    The instructions to use washer and dryer were all Japanese. It could have been easier if the basics were written in English as well.

    We didn’t have breakfast there. We could have cooked our own. We’ll try next time. The location is wonderful, easy to find by walking to and from Nagoya Station.

    The bar closes quite early :)

    Staff are fun and energetic. The location is near Nagoya Station so it's a convenient place to stay if you want to do day trips to the surrounding areas.

    We reserved a four person private room and everything was very clean and operational. All common spaces (kitchen, bathroom, shower) were well maintained. Acchi was very friendly and even let us leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out so we wouldn’t have to lug them around in the rain. Great value and stay!

    host was very friendly, staff were also very friendly and talkative. Great service and was very happy with my stay. I also only had one bunk buddy in my room for the first night, after he checked out I had the room completely to myself for the other 2 nights of my stay. :))

    I love everything. Probably I just only had a little struggle in carrying my luggages to 3rd floor since it has no elevator.

    It'a clean, peaceful, great location, close to nagoya station and the owner is good in english and is very friendly! I would like to rate it 11/10

    I liked everything.

    Wonderful staff, clean facilities and 10mins walk to Nagoya station. On my first night at Glocal, Icchan (the owner) invited me to join the staff and some other guests to a baseball game he had free tickets to. The game was great and everyone was so friendly! The dorms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable with a good amount of privacy, and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. I have great memories at this hostel and will definitely stay again the next time I'm in Nagoya!

    I have read the reviews before booking this property and everyone said the owner was super welcome and friendly. And it was true! I felt at home during my stay at Glocal. Even though I didn't spend much time at the property, I got everything I needed here. The facilities and the amenities are top notch. Will definitely stay at Glocal again when I visit Nagoya next time. Thank you, Icchan and team!
