Hotel Abest OSU Kannon Ekimae Hane No Yu

I stayed here for my fan activities. It takes about 30 minutes by train to get to Vantelin Dome. There's a 7-Eleven conveniently located between the hotel and the nearest station. There's a free space on the first floor until around 11 PM where you can get free drinks and bring them back to your room. However, the building is very old, and the doors make a lot of noise when opened and closed. There's a large public bath, and while it was an artificial hot spring, the bath itself was good.

1. The location is excellent, right next to Osu Kannon Station and the shopping street entrance. It's very convenient for daily life, and getting to Nagoya Station or Sakae is easy. 2. The service is great; they even offer hand warmers when you head out. The first-floor lounge is free to use in the afternoons, with some simple drinks and a good selection of free manga and board games. The bathhouse is on the second floor, with one for men and one for women. However, only one has a sauna and toilet, while the other just has showers and a smaller soaking tub. They swap them for different genders morning and evening. 3. The rooms are a bit small; I'd recommend checking the official room information for square footage. The bathroom ceiling might drip due to an air conditioning issue. For stays beyond a certain number of days, there's a corresponding cleaning schedule, which guests are asked to choose upon check-in. 4. Given the price and location, it's perfect for solo travelers or two or three friends, each staying in their own room.

The room was really small and a bit old, but it was very clean. The front desk offered a lot of toiletries. Exiting right, you're right at the Osu Shopping Street, but it gets very quiet at night.

The hotel is clean and well-equipped with amenities. However, it seems renovations haven't been done recently, as there were tears and scratches on the hallway wallpaper. The room door also felt old, not opening and closing smoothly. The public bath and the breakfast steak were good.

It's great to have a choice of meals. For those who want a hearty meal, I recommend it as you can even choose steak for breakfast. They also had salads and dried daikon, which I enjoyed.
