Nakano Hotels

We chose Chisun Grand Nagano because we had stayed in the same hotel chain before (Chisun Grand Takayama) and were very happy with that hotel. Plus we wanted a hotel that has bigger rooms.

This place was amazing and we will return.
We had two rooms listed as the Grand Twin. The beds were comfortable and the rooms a decent size.

This hotel sits somewhere between a budget and mid-range hotel. It has a nice reception area, good laundry, fresh clean guest rooms.

We had a wonderful stay here.

I’m adding to the 5 star reviews! Stayed here last night after a long journey, and they were fantastic!

Simple and nice hotel for travelers visiting Nagano. We were greeted with smiles as we entered the hotel. Staffs were very helpful.

Pros:
​Ideal Location: Just steps from Zenkoji Temple. Perfect for Hatsumode, especially since the hotel remains open through midnight.
​Great Service: The staff is quick and professional.

As other posts have said older styled hotel and rooms.
Service was fantastic and the hotel had the best bathroom of our trip. Breakfast was a good mix of Japanese and Western foods.

Convenient location as it’s across Nagano station. There’s a 7-11 next to the hotel. Also, there are 2 small malls — C one and Tokyu next to the hotel.

Dormy Inn Nagano was a wonderful place to stay during our trip to Nagano in February. The hotel is clean, easy to navigate, and had large spacious rooms compared to Tokyo.

This is a incredible hotel with a solid breakfast. They have an interesting bath setup with two baths (warm and cold) as well as a sauna. The rooms were really nice to with great beds and cushions.

What a great room and we slept so well, the hotel temperature is well controlled and never felt cold, I do not even need to turn on heating in my room. Pillows are comfortable.

Our favorite accommodation in Japan, without a doubt. The hosts were exceptionally kind and attentive, and their genuine care made our stay unforgettable.

I had a wonderful experience.
I was happy to be treated with so much warmth by the hosts.
The room I stayed is called Sakura.

A charming place with incredibly kind staff — I stayed here for only an overnight trip during January this year but the experience was so pleasant and warm that I felt compelled to leave a review

1166 Backpackers is cozy and authentic. The staff is enormous helpfull: Whether you need help planning your next day trip or help understanding the bus ticketing system.

Amazing experience! I recommend it very much, the host where very nice, the traditional breakfast was very good, the onsen very relaxing. I strongly recommend it to live the 100% japanese experience.

A lovely place to stay, run by a wonderful older couple who were more than happy to show you around or answer any questions you may have.

Just stopped by for lunch as v handy at the foot of the slopes. Slight issue with ordering — machine just wasn’t working. So had to pay cash at the counter. But food was amazing.

I initially booked Hotel Ichinose, but due to an issue with Agoda, the staff kindly contacted Hotel Khuls next door, where one of their team members came to pick us up. They quickly directed us to

My favorite hostel ever. This place instantly felt so much like home. Such a great location in koenji, walking distance to the train and a bunch of cute vintage shops.

Incredible location and a very lovely and comfortable hostel. The facilities and very convenient and well maintained and I slept amazing in the larger than average sized bed.

One of the biggest rooms I've had in Japan in a very good location in nagano. It doesn't even seem that dated based on the reviews as all the amenities are on par with everyone if not better.

Everything was correct and we had a comfortable stay, I found the price reasonable also. Good location and spacious room.

The location is superb — a block away from the train station.

We had a fantastic 1 night stay at the mecure. I was able to get a last minute deal for a great price, and was still offered an upgrade with my accor membership.

Before booking, I want to give travelers a heads-up about staying in Nagano. Compared to Tokyo, Nagano is much more rural.

Booked a semi-double room, and overall, it was a decent stay, especially for the price.

Dated but great sized rooms and I found the beds were comfy.
The staff were absolutely fantastic! So well mannered, kind and generous. Buffet breakfast was great value too.

We just got back from a 1 week stay here with my 7 year old daughter and all she could talk about on the flight home was how much she wanted to go back.

Really enjoyable and comfortable stay here. Lisa and the team are exceptionally friendly and inviting.

Location: awesome: just next to the station. Direct access to the shopping mall adjacent (supermarket, restaurants).

We stayed here for our honeymoon 11 years ago and remembered it to be great so chose this hotel again recently for our Dec 2025 (2nights) pit stop.

I’m adding to the 5 star reviews! Stayed here last night after a long journey, and they were fantastic!
