Check in/out process was really smooth and love the location — station, donki, konbini, pharmacy, shopping locs are everywhere! Was adamant to book it at first because I wanted to stay closer to Nagoya station but good thing, I saw reviews about this place. The bath necessities are available at the reception and i must say I love the salt bath as it helped me enjoy a warm soak before bed. Will surely book this again someday

We had a pleasant evening in this cafe. The girls were friendly and they made the rules clear in a fun engaging way. I also liked the original way of calling for them and their rewarding system with their own currency whenever they did something you liked haha.

We had a good time petting the baby piggies. One did bite my ankle but it was innocent 😅 Kudos to the people working there to manage and clean up so fast. They were very responsive to it and did a great job explaining also.

Comfortable room, very friendly and helpful staff. Train stations nearby and many shops in the area, a great option if you're in Nagoya. We will definitely return.

I stayed from March 1st to March 4th and was very happy with the location and facilities. Sakae Station Exit 1 is a bit far if you take the purple line at Sakae Station, but anyway, when you come out of Exit 1, there is a Don Quijote right there, and Vessel Inn is a short 2-3 minute walk up. I stayed in the smallest room, but it was nice because it had a view of the Mirai Tower, although the room size was quite small. I ate breakfast every day for 3 days, and most of it was the same, but things like udon were rotated daily. From 2pm to 7pm, you can make cocktails for free on the 2nd floor, so I felt so good having a glass as I passed by. From 2pm to 11pm, you can have coffee or soda, so it was great to have a vitamin soda when I was thirsty. Next time, I want to try Vessel Campana near Nagoya Station. They say it has a large public bath and there is a lot of shopping near Nagoya Station, so I'll go there next time! Vessel Inn was a really cost-effective and great hotel.
