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!

Pretty close to the Nagoya station at a reasonable price. They offered little early check-in, prior to the scheduled check-in time at 3.

Everything was perfect, except for the fact that you can't store luggage after checking out. For just over a hundred a night, these capsule beds are an absolute steal. The separation of the washroom and sleeping areas is really conducive to a good rest. There's a great cafe downstairs, but the check-in time is strictly enforced at 3 PM.

名古屋から電車で15分ほどの大府駅目の前にあります。土日でしたが10000円切って朝食もついている、コスパの良いホテルだと思います。名古屋市内のホテルは最近土日はかなり高騰してる気がしますが、そんな名古屋からそう離れていない場所でリーズナブルに宿泊できるホテルです。 朝食については地元のお惣菜屋さんが作っている惣菜や、やはり愛知ということできしめんもあったりします。これが無料なのはすばらしいです。 今回自分は滞在中外へは出てませんが、外出する際は鍵をフロントに預ける必要がある点は要注意です。また、エレベーターが1基しかなく場合によっては待ちますが、朝の時間帯は非常階段も開放されているようでした。

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

The room was very well-organized; half for sleeping and half for storing luggage – very convenient! There was also a large balcony. The owner was very kind and accommodating! Excellent service; I'll definitely come back next year.

The hotel room is general and the Wifi is weak, but there was beef bowl and curry in the breakfast buffet, and it was very good for the people who wanted to eat guts from the morning. The quality was also high.

One of my best capsule hotel that I have ever stayed. The whole building is catered to Male occupants, 2 sauna levels, free rice, free alcohol and locker is big enough to fit large items. Location is great, opposite ichiran. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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~
