Hostels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

The place is clean and near many eateries. There's an eatery that opens till 3am which serves good ramen. The only thing is that there is no lift. So if you are staying on rooms other than the ground floor and travel with heavy luggages, it will be quite a task.

I initially thought I had booked a regular room, but it turned out to be a dormitory-style capsule instead. If you’re traveling light, this place may suit you, but there isn’t much space to store luggage. There’s no locker or safe provided. Amenities are not complimentary, each item, including bottled water, costs 100 yen. Upon checkout, you’re required to remove the bedsheet and pillowcase yourself. Also, note that the showers are only available until 10:30 pm. Personally, I found the place unsuitable for my needs and decided to move to another proper hotel nearby. One more thing to be aware of: the property is located near a temple, and the surrounding area has no streetlights at night. Walking back via that route can feel quite eerie, so it’s safer to stick to the main road along the river.

The facilities were comfortable and clean. The bed was relatively short/tiny even for a short person like me (153cm). I really liked how the staff would ensure that lights would be closed by 10PM. Staying near Nagoya station meant that there were bus terminals and every train type to access to easily. I also really liked the free flow for drinks (coffee/tea/water hot&cold). There were bowls and utensils to use for food as well. While staying on the highest floor, having an elevator was really nice. Despite this my stay was quite inconvenient. All of the amenities cost 50-600¥. I had to rent a towel and after checking out the baggage storage was 600¥ to store from 10AM-11PM. When I arrived at 1PM to check in or at least leave my luggage, the hostel was closed. Luckily the accommodation was only 7min away from Nagoya station and I could leave my luggage in the coin lockers. One really inconvenient at least for the ladie’s dorm was the baggage corner and the size of it. It was not allowed to keep bags within the bedroom (understandably). However I had a lot of baggage and the baggage storage corner within the same floor was really tiny and cramped. I used double the time than normal to unpack and repack because I had to bring stuff that I needed for shower and to the bed. At the same time I had to dodge people coming in and out the whole time. For some reason in the morning the bedroom door was kept open and I don’t know if it’s part of the rules, similar to the switching off the lights at 10PM. I’ve had a more convenient stay with similar cost in other places in japan with free amenities. This was really disappointing :/

Never disappointed with Japan hostel. Clean, quiet, organised etc. This hostel is very strategic location in Osu (大须) Shotengai Shopping Street and having nearby train station. It is also walking distance to Sakae area. A must visit Osu plus stay for solo Travellers. Afternoon shopping can put groceries at hostel and continue shopping again. The instructions in English is very clear, the bed in room is very clean etc.

O hotel foi exatamente como imaginei!** Desde o check-in rápido e eficiente até o quarto impecável, tudo foi perfeito. A localização era ótima, o café da manhã delicioso e o atendimento, impecável. Sem dúvidas, superou minhas expectativas e recomendo a todos que buscam conforto e qualidade. Voltarei com certeza!”

This is the second time I stayed at the Shochikumei Hotel. The hotel seems to be a renovation of the former workers' dormitory. It is within a ten-minute walk from Nagoya Station. It is two stops away from Sakae Station, and the transportation is very convenient. The hotel room is small, but very clean, and disposable toothbrushes and slippers are provided. The bathroom and toilet are public, relatively clean and sanitary. I will stay here again next time, mainly because it is cost-effective.

挺有意思的一次經歷，很像中國老式的招待所，或者港式的宿舍，有公用澡堂，沒有樓上的WiFi，鑰匙離房的時候放入鑰匙孔就行，沒有人checkout，辦理checkin都是年紀很大的奶奶，其他酒店見不到的，但是乾淨還是很乾凈的，床單和被子都是一次性的，也沒有味道，這點比國內的好多了插座有，第二天一早走，衹是睡一覺，還是挺舒服的，房子有防空洞避難所，挺有意思
