2-Star Hotels in 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.

Cons: 1. Toilet doesnt have heated seat.  2. Water faucet for sink and shower are complicated to use. You have to open both hot and cold faucets to come up with the perfect temperature.  3. No air conditioning. Only heater was available. We were asked to just open the window since the airconditioning was broken during our stay. However it can be noisy at night due to nearby pubs.  4. Pillows and mattress are hard as rock.  5. No other amenities like indoor onsen, vendos, etc pros 1. Spacious room.  2. Easy to access transportation-wise 3. Easy check-in/out process

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.

Japan's 9h capsule hotels are quite renowned, so I made sure to try one out this trip. My overall impression was excellent. The other guests were very considerate, and the hotel itself was spotlessly clean. The lockers were surprisingly spacious, and there were plenty of large, well-maintained shower facilities. Plus, the location was incredibly convenient.

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.

The hotel is located in the largest shopping district in Nagoya, Sakae, with convenient shopping and transportation. The room is indeed small, but the price is high.
