Meitetsu New Grand Hotel is in Tsubaki-cho in Nakamura Ward, a very short walk from Nagoya Station, which makes it one of the handiest mid-priced bases for rail travellers. It is a compact hotel with 156 rooms in single, double, twin and triple layouts, and both smoking and non-smoking rooms are offered. Rooms have premium bedding, sound-insulated walls, air conditioning, free WiFi, a flat-screen television with satellite channels, a refrigerator, a desk and a bathroom with an electronic bidet toilet and a shower and tub. Guests can eat at Taikou, the Japanese restaurant on site, which serves lunch and dinner, and a buffet breakfast is available for an extra charge. A shop on site, a front-desk safe and luggage storage make short stays easy.
Location and getting around
Nagoya Station is about a one- to two-minute walk away, so the Shinkansen, JR lines and the subway are all close. Meitetsu Nagoya Station is about eight minutes on foot, the JR Central Towers about 11, Midland Square about 12, and the Takashimaya department store and the Winc Aichi convention centre about 13.
The Osu Shopping District is about two kilometres away, a short subway ride. Komaki Airport is about 30 minutes by car. The Port of Nagoya Aquarium and LEGOLAND Japan are both within reach from the station area, which makes the hotel a practical base for families as well as for business travellers.
Rooms and facilities
The premium bedding and sound-insulated walls are the useful details here, since a hotel this close to a major station could otherwise be noisy. Facilities include free WiFi, air conditioning, dry cleaning and laundry, a lift, meeting rooms and multilingual staff. The standout practical feature is free self-parking, which is rare near a major Japanese station, so it is worth asking about spaces if you are driving to Inuyama, the Ghibli Park area or the Kiso Valley. Early check-in and late check-out can be arranged for a fee, subject to availability.
Who it suits and what to know: travellers who care more about convenience and value than about a big hotel's spa or pool will find it ideal, particularly for a night before an early bullet train. Check-in starts at 2 PM, earlier than at many hotels, and check-out is at 11 AM.
Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. The hotel has no spa or gym, so choose one of the larger station towers if you want those. Rates change with the season, so check when you book, and reserve early for autumn weekends and long holidays, when the station area fills quickly.
