Chisun Inn Nagoya

Getting a whole room to myself with a private bathroom and shower - for the price of a "capsule hotel" - makes this hotel pretty sweet. Hotel is close to the station, with lots of places to eat nearby. The room is small. It is small, even by Japanese standards, as a hotel room. But it's incomparably much better than what you'd get in a capsule hotel, and the pricing is nice. Room came with a Full bathroom with bathtub+shower, a TV, a mini-fridge, a single bed and half of a table. Couldn't ask more at this location and price. Would highly recommend if you don't need luxury, but need privacy and basic human necessities capsule hotels can't provide.

The hotel is built like a panopticon. I found it pretty amusing, but if you're something close to an ex-con, maybe you might rethink staying here. Designed in a cylindrical shape, there are rooms on the outer side, with 'city view' s, and there's rooms that face the inside. Obviously the inner side rooms are the cheaper ones - which I had. You get no sunlight, and need to keep the curtains closed at all times unless you wish to give other guests some memorable experience from the stay. Also, the room is small. The bathroom is small. The bed is not that small but far from big. If you had trouble fitting into some smaller cars, you might face the same problems here as well.
