It's close to both Marunouchi and Fushimi stations. If you have luggage, it's recommended to take the elevator at Fushimi station as it's easier. From Marunouchi, you can cross a pedestrian bridge to reach the hotel, but it's too difficult to carry luggage up and down the bridge. The room is small (a 29-inch suitcase cannot be fully opened) but very clean. Luggage storage is available. The front desk staff is friendly and some speak Chinese. The lobby is on the second floor and offers disposable amenities, a coffee machine, and a smoking room. Overall, this hotel is very good, and I would choose it again next time!

The hotel is surrounded by LEGO for you to play with, the kids are very happy, and it's very close to the park. It's right across the street. Our pirate room even had a treasure: 2 packs of LEGO. Although it's expensive... it's worth it.

I was able to get a substantial discount when I booked this accommodation through Klook. This hotel is highly recommended. It is in a prime location close to the majority of the major attractions and near to Nagoya Station. There are many shops and restaurants in the area. The staff was so understanding that we were allowed to check in early. Despite its small size, the room was clean and we were able to stay comfortably. The bed was top-notch and we had a nice rest every night. The drinkable water is one feature that I truly appreciate. We will definitely book again in this hotel.

It's conveniently located near the station, about a 5-8 minute walk from the Gintoki Clock. The room is a bit small for two people; a 30-inch suitcase won't open fully (it'll block the aisle). The bathroom doesn't have a separate shower and toilet, but overall it's very clean.

Our room at 21st floor, verynice view and convenient because it close to train station and many shopping malls/restaurants..I saw other reviews about the train sounds at night which may caused some noises but we feel it is not very loud. Highly recommended.

The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, featuring local Nagoya specialties. The hotel environment was clean, and the large public bath had a great layout! It came with pajamas, and the room even had a capsule coffee machine. It's about a 6-minute walk from Nagoya Station. Highly recommended, I would definitely want to stay here again next time~
