5-Star Hotels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

The bed was incredibly small, and they wouldn't even provide an extra duvet, only a blanket without a cover. At the front desk, remember to ask for your skincare amenities yourself when you check in; otherwise, they'll pretend not to have any – it's just fake politeness. I guess the hot spring is the only reason to choose this place. In comparison, I much prefer JR Gate Tower; they directly give you Takashimaya coupons, and the bathroom is also much more spacious.

I really like TIAD's decor, which is why I chose it over a very well-located Marriott. It's right above a subway exit. To get to Nagoya JR Station, you need to transfer twice, so a taxi is more convenient, costing between 1900-2200 JPY. The hotel's amenities are outstanding, including a Bioprogramming hairdryer (though only 4D). They provide London EH toiletries, and the bedding is incredibly comfortable. There's even underfloor heating in front of the sink. Overall, the experience was great, but the turndown service could be a bit more attentive.

Excellent service, room was comfortable with superb view of the city but a wee bit noisy at night till the train service stopped, club lounge was a plus but it closed too early (9pm), breakfast was ok particularly loved the French toast and very very delicious gelato although strangely enough fried eggs weren’t available daily and fruit choices were meagre (orange, honeydew and pineapple). A pleasant stay overall.

I stayed for three nights and was very satisfied. The room was spacious, not cramped at all, and I even got upgraded to a higher floor. It's very close to the Sakae shopping district, with all the malls just about a 15-minute walk away. In the other direction is Shin-Sakae, where you can find quite a few Chinese restaurants. There's a Sugi pharmacy right outside the hotel, which is super convenient for buying cosmetics, daily necessities, and food – I shopped there every day. For breakfast, you can choose between the ground floor buffet or the second-floor Japanese set meal. I'd definitely recommend the buffet on the ground floor; it has a wide variety, including名古屋特色的烤鸡翅 (Nagoya-style fried chicken wings), though it can get a bit crowded. The service was also excellent, absolutely flawless. I'll definitely stay here again if I come back to Nagoya. The only thing to note is that the road leading to Sakae is a gentle uphill slope, which might be a little tiring if you're pushing a stroller.

The room size was satisfactory, and the breakfast was great! It's super convenient for getting around. Even with the rain, I didn't even have to leave the JR Shinkansen station; I could go directly to the hotel entrance. There are also plenty of dining options nearby, and Takashimaya is right next door for easy shopping. Plus, there are lots of drugstores inside the station.

This hotel is really a gem, the size of the room is very big compared to other hotels & their service is tops 👍 rooms are super clean & they have fantastic amenities ! It’s not that far from Nagoya train station, about 10 mins walk. Airport Limousine doesn’t stop at Nikko but you can stop at Kanko Hotel & it’s only 5 mins walk from there.

Excellent location, the original TV tower is now a design hotel. Located in a popular leisure, dining and shopping area in the city center, the underground is a huge subway system and a supporting underground dining and shopping plaza. The hotel staff is very enthusiastic, and the rooms are hand-painted murals by artists, which are very modern and artistic. The meals provided are particularly worthy of praise, a combination of Japanese and Western styles, and the dishes are beautifully presented with attention to detail. The rice for breakfast is a small pot of freshly made stone pot stewed rice, with 4 kinds of rice and soy sauce, which will be introduced in detail for guests to choose. At night, you can climb to the top of the TV tower to overlook the Nagoya landscape. Very good stay experience. The only shortcoming is that the bathroom light is too dim and ladies cannot put on makeup.

The room is spacious and well equipped. It's a bit far from Nagoya station and not many buses around the hotel. It's a bit inconvenient. There's shuttle bus available in the morning on weekdays. Longer service time on weekends. Maybe the hotel is busy, the lounge staff wasn't too friendly. I have short hair but I found a long hair on my bed under the blanket. The bedsheet has some black colour fabric fibers but I wore light colour pajamas.

The service at the reception on the 18th floor and in the rooms was excellent, and the swimming pool and gym staff were also great. However, the service at the Wu Ren (懷石料理) and Italian Cava Nova restaurants was really lacking. For Wu Ren, which is supposed to be a top-tier kaiseki restaurant, the sommelier and the servers bringing dishes had poor English and seemed unwilling to communicate. It felt like they just wanted to drop off the food and leave, expecting guests to read the menu themselves. While this might be acceptable in other casual restaurants, is it the standard for a kaiseki establishment? The hotel should clarify if this is indeed their service protocol. The Italian restaurant was even worse – they offered virtually no service. They were initially friendly, but as soon as they heard English, they immediately said there were no tables available, shooed us away with a gesture, and turned their heads and walked off. The hotel also needs to confirm if this is their standard service procedure for this restaurant.

Hilton Nagoya 📍 **Location:** Conveniently situated in the heart of Nagoya, the hotel is just a 5-minute walk from Nagoya Station. This prime location offers easy access to the Shinkansen (bullet train), subway, and Meitetsu lines, making it incredibly convenient for exploring shopping areas like Sakae and Osu Kannon, or visiting Nagoya Castle. With convenience stores and drugstores nearby, it's perfect for both business and leisure travelers. True to Japanese hotel standards, the cleanliness is impeccable. Both the guest rooms and public areas are well-maintained, showing no signs of age or wear and tear. Higher floor rooms offer stunning panoramic views of the Nagoya Station area's nightscape. The front desk staff are professional and communicate fluently in English, and room service is prompt and efficient. On a separate note, we encountered a minor issue during our stay. However, two managers were incredibly helpful and quickly resolved the problem to our complete satisfaction. Many thanks to them for their excellent assistance! 🙏
