2-Star Hotels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

I stayed for 3 nights, for my opinion the hostel facilities are quite new and very clean. Although guests are required to leave between 11:00-15:00, but everything is refreshed and spotless when you return, almost like check in again each day. However, it would be better, if there were more space available for packing.

This hotel is a solid option for travelers looking for a clean, comfortable stay near Nagoya Station at a reasonable price. The room is small but well-equipped with essentials like slippers, pyjamas, a hairdryer, and a water boiler. While bottled water isn’t provided, it’s convenient to purchase from the nearby Seven Eleven or Aeon store. One of the best aspects is the peaceful environment. Unlike some modern hotels with thin walls, this one has good soundproofing, and the sliding door adds extra noise isolation. The air conditioning is individually controlled, making it easy to adjust the temperature precisely. The hotel itself looks quite new and is kept very clean. I had a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and professional, with one gentleman at the front desk standing out for his attentive service and clear explanations of the facilities. Location-wise, it’s about an 8-minute walk from Nagoya Station, though there is no covered walkway. The neighborhood feels safe, and there are plenty of dining options at the station. Some guests mentioned concerns about the curtain, but I found it adequate for blocking sunlight. Would recommend for short stays in Nagoya!

The location if near subway gate and big street, also has convenience store nearby so it’s very good. It’s under renovation when I came but the undergoing work didn’t disturb guests at all. The room is kind of small for single type but it was very comfortable because they provided smart tv, which I could connect to my Netflix and Youtube account, small refrigerator for my drinks, air conditioner and bathroom. Since my room is the farthest from elevator and it was right in the corner side, I got to have big bathroom with shower stand and closet. The room also has so many electrical outlets so you don’t have to worry about charging your phones (if you have more than 1 phone like me), your power banks, your smart watches, and you still can use their provided hair dryer as well! The hotel also provides vending machines for cup ramen and also drinks so you don’t have to worry about starving or dehydrating. So far, it’s best and very money value for solo traveler like me! Would like to stay here again next time!!

The best choice for a budget solo traveler. It offers free unlimited drinks all day, unlimited curry with rice for breakfast, unlimited fresh ramen noodles at night, and free alcoholic drinks in the evening. There is a lounge on the 11th floor, a public bath with a hot pool and sauna, and free shampoo, body soap, conditioner, hair gel, hair spray, and face and body lotion. It also provides free toothbrushes and razors. The locker fits a 20kg size luggage if not, you can put it at the large luggage compartment and ask for chain with lock at the lobby. There are coin washing machines and dryers available as well. Heads up to those with tattoos: this hotel only has a public bath, and tattoos are not allowed.

This hotel is located near the exchange road. There is free parking. There are plenty of parking spaces and there are free breakfast. There are many choices for breakfast. There are also many restaurants next to it. It is a good travel experience.

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 hotel rooms are of average size, but the bathrooms aren't spacious; they might be suitable for shorter people. The rooms are not soundproof. I checked in at 6 PM intending to rest, but the hotel seemed to be cleaning or doing something, and the doors were slamming shut very loudly. I would like them to improve the door system. Even my own room, which I tried to close quietly, was noisy. I understand why.

This hotel is located right in front of Obu Station, about a 15-minute train ride from Nagoya. Even though it was a weekend, it cost under 10,000 yen and included breakfast, making it a great value. Hotels in Nagoya city seem to be quite expensive on weekends lately, but this hotel offers reasonable rates not far from Nagoya. For breakfast, they offer side dishes made by local delis, and, as you'd expect in Aichi Prefecture, they even have kishimen noodles. The fact that this is free is fantastic. Although I didn't go out during my stay, be aware that you need to leave your key at the front desk if you plan to leave the premises. Also, there's only one elevator, so you might have to wait, but the emergency staircase seemed to be open during the morning hours.

I stayed here to attend a year-end party and do some end-of-year shopping at a department store. It's conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from Matsuzakaya. It's in the downtown area but it was quiet at night. The Meitetsu Kyosho Parking diagonally in front of the hotel is an affiliated parking lot and can be used for 1,300 yen per night. It seems that you can't reserve the parking lot, but it's a multi-story parking lot that can accommodate a large number of cars. After checking in, I did some shopping at Matsuzakaya for about 10,000 yen, and when I showed my parking ticket at the information desk I was given two 30-minute service tickets, so the bill the next day was 1,060 yen.

Location is near the train station. You can hear the train passing by but it's okay. No smoking area. For the price the place is okay.
