Hotels trend Nagano — Hotel in Nagano

First of all, my experience here is marred by the fact that we accidentally booked a smoking room instead of non-smoking. However, that is a mistake we made, so it does not reflect on my rating of the hotel.

The hotel location is a brisk walk to the nearest station at Gondo, in a straight line. Easy to find, with a 7-Eleven the next building over, and Udon Hanamaru a two minute walk away. Reception was friendly - there seems to be only one person who can speak English. The lobby had some things you could buy at a low price, as well as provided many necessary amenities such as hairbrush, hair tie, razor, coffee, tea, creamer. There was a sign asking to please only take one set per person. There is a hot water dispenser here. The lobby also had a vending machine indoors with beer, no ID required.

Only one key is given per group (we booked as a group of three). The room itself was quite spacious, with an area for one-person futon, and two beds. There is a private fridge and bathroom with each room, as well as a hair dryer, air conditioning and TV. The bathroom was small, as expected, but clean and usable. The hotel also provides a yukata (Japanese bathrobe) for each occupant, free of charge. There was a air refresher spray which helped with the smoky smell. They also provided cups and kettles, but the kettle did not have a dispenser, so we were unsure how to pour out the boiling water, and just ended up using the hot water downstairs. There were not many plugs per room. Staff come in every day to empty the trash and make your bed for you.

I would have enjoyed this hotel a lot more had it not been for the smoke. Would recommend this place, but don't book a non-smoking room if you...

Friendly and accommodating staff. Hotel was comfortable, safe and secure. Had everything you could need. No in-room safe but I had no issues.

The room was very nice - sufficiently large and with all necessary amenities (even a small fridge). The room was clean and in good condition. The staff was very kind and stored my luggage for free, as I arrived early in the morning. The hotel is conveniently located, yet in a rather quiet place. It's a walking distance from both Nagano station and Zenkoji temple (approximately 20-25 minutes), however, do note that the nearest bus stop is about 900 meters away, so if you got a lot of luggage and do not intend to get a taxi, that may be a bit far. They also have coin operated washing machines and dryers, in case you need them. Overall, a great option for most travelers, especially in terms of...
