A homely hotel. A place that gives me a homely feel. Note: I stayed at the largest room with a balcony at the highest floor. So, my comment may be different from those who stay in smaller rooms at lower floors.

I stayed in the largest room with a balcony at the highest floor. The room is nice and the view is open with natural lighting. However, the downside, which is not the fault of the hotel, is that the room is east facing. So, the room is bright early in the morning right after sunrise. If you are a morning person, maybe it is ok. If you are not an early morning riser, make sure you wear eyemasks for sleeping. The room gets fairly warm in the morning too, given the sunshine. So, if you have the heat on, then leave the balcony door slightly opened before sleep so that you get fresh air in during morning, or you would get awakened because of increased temperature in the room.

Very comfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Staff assisted us with transferring our luggage to the next hotel. The location was good, only 15 min walk from Nagoya station. Close to convenience stores, a park across the road and some great eats nearby (strongly recommended the hungry moose - less than 5 minute walk away). The rooms are quite small. Which is pretty normal for Japan, but I think this was the smallest of all places we stayed. Still very comfortable. LOADS of books and a great little coffee shop downstairs in the hotel. Including English books.

The temperature in reception always felt very high, so we couldn’t linger there for very long without feeling a bit too hot. Otherwise everything was great!

For an affordable hotel, Lamp Light Books Hotel delivered such a great value. The room size was sufficient and the mattress was comfortable. The shower was modestly-sized but they had a premium brand shower head which I thoroughly enjoyed. True to its name, there are several books available to read in the lobby or take to your room. And lastly, probably my most favorite of all, was the Fuglen coffee at the hotel's cafe! They served top-notch coffee (as expected of Fuglen) and some delicious sliders. Location is good as it's right next to a small park and just a few minutes walk to the nearest metro.

I wish there more pillows. I only had 1 in my room and although it was soft, it was honestly pretty flat. Also more options to the sliders would be nice.

The theme of a books hotel is special and nice. The whole hosting agenda encurages and accommodates reading, which is lovely. The staff is attentive and warm. A beautiful park in front of the hotel, making walking around the area nicer. The hotel location is excellent, 3 minutes away from Fushima Station, close to multiple conbenient stores and restaurants. The laundry room downstairs is useful.

The room was tiny, breakfast is minimal, no coffee/ tea unless buying them in the cafeteria. Personally, I didn't like the Jazz music played in all public areas.

Loved the location, the amenities, and the helpful staff. Laundry worked like a charm as long as you don’t make the load too big. We missed the drinks because we were so tired after check in but think that’s a lovely touch. The view from the 9th floor is nice. Everything is clean.

The moderate room isn’t really an upgrade because the extra square footage isn’t usable. The configuration is cramped compared to the standard room. We had two moderates and one standard and all agreed that the standard was the nicer room. The window coverings are not room darkening so be prepared for the sun to wake you at 5 if you have a balcony room. The duvets are extra warm which makes it tricky to control temps in the summer. These are small critiques that prevent it from being perfect but they are very small. It was an exceptional stay.

Very nice hotel. It was the first hotel room in Japan that had decent lighting options (the name of this hotel is perfectly chosen). Also the walls were thicker than usually in Japanese Hotels, so that I could sleep without earplugs. Everything inside the room was carefully placed and it was very relaxing to sit on the little "couch". Even if the room was small, they were enough space for all my luggage to be placed in a tidy maner. The shower was great, too! The café/lounge area between the bookshelves was very cozy. The free welcome drink to try that area out was a nice touch. The staff was young and friendly. :)

The breakfast-burgers were sometimes not heated up properly.

We stayed just one night at LAMP LIGHT BOOKS HOTEL Nagoya to rest before our Ghibli Park visit, and it was absolutely worth it! The hotel is beautifully designed, calm, and perfect for book lovers. We were especially charmed by the book-themed concept, it made the stay feel thoughtful and inspiring. I’m even more motivated now to improve my Japanese so I can enjoy some of the books next time! We were able to walk to almost everywhere we wanted to see in the city from the hotel. Maybe it's because we love walking, but still, the location is truly great!

Nothing we dislike. Our only regret is staying just one night. Nothing more to add, it was that good.

It must have been that hotel that offers a unique experience with books. It’s a place where you can enjoy a hotel, books, and coffee. When you check in, you receive a free voucher for a drink at the cafe and you can borrow a book to take to your room. You just need to return it to the reception when you’re finished. I liked almost everything about this hotel, from the friendly staff to the convenient location. Our room had a nice view overlooking a park with a city view which looked quite pretty at night.

The only downside is that the room was quite small, making it a bit tight for two people and their luggage. However, considering Japan, this is a common issue.

Our second time staying here, great location only a 6min walk to the subway. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Definitely recommend getting the moderate double room as a couple so you can fit 2 suitcases. Bathroom layout it nice with a large shower. Love the concept with a cafe/book store on the ground floor, a relaxing vibe. Staff at reception are friendly and speak some English.

There is only 2 washing machine/dryers and the dry function just doesn't work. The machines are popular so hard to find them available. After 1 1/2 hours of drying my clothes were hot but still wet. I tried putting in less clothes but still no luck.

First thing to compliment is the shower, best I've ever used - good size, great pressure! The room layout was really efficient and made the space feel much bigger than it realistically was. The cafe downstairs made good coffees and had little snacks, all very reasonably priced (and we even received a complimentary drink voucher to use). Love the option to borrow a book to read during the stay, and the little reading nook in the room made it feel very cosy. The location was fairly central, some good food options nearby and plenty of attractions to check out. Transport was fairly easy to access, nearby station was ~5mins walk. Staff were very helpful when we were transporting luggage and happy to answer all the questions we had.

Only one pillow, very firm and no alternatives available.
