Great location - Walking distance from Nagoya station and the Nagoya Castle. Closest subway within a 5 minutes walk. Cafe on the first floor perfect to relax surrounded by books!

The lamp light hotel was a beautiful place with a very well-equipped room. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing area downstairs with great books to read. This place is a must for any book lover - for everyone, it is a great place to stay for your time in Nagoya.

Really good facilities, staff were extremely friendly and helpful, room was just what we needed and in a great location.

The washer and dryer machine is perhaps a little expensive.

Fantastically friendly staff. The shower is the best I've used in any hotel. Breakfast items are perhaps a little too cute to eat, but very delicious if you do eat them. Being able to borrow books from the library. There is a coin-operated washer and dryer available, which was a godsend for me.

Only negative was the dryer didn’t work - had my clothes in there for an hour and didn’t dry at all.

Lovely design, fresh, clean and great location.

Wish it could be bigger for the room but we know from the very first time that hotel in japan are usually small so it was OK .

Room was clean, facilities and staff are great!

The hotel - everything was fine. FYI: The weather was wicked hot and muggy in end of July/beginning of August.

Loved the cafe-style lobby with all the books and convenient place to plug in a laptop. Could hang out there anytime and the WiFi was great. Very convenient as sometime I needed to work from the hotel. Super helpful friendly staff. Used the laundry facilities. Close to subway station. Room was nice and super clean. Highly Recommend.

Room is a bit small, but not missing anything

Unique design (I mean, books!) and extreme functionality and cleanliness of the rooms. Good position, near to the train station, amazing coffee. Great spot also for catching up on some emails. Staff very helpful and allowed us to check in earlier. Would definitely recommend!

Sad to say the great design does not extend to blackout blinds. Rooms facing the park which is lovely also face the sunrise (4.30 am summer). Maybe bring an eyeshade. There is an ice machine and microwave on 2nd floor so rooms here might be noisy. Would be nice if some foreign language books were on a lower shelf for non Japanese guests as the ladder is a bit of a hazard. We used it anyway!

Stylish Jap-Scandi boutique hotel with cleverly designed rooms. Our moderate double overlooked the park, had enough storage for luggage and an armchair beside the.sliding doors of a tiny balcony. Beds comfy (one side against the wall) and bathroom was super clean. Coin laundry on ground floor. Bookshop/cafe creates a homely reception area. Staff could not do enough to make you feel welcome. Loved it!

Really cool boutique hotel with a nice cafe and library on the ground floor! Super sweet staff as well, and gorgeous room.

Stayed in July 2023

Little far from main areas and a longer walk from the train station Than we expected. I would still recommend this hotel because it was really nice!

Great lobby...bookstore Cafe. Modern room in a quiet area of Nagoya. Great value. Good restaurants in the area.

None, everything was excellent

The hotel is close to the subway station (maybe around 3-5 minute walk), which is one station away from the Main Nagoya Station. Thus, very convenient to travellers, even with luggage. The hotel has a cafe and a library at the lobby. Guests are allowed to borrow two (2) books while staying at the hotel. Rooms, which is common (I think) in Japan, is kind of small. Maybe, if you’re a backpacker or with small luggage, two (2) people can stay in one room. But it would be more convenient for one person to stay in a room. Rooms are also clean, well lit, with an air purifier, and a couch area. bathrooms are equipped with toiletries, i.e., shampoo, conditioner, handsoap, body wash. Other toiletries like toothbrush, hairbrush, etc. Are at the ground flr elevator. The hotel has nearby restaurants, Donki, convenient stores.

Everything! Beautiful hotel, cosy, clean, fun concept. I loved the little balcony.

The rooms are tiny. My husband and I got a bible room for ourselves and it felt really tight to move around in.

The property is whimsical, clean, new and super cute. We had 3 different rooms for our family of 5 (teens). The best room was the one with two twin beds.

The AC unit in our room was fairly loud when in operation, so much so that it was difficult to sleep with the AC on. Turning the AC unit off is also not an ideal solution, as the heat and humidity in Nagoya during the warmer months will make sleep equally difficult.

This hotel really shines thanks to its friendly staff and unique concept. The book cafe on the ground floor offers a great area to relax, work and/or read, which is especially welcome after a long day in the city. You can even take up to two books to your room, making this a particularly nice hotel for longer stays. The hotel itself is located in a quiet area close to Fushimi station and offers easy access to the more popular sightseeing/nightlife areas of Nagoya. Despite the fairly compact room size, the rooms were nicely designed, cozy and had a smart layout which offered sufficient space to handle even larger pieces of luggage. We also enjoyed the a small balcony, which is a rather rare in Japan. Another benefit are the two washing machines with built-in dryer on the ground floor, making this hotel an ideal stop on longer journeys.

great location - 1 minute walk from nearest subway station and 15 minutes from Nagoya station clean and spacious room, spacious shower helpful staff and great cafe

Stayed in June 2023

Ideal if the room for 2 pax is a little bigger. Nonetheless, it is still functional.

(1) Nice concept that one has access to a range of books to read and a cuppa beverage within reach. (2) Access to rooms has an added level of security. (3) New housekeeping practices.
