cleanliness, and a genuine sense of comfort.

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.

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.
