APA Hotel Nagoya Ekimae Kita

We made a reservation for this hotel in September 2024. We confirmed it in October before leaving on our trip to Japan, we were getting ready to check out of our hotel in Hamamatsu and continue on our trip when we double checked our booking. Much to our shock and dismay. Our room was no longer available. This was such a bummer because my son was sick and I don’t speak Japanese. He does and he was feeling very unwell. We were extremely fortunate that the hotel that we were at in hamamatsu agreed to let us stay an additional three nights or we would’ve been trying to search for a place to stay. Have you ever done that when you’re sick? I hope not. Ever tried to do that when you don’t speak the language? Good luck we cannot recommend this hotel. I would highly suggest that you make a reservation someplace where they will take your money so you have a place to stay, especially when traveling in a foreign country.

The hotel is quite near to the Nagoya Train Station about 10-minute walk via the Taiko-dori Exit. It is new, has friendly staff and the toiletries provided so complete that we didn't have to use our own. The comfort of guests is their top priority. We stayed two nights and we enjoyed our stay. We also reserved their buffet breakfast in Peter Cole Irish Pub which was quite good. They had a good selection of Japanese cuisine which we enjoyed. Thumbs up for T. Kurukawa, from the front office who was so ever helpful and patient with us when we checked in on the 19th November, 2024. Overall, a good experience with APA Hotel and we will definitely book APA Hotels for our next trip to Japan.
