Hi,

Stayed here for 4 nights at the end of golden week between Yokohama and Kyoto). This was my first visit to Nagoya
Access from Nagoya station is relatively straightforward through the closest exit at Fushimi Station was closed due to construction. Check in was quick and friendly. They asked about my departure time ( I asked for 1pm and was granted it with no issue). Saw several airline crew in the lobby area during my stay
First impressions was that it is an older hotel unlike the newest Hiltons ( Yokohama/Kyoto/Hiroshima/Nagasaki) and had some features like the Hilton Tokyo ( ie breakfast dining in In place 3-3 on the lobby floor and a hilton plaza shopping arcade in the basement like Hiltopia at Hilton Tokyo) though a lot less hectic ( little busier at weekends)
Photos of the rooms were as above. Rooms were in good condition and offered nice city views. Shades can be drawn across the window with a blackout shade able to be drawn. Got a small packet of crackers as a welcome gift
Bathroom was good though as it is an older hotel the wc was beside the vanity sink unlike newer hotels where the wc is in its own small room
Swimming pool and gym were on the 6th floor and were good and usually quiet . There was an outdoor tennis court also

The main breakfast in In place 3-3 was very good with a special fruit juice menu for diamond members. Was not crowded unlike some hiltons though it got busier at weekends
Executive lounge was very good with a good selection of afternoon tea options ( ie smoked salmon on soft pita bread which was nice
Evening selection was very good with a good number of options suitable for a light dinner. Some Options changed nightly unlike Hilton Yokohama and Hilton kyoto
Service was excellent with the Executive lounge team remembering me after my first visit and always calling me tbs-san when coming back
Saw a couple of managers walking around the breakfast area speaking to and taking an interest in guests and they gave me a couple of business cards which I was very impressed by ( and they remembered me if they saw me coming back through the lobby later in the day).

I have posted photos of Nagoya in my trip report ( 7 to 11 May ) here
6 weeks in Japan via Oslo and Helsinki ( JL F to Tokyo) - Page 2 - FlyerTalk Forums
but did like the Oasis 21 complex at night in Sakae

oasis 21 area ( you can go up on the roof until 9pm) in Sakae

and the SCMaglev and railway park ( c 20mins from Nagoya JR station and close to Legoland Japan) as well as Inuyama castle and garden


SCMaglev and Railway park main hall from 2nd floor walkway)

Whilst less visited than Tokyo and Kyoto , Nagoya was very interesting and was busy for my 4 nights here ( and would go back). Whilst a more dated hotel than the newer hiltons, my room was in good condition, the hotel had good facilities and the service was excellent
There are a couple of SLH hotels in Nagoya also the Tower Hotel Nagoya & Nagoya Kanko hotel espacio but these were at least double the price of the hilton
