Hotel MyStays Nagoya Sakae is a practical, good-value hotel in the Higashi-Sakura part of Naka Ward, on the eastern edge of the Sakae district. It has 270 rooms, a restaurant, a front desk that is staffed around the clock and the basic comforts that matter on a city break: free WiFi, a bidet toilet, a refrigerator and a desk in each room. It is not a luxury address, and it does not try to be one. What it offers is a clean bed within walking distance of Oasis 21, the Aichi Arts Center and the Osu shopping district, at a price that leaves more of the budget for the local food Nagoya is known for, from miso katsu to hitsumabushi.
Location and getting around
The nearest stations are Shin-sakaemachi, about seven minutes on foot, Sakae, about eight, and Sakaemachi, about nine. Oasis 21 and the Aichi Arts Center are each around seven minutes away, the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art is also about seven, and the Chubu Electric MIRAI Tower is roughly ten minutes on foot.
The Osu shopping district, with its covered arcades, vintage shops and street food, is about thirteen minutes away. Chubu Centrair International Airport is about 48 minutes by car, though most travellers take the train and a short walk, so check the route when you book.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms have air conditioning and heating, a safe, an electronic bidet toilet, a shower and tub combination, free toiletries, a high-definition television, a refrigerator and a desk. The hotel has a restaurant serving a buffet breakfast for an extra charge, laundry and dry cleaning, an elevator, luggage storage, a vending machine and a banquet hall.
Several casual restaurants, a coffee shop and a bar are within a few minutes on foot, so you can eat well without planning ahead. Parking is not listed, so plan to arrive by train or taxi rather than by car.
Who it suits and what to know: it works for solo travelers, couples and friends who plan to spend most of the day out. Check-in is from 2 PM and late arrivals are accepted during limited hours, which suits a flight or a bullet train that runs behind. Check-out is at 11 AM.
Pets are not allowed, apart from service animals, and some room rates include free cancellation, so look at the terms when you book. If you want a larger hotel with a spa or a pool, look at the station towers or the Hilton instead. For a short, sensible stay near Sakae, this is an easy choice.
