VIA INN NAGOYA EKIMAE TSUBAKICHO JR-West Group

This hotel is very convenient to travel to and from nearby business districts and tourist attractions.

Convenient location - near JR station. Quite a number of restaurants nearby.

Very near Nagoya station. Staff are very friendly. Amenities can be found at level 1 lobby. A lot of stuff to take.

Competitively priced, good quality, and convenient location. This hotel is a couple of streets away from the main Nagoya station with access to JR, Meitetsu, subway, an Aonami lines, which should cover most of the major sights and coming from/going to the airport. It is also very close to the pick up point for many day tours. One minor issue is that if you approach from one side of the hotel, its name sign is obscured by a tree, which could make finding it difficult the first time you visit. There is actually another Via Inn a couple of streets away and if you pop in to ask them where this hotel is, they will help show you the way. Hotel room is about standard size for Japanese business hotels and clean. Air con takes a little while to start up but is certainly adequate and much appreciated during the hot summer. Staff are friendly and efficient when checking in and out. They are happy for you to leave your luggage there after checking out as long as you pick it up the same day. Tea bags and drip coffee are complimentary, with self-serve refills on the ground floor. Ice machine is on the second floor as are four washing machines, although these are very popular and usually fully utilised with a queue of people waiting too. Guest mix is mainly mainland Chinese and Hong Kongers with the occasional Japanese. There are many places to eat in the surrounding streets, including izakayas, Korean BBQ, Chinese, and many Indian/Nepali places. The restaurants/pubs can be quite lively at night with people spilling into the streets to eat/drink/chat with their friends. In addition to the big malls above the JR station, there is a Bic Camera and 100 yen store down the street from the hotel, many convenience stores, and a 24-hour supermarket and drugstore a short walk away.

Good Service Good location.

Very happy with this hotel, closeby the Stn and tons of food option (though its mostly izakaya) konbini etc., the area is very lively at night. The room is spacious, suitable for a couple but may be small for a family of 3, clean bathroom and the laundry room within the building is convenient and easy to use. Definitely value for money!
