Price: Expensive triple room during sakura festival (7073php/night)


Location: Accessible from Sakae Station (Exit 1 and 2 for stairs and Exit 8 for elevator or escalator.  For food the closest is getting onigiri at 7/11 in the building grounds.  There’s also Coco Ichibanya on the next building.  There are other restaurants and shops in Central Underground Market. My favorite would be doing your omiyage shopping in Don Quijote above the Sakae station.






Room Type:  It is a bit difficult to find a triple bed room in Nagoya.  Some offer 2 connected double bedroom instead, but that will be difficult in our case. Thus, we opted to choose this hotel.



Bed: The third bedroom beside the window looks like a converted sofa to bed area.  Each bed is spacious with hotdog pillow and a separate hard and soft pillow type.

Service: Cleaning service is good.



Food: We did not book for breakfast meal at the hotel since we always step out early.  But you can easily buy snacks and quick meals in 7/11 at the ground floor of the building.  There is also a nearby Coco Ichibanya which can fill tummy at your first night.  If you are looking for more option, go the Underground Mall of Central Square.

You can also bring in your food at a pantry type of room in 2F.  They offer free drinks between 2pm-11pm.  This is the same room that offers breakfast from 6a-9:30a.



Panic Button On: Please be aware that this hotel has a setup where lavatory is located outside the bathroom.  Which means that your roommates will see or watch you when you are washing your face or while you brushing your teeth.  Also, there is no lavatory inside the bathroom.



Security: The room is accessible when you tap-in the access pass on the elevator.



Recommendation:  If you are looking for a newly opened hotel in the heart of Sakae area, this place is for you.  Close to Sakae station, connected to 2 lanes by Meijo Line and Higashiyama Line (subway).  Offers pantry/dinning area with free drinks between 2pm to 11pm.  They also have 2 apple computers and 1 printer to cater your needs.
