Nikko Style Nagoya

nice room for a family of four. great lobby, very friendly staff

First off, the location was excellent. We were a short walk from Nagoya Station, and best of all, it was easy too. From the Station, walk towards the spiral building (you CANNOT miss it), and then take a left. Aloing the way, there are lots of local eateries that are always full (so you know they're good), and it's also a minute or two away from the local fish market, which offers tonnes of fresh seafood. Apart from that, there are two kombinis (7-11 and Family Mart) about 5 minutes away (although they are not as big as others and often run out of my favourite tamago-sando). The hotel was also very stylish and chic. Honestly, we'd never choose a place like this because we'd assume that the price would have been too prohibitive. Fortunately for us, it wasn't and we found the perfect little spot in Nagoya. The room itself were superbly designed. We needed an extra bed, so it was a bit cramped, but with a bit of imagination and rearranging, we made the space work well for us. The beds were comfortable, and the amenities were superb. The shower (my most crucial factor) was hot and powerful, which we all needed after 10 hours of walking each day. But what made the 5-star stay truly unforgettable was the staff, in particular one Ryosuke Kato! He was the first person to meet us when we checked-in, and we immediately hit it off. Over the next week or so, he took great care of us, and gave us tonnes of recommendations around Nagoya, the smaller cities around, and especially his hometown of Okazaki. In fact, his hospitality and warmth made it feel like we were staying with an old friend in his very posh and upmarket apartment, rather than at one of Nagoya's coolest hotels. We will truly miss him and cannot wait for the day when we see each other again. Ps. When at Nikko Style, make sure you rent the bikes to explore the city a bit. You just need to navigate the parking.

The room was luxurious and large by Japanese standards. The beds were amazing and soft. The whole floor was super quiet. The staff were quick to check us in and gave clear directions in English as needed and suggestions on what to see in the historical area very close by. It was a surprise to find we were so close to a heritage area of Nagoya. It is also a reasonable distance to the Nagoya castle but a taxi ride is still better than walking when it’s hot!

We had a great stay at this hotel! It’s located just a 10-minute walk from the nearest train station, which is only one stop away from Sakae, the bustling heart of Nagoya. The super king room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The staff were consistently friendly and polite, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The hotel also has a cafe. One thing I didn’t realize was that they don’t have coin laundry facilities, but there’s a clothes line in the bathroom, and they offer laundry service if needed. They also seem to provide a luggage delivery service, though we didn’t need it during our short visit. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would definitely consider staying here again.

Modern art deco lounge area was very nice and relaxing. The background music in the lounge and restaurants was high fidelity quality and pleasing to listen to. The hotel restaurant and breakfast was very good. The room and bathroom was immaculately clean. The reception staff was excellent, and very courteous and helpful. The bed was huge and comfortable and the HDMI dongle on the TV was a nice touch. There were plenty of restaurants near the hotel, but we mostly enjoyed the hotel's restaurant cafe and restaurant as the hotel ambience was excellent.
