    There was dry dog poo near my bed. I told reception, somebody came up and try to clean it by brushing it with a toothbrush and water. The stench became unbearable and I almost vomit. I had to request for another room, at first no other room was available. I heavily insisted and suddenly an empty room appeared. Gave me a room on the same floor. It was good on first sight, I didn't check properly because I was busy, then realised that there was a big booger stuck on the wall above the bed. I asked cleaning staff next day to clean it. Cleaner from Tibet was very kind, nice and helpfull. Staff from front desk knew about the incident and avoided talking to me or apologising or making any eye contact the rest of my stay.

    Toilet is clean, good impression, bed is comfortable. Good location (but avoid going street behind the building at night)

    The freezer or mini-fridge clicked and chirped all throughout the night and the room itself didn’t seem like it has been renovated in 10+ years.

    The reception staff have an attitude like they're doing you a favour and you're in the way. Although they can speak English they refuse to. The neighbours were very noisy and banged and shouted in the hall at 3am.

    The rooms are clean but that's a standard in Japan.

    The foul smell of smoke and burn that came from the neighbouring restaurant that tookover the entire room.. I had to open the door to the corridor and put my AC at max in order to get the smell out. It was unbreathable. I even contacted the front desk to make sure there wasn't a fire going on..

    Alight, now I will explain in great detail what's happening over there so you have a better understanding of the background of other negative reviews. After being there for myself, I have to say that they have to be substantiated and you should have every reason to believe them. Cleanliness. Being there was gave me a bizarre experience that I never really experienced before. This dissonance of a hotel being new but already run-down. Like everything is technically working and technologies are new, but it's so poorly maintained and cleaned that it might as well be a 20-years old place. Walls had scratches and marks everywhere from people dragging their luggage around. There was a terrible stain on the carpet right in front of the elevator. Shower curtain was moldy. Stains on shiny surfaces like mirrors. Felt very disrespectful. And speaking of disrespect, the icing on the cake: the staff. Specifically, the guy at the front desk whom we initially spoke with. It went like following. I reserved 2 single rooms for 2 people. After coming there, person behind the counter told me that he cannot find the reservation. He was a non-native Japanese speaker and I was speaking in Japanese, so fine, I wrote down my name in the registration sheet. He took that name and after a quick search said that he still cannot find the reservation. He asked me for a email from booking.com with a proof of reservation, which I didn't had with me (fair enough, my bad). While I was trying to retrieve the email, he found some reservation and showed me my name in reversed order (family and given name I mean). I paid for my room, but he was claiming that there's no reservation for a second room, which was for a different guest. Despite our asks to check more thoroughly, he was saying that there's no reservation. And this is where things began to feel like we were scammed. See above for the rest.

    Despite what others might say, conveniently located. Sakae is a center of Nagoya, so a lot of things to see and do around. Everything you really want to be clean (bed and bathroom) was clean. [booking.com does not allow long reviews. The following is a continuation of "What didn't you like?" section so read there first] He was saying that if my friend wants to stay right now, he could offer us a room for basically double the price of what I was reserving. Obviously, we didn't agreed to that (because booking.com's terms exists for a reason) and my friend had reserved the other hotel on the spot when suddenly the other person appeared who looked more professional and was acting like the first person's boss. After a quick search, he found the other reservation. They started talking that I had reserved 2 rooms and because now my friend does not want to stay in the other room, they will be treating this as a cancellation, therefor I will need to pay according to the cancellation policy specified at the time of booking (which is a 100% of room fee). They were basically threatening me that they will submit a claim to booking.com and this fee will be charged to my credit card associated with my booking.com account. I was saying that if they want to do this - absolutely fine with me, because I don't have an account over there and whatever negotiations there will be, I will be handling myself with booking.com. My friend was also saying that we will check with booking.com's cancellation policy and take things from there. Then the magic happened. They went together inside a room behind the check-in counter and we heard one person shouting at another. I can only guess what's happened, but after that a senior-looking person said that they will give us a "free" cancellation and that everything is settled.

    The coin dryer of the hotel, it doesnt dry our clothes even though we put it in for a long time like 3 hrs., Still our clothes were kinda wet

    The staffs were really nice and attentive. We have been accomodated thoroughly because of this we stayed a little longer.

    I informed the lady at the lobby that I will be checking out late around 12pm. She still came to the room knocking loudly around 10am. The cleaning staff talk so loud you can hear them laughing from the inside of the room waking you up around 8-9am.

    It was close to the city center.
