Guesthouse Mado

Best if one wants to experience living in a traditional japanese house.

The downside of living in a traditional japanese house is that one has to to be very cautious in moving especially during night time and after 23:00.

- The staff were friendly and helpful - Room was good, relatively comfy. - Bathroom facilities were good - the shower was in an outhouse but still good quality with hot water, good pressure and plenty of space. Location - out of Nagoya city but close to station and frequent services into the city.

Not a gripe about the hotel particularly, but more a warning and something to be aware of - it got rather cold during the night when I stayed in mid-January and the heater had to be off overnight. While in bed, this was fine was the covers and blankets were pretty much sufficient (although not entirely) to keep the cold out, however, going out to the shower in the early morning was not too pleasant!

I like the experience of staying in a traditional Japanese house with tatami.

They did not provide a service to leave your luggage before your check-in time and after check-out time which made my trip was a little bit uncomfortable. I only stayed there for one night, on my way to Kyoto from Tokyo, and I brought a big luggage.
