“Good hotel for its class”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

My choice for staying in Nagoya came down to the Chisun or the "b", and I believe I made the right choice with the latter. A friend stayed at the Chisun and said it was too noisy, but we had no such trouble at the "b".

The room at the "b" was clean, and we may have lucked out with a top floor corner, as it came with a view and may have been more spacious than others (judging by other reviews on this site). The location is great, quite close to Sakae Station's underground mall area, and only a few minutes from Nagoya Station on the subway.

The only negative for me was the shower pressure and inconsistent water heat. This may be partially due to being on an upper floor, but I missed the usual hotel-stay pleasure of relaxing under a hot shower--too busy adjusting the temperature.

The breakfast buffet was nothing special, but it filled me up and is worth it if you just want fuel for wandering.

Thank you for your generous comment on the b nagoya.

I was disappointed to hear however about our shower. When Group guests happen to use showers at the same timing, the water pressure and temperature of showers might be affected and temporarily become unstable. I take this opportunity and check showers of all rooms.

Thank you again for your time for the precious review and we look forward to your next stay.

“very small room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

the rooms and bathrooms are very small. Good location 5 min walk from EXIT 13 of Sakae station, 2 stations from Nagoya station. It costs around 1200 yen to the hotel from Nagoya ST. There are many Department stores on the other side of the street and many small, good restaurants behind the hotels. The staff are extremely helpful and courteous.

Thank you for staying at the b nagoya.

Good location is one of our strength and I was delighted to hear that the quality of our staff's service exceeded your expectation.

As for room size, we offer various sizes of rooms from 14m2 to 22m2. Superior Double and Superior Twin rooms are larger rooms so may I recommend you to try these rooms next time.

We look forward to your next visit to Nagoya.

“Neat and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

The location is very convenient: several department stores are just on the opposite side of the park and 2 blocks from the subway. We arrived by train and took taxi (10 minutes ride) from the station but went back using the subway. Overall I quite enjoyed Nagoya after spending some time in the very touristic Kyoto (we were in Japan during the Sakura season).

The city feels authentic and lively, but it's still relatively compact compared to for example Tokyo.

The hotel itself is pretty standard and it aimed towards business travelers and people who don't aim to spend a lot of time in the hotel. The rooms are quite small and plain. Receptionists spoke pretty fluent English and were very helpful (for example recommended a very good and affordable sushi place nearby).

The lobby was actually quite nice and they offer complimentary drinks and Wi-Fi there. Breakfast was also a positive surprise with decent Japanese and European offering.
We paid around 82 EUR per night and think it was definitely worth it.

“Small rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

I stayed here end of Sep/early Oct and like many of you I have been reading tripadvisor reviews before going to the hotel to understand what I would be expecting. Certain photos posted left me the impression that the rooms were relatively spacious. However upon arrival, we were given a very compact (Tokyo?) sized hotel room where there is only room to walk and the two beds put together against the wall.

If you're planning to bring a big suitcase for your trip perhaps you may need to request/book a bigger room.

Other than that, the staff were courteous. Although most of their appeared to speak acceptable fluency of English, they might have had trouble interpreting our request and changed our room with our belongings moved without us being informed (a different working cultures I suppose?). It wasn't a big deal for us nor were we upset, but it certainly surprised us a little.

The location is good. It's opposite to many department stores and near to some of the main shopping places and just 2 stops to Nagoya Station. There is a convenience store just downstairs so you will never be starved (we were there during a typhoon!)

Will I stay again? Hmm... gotta think that through.

Room Tip: Non-smokers, make sure you state that you want a non-smoking room.

Thank you for the time to review the b nagoya.

Our hotel offers 3 types - single, double and twin rooms. One of our hotel's concept is to provide our customers a bed room for comfortable and relaxing sleep, so the size of the bed(s) in guest rooms are all semi-double (W1200mm) or larger ones. This arrangement may result in smaller free area in a room. The sizes of the rooms are on our HP. Please refer to this information for your reference. We would appreciate your understanding. Thank you.

As for the room change arrangement, I sincerely apologize for miscommunication by our staff. We do inform our house guests in advance if our staff is to move their luggage. I have advised all staff to ensure this would not happen again.

Thank you again for your precious comment.

“Great location, laundry room available.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

Walking distance of Metro station this business hotel is in a good location. The staff were very helpful with good English. Room very small but clean. The laundry room is very useful if you are on a long trip. The washer/driers can be programmed for a 4 hour cycle allowing you to see the sights of Nagoya. We used the luggage forwarding service throughout Japan, £12 for one medium suitcase, very useful.
