2-Star Hotels in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

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

Perfect for short stays. Located near Nagoya Station - making taking JR/Shinkansen and the subway very easy. There’s plentiful restaurants around and the capsules were rather comfortable. Things to note is that they are unable to store luggage and you need to be out of the capsule rooms between 11-3, you can stay in the L10 lounge if you need somewhere to rest. They have lockers for you to store your stuff and is locked via. a QR code. The locker area is a bit tight for space but will be fine if you don’t stay for long-term and need to sort your luggage constantly. The showers were decently sized and there were enough bathrooms for use provided that it’s not rush hour. Overall, the experience was good and I would definitely stay at another 9h hotel for its price, comfort and convenience c:

Never disappointed with Japan hostel. Clean, quiet, organised etc. This hostel is very strategic location in Osu (大须) Shotengai Shopping Street and having nearby train station. It is also walking distance to Sakae area. A must visit Osu plus stay for solo Travellers. Afternoon shopping can put groceries at hostel and continue shopping again. The instructions in English is very clear, the bed in room is very clean etc.

Very good capsule hotel, good value for the money! Very helpful staff and able to speak English (Suzuki, Chie, Arjun, thanks). Free soft drinks, free alcohol from 17-27, free breakfast and dinner, very good spa and sauna, anime corner and mini games. The difference from last year is that the top floor isn't just for man anymore, the women has their on section now, while the man has to share their section, which isn't fair. It would've been better a mixed floor or women have there own floor (Only 2 massage chairs and 1 isn't working properly on the male section, there were 3 last year). Also, you only supposed to talk on the phone in a small ”phone boot”, which is for one person, which is silly in my opinion (the women section used to be the part, where you were able to speak with others on the phone/app). I also miss the lemony ”energy” drink from the sauna and the ”flushing noise” option from the toilet from last year. It's still a very good hotel!

The facilities were comfortable and clean. The bed was relatively short/tiny even for a short person like me (153cm). I really liked how the staff would ensure that lights would be closed by 10PM. Staying near Nagoya station meant that there were bus terminals and every train type to access to easily. I also really liked the free flow for drinks (coffee/tea/water hot&cold). There were bowls and utensils to use for food as well. While staying on the highest floor, having an elevator was really nice. Despite this my stay was quite inconvenient. All of the amenities cost 50-600¥. I had to rent a towel and after checking out the baggage storage was 600¥ to store from 10AM-11PM. When I arrived at 1PM to check in or at least leave my luggage, the hostel was closed. Luckily the accommodation was only 7min away from Nagoya station and I could leave my luggage in the coin lockers. One really inconvenient at least for the ladie’s dorm was the baggage corner and the size of it. It was not allowed to keep bags within the bedroom (understandably). However I had a lot of baggage and the baggage storage corner within the same floor was really tiny and cramped. I used double the time than normal to unpack and repack because I had to bring stuff that I needed for shower and to the bed. At the same time I had to dodge people coming in and out the whole time. For some reason in the morning the bedroom door was kept open and I don’t know if it’s part of the rules, similar to the switching off the lights at 10PM. I’ve had a more convenient stay with similar cost in other places in japan with free amenities. This was really disappointing :/

The hotel rooms are of average size, but the bathrooms aren't spacious; they might be suitable for shorter people. The rooms are not soundproof. I checked in at 6 PM intending to rest, but the hotel seemed to be cleaning or doing something, and the doors were slamming shut very loudly. I would like them to improve the door system. Even my own room, which I tried to close quietly, was noisy. I understand why.

The hotel room is really small for the price you’re paying. Usually, if I pay around $100 per night, I get a much bigger room elsewhere, so just keep that in mind. The room also feels a bit old, and overall it’s just small. The bathroom is small as well, and the hot water doesn’t stay warm for long—it turns cold on its own, which is a bit inconvenient, especially if you’re visiting in winter. That said, the location is great. It’s close to a lot of popular restaurants, including a famous barbecue spot, and there’s a FamilyMart just a two-minute walk away. They also provide umbrellas you can use. Despite the room being smaller and more expensive than what I’d usually pay for this size, I still had a good stay overall—especially since I woke up to snowfall, which was really nice.

This hotel is located right in front of Obu Station, about a 15-minute train ride from Nagoya. Even though it was a weekend, it cost under 10,000 yen and included breakfast, making it a great value. Hotels in Nagoya city seem to be quite expensive on weekends lately, but this hotel offers reasonable rates not far from Nagoya. For breakfast, they offer side dishes made by local delis, and, as you'd expect in Aichi Prefecture, they even have kishimen noodles. The fact that this is free is fantastic. Although I didn't go out during my stay, be aware that you need to leave your key at the front desk if you plan to leave the premises. Also, there's only one elevator, so you might have to wait, but the emergency staircase seemed to be open during the morning hours.

The hotel room is relatively large, clean and hygienic, there are disposable slippers (very satisfied with this), the hot water can be adjusted a little, it is close to the subway, and it is easy to find. The front desk was very enthusiastic to remind there is a hot spring bath (unfortunately I didn't have the courage to soak); Before leaving, I stored my luggage. There was a bag of comics that was not very good to take. The front desk was very intimate to take a plastic bag. Five-star praise!
