Hello🖐️🖐️Today I’d like to introduce youto the Ibis Styles Nagoya Hotel, where I stayed for the first night on my last trip to Nagoya .The hotel is operated by Accor, a global hotel group, and I ‘ddescribe itas a bit more sophisticated and hip than the usual Ibis brand. I chose it because of its location, within walking distance of Nagoya Station, and I’ll give you a detailed review of the hotel’s atmosphere and my stay in a standard twin room.
About ibis Styles Nagoya Hotel
Nagoya Airport is accessible from Nagoya Station by Meitetsu train. There are a number of different types of trains, ranging from slow, limited express, and mu sky, but we purchased the ticket below and took the semi-express train, which took about 40 minutes to arrive at Nagoya Station. It would be nice to take the fastest train on time, but it’s hard to predict the time until you arrive at the airport, go through immigration, and board the train.

I arrived at Nagoya Station and walked to the hotel with my luggage, which didn’t take long. It was December, so the area around Nagoya Station was well lit up and there were lots of things to see at night👍 Note the green Ibis Styles hotel marker in the photo to help you find the hotel.
There are two Accor hotels in Nagoya : ibis Styles and Mercure Hotels. In the case of Ibis Styles Nagoya , where I stayed this time, you can usually book a room in the low 100,000s, but when I stayed, it was over 400,000 won because it was a Saturday in December. So I booked it using the Stay Plus I had with my Accor Plus membership.
As an Ibis hotel, the lobby was quite small, but the hotel still has a lot of new hotel feelings because it has just opened, and it was good because it was stylish and sensual interior👍 It felt like Marriott’s Moxy hotel brand,
It ‘seasy to check out by simply dropping your room key into the express checkout box in front of the check-in desk , and there‘s an amenity bar next to it where you can take whatever amenities you need .
The hotel has one restaurant where you can have breakfast and other things. I didn’t take advantage of the breakfast, but as an Accor Gold member, I was able to get a welcome drink. While many places will mix you a drink, here they simply gave me a choice of two alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from a simple display.
After checking in, the way to the elevator to go to the room was sensible and pretty👍 The elevator is only accessible by swiping your room key, so they pay attention to security. The hotel has a total of 13 floors, and except for the restaurant, there are no facilities such as coin laundry or gym, which was a bit disappointing. If you need such facilities, I recommend booking a local business hotel in Japan.

About Standard Twin Room
The hotel has only two room types, the standardone-bed and the standard two-bed. They are almost identical in size, with the one-bedroom measuring 19 square meters and the two-bedroom measuring 20 square meters. I was assigned to the 11th floor, which is probably because of my Accor Gold benefits.
The rooms are very similar to Marriott’s Fairfield Hotel, with a fairly simple and spacious layout for a business hotel👍 and the sink is located outside the room.
I don’t know if this is an Accor Gold member benefit or for all guests, but there were complimentary snacks and two glass bottles of water.
The room was overall neat and clean, but I felt that the room size was a bit smaller than I expected, even though it said 20m2. It’s a twin-bedded room, but with 2 beds attached, so I think it would be great for families or couples.
The front window is quite large from the bottom to the top, so it felt open and not stuffy👍 The windows don’t open separately, so it’s a shame that you can’t have natural ventilation, and there is a part that you can hear some road noise at night, but we didn’t feel uncomfortable .
The hotel checks in at 2pm and out by 11am. Usually these days, check-in is at 3pm, which is an hour earlier. For breakfast, it’s 2,200 yen if you book in advance, and 2,500 yen if you don’t : )
The restrooms are small, but they have separate sinks, toilets, and showers. It’s more convenient compared to a typical Japanese business hotel where the rooms are in units or all in one place.
Final Thoughts
Today I shared my review of my stay at the Ibis Styles Nagoya Hotel Standard Twin Room, whichisa great placeto stayin Nagoya . I loved the hotel’s close proximity to Nagoya Station and its stylish and sophisticated design, but I was disappointed that it didn’t have any amenities and could be a bit pricey depending on the season. I hope my review will be helpful to anyone looking for a hotel in Nagoya : )
