“Comfortable hotel ..... great location!”

Arriving in Nagoya by JR train from Matsumoto and departing by Meitetsu train to Chubu Centrair International Airport 2-days later, my selection of a hotel close-by Nagoya Station seemed sensible. It was only when I arrived and it rained incessantly for 2-days (in July!!), that I realised what a fortunate choice I had made. The Royal Park Canvas is no more than 3 blocks from Nagoya Station and the impressive malls housed within the JR Towers there. Leaving the Station on the 'Sakadori Side' you can escape the weather by walking the Unimall underground mall (which follows the route of the Sakuradori Line Subway and houses many smaller shops as well as restaurants and coffee shops). At Exit 10 of Unimall, the staircase is immediately adjacent to the hotel entrance. I had a good-sized room for my comfortable 2-night stay, but my most memorable anecdote concerns the Family Mart attached to the hotel on the ground floor. Heading out for a days sightseeing with it raining heavily, I tried to buy an umbrella in the store. When I declined the only umbrella remaining (as being too childlike and far too pink!), the Store Clerk gave me his own personal umbrella! He gifted me his own umbrella .... now, doesn't that just encapsulate the courtesy and generosity of a country in a single simple gesture?

“Pleasant Surprise”

Convenient location close to train station - easy to find - helpful staff - room was modest but had everything you need - clean & relaxing - breakfast wasn’t spectacular, but adequate - family mart on ground level was handy - would definitely stay here again

“Good Location”

Connected to Nagoya Station via Unimall, although the exit is serviced by only stairs, so it would probably be better to walk above ground if coming with luggages. We got a Corner Deluxe Twin, but it still felt a little cramped. The breakfast spread is typical of breakfast buffets, but the rest... more

We got a Corner Deluxe Twin, but it still felt a little cramped. The breakfast spread is typical of breakfast buffets, but the restaurant does get a little crowded. They do provide boxes to pack the food to go if you prefer.

Found a great deal to stay at this hotel…very near Nagoya station.Easily accessible from exit 10 of the UNIMALL underground shopping street that connects Nagoya station to KOKUSAI Center (but yes as other reviewers have mentioned probably better to avoid this if you have suitcases as you have to go up 2 sets of steps) Reception is on the 2nd floor…you can go through Family Mart and out of a connecting door to get to the lifts…or walk a few steps around to the left of the Family Mart entrance to enter. Staff were all very pleasant and friendly. Wanted a quiet room on a higher floor if possible.Unfortunately the rooms that look onto the Main Street at the front of the hotel look directly over a huge demolition site.From Monday - Saturday (?) during working hours these rooms should be avoided if you re looking for something quiet (but not a problem noise-wise at other times…if you don’t mind the eye-sore) The big bath on the 3rd floor is clean…but it’s difficult to know well when is a good time to visit as the TV update on the spa status said that the baths were unoccupied but by the time we got to the baths all of the lockers were occupied and it’s difficult to enforce social-distancing…this might be a result of the Nagoya womens marathon being in town?! There s a free coffee machine in the lobby on the 2nd floor…and the food coupons give a number of options for either breakfast…a set lunch plate or some other snack type options later in the day. The breakfast selection was very limited (no cereal…fruit or yoghurt)…but the quality of what was offered was good (the cereal bread…egg salad…minestrone soup…French toast and chicken stew)Also there s a good coffee machine offering caffe latte and cappuccino if that what you prefer. All in all the deal was excellent and would recommend for people who want to be near the station….just bear the room situation at the present time in mind.
