This is my second time staying in the Lamp Light Books Hotel Nagoya. It is conveniently located close to a station, which easily accessible from Nagoya station. The hotel is very inviting and the cafe attached to the hotel is nice too. I had a matcha latte there, which was delicious.

The bathroom is one of the best that I've experienced in hotels in Japan. It's more modern, with a large shower. The room is comfortable, and has a chair that you can sit on to relax and read as well, which is a rarity in similar hotels.

The only real downside to this hotel in comparison to other hotels I have stayed in are that the room lacks enough hooks to hang belongings and clothes. The amount of clothes hangers provided is not enough, and the room could really benefit from hooks for things like towels, coats etc.

I LOVED this hotel. It very much my vibe. I like that it was so conveniently located near a train station, the staff were always so friendly and helpful, the breakfast was also very delicious. The staff was so accommodating to allow me to get my breakfast early in the morning before my marathon. I really appreciated that flexibility. The room itself was so so cozy. I love the thoughtfulness of the reading chair and the ability to rent out books while we stayed. Each floor only had a few rooms, so it made it feel very private. I had a great time and WHEN I come back for the marathon I would absolutely bring all of my friends. Thank you for a great stay!

The hotel was really clean and quiet. My room was small but comfortable.

The staff were friendly and always tried to help and answer any questions that I had. The location is perfect - a two minute walk from Fushimi subway station.

The hotel charges a lot (1000 yen per hour) for late check out, so I checked out in the morning, but then I ran a marathon and obviously needed to shower after. But they were able to direct me to a nearby onsen at another hotel, for a reasonable cost.

The only area need to improve is the bath amenities. Most of the hotel in Japan have all the necessity well-in-place in the room or available from the front desk. In additions, because of the book shop at the G/F, there are always non-guests on the G/F with the laundry machine. In the view of hotel guests, it is not in a high privacy to do the laundry on G/F.

The shower stall was modern and spacious.

There was no space to keep toiletries in the bathroom. No cabinet, counter space, of shelves.

Excellent \"business hotel\" with new rooms

I was extremely impressed by the appearance of this hotel. The price wasn't much more than a traditional \"business hotel\" but was so much more comfortable than any other hotel I've stayed at on previous business trips in Japan. The first floor is a book store/cafe, which gives a nice feeling upon entering. There are only a few rooms per floor, but the size is actually somewhat generous by Japanese standards. The room smelled clean and new, and the bathroom was very nice, NOT the standard modular design used in many business hotels. The shower had both waterfall overhead style as well as hand-held, and the high level Japanese toilet is a necessity. The breakfast was served at the cafe, and was really great; I recommend the smoked salmon.

If I return to Nagoya, I would be willing to go out of my way to stay here again. Highly recommended.
