Experience of the stay
I stayed at "Ibis Styles Nagoya" through HafH!
It is a major hotel chain by Accor, located an 8-minute walk from Nagoya Station.
[Cafe Lounge]
Ibis Styles Nagoya features an all-day dining cafe lounge called MARKET ST. on the first floor.
It serves as the breakfast venue and is also open to general customers outside breakfast hours. By the way, lunch with a salad buffet starts from 1,500 yen, which is popular for its good cost performance.
I had booked a room without meals, but I ordered a café au lait and a muffin separately. The coffee was Illy and delicious. The atmosphere was spacious and stylish, and it was super easy to work there with available power outlets!
[Room]
Upon entering the room, there was a large mirror, an open closet, and a double bed, which made it spacious for one person. The toilet and bath were separate, with a shower booth featuring an overhead shower, but no bathtub. The nightwear (pajamas) was a comfortable one-piece type.
The view from the room was of the expressway.
Since the highway was nearby, I thought the noise might be a concern, but it was well soundproofed, and I couldn't hear any traffic noise; it was really quiet.
There was no desk, just a small table and a counter by the bedside. As there wasn't much depth, working on a PC was a bit challenging.
On the night of my check-in, I planned to work in the café on the first floor, but it was reserved for a private party and I couldn’t use the café, which was a bit of a downside... If you plan to do some serious work in the café, it is recommended to check in advance with the hotel!
Overall, I think it’s a pretty good accommodation. It feels stylish, the café lounge is convenient, and it's recommended for both business trips and leisure!
Experiences during the trip
On the evening of the first day, I took a stroll through "Yanagibashi Central Market," and on the second day, I visited the renowned hitsumabushi restaurant "Ichibiki," which I had been curious about for a long time!
[Yanagibashi Central Market]
The Yanagibashi Central Market, a kitchen for the citizens of Nagoya, is just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. I have been to Nagoya several times, but I didn't know there was such a large market near the station until I stayed at Ibis Styles Nagoya.
The market is most lively around 5 AM to 10 AM, and I was surprised to find such a large market so close to the station. When I strolled in the evening, almost all the shops were closed, so if you want to explore the market, make sure to go early in the morning! Be cautious as they are closed on Sundays, holidays, and Wednesdays.
[Ichibiki]
The highly popular eel and hitsumabushi specialty restaurant "Ichibiki" is just a 4-minute walk from Ibis Styles Nagoya, making it extremely convenient.
Ichibiki was a place I had wanted to visit for a long time... I lined up from 8:40 AM and managed to get the last reservation ticket! By the way, my entrance time was at 2 PM.
Reservation tickets start being distributed around 9:20 AM, but if you want to ensure a meal, it's best to line up before 8:30 AM. As for the taste... the crispy grilled hitsumabushi was outstanding!
