Hongo Station (Aichi) × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

We stayed here as a couple to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was an even more wonderful hotel than we expected, and our stay—from arrival to departure—was satisfying from start to finish. As someone originally from Nagoya, the TV Tower has been familiar to me since childhood, though it has been 25 years since I left the city. I was truly surprised and moved that such a beautiful hotel had been created here. From the warm welcome on arrival, every member of staff was attentive and kind, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. This time, we were upgraded to a larger room as a Diamond member benefit—what a lovely surprise! The welcome sweets were adorable and absolutely delicious. The view from the room was outstanding, of course. The art displayed throughout the hotel was also captivating, giving the entire property its own unique atmosphere. There were new discoveries everywhere we walked, and we thoroughly enjoyed the art tour as well. Searching for artworks together as a couple became a fun memory too (laugh). And the night view from the observation deck—an exclusive perk for guests—was truly breathtaking! We could take in all of Nagoya’s nightscape at once, making it an unforgettable moment. The hidden-door entrance leading up to the deck was incredibly stylish; its playful touch made us genuinely excited. Breakfast lived up to its reputation—delicious in every way—and we enjoyed a luxurious, happy morning while taking in the amazing view. My wife loved it too and said, “No.1 among all the hotels we’ve ever stayed at!” We’re truly happy to have found a hotel that satisfied both of us wholeheartedly. Thanks to everyone’s heartfelt hospitality, our 25th wedding anniversary became a wonderful memory we will never forget for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much to all of your staff for such an incredible experience. Whenever we visit Nagoya again, we would love to stay here again. We’re already looking forward to what kind of excitement awaits us next time!

This was my first stay here. The Onsen on the second floor was wonderful and easy to use at convenient hours, and breakfast was so delicious that I had seconds of rice. I also appreciated how close it is to Imaike Station.

I used this Accommodation when returning home so as not to burden my elderly parents. Even during the summer vacation period, we were able to stay in 4 Rooms for 4 people for just over JPY 30,000 (Point Discount). Despite the bargain price, my Room was properly cleaned and I had a comfortable stay. There was a solid desk and a couch with just the right height and firmness, plus an outlet and USB power right next to them, making it easy to eat a light meal or get some work done. However, my daughter’s Room had a sweaty smell coming from the air conditioner, so she turned it off and slept while enduring the heat. I was too busy to go check the situation. It also seemed that sports teams were staying there as well, and we could hear voices talking in the hallway. I found it pleasant, but it seemed tough for my daughter. It looks like their Room was next door… The large public bath on the first floor was clean, and my daughter used it twice—at night and in the morning. I was too tired to go. Breakfast was also very satisfying overall, and the serving area was generally kept clean. We took seats by the window at the back, but crumbs and spilled food were left on the rearmost seat area; since there were no cleaning cloths available, my daughter and husband moved to another table. I didn’t notice because I sat closer to the front. For that reason, I reduced one star in my category ratings. Next time I plan to apply for parking earlier as well, and would like to stay here again.

Since I mainly walk around the Sakae to Osu area, I initially chose Forza for its great location. I thought that as long as the location was good, everything else could be just decent. But once I stayed there, the Room was great, the bathroom was excellent, and the Facility was clean. That’s why Forza has become my base for my twice-a-year trips to Nagoya. To enjoy the local atmosphere, last time and this time I booked No Meals Included and went out for a morning set at local coffee shops, but it still doesn’t compare to Forza’s breakfast. Next time, I plan to book a stay with meals included.

About a 3-minute walk from Sakae Exit 1, with great access and a convenience store on the first floor, making it very convenient. The front desk staff are welcoming and hospitable. The housekeeping staff also greet you when you pass them, which makes for a pleasant stay. It’s not a new Hotel, but you can feel the team’s effort and pride, and I’m always satisfied. Thank you.

I stayed here for the first time, mainly as a stopover. With the discount on IKYU.com, it was an excellent value. The Facility is luxurious throughout, and the staff were outstanding. Before my stay, I was a bit concerned about access since it’s slightly far from the subway station, but it’s only a few minutes on foot to Hisaya-odori and you can enter the underground shopping area, so it didn’t feel inconvenient. For dining, I used Nadaman in the Hotel with my dinner companion’s arrangements and ordered à la carte; the service was attentive and the food was delicious. It was such a comfortable stay that I regret not choosing this Hotel sooner.

Due to work, I needed to park a truck about the length of a microbus. They allowed me to park in the space behind the Hotel. Before arriving, I called near the Hotel and they kindly gave me directions and waited for me at the entrance. Since it was a completely unfamiliar town, their attentive support made me feel at ease. It was a long trip from Niigata Prefecture, so I was relieved. When I asked because I couldn’t figure out how to operate the Room air conditioner, they explained it carefully. The Room is clean. Breakfast was delicious. At an affordable price, it’s a good Hotel where you can feel safe and rest comfortably.

This was my second stay, following my visit in June, and I was even more satisfied than last time—it feels worth coming to Nagoya just for this Accommodation. The Room’s ambiance and the staff’s calm professionalism truly embody the hospitality of a top-tier Hotel. Next time as well, I’d like to come to Nagoya just for this place.

We stayed here as a family of three during the summer holidays. I often visit the Chunichi Building, and the 7th-floor restaurants and observation terrace have long been favorite spots, so I wanted to stay at the Hotel as well. The view from the front desk was wonderful—you can overlook Sakae and even see as far as Nagoya. Depending on the Room, you may get that same view, but our Room faced the opposite side, with views toward landmarks such as Higashiyama Tower. Even so, it was still a great view and we enjoyed it fully. As it is a new Hotel, we were very satisfied with both the design and comfort. The Room and bathroom were spacious, allowing us to relax comfortably. We also appreciated how crafts showcasing artisan techniques from the Tokai and Hokuriku regions were incorporated throughout. In particular, I love Arimatsu shibori dyeing, so I was happy to see it used for items such as cushion covers in both the front desk area and our Room. My husband used the bar and said it was great. We felt this is an Accommodation we could confidently recommend to international guests as well. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

I chose this place because the breakfast looked appealing. The Room was on the top floor and close to the bath, so I was very satisfied. As the Reviews said, you need to go early for breakfast or you’ll have to wait in line, but the food was delicious. The bath was a bit disappointing due to the crowds, and the changing area was small, so we had to take turns getting changed.

This was my first time staying here. I had originally planned to visit Nagoya on different dates, but due to the recent heavy rain, my schedule was uncertain and I made a last-minute Reservation. Even so, the staff were wonderful, and since my Room was on the top floor, I wasn’t bothered by footsteps from above and had a very comfortable stay. I didn’t notice when booking, but there was also a large public bath, which helped me feel refreshed. Perhaps because it was during peak breakfast hours, some items were unavailable. Personally, I would have been happy if there had been yogurt. That said, considering the price with breakfast included, the quality was very high and I was satisfied with the meal. It was also great from a hygiene standpoint that rice could be dispensed automatically at the push of a button rather than being self-served. Although it was an unplanned Hotel booking, I’m glad I stayed here. I’d like to use it again next time I visit Nagoya.

I stayed here while attending a sports event at Aichi International Arena. The Room was clean, reasonably spacious, and comfortable. At first, it felt a bit unusual to have the sink set up right in front of the bed, but it turned out to be convenient. This time I chose a Plan without breakfast due to my schedule, but next time I’d like to stay with breakfast included. Great value for money and a Hotel I’d recommend!

The front desk, restaurant, and large public bath were clean, but the carpet in the guest room felt dirty. Even after watching a night game at Vantelin Dome, having a large public bath helped wash away the fatigue from cheering. The hitsumabushi at the breakfast buffet was delicious and a welcome highlight. I will visit again.

I had plans from the evening, so I chose this place because I could check in at 2:00 PM and it’s close to the station. When I arrived, there was construction next door and it’s in a busy downtown area, so I was worried about noise. However, there was no construction noise or nighttime disturbance, and I had a comfortable stay. Check-in was smooth with just one signature since the online reservation details were already reflected (some places still make you fill everything out by hand). If I come to Nagoya again, I’d like to stay here again.

Overall, I am satisfied with the Hotel. It would be even better if the large public bath could also be used the following morning. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety for a free service, and refills were provided promptly, which I appreciated.

I could tell the room interior had been renovated. However, there were only two proper hooks for hanging clothes, and the protruding metal fittings felt a bit unsafe. The bathroom unit was very small—perhaps to increase capacity in recent years—and it felt even smaller than the renovated bathroom units at Toyoko Inn.

I stayed for four nights to take a graduate school entrance exam. The Room was simple and compact, very clean, and amenities (except toothbrushes) were available at the front desk in a pick-and-choose system with a wide variety. The mouthwash was especially useful. My Room had no bathtub—shower only—but it was sufficient for the season. The sink had an island-style layout, which made the limited space feel more open. The bathroom area and the bed could be separated by a curtain, which was convenient when changing clothes. Also, the Hotel front desk staff were kind and very helpful—I truly appreciated their support. Breakfast was more substantial than I expected for this price. I saw many international guests as well. The location is great: close to the station, with a convenience store right in front. It’s easy to see why it’s fully booked—excellent value for money. This is a Hotel I’d like to use again. On the day of my exam, the Higashiyama Line stopped running, but I was able to get there via the Meijo Line. It seems that students staying near the Higashiyama Line didn’t make it in time for the start of the exam. Thanks to staying in Sakae, I was able to avoid that problem.

The lobby feels very pleasant with its spacious layout and high ceilings, but the carpets on each floor from the elevator to the Room are old and noticeably stained. It may be time to consider replacing the carpets.

I loved how clean it was, and how sustainable and waste-free everything felt overall. It also has great access to Ghibli Park, and I was able to unwind from the day’s travel in the large public bath with natural Onsen. The staff were also very kind and helpful.

The Hotel felt clean, and the staff were very helpful, so overall I had a comfortable stay. The bathroom ventilation was strong, and there was none of the unpleasant odor that can be common at other hotels. One concern was that the bidet nozzle in the Room looked discolored. When the large public bath was crowded, there were not enough washing stations or lockers in the changing area (it felt cramped), and some guests were waiting while undressed.
