"Not worth it. Way over priced! We stayed one night. Staff are very nice. But the place is of a by gone era. It’s old but not in a charming way. Showers in the onsen are cold and you have to wait for many minutes in order for hot water to come out. The rooms and elevators are old. the outdoor hotspring is on the top floor with no facilities (you have to go downstairs first and shower) and no real view to speak of. The location is on the main drag which is nice. But it should be 1/2 the...

Hotel JAL City Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great experience with the hotel, breakfast was excellent, good variety, staff was helpful with great suggestions of things to see and do, room was clean and well stocked. We would stay here again."

Hotel Metropolitan Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Train station nearby. Very nice hotel. I would visit and recommend again."

Iroha Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Personnel courtois et très serviable. On nous a grandement aidé pour l’envoi de nos bagages en plus de nous aider à régler un problème de réservation à un autre hôtel. Le jeune homme à l’accueil a été très patient, souriant et avenant. Nous avons bien apprécié la crème glacée offerte en fin de soirée. Merci pour l’accueil chaleureux."

Toyoko Inn Matsumoto-eki Higashi-guchi

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was very good but very crowded Staff was friendly and very helpful. Unfortunate we couldn't store luggage at the hotel after checkout and had to rent a storage locker at the train station until 3pm."

Chisun Grand Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are clean and relatively spacious. Location super convenient to the train station. 15 minutes or so walk to main attractions is pleasant. Breakfast was enjoyable mix of Japanese and western. Evening sake tasting a nice touch."

Hotel Buena Vista

8/10 Good

"Excellent breakfast Helpful stuff"

Kamesei Ryokan

8/10 Good

"Beautiful though slightly older ryokan. Owners were absolutely lovely, helpful, very friendly and were great to have a chat with. Due to some communication issues we were unable to organise a meal there, but the owners were very apologetic and offered a free session in the private family onsen as recompense, which was lovely. The home made cookies were also delicious and we bought a box to take with us. This was our first ever stay in a ryokan so we were not quite sure what to expect. But I think we were all unified in our horror when we came back after dinner to see our beds. We assumed a futon mattress would be like what we are familiar with at home (Australia), which is a 10cm mattress. These were so much worse than expected, and after staying in two more ryokans during the course of our stay, we realised this is standard. That the Japanese futon mattress is about 2cm thick. I kid you not. Three of our beds had 2 of these mattress’s, and one only had one. For all intents and purposes we were basically just sleeping on the floor. Combine that with the fact the air on didn’t seem to be working and we had to leave the window open all night, I would say this was pretty much our worst night sleep for our whole trip. Which is a shame, because there was so much to love about this ryokan, its owners and the location. Such a cute and peaceful little town."
