Nagoya B's Hotel

“Nagoya's best in middle of City !!”

I love staying at this hotel because it is clean, affordable, and in middle of Nagoya City in Sakae. If you want a nice hotel that is near all of the action of shopping, foods, entertainment, near subways and bus depots, THIS is the hotel for you.

“Nice Soup for Breakfast, Massage Torture Chairs and Netflix on the TV”

Our stay at this hotel came just after Mount Fuji (both in this article and in reality). We were looking for a bit of comfort, spa facilities and to essentially just starfish all night after having climbed up and painfully made our way down an actual mountain. Station Shuttle The hotel offered a free shuttle from the Nagoya main train station. It’s still like a 10-minute walk to the stop, and in all fairness, it departed from where and when it had said. We, however, were not on it. We hadn’t realised just how far the stop was from the station, nor the need to leave the station and cross through a different shopping centre. To get to the stop, you leave Nagoya station, cross over the road and head to the right. Go through Midland Shopping Centre, and exit just to the left of Luis Vuitton. There are some concrete balls (modern art) on your left and the shuttle departs from the road facing you (16:20 and every 20 minutes). The heat unquestionably makes the process feel more complicated and longer than it probably is. We saw the shuttle bus depart just as we made it. Never mind. The Room The bed was fairly hard and wasn’t very comfortable. Being given just one pillow each was standard in Japan. We found spare pillows available from shelf on floor, but none of them were soft. Some were full of beans. No, I’m not joking. On the positive side, we were able to connect to Netflix on the TV and a small notice told us it would automatically sign you out at checkout. Super rare. Kevin found the given PJ's very comfy indeed. And I liked the door colour/design. I don’t know why, it just stood out to me. The Common Areas We visited the massage chairs which were on the spa floor of the hotel. We enquired about a massage but the only timeslot available was after midnight and this was too late for us. The massage chairs were an experience. From the doorway, you could turn left or right, and there were two rows of massage chairs. On the right side, the left-hand row of chairs were like torture devices: clamping and squeezing until your body pops. The instructions are naturally in Japanese and in code. Unless you own one/frequent regularly, I can’t see how anyone would understand how to operate. I selected several different options, strengths and hardnesses but nothing seemed to make a blind bit of difference. Not good. On the right row (still on the right side of the room), the chairs were bearable for the full 10-minute session. The Breakfast Breakfast was nice, although there wasn’t much choice. I absolutely adore soup and they served this creamy soup whose flavour I wasn't familiar. It was pretty nice (like a creamy miso or something?). They also served: curry pie which was essentially a sausage roll with curry powder, a pizza(?) bread roll with creaminess and tomato purée sauce inside, croissants, pain au chocolates and bread bun. Some yogurts were also available.

“The room is just for a sleep with value found in the facilities offered and convenient location.”

The nearest station is Fushimi station (the first stop from Nagoya station on Higashiyama line, with next stop being Sakae station), about 7mins on foot.

The nearest station is Fushimi station (the first stop from Nagoya station on Higashiyama line, with next stop being Sakae station), about 7mins on foot. The standard smoking room is simply a bed to sleep and has an air cleaner machine. I booked a night as I only needed a bed to sleep, however was satisfied with the facilities offered. The 2nd floor houses the relaxation facilities, which includes a small public bath area with sauna and jacuzzi, hot stone room, massage chairs, and compact gym which closes at 1am. The floor also has coin operated laundry services and drink vending machines. I made the most of the public bath area and free massage chairs in the late evening and morning before check out. This is where the stay holds value. The massage chairs were great and easy to use with four pre-programmed courses which run for about 20mins. The hotel also has convenient designated smoking areas, in the lobby and on the relaxation floor, unlike some hotels with none or an area outside of the hotel. I could start my day refreshed. My short stay here was good.

“Pleasant stay”

A bit farther from the Nagoya station than I thought (15-20 min), but it was pretty close to the Fushimi subway station.

A bit farther from the Nagoya station than I thought (15-20 min), but it was pretty close to the Fushimi subway station. Then found out that there is a free shuttle to the Nagoya station every half hour in the morning starting at 7, and from the station in the late afternoon and evening. Room is about standard size for budget hotels in Japan that are within the city. The buffet breakfast is adequate; service is reasonably good. Bed comfortable, room clean and staff generally helpful. Overall a pleasant stay
