Grandale Nagoya 709

The location of the building was good, just a short walk from the main train station. The place was clean and all of the facilities listed in the add were included. Bonus points for the heated floormat! It made it more comfortable for the person sleeping on the otherwise very cold floor. The bathroom was small but clean, had shampoo, conditioner and soap as well as some menstrual pads and cotton swabs to use freely. As long as you don't expect too much from a place which is cheaper than most of the other places close to the train station, you will be okay.

When we reached the apartment we were given instructions to get a key from a mail box. But when we opened the mail box, there was no key. This led to an hour-long journey to try to first confirm that the key is not where it was supposed to be, and then trying to find the spare key and accessing it. Nothing was working, and though the customer service was quick to answer our questions, we started to freeze outside of the apartment trying to get the spare key. Finally a lady who had entered the building some time earlier goes to our mailbox and places something in it (turns out it was the key). We were not sure if she was the cleaner lady or someone else, but our check-in time had already passed over an hour ago. She apologized profusely and we got our key. When we reached the apartment it was smaller than we were expecting (in the pictures it looked bigger). You could fit 2 people in the bed but the third person had barely enough space to lay on the floor on top of some sofa cushions. Outside of the apartment there was a construction site so we woke up to the sounds of drilling and hammering. As an ending note, in the beginning the fridge was switched to a too cold setting so our onigiris froze.

Good​ location​ not​ far​ from​ Nagoya​ Station.

The​ room​ quite​ small​ for​ 4​ people.​ Sofa​ bed​ is​ terrible.​
