I liked the proximity to Fujigaoka Station. I wanted to visit the Ghibli Park so this place was a perfect in-between. It's at the end of the Higashiyama Line from Nagoya Station. To get to Ghibli you take the Limino line from Fujigaoka Stn and it takes just over 40 minutes of total travel (walking plus train). The room is really spacious and I liked the big desk with footrest in front of the TV. The bathroom had a bathtub and although small it has everything you need. There's a Lawson's kombini just outside the hotel that's 24-hour so if you feel hungry late at night it's very quick to go and buy some food. Everything was clean and tidy as well. Outside the lift/ elevator at each floor there's a microwave oven that anyone can use to heat up your food.

Due to its popularity, using the lifts / elevators in the morning around 7:00 - 8:00 can take a while because there's only two lifts, and if you're at a lower floor like me (floor no. 4) it will probably be full once it reaches you with all the people checking out at the same time from the higher floors. I would advise pressing 'Up' and going into the lift first and then wait until it goes all the way up (12th floor is the highest) then down to the lobby.

It was close to the train station and the train line to Ghibli Park. We absolutely loved the fact that the hotel’s decor was in the spirit of the Ghibli theme and we enjoyed finding different characters throughout the hotel. It made the whole trip this little bit more magical. The breakfast menu was varied and delicious. Everyone found something that they liked. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

We couldn’t use the Onsen since 3 people out of our 4 had tattoos. It was very disappointing that we couldn’t enjoy this experience. Majority of foreign tourists have some sort of tattoo so it’s sad that we can’t participate in cultural experience just because of artistic expression.

I was excited to book this brand new hotel for our reservation at Ghibli Park. The location is perfection, and Fujigaoka is a really nice area outside of Nagoya city. That said, the beds are as hard as rocks!!! After long days at the park and walking, whew, they were .. not great. Of course the rooms will be small, this is a standard Japanese hotel. It is what it is. The hotel did allow us to drop our bags off before check-in, so that was appreciated. The bathrooms were well equipped also. I would stay here again to visit Ghibli Park, but I wouldn’t be super thrilled about sleeping there again.

Great, varied breakfast. Great facilities. Full range of ammenities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderfully positioned near the line that takes you straight to Ghibli Park and another train line m. Very convenient. Our son got very sick and they assisted us so well. The lovely Filipino staff member called Maribik was so wonderful translating and helping us with our son’s medical needs. She was so caring and professional and a real asset to the team here at Route Inn Grand Nagoya Thank you for everything!

came with no expectations, but the cleanliness, complimentary onsen and location of this hotel made me grow to like my stay so much more after i've checked in! the friendly staffs were so attentive and helpful too, they tried their best to help and i was surprised that they are able to understand english well. appreciate them so much! thank you for the wonderful stay :)

Great location close to the train/subway station. Plenty of shops and restaurants around. Great starting point for going to the Toyota museum. Nagoya attractions are maybe half an hour away by subway.

I wanted to get some sleep and placed the no cleaning/do not disturb sign on the door. Staff called me on the phone at 10am to confirm I don't want housekeeping which kind of defeats the purpose.

Everything was great during my stay. They have an Onsen which was a relaxing experience, I slept in, which means the place was very comfortable and quiet since I have light sleep. Staff was friendly and informative. It’s close to the bus station to go to Ghibli park, just a short walk which was convenient for the purpose of my trip.

Everything, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was enough for the night and had all the facilities that I needed, it also has a public bath, where you can soak your body.

Nothing, it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Clean and neat rooms and facilities, extremely friendly and polite staff! Super close to a subway station and amazing onsens on site !!

Beds are a little firm but still comfy

Breakfast was amazing, although filter coffee would have been even better

The bed was too hard
