(edit after another stay in November 2022) - all the staff is friendly and helps you with useful recommandations in Nagoya. They are easy to talk to, in english and japanese. To the point I became friend with some of them and could enjoy Nagoya even more. - whole guesthouse feels brand new, clean and confortable. All equipments work properly, wifi is good. - common area is confortable and near a small area where you can prepare simple food or make coffee and tea. Tea and coffee are available for free. It's worth to mention that the common area is available all day and night, and is confortable enough for guest to stay for a long time and eventually meet other guests. This happened to me many times. - the dormitory is large enough to put your luggage without it getting on the way. - beds in dormitory are very clean and there is a bit of space to put your items, as well as a small locker (you just need to tell the staff to get the key) - washing machine and dryer are available for a small fee, I used both and they worked well - the guesthouse is well located near Osu shopping district, and you can reach the metro station in a few minutes

- it wasn't really an issue for me but the kitchen is very simple so don't expect to cook advanced dishes there. This space is mainly to make tea/coffee, warm up a bento or eat very simple dishes.

The people working here are very friendly and helpful. Gave amazing suggestions for food. The system is also flexible which is unusual in Japan lol, they allowed me to store my bag in the hostel for a day even tho I was at a different hostel because I was coming back to this hostel after. Super great location if you’re into the touristy things.

I stayed in the dorms and the ventilation wasn’t great at all. I had to sleep with the privacy curtain open, so no privacy for me. If you turn up the AC, it’s too noisy, if you don’t, it’s too hot. Also, while seemingly clean, I’m pretty sure they don’t wipe down their bed frames with disinfectant as mine was dusty.

First of all, I love how friendly the staff are. Majority of them speaks English and they are really fun to have a chat with. They make you feel welcome and at home. They welcome us back and ask us how was out day. They are also really helpful and assisted me wholeheartedly for requests, particularly helping me find my lost item all the way in Tokyo. Second thing that I like is that the facility is also clean and well-maintained. The place is spotless and organized. Third, I also like the location as it is just situated in the Osu Shopping strip and is 8-10mins walk to the subway stations.

Nothing! My stay in Trip & Sleep Hostel is perfect! 😊 I will definitely choose to stay here again when I come back to Nagoya! 😊

Very friendly staff, comfy beds and human-sized rooms. The location is great, it's clean, and there is an elevator which is a big plus for big suitcases. I had a good time.

The fact that there's no sink nearby the bathrooms makes it a bit weird. We have to go down to the 2nd floor each time to wash our hands. The tiny hand towel should be provided straight away on arrival. I think kitchen utensils could be organized in a different way that feels more hygienic. Groups of people that share the same room were a bit noisy at night, knocking at their door (kind reminder about not knocking should be written on doors).

Everything was great! The bed was very comfortable and the curtains give you privacy in the dorm and darkness to sleep. The location is great, near to a metro station and surrounded by restaurants and shops. The staff is very friendly, I had a great time during my stay!

There is not such thing as a kitchen, only a fridge and a microwave, so you can't prepare your meals. Is not a big issue, but it shouldn't be advertised with a kitchen.

Loved how friendly and helpful the staff were. Was immaculately clean for the most part. Beds were comfortable really enjoyed the property. Liked that they enforced shoes off at the door and provided indoor footwear. Close to shops and restaurants. Not too far from station to walk. Tea & coffee downstairs.

The lavatories didn’t always have soap and could’ve been a bit cleaner. Be nice to have an area to store pantry/non-perishable food items like others hostels that have a shelf with small bins/baskets to label.

Trip & Sleep was overall quite a good hostel. Nagoya was mostly a quick stop over for me so I didn`t explore the sites too much, but the castle was in walking distance (40 minutes, flat). But the district around the hostel kept me quite occupied, as it was right next to several shopping streets full of food and vintage clothes stores, and there was a large shrine right nearby. The hostel had some good food recommendations and information on the area. Dorms were simple but good. Common area was well set up and there were generally a couple people eating and relaxing.

Only one floor had shower rooms, I think 8 showers, mixed gender, for use of the whole hostel (4 floors?). Each floor had two toilets, with the common Japanese set up of a sink combined in the toilet design. However this meant there was no sink/mirror facility for brushing teeth/doing hair and makeup etc., other than the busy shower rooms.

The hostel was perfectly situated in my opinion, and the staff were really kind. I was positively surprised by how clean the bed, sheets, blanket were. The showers are big enough and very clean so it was a pleasure too. They provide basically everything you would need for (including shampoo and bodywash!) so it was really comfortable. It was pretty quiet too. I was there for a particular event and a lot of other residents were going to that same event, so I would say it‘a be pretty easy to meet people there and start conversations. 100% recommend !

Fabulous location! Right in the middle of a great shopping street, near lots of cool temples and shrines and a train station with 2 lines. The staff were lovely - thanks especially to Mari for her excellent food recommendations. Our family of 4 shared a 2 bunk room which was a little separate to the rest of the rooms so nice and quiet and private. Would absolutely stay here again if we come back to Nagoya!

The room was clean and more than large enough. In fact it could have fitted 4 people. The hostel allows to store the luggage until 10 pm which was great for our day trip. It's worth highlighting that we left too early for check out (before 8 am) and were allowed to leave the luggage in the room and then it was savely stored by the staff. Check-in was uncomplicated and everything was explained.

The bathroom for all 3 floors had only 6 showers which can create some queuing during rush hours. The price to value in comparison to other hotels we visited before seems to be a bit off but that is true for all of Nagoya and not a particular problem of this hostel.
