Bokka no Sato

The hotel has a great location, within walking distance of SAKAE Station, and there’s a Don Quijote (DONKI) right around the corner, which was very convenient for food, shopping and everyday essentials. The hotel lobby is located on the 3rd floor. However, the building entrance isn’t exclusive to the hotel, as there are restaurants on the basement, 1st and 2nd floors. The lift is also shared with the restaurants at 1st and 2nd floors in the building. That said, you need to tap your room key in the lift to access the hotel room floors, which provides some security. Unfortunately, as a female solo traveller, I didn’t feel particularly safe staying here. After around 9pm every night, there were often groups of people, mainly men, standing around DONKI and near the hotel entrance. During my stay, I was approached by a man near the hotel at night who asked me if I wanted to sleep with him. It was an uncomfortable experience, and I didn’t feel safe until I had entered my room. I understand that this may not be something the hotel can directly control, but given the price I paid, I expected the surrounding area and hotel entrance to feel more secure. Personally, I don’t feel the hotel was worth the price, especially as a solo female traveller. On the positive side, the hotel staff were really nice and friendly, and the location is certainly convenient.

友人同士6人で利用しました。人数が多かったので少し心配していましたが、スペースに余裕があり、滞在中は窮屈さを感じることなく過ごせました。特に良かったのは、全員で食事や会話を楽しめるスペースがしっかり確保されていたことです。キッチンも使いやすく、ホテルとは違って、みんなで一緒に過ごす時間を楽しめる宿でした。周辺環境も便利で、駅まで歩いて行ける距離にあり、コンビニもすぐ近くにあります。観光や食事に出かける際にも動きやすく、名古屋で複数人で泊まるには使い勝手の良い施設だと感じました。
