Skyward Asahi Tours

Non-smoking room smelled of smoke and had an ashtray near TV with sign stating smoking in bed is prohibited. Could hear trains during the night when sleeping. Breakfast was two rice ball bento with a bottle of green tea. Good if you need less that 500 calories. Check-in desk not occupied constantly and non-patrons can access lobby and guest floors easily through elevator or stairwell.

Overall can only rate it OK and not sure if would want to stay at this hotel if I do visit Nagoya again. Distance: ok ‘quite’ near to malls and Nagoya station, however if to drag luggage from station to hotel vice versa there is a challenge with the distance. Avoid underground walkway as is up and down stairs. Cleanliness: I was surprised on the hotel eco efforts, sure no cleaning to be done on daily and they will replace towels, provide the tea and bottled water. Do note the replaced new towels are placed inside plastic bag so not sure how this help with their eco claims. The ‘new’ towels are not that clean have spotted hair on the towels in the plastic bag 3 times during my 5 nights stay. Amenities are the very basic ones. Room: central aircon and super super hot, basically like no air ventilation. I was given a corner room facing the road and I must say sound proof very bad super noisy from the road traffic. The saving grace will be the staff at the reception, very helpful team.
