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.

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!

Location is about 1.km from Kyoto train station by foot and there is no restaurant nearby the hostel. Room is clean and spacious

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.

There was only a smoking room at the time of booking, but when I checked in, I was confirmed whether there was smoking and I was able to change because there was a non-smoking room. Very good care You need to be careful about the volume in the room because you can hear the sound of the corridor well

Good location and awesome onsen / public bath. Unfortunately strictly no bicycles allowed inside the hotel :(

The location of the hotel is good and convenient, only 8-10 minutes walk from the Kamayama train station. My room was clean and AC was strong. The reception was friendly and helpful! However, we did not notice it was shared bathroom and toilet when making hotel reservation. Also no elevator above the 5th floor, families with stroller and big luggage may need to pay attention^^

Because the flight was slightly delayed, it was already 10pm when we arrived at the hotel. I watched other people parking the last parking space. As a result, I had to park my car in a nearby paid parking lot, which lost the meaning of choosing this place.

Fantastic location within walking distance of a well connected metro stop. Nagoya castle and Nagoya station also within walking distance. The unlimited soft drinks on the 11th floor is a really nice touch with great variety. Great amenities. I’ve stayed in capsule hotels in Berlin, Prague and Hong Kong before but this one in Nagoya is S tier. Highly recommend.

The hotel is located right at the entrance of the station, which is very convenient. The service staff is very friendly. Although the room is small, it is very clean! The breakfast menu changes every day. This is a very attentive hotel!  The bathhouse is a bit small, which is a pity~
