Hotels near Nakamura Ward, Nagoya

About a ten-minute walk from Nagoya Station, which is quite convenient. The room was just right, though the bathroom was a tiny bit small. There's a FamilyMart nearby, but when I went later in the day, all the large bottles of water were gone! They have self-service luggage storage, which is super handy. The front desk staff were really friendly and helped me send a package, which solved a problem for me. There's a QR code you can scan to arrange luggage transfer between two hotels, or you can ask the front desk for a shipping label to send parcels to other addresses. I also discovered a super delicious Vietnamese restaurant nearby!

The place is clean and near many eateries. There's an eatery that opens till 3am which serves good ramen. The only thing is that there is no lift. So if you are staying on rooms other than the ground floor and travel with heavy luggages, it will be quite a task.

Although it's a JR West hotel, this one is a bit too far from Nagoya Station. You have to cross several roads, and the overall experience isn't as good as JR East Mets Hotel, which is directly connected to the station. I booked this hotel for the convenience of catching an early train, and I was very disappointed. The hotel is a bit old, and the front desk is small, but they have self-checkout machines which are quite convenient. There's a FamilyMart convenience store right next to the lobby, making it easy to grab a late-night snack or breakfast for the next day. The room size is decent. I'm not sure why the kettle and the table with an outlet and seating are placed in two separate areas. There are no tea sets in the room; you have to get them downstairs yourself. As an economy option, it's passable, but as a JR hotel, it doesn't really stand out.

Located right above Nagoya Station, this hotel has been around for over 10 years, but its facilities are so well-maintained, it still feels brand new. The best part is the incredible convenience for getting around; you can hop on the subway, JR, or Shinkansen directly, saving a lot on taxi fares. The famous Takashimaya department store is also in the same building, spanning floors 1 to 11, with floors 12 and 13 dedicated to dining, offering a wide array of Nagoya's culinary delights.

An old-school Japanese ryokan. While the facilities are a bit dated, they are well-maintained. The onsen (hot spring) is definitely the highlight, though it's a shame there's no outdoor bath. It's mostly locals staying here, which creates a really nice atmosphere.

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.

Sanco Inn Nagoya I recently stayed at Sanco Inn Nagoya, and overall it was a very pleasant experience, especially for a short trip. 👍 Pros Excellent Location The hotel’s location is one of its biggest advantages. It’s very close to Nagoya Station, which makes it extremely convenient for transportation, whether you’re arriving by Shinkansen or exploring the city. Getting around was easy and stress-free. Plenty of Restaurants Nearby There are many restaurants within walking distance, offering a wide range of options—from local Japanese cuisine to international food. It was nice to have so many dining choices just steps away from the hotel. Convenience Store Nearby There’s also a mini shop (convenience store) close to the hotel, which was very handy. We could easily grab snacks, drinks, or small essentials anytime. Good Breakfast The breakfast was surprisingly good. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore. 👎 Cons Small Room Size The only downside was that the room was quite small. However, this is quite common in Japan. For us, it wasn’t a big issue since we mainly used the room just to sleep at night. ⭐ Overall If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and well-located hotel near Nagoya Station, Sanco Inn Nagoya is a great choice. It’s especially suitable for short stays or travelers who prioritize location and practicality over room size. I would definitely consider staying here again.

The hotel is located near Taiko-dori Exit, but the name is a bit misleading. It's not actually by the Shinkansen exit, but closer to the Meitetsu line. It's still a bit of a walk from the station, and when coming from the airport line, I initially had no idea which way to go to find the hotel. The room was a typical Japanese-style room, as expected—quite small, but perfectly fine for a stay. The bathroom was an integrated unit, and also very clean. The breakfast was really bad ✗✗✗. While it was a ”buffet,” the selection was extremely limited. A few meatballs and some hash browns pretty much made up the entire offering. The dining area was also tiny, only about the size of two guest rooms. However, the service was something I was quite satisfied with ✅✅✅: The front desk had a dual-sided translator that supported multiple languages, making communication very easy. Before checking in, I emailed the hotel about room types and luggage delivery, and they responded quite quickly. The front desk can arrange Yamato Transport (Kuroneko Takkyubin) to send large luggage ahead to your next destination, which saves a lot of effort during your trip. The price varies depending on the luggage size, and delivery usually takes one day (for the Takayama-Hokuriku region).

Although the last renovation was in 2015, the facilities, cleanliness, and service are still quite good. The public area on the first floor is small but includes a microwave, and free hot water and Miso soup are available all day. The location is excellent, very close to the train station. I recommend visiting Atsuta Jingu Shrine and Osu Kannon Temple; Nagoya Castle was just okay. For getting around, the 24-hour subway pass is a great deal, especially since passes in other cities are usually day passes that expire the next day.

Excellent service, they handled our luggage very well. The room was also very comfortable. I especially loved their breakfast, which had a great variety. The location is perfect for exploring on foot right downstairs, and it's close to a famous unagi restaurant. I'd definitely come back here.
