Hotel 2-Star di Aichi Prefecture, Japan

I stayed for 3 nights at the Wasabi Hostel Nagoya. I took the Nohi Bus from Takayama, which took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach its final destination, the Meitetsu Nagoya Bus Terminal. The fare was 3600 yen. Using Google Maps, it was about a 700-meter, 10-minute walk to the hostel. Actually, getting off at JR Station would have been closer, but I wanted to check the Meitetsu train schedules to Atsuta Jingu and Chubu Centrair International Airport, as well as the Meitetsu bus to Matsumoto. Being my first time in Nagoya, the different lines and companies were quite confusing and disorienting. _The hostel is located near a transportation hub, surrounded by various shopping malls, restaurants, convenience stores, and supermarkets, making daily life very convenient. It's also relatively easy to get to attractions like Osu Kannon, Oasis 21, and Nagoya Castle by subway. I stayed in a female-only dormitory on the fifth floor, which had about 30 beds. The beds were spacious, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. Each bed had a safe with Chinese instructions, as well as an outlet, a bedside lamp, and a small TV. Due to the overall space constraints of the hostel, the aisles between the beds were very cramped. There was a small luggage room. On the fifth floor, there were 3 shower rooms and 2 toilets, providing facial cleanser, shower gel, shampoo, and body lotion. There was a self-service coin-operated washing machine for 200 yen per wash and a dryer for 100 yen for 30 minutes. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, bath towels, and slippers all had to be purchased separately. There was a common lounge area on the first floor where everyone's shoes had to be placed in shoe lockers. The first floor also had a refrigerator, microwave, and oven, and complimentary miso soup and tea were provided. The staff were gentle and friendly, providing thoughtful and enthusiastic service; despite me not knowing English or Japanese, they patiently explained everything to me. What confused me was that having traveled to Japan multiple times and stayed in many hostels, guesthouses, or hotels, this was the only place where the shower water pressure was low. I don't know if it was only on the fifth floor during peak water usage hours at night, but for me, this was the biggest drawback. Overall, if you're traveling solo in Nagoya and looking for an affordable and convenient place to stay, this hostel offers good value for money.

Pretty close to the Nagoya station at a reasonable price. They offered little early check-in, prior to the scheduled check-in time at 3.

The hotel is near the train station. Basic accomodation but hotel allows the luggage to be placed when you check out on the same day. The staff were nice.

I happened to be there during the Japanese Culture Festival, and many chain hotels were fully booked 😩 A business hotel popped up on the website, so I happily booked it, marking the end of my trip with three nights! To be honest… I was a bit stunned when I checked in and got to the room 🙄 The environment wasn't great, and there was only a shared bathroom (I was worried about having to use the restroom outside in the middle of the night). I regretted it a little 🥺 But the next day… I got used to it. The location is very close to the subway station, and there are many restaurants nearby. Most importantly… on the last day, I could take the Meitetsu Express directly to the airport ✈️ That was a huge plus! The owners (both Chinese) were very friendly, so communication wasn't a problem. Convenience and affordability… If you just need a place to sleep at night, it's really a good choice. It really is a good option.

The hotel is located in a really nice place, close to the Nagoya station and bus terminal, and also close to several large shopping malls and areas full of bars and restaurants. Check-in was quite straightforward, with guests being given an access card for their locker and elevator. The hotel's agents have a very decent English for Japanese standards. The two elevators are separated, with one exclusive for male guests to reach their exclusive floors and another one for female guests and their exclusive floors. The access card also locks and unlocks their locker, which is tall but also a bit narrow, but wasn't too much of an issue to store by backpack, bag and shoes. Guests are given sleepwear, slippers and towels, and the shared bathrooms are fully furnished with amenities. Common areas include the lounge in the highest floor and the café in the ground floor, well-decorated and quite coherent with the hotel's famous minimalistic and futuristic design language. The sleeping room has its signature look and offered decent space, even though not the largest capsule of its kind. There is one power outlet, a rotating light switch that allows the user to choose the light intensity, and two small compartments to hold glasses, phones or whatever. The pillow and blanket weren't my favourites but it's up to each person to decide. Like all capsule hotels, ventilation might be a problem so a fan or an AC outlet would be nice to have, but it's not a problem exclusive to 9h. In the end, it wasn't the best bed I've slept but I enjoyed the overall experience. The crew was nice, the hotel was organized and clean, the location was near everything I could need, and the price was also nice. I recommend this location for those who don't want to spend much in lodging and plan to spend most of the day outside and just want a place to rest for the night.

I made a reservation just because it was cheap, including Vijiho, but it was a very comfortable space. Since it is an adult hotel, the bed was large and I could sleep comfortably. It was good to have breakfast and choose Western or Japanese food.

I stayed here while sightseeing. It's what they call a love hotel, but I was very satisfied, to be honest. You can go out, the check-out time is late, and they offer room service. This hotel had a spacious room, which was great compared to a small business hotel room. The toilet and bath are separate, and the bath is spacious, with a TV and a TV. Two bath towels were provided. The bed was king-size, spacious, and very comfortable. It's always pitch black, even in the morning, so you can sleep well. The front desk staff were also very friendly. After using this hotel, I decided that this love hotel is worth it. The room was clean and I had a comfortable time. Thank you very much.

Good location and awesome onsen / public bath. Unfortunately strictly no bicycles allowed inside the hotel :(

Free meals in the morning and evening are helpful. Staying by car is also safe with parking service tickets. Move by train Comfortable near the station. Car movement can also be smoothly west and east by highway from bypass. I want to use it next time.

Went there for the F1 race and it was perfect for the weekend. Just make sure you know how to get into Suzuka and you will have a good race weekend. The beds are your typical hard japanese style mattress and also you do have to turn in your key every single time when you leathe property and then pick it back up again whenever you come back. I do wish they just had disposable keys like most other hotels but I didn't have trouble turning in my key offended each day. I do like that I will also get a free drink each time when I come back at the end of the day
