I think it took a little over 5 minutes from Sakae station. The room was compact but comfortable. It was very clean and had a proper desk at which I could do some work. The big shared bath was a good alternative to the small bath in the room. I was lucky my room was on the same floor as the bath, just a couple of doors down. If you wanted to you could put on the hotel pyjama (room wear) to the bath. The cleaning staff and catering staff were very courteous which is always nice.||The free self-service breakfast was enjoyable--in addition to the standard Japanese dishes you could take as much as you want of the Japanese-style macaroni salad and potato salad.

We will look for the AB Hotel Nagoya next time we...

There are 2 convenience stores nearby, one on the same block. My room was small but clean with free wifi and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was included and was excellent with wide range of options, English/European breads and pastries with Japanese standard dishes – fish, miso soup, rice, mountain greens, mini sausages, meatballs… tea, coffee, OJ…. There are some chain restaurants close by including a Yamachan izakaya with its great chicken wings. There are plenty of other eating options in Sakae. Didn't get a chance to use the hotel baths but saw plenty of people in the...
