I talked to several locals during a one week stay in Nagoya and it seems TIAD is pretty famous as a hotel that universally is praised by guests, and I am adding myself to that list. While it’s not near the main Nagoya station, a subway entrance/exit is literally outside the front door of TIAD, so commuting around the city and neighboring prefectures is about as easy as it gets. There are also lo...

The Tiad is located within a five minute walk of the bustling Sakae neighborhood and train station. The hotel is exceptional. The facilities, from the lobby bar to the outdoor patio to the swimming pool to the guest rooms were all 5-star level. The room was very well appointed with bottled water and many other appreciated ammenities. At check in you can select the room cleaning time and turndown s...

All shine and sheen and no substance. This hotel is kind of a nightmare because of the excessive amount of automation. When my partner got up in the middle of the night, every light in the room turned on and all the curtains opened. And it happened every time he got up. This is like something out of Smart House (yes, the Disney channel movie). They did fix this the next day but nobody wants that a...

Best hotel in Nagoya as at 2025. Great location, just a tad further than Chunichi Building hotel. But much better rooms. I paid US$400 per night by booking a night early and got its traditional Japanese room with a lounge room. Would’ve been nice if it had a window. Bath was huge. Great gym but aircon too hot (high?). Free fruits in gym level

First time in Nagoya and feeling so happy to stay at this hotel. It’s newly built. Sophisticated architectural design, clean and sleek. We stay in a premier room in the 13th floor with great and open view overlooking the city. The greenery outside the window adds a very different energy. Room is spacious. Powder room, bathtub and toilet are huge. The room has Nespresso machine for coffee. As soon ...

Our stay at TIAD was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of genuine warmth and impeccable attention to detail.
