Comfort Hotel Nagoya Fushimi

Reason for 0.5 rating on "Service": Upon check-in, the hotel failed to provide enough pillows for the number of guests, and when I asked the front desk for more, they said they had no inventory! Ctrip tried to mediate several times to no avail. Eventually, the front desk offered two throw pillows as a makeshift solution. Reason for 0.5 rating on "Environment": I stayed in a top-floor room, and there was severe low-frequency noise (from a commercial outdoor compressor right outside the window/vibration from the rooftop AC units). My request to switch rooms was denied (fully booked). This significantly impacted my sleep. If you're sensitive to noise, definitely choose a lower floor. After changing rooms the next day, there were no issues.

Very close to Sakae, about a 10-minute walk. You can find both budget-friendly and high-end shopping there. The airport bus stop is super convenient: turn left out of the hotel, cross the street, then turn right, and it's just a three-minute walk. The subway is also nearby, about a five-minute walk. I booked a twin room, which came with two chairs and a small round table. The space isn't huge but it's perfectly adequate. There's a laundry room, an ice machine, and even a microwave on each floor. The only downside was the long wait for the elevator.

This is the nth time I've stayed at a hotel from this brand. The room size and design are pretty much the same everywhere – not huge, but perfectly adequate. The complimentary breakfast is standard; it feels like the food is identical in every location, with the exception of one local specialty. It's much cheaper than hotels near Nagoya Station. Walking to Fushimi Station is also convenient. I later discovered that taking exit E from the underground shopping area is the shortest route, but be warned, there are only stairs, no elevators or escalators.

Perfect for an early flight to Hokkaido at 7:00 AM. Breakfast starts at 6:00 AM, but I'd suggest eating for just 15 minutes and then heading straight out as it's pretty basic. It's about a 5-minute walk to the check-in counter. Domestic flights are quick to process and security is fast, so you should be through everything by about 6:45 AM, leaving 15 minutes before boarding. **Note: This plan isn't suitable for international flights.**
