nice stay in Nagoya
The room was comfortable, bunks for my family of 4. Front desk staff pleasant. Let us check in a couple hours early and watched our bags until the time arrived. Shared bathrooms and toilets were clean. Could have been a little troublesome if more people were staying at the hostel. Kitchen was clean enough except should have some paper towels or something for cleaning, as the sponge and rags were really digusting and smelled of mold and mildew. I would still stay here again.

The location is very convenient as it is only 10-15mins away on foot from the train and bus station in Nagoya, and there are lots of different restaurants and bars and cafes in the area. The staff are lovely and very kind and helpful, and the hostel was very clean and the bed comfy. There is also a cafe or bar downstairs, which is really nice for having a beer or coffee close by. It is also cool that the hostel has a female-only floor. The hostel however has a policy where if you want to use the shower after you've checked out you have to pay extra, which I can understand, but at the same time it seems and feels unecessarily inflexible after you've already spent money in the hostel... they usually don't allow people to use the kitchen either after they've checked out, which also seems a bit petty. These were my only remarks. Other than that I had a great experience.

Amazing staff and stay
I reserved this room for my son who was traveling solo in Japan. He really enjoyed his experience in Nagoya. He said that the person that checked him in was the kindest person he met while in Japan. A big compliment for a country that has such wonderful customer service. The location was very convenient and the accommodations really nice for a budget stay.

Flashiest backpackers I've ever stayed at!
This place is only a few hindered meters from the Nagoya train station which made it super handy and central for getting around. The staff were super welcoming and could not assist me enough planning my next few days and making sure I was set up in my room ok. It was extremely clean and the ammenities were plenty. Space was slightly limited in my six bed room but the bed size made up for that with think privacy curtains and a rail that included coat hangers and a place to hang your tail. There was also a locker for small goods if required. The kitchen was well equipped and clean also. Highly recommend this place if staying in Nagoya

Nice staff. Great cleanliness. Just a bit far from the station. And the bunks are a bit too close

Noisy construction makes sleep impossible
It's a nice place, except for when you try and sleep. Loudest banging construction noises right across the window sail through the thin windows starting at 6:00AM. Given that I am up working until 4:00AM, this means no sleep, and a completely ruined sleep schedule and work day the next day. Get thicker windows or something, because sleep depriving customers is the exact opposite of what they pay you to do.

Nice hostel
The hostel staff was really helpful n very quick in responding to email inquiries before my arrival. Accommodation charge includes a superb breakfast prepared by the staff! Hostel also provides some evening activities eg visits to public bath though i didnt have time to join. Superb location - close to subway n bus stations. However, the bunkbeds in the dorm could be rather squeaky...

Very quick! Check in before midnight and out the door 6am the next morning to catch a train. I was greeted very warmly by the friendly staff and supplied with all the information needed to enjoy my stay. Would go back there!

Affordable lodging near Nagoya Station
To get to the hotel from Nagoya Station take the Taikodori exit and make a right. Cross the street and walk about 5 minutes, it would be hard to miss. The proprietor is very nice and fluent in English. The rooms are comfortable and the hotel is still very new. Great showers and wi-fi. The restaurant seemed like a great place to eat, but I was only their one night and didn't have a chance to try it out.

安く滞在したいならあり
部屋は清潔感あっていいし、貸し出しスリッパもあってよかった。 隣の部屋の人が夜中の2時ごろまで部屋で話しており丸聞こえでなかなか眠れず。こればかりは運なので仕方ない。 ドア側のベットだったが、ドアが開くたびに廊下の光が入ってきて夜間眩しかった。ベッドの下側になると、上のベットの人が個人用の電気をつけると下まで眩しい。アイマスクを持っていくことをおすすめします。 チェックイン時にチェックアウトの時間を聞かれて答えたが、その時間にフロントが開いておらず、チェックアウト出来なくて困っていたら、他の宿泊者がたまたま通りかかって教えてくれたのでチェックアウトできた。 チェックインの時に説明されなかった？と聞かれたため、たまたま説明忘れただけなのかな。 バスルームは無印良品のスキンケアがあるし、ドライヤーも常備してるしよかった。 ただバスルーム全体がカビ臭かったので辛かった。 寝るだけと割り切れば安いし、名古屋駅から徒歩圏内なのでいいかな。

乾淨舒適的住宿
已經第2次入住，這次連續住3個晚上，整體來說乾淨舒適，缺點是沒有電梯跟離車站有一段距離，1樓是酒吧，有活動的話聲音會略吵，3樓有廚房，可以煮水、微波食品，住宿費在名古屋一直都比其他熱門城市高，背包客要稍微考慮一下。
