Hotel Dengan Wifi di Aichi Prefecture, Japan

I was here for the Jishukan High School Jishusai festival and forgot my slippers, so I just wore the hotel's. My room had a direct view of Toyohashi Station platforms, but the soundproofing was excellent; I didn't hear any noise at all. The breakfast was quite extensive and very delicious. Not only did it have all the usual offerings, but also local specialties like Toyohashi curry udon and chikuwa (fish cakes), and there were even two different kinds of chikuwa! They were really tasty, and it meant I didn't have to go out and buy the now-pricier chikuwa. My only slight disappointment was that the curry udon was cold. Also, the entrance on the first floor that connects to the station was under renovation, and it wasn't as obvious, similar to the steps where Lao Ba eats takoyaki.

The hotel's design is very stylish and the location is excellent, just a short walk from the subway station with a very prominent sign. The environment is great, and crucially, the rooms are also very spacious. The check-in lobby itself is large and clean, and the night view from there is absolutely stunning. It's also very kid-friendly. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Nagoya; we're very satisfied.

The Hotel was a lot better than I expected. I’ve been reading a mixed reviews of the hotel, bad and good, but when we got there, we were met by the amazing and kind staffs that accommodates our needs. Though most of staffs does not speak English, they still try their best to communicate in english and they even have a small translating device to use for themselves which just proves how hospitable they are. Room is small but it is cleaned every day and is enough for 2 persons. Towels and bathroom amenities are replaced every day and Beds are made every day. The only thing that I noticed is that they don’t replace the Coffee cups inside so we have to clean in the sink everytime we need to use it. But overall service was great. Pajamas are also available downstairs and other amenities such as toothbrush, comb, razor. Airconditioning is centralized and you cannot manually adjust the temperature, you can only switch either Low, Mid, High. Heater from the bathroom is a bit hard to adjust, a few twist in the faucet it will become very hot. You can also rent a few things in the hotel. You have to leave the key everytime you go out. The Hotel might be old but it provides everything that you need and it’s still a decent accommodation to stay in. We really had a pleasant stay for an 8 days stay.

There were some issues with communication at the front desk. Initially, when checking in, I was given a room on the top floor and thought it was a pleasant surprise due to a previous request I'd made to the hotel. However, after trying two different key cards and failing to open the door, I returned to the front desk. It turned out their internal card information didn't match the room number they'd given me, and I had to wait through several rounds of discussion and resolution. I've stayed in many places, but this is the first time I've encountered such a situation, and there was no further communication or explanation afterward. Breakfast arrangements were also quite odd. Despite the long queue of guests in the morning, staff only communicated with the first group in line, and no one came out to explain how long the wait would be or how many people were ahead. When we finally got seated, we noticed there were actually empty tables inside, but for some reason, we were made to wait for a long time without any explanation. This was quite an unexpected experience during a trip with friends; we really couldn't understand these operational choices.

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.

I had breakfast, but compared to other hotels, there were many items and I was very satisfied with the contents of the dishes. On the other hand, there were many overseas because the amount was cheap, and there were many troubles in the manners at the breakfast venue, probably because of the difference in culture. At the time of check-in, there was a guide to the time to spend a relaxing time, but it was a pity that there was a schedule after that and it was the same time zone.

Our family of 5 booked the room with an open air bath this January 2025. We definitely enjoyed our stay. The bath was warm and nice despite the windy and cold weather. The room/s were beautiful, the view of Ise Bay (especially at sunset) was spectacular, and the food was great, especially the dinner. The staff were really accommodating and nice, they even helped us book a taxi to the airport after we checked out. For those traveling to Shuku Kaifuu by public transportation, I recommend giving them a call before checking in so they could arrange a pick up service from Utsumi (train) station.

The mattress was very comfortable; I slept soundly during our two-night stay with my family of three. It’s a nice hotel, quiet despite being in a bustling area. Getting here from Centrair airport is super convenient – just one direct bus stop, no need to transfer to the subway. Just a heads-up, make sure to check the bus schedule carefully. We missed our bus by literally a minute and even ran to the wrong exit. We watched it pull away right on time, not a second late. I was so out of breath from running but still couldn't make it – quite an unforgettable experience!

Everything is perfect except that my toilet has no door and directly in front of the door 😹 But since I traveled alone, I had no problem. But then, I found coffee stains below my table and it was sticky all over the information book 🥲 I love their 11:00 am check out policy though and their phone charger service so I will definitely come back!! Thank you 🫶🏻

The ocean-view hot springs are truly a unique experience. Lying in the cypress-clad hot spring, I could feel the breath of the ocean, the cries of seagulls mingling with the sound of the tide, filling my ears with a three-dimensional soundscape. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the guest rooms made it possible to drift off to sleep. Late at night, when moonlight bathed the ocean, the view from the room was a breathtaking spectacle, the moonlight pouring down like water, the endless sea, the shimmering sponge reflecting the twinkling light of the lighthouse. The cuisine was all directly sourced from the hotel, the shrimp sashimi was as sweet and glutinous as agar-agar, and the grilled abalone was delicious. The staff were warm and attentive, their faces brimming with smiles, always ready to respond to any requests. I finally understood why the 'one-time encounter' service aesthetic is so ingrained in our DNA. I believe if you experience this once, you'll fall in love with the entire Ryugu Hotel and the sea at Ebisu Beach.
