All rooms at the Hilton Nagoya are non-smoking rooms and they come either with queen-sized, king-sized, or twin beds. There are family rooms available as well.
Guest Reviews
The location was the main concern of hotel guests, as the hotel is not directly at Nagoya Station and requires a 450-meter walk to the closest subway and a one station subway ride to Nagoya Station.
There is a shuttle bus to Nagoya Station but many guests complained it doesn’t leave often enough and is often fully booked in advance.
Another complaint is the quality of the breakfast buffet since it is described as not as good as expected. But this seems a subjective matter.
For a really unique experience book the Japanese suite. This stylish room is decorated in an authentic Japanese style with Tatami-mat flooring and Futon beds as well as a seating area typical for Japanese hotel rooms.

The main complaint of travelers was the location since the hotel is a 13-minute walk from Nagoya’s main station. The restaurants, cafes and other shopping opportunities are all located close to Nagoya Station and therefore it is inconvenient to find food close to the station or when arriving with big suitcases.
Since the hotel is located on the 31st floor and upwards the views from each room are spectacular. The proximity to Nagoya Station where many of the highrise buildings are located and being in the center of the city makes this an amazing and unforgettable feature.
