New Shochikubai Hotel

I seldom leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience here. The hostel is quite old and not well-maintained—likely the dirtiest I’ve encountered in Japan (and I’ve stayed in many). I found a clump of hair right in the middle of my room, which was quite off-putting—regretfully, I didn’t take a picture. The entire hostel could benefit from renovation. The shared bathrooms didn’t feel clean enough to be comfortable. Additionally, please note that check-out is at 9 AM, and the staff might rush you out. While I was preparing to leave and sitting in my room checking Google Maps, someone tried to open my door. When I opened it, the cleaning staff said, "Check-out!" I checked the time—it was 8:55 AM. If I hadn’t been so busy during my business trip, I would have looked for alternative accommodation. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again. On the positive side, the location is convenient, about a 10-minute walk from Nagoya Station. They provide towels, disposable slippers, and toothbrush/toothpaste sets. The price is quite affordable for this area, but unfortunately, cleanliness and customer-friendly service don’t seem to be part of the deal.

Nice stuff and clean.
