ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Grand Court Nagoya by IHG
Great spacious room with a view. Room was very clean. The convenience of having the hotel so close to the train station was a top tier for me, including all the shopping and restaurants.

Toyoko Inn Nagoya Kanayama
The hotel is a bit far from the subway but they offer free shuttle up to 1030ish pm. The room was clean but follow eco something where they clean your room on the 3rd day of your stay. They change towels every day

Nikko Style Nagoya
Habitación sencilla, baño pequeño pero todo muy limpio y con lo necesario. Buenas camas. La recepción es pequeña, personal disponible. Desayuno en un restorán que se hace algo pequeño para la cantidad de gente y me pareció que pocas opciones. No recuerdo el valor del desayuno, talvez estaba bien ...
