Hotels in Nagoya

"I like the location — it’s only 5 minutes to Sakae Station and 10 minutes to the airport limousine bus terminal (Oasis 21). There are lots of restaurants, 24/7 convenience stores, supermarkets, and even tax-free shops where you can find almost everything you need. From NGO Airport, you can take the limousine bus and get off at the Nagoya Tokyu Hotel stop — it’s just a 1-minute walk to the hotel. However, when going back to the airport, you need to take the bus from Oasis 21. If you have a lot of luggage, I recommend walking on the street instead of using the subway route. The staff are generally good, but some are not very nice."

"The room had three single beds, which were quite comfortable. However, it was clear the triple room was originally a twin room with an added bed, not designed as a triple from the start, as it was so cramped there was no space to open our luggage. The view was excellent, which is definitely the highlight of this hotel. Being able to overlook the Nagoya night view and lying in bed watching the city lights was a real mood booster. There's a 'SPA room' at the hotel, but it's really just a public bath, and a very small one at that. There weren't even towels available, which made drying off inconvenient. There are no actual spa services; it's just a bathhouse. The restaurant is on the 18th floor (the lobby level) and also offers great views. Breakfast is a set meal (one dish per person) supplemented by a buffet of side dishes. The pastries were good. This Mitsui hotel is located in the Symphony Toyota Building. On the ground floor, just off the elevators, there's a door that leads directly to the underground mall. This underground passage connects all the shopping areas around Nagoya Station and also goes straight to Kintetsu and Meitetsu Nagoya Stations. It's much more convenient to use the underground path if you're heading to the station (be sure to ask the front desk for a paper map, as the wall maps don't have English, and it's easy to get lost underground if you can't read Katakana and go the wrong way)."

"This was our second stay at JR Gate Tower Hotel Nagoya, and it's fantastic. The hotel is located right above Nagoya Station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. They even have a kids' play area on the 7th floor! The lobby is super modern, and the front desk staff are really welcoming and enthusiastic. Our room was clean and tidy, with a great separation between the shower and toilet/sink area, and the toiletries were from POLA. It's such a great hotel, we'll definitely be staying here again in the future."

"First of all, a big thank you to those who've stayed here before and shared their insights! This hotel's location is perfect for a short trip (two or three days). You can take a direct bus from the airport to Sakae Station (check your flight arrival time, add immigration time, plus a one-hour time difference; if the bus schedule lines up nicely – they run every two hours – then the bus is a good option). From Sakae, it's less than a ten-minute walk (just around the corner). Going to the Sakae shopping district (just across the street from the hotel, a ten-minute walk) for food (Ichiran Ramen, Hitsumabushi unagi) is very convenient. For getting around by subway (Sakae Station is a five-minute walk, roughly halfway between the airport bus drop-off and the hotel), reaching Nagoya Castle or Nagoya Station (the transportation hub for buses to Takayama) is only two stops away (note: these are on two different subway lines and in two different directions, but easily identifiable in the Sakae underground mall). I recommend buying a subway day pass (valid for 24 hours from your first entry) and grouping your subway trips together; it's very economical. The hotel overall and the rooms aren't large (typical for this type of hotel in Japan) and it's a bit older, but the service and in-room amenities are still perfectly adequate. The breakfast doesn't vary much day-to-day, but there's enough variety, and the quality is pretty good. Coffee is available in the lobby at all times, and donuts are offered in the afternoon. I hope this helps others!"

"Nice location just 7-8 minutes walk from Nagoya station. Spacious single room with good amenities inside the room. Good quality buffet breakfast & hotel provides onsen spa facility. Highly recommended."

"The hotel is located near Nagoya Sakae Station, about a 3-minute walk after exiting the station. It offers incredible value for money. Firstly, its downtown location provides excellent transportation links. Secondly, the hotel's facade and decor are so impressive that I had to double-check several times upon arrival to confirm it was indeed the hotel I booked. The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were sufficient. While breakfast isn't included, there's a great restaurant in the hotel lobby, and Sakae Station and its surroundings boast numerous restaurants and shops, making it very convenient."

"The hotel's location is great and it's still affordable, even though the price has doubled since last year. It's still a good deal, and I'd stay here again on my next trip to Nagoya. It's super convenient for getting anywhere!"

"This hotel is located between Sakae and Nagoya Station. For those who travel light and move fast, you can easily walk to both. If you're traveling with kids who can't walk as far, a taxi ride is very short. The room is fully equipped, not only with a hairdryer but also a flat iron. They even provide children's toiletries. The front desk staff explained all the check-in procedures very clearly, and they offer Chinese language service (it feels like the front desk staff speaks every language!). I also saw a staff member immediately help a guest who was carrying two coffees by pressing the elevator button and scanning their card, asking for their floor (very observant and proactive). It's a great hotel! The semi-buffet breakfast is also excellent."

"Although the room size isn't huge, it's quite acceptable for a major city like Nagoya. Every day, after returning to the hotel, I could relax in the large public bath on the rooftop, which really helped to relieve the day's fatigue. Since I didn't use the room's bathroom, I put my suitcase in there, which effectively increased the usable space in the bedroom. Plus, the hotel provides DHC cosmetics for free, which is definitely a highlight. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to Sakae commercial district, Oasis 21, and Nagoya TV Tower. Nagoya Castle is only about a 15-minute walk away. For dinner, if you turn right out of the hotel and walk for about 5 minutes, you'll find an underground shopping street beneath the Nagoya TV Tower with all sorts of restaurants and a food supermarket. There's also a convenient store right outside the hotel. While the breakfast selection isn't incredibly diverse, I particularly enjoyed the unagi don (eel rice bowl) and ramen. The staff were very enthusiastic. Choosing this hotel for my stay was definitely a smart decision."

"Overall, it was a great stay, and I would choose this place again if I come to Nagoya in the future. The facilities are well-equipped, and the check-in and check-out experience was convenient, comfortable, modern, and efficient. Everything is handled by machines, and the room key can be added to Apple/Google Wallet. The laundry room was also very functional. The design is simple, premium, and beautiful. From the interior design to the graphic visuals, everything was aesthetically pleasing – I really loved it. In terms of space, although the area is small, it has everything you need and is very efficient for storage. From the shelves to the pegboard next to the bed and the luggage rack under the bed, there's virtually no wasted space. The clever design makes the mere 12 square meters not feel too cramped, and there are many thoughtful details. The location is excellent, with two subway stations and several bus stops nearby, making it convenient to get anywhere. It's one stop away from both Nagoya Station and Sakae Station, which I personally prefer because the neighborhood isn't as noisy, and transfers aren't much more troublesome. As for the price, the value for money is super high! The only minor drawbacks: The soundproofing is quite poor. When the window is open, conversations from outside can be heard loudly due to the small building distance. In the quiet of the late night, you can occasionally hear sounds from next door. In the morning, service staff start cleaning quite early, so there's some continuous noise from the corridor."
