Achi Vacations from $2,091

We arrived at 14:00 and we were told there is a strict check-in at 15:00. We really did not understand why as the room was ready. We thought that it did not make sense as all other hotels are not that strict with that and we were told to come back an hour later without explanation. There is also a strict 10:00 check out - we were out at 10:05 - that was fine, but the Chinese guests that were out at 10:15 got scolded really bad by the clerk so careful about that too. The room cleaning did not happen during the 2 nights we were there. I'm fine with making the dishes, but they don't provide any drying rack so I had to put the wet dishes on the counter putting water everywhere. They should learn a thing or 2 about how and what the Mimaru franchise provides: they provide the right amenities for that. And it could change how the guests view their stay at their hotel. Overall size is good for family, it is quiet and we got a good rest.

I recommend Genjikoh for the amazing Japanese experience of enjoying the open bath overlooking the ocean and the various activities in the hotel such as the scent workshop. We booked a room for 5 and it was spacious and was pleasantly surprised it has 2 toilets. The sea view was breathtaking. We don’t book the meals as we don’t eat raw food but we had difficulty finding a good eatery outside as there are few amenities nearby and they close early. This place is great for those who drive but inaccessible otherwise even though the hotel has a shuttle bus. We are glad we had a rental car and could enjoy this great ryokan experience!

The best hotel in Nagoya!

This hotel was amazing! Bright, modern, full of life. The hallways and rooms on each floor are themed to add to the fun. And a disco in the elevators every time….so much fun! Staff were excellent, the place is very clean and tidy. Buffet breakfasts and dinners were awesome. We loved our stay, the hotel paired with a day at Legoland is a perfect match!
