Hotel Forza Nagoya Sakae

The hotel's location is great, and the front desk staff were very enthusiastic and communicated well in English. The room was a bit small, but the bathroom and toilet were relatively spacious. The only minor drawback was that the washbasin was inside the room, and the sound of running water could easily disturb others sharing the room.

The location is great, right in the Sakae shopping district, close to Hisaya-odori subway station, and easily accessible from Matsuzakaya department store. There are plenty of shopping and dining options around the hotel. Sport Alpen is right downstairs, which is super convenient for shopping. The hotel breakfast is also quite good. There was a slight hiccup with Ctrip regarding children being charged 1000 JPY extra per day for breakfast, as the information on Ctrip was incorrect.

Though small, this hotel is fully equipped. The lobby offers a self-service coffee machine, washing machine, dryer, ice maker, microwave, and vending machines. The room thoughtfully provides two portable massage pillows. The location is excellent, quite close to Yabacho subway station and not far from Sakae station. Several popular shopping malls are nearby. It's also very close to Hanaoka Unagi, Gyubei yakiniku, Ichiran Ramen, convenience stores, and Don Quijote.
