APA Hotel Nagoya Ekimae Minami

It was a comfortable stay. The tap water was safe for drinking. The hot water kettle had a seal so that boiling water would not spill out. The chair had wheels, which made it easy to use on the carpeted floor. There was a short selection of movies and TV shows, all with Japanese subtitles and a few with English. There was enough space to open standard airplane carryon-sized bags. The water stayed warm in the bathtub for a long time, so I was able to enjoy a good soak. However, it was short, so I could not stretch out fully. Although I could hear the traffic signal outside, I slept quite well. The light buttons near the bed were intuitive and easy to use. The room got dry since I used heating throughout the night, so I was glad I could slightly open the window for ventilation. The breakfast was filling and delicious, but may not be suitable to those who do not have a palate for Japanese food. There is a convenience store and a few good restaurants within walking distance.

Convenient location on a fairly quiet street. Toyota Car-rental is very close to the hotel making for easy pick-up. There is a large Family Mart convenient store located just opposite the road. Not far walk from Nagoya Shinkansen station too. Several anime related stores located behind the hotel. Unusually larger room for a business hotel. The room was comfortable with under-bed storage for suitcases. The chair has roller wheels which is a nice touch for not being an obstacle. Recycle bins for plastics located in room. Wifi was fast and stable. Free APA-TV movies were available during our visit. Unsure if this is a promotional period or permanent. Heated toilet seat and heaps of bathroom amenities like toothbrushes, combs, disposable razor etc. Light switches built into bed headboard for convenient reach. Plenty of hooks located on the walls for hanging coats and jackets. Friendly staff that speak English. Coin laundry machines at the ground floor and staff always has change for notes into coins.

Just what I needed for a short stay. APA single rooms are just that - good for one person. MAYBE two if you're okay sharing close quarters. Some find small spaces comfy. I have no complaints staying at APA hotels. Standardized. Reliable. Clean. Nothing fancy but I don't need anything fancy.

Standard APA hotel. Beds are good, showers/bath are good, small rooms but suitcase fits under the bed which helps. But price reflects, good choice for business and solo traveling. Dimmable light switches and controls on the bed are great.

Very good location near the train station, a quiet area but many convenience stores/restaurants nearby, polite staff
