Dormy Inn Nagano Zenkounoyu Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to spend the night n Nagano. Close to the train station. Nice bathing facilities."

Nagano Tokyu REI Hotel

8/10 Good

"Checks all the things you what for a quick trip to Nagano and Matsumoto since right in front of the train station. Didn't disappoint and highly effective staff!"

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the JAL for 8 nights and was happy with the service. The location is great as it is a short walk to Zenkoji Temple, the Prefectural Museum and also to Nagano JR Station. Nagano was a fascinating city to visit and the JAL was situated in a good location for finding amenities such as shopping and food. I love to walk and I really enjoyed exploring the area around the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although my room was rather crowded with 3 beds, it was kept clean and well stocked. My only complaint was that the breakfast for a Westerner was very limited and got predictable very quickly. The food was very good, presented well and tasted fine but after 8 breakfasts eating the same things I was ready for a change."
