Japan: Compass Hotel Nagoya


 


Compass Hotel Nagoya
Nakamura-ku Meieki 4-22-21, Nagoya Sta on, Nagoya, Japan 450-0002
Travel Date: December 2024, 3 nights


Location:  It was a 10 minutes walk away from Nagoya Station.  Good option if you are frequently going to the Hirokoji-dori area, since there's a bus C-758 that has been circling the main routes. And one of the drop-off points is just in front of the hotel.


Check-in: We were not bored at their Lobby.  Well designed photowall with names of where they were taken.


Lucky to have visited some of the places from previous trips, namely Shirakawa-go, Ise Shrine in Mie, Nagoya Castle, Toyota Museum, Tsumago Post Town and Mount Fuji.


There are also books and magazines you can browse while waiting for the check-in procedure.  We got to our room 30 minutes earlier than expected check-in time, so it's a plus.


Security: It was good.  You need to tap your card before you can reach your floor. 


Room: It's small, but nice and clean. Bed is comfortable, but not much for the pillow.  Good thing they also provided a sofa.


TV has local channels.


Food: Free-flowing coffee and tea at the lobby anytime during your stay.  


They did not reserve a breakfast meal, but we were offered basic meal stubs.


First morning, I burnt some pastries in the oven toaster.  The next day, it got better.  We had decent coffee, croissants, and onigiri (rice ball).  Thank you for the meal.


Cons: There's a small window, but since it's too cold, we did not bother to check if there's a view.  We just ensured to keep it closed for security reasons.

Check-out:  Very quick.  We just surrendered the cards and unused stubs.


Recommendation:  If Sotetsu Fresa Inn Sakuradori-guchi offers a better price I'll book it first since it's closer to Nagoya station.  Next option I'll go to Compass Hotel Nagoya.
