Hotel Route Inn Nagoya Higashi Betsuin

A room for single bed is very tight. It looks like the building itself is not new but it is very clean.

Close to the local train station and about 10 minuets walk to the main shopping strip. Friendly and helpful staff and lots of options for breakfast. Room was a bit on the small side but was enough for a few days with two people.

The hotel itself is adequate, the room is clean and provided the basic standards of what you need. However, this hotel is located in the residential area, so it's away from everything. It's 8 min walk from the nearest subway station and there aren't many restaurants around, no bars and no late night eateries. I would rather stay at elsewhere that has more late night restaurants and bars options. However, they did included free breakfast for every night that I stayed and the breakfast buffet was pretty good and have lots of options. The public bath has men and women section, although it's small, it does its job and many of my visits, there hardly anyone there. The public bath could fit about 8 people max for the men's side so it was adquate but much appreciated. One drawback though, it's early April so Nagoya starts to warm up, to inform the guests that the ventilation is central which means they are still pumping central heating is a bit of a joke. You need individual ventilation system, many nights, I will open the window to let fresh air in but also means bugs or mosquitos can fly in and if it rains, you may potentially let water in and the noise to the road could be an issue. Other than that, for the price of the hotel, it was good value and it's safe, clean and does provide the basic standards and needs.

Excellent Breakfast Buffet and Big Bath made so relaxed ! I walked 2 stations (1.5?) for my daily walks and there are more shopping etc. A lot of eating place near hotels and hotels dinner place has a lot of reasonable meals. First night I had drinks set at the hotel's restaurant and had a good rest and next morning had a bath from 5am. Actually big bath opens until 2am. Hotel located on the Meijyou subwayline, so I went the Nagoya port and Nagoya Aquarium. It's really convenient.
