Recommended Hotels Near Nagano Station

Hotel Nikko

Nagano City
|0.27km from city center
It's cheap and good for the price. You can walk from the station. The facility is old, so I feel like I'm using the water while repairing it. I was able to change the cleaning linen for the time being, but there was a fairly large spider nest on the window. This doesn't seem to be a place to check. I think it's only my room.

Chisun Grand Nagano

Nagano City
|0.29km from city center
The room was incredibly spacious. Although it's a bit of a walk from the station, the soundproofing is excellent, so you won't hear any train noise at night. There's a convenient store nearby, and the hotel even offers a thoughtful Happy Hour with complimentary drinks and snacks. The breakfast was delicious, and I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

Hotel Mielparque Nagano

Nagano City
|0.35km from city center
The Japanese-style mattress is hard to say. It feels like a thick sponge. It can't sleep when it's overturned. It hurts in the morning (maybe it varies from person to person?). Hotel environment is very good, service is very good, very close to Nagano Station.

Island Hotel

Nagano City
|0.35km from city center
The hotel looks old and isn't particularly striking from the street. However, the Japanese are incredibly meticulous with cleaning, so it's impeccably clean inside. The location is also super convenient (there's a great ramen place in the next building). You'll even find some retro features, like a two-handle faucet and an old TV – very authentic. My only minor complaint is that I couldn't get the air conditioning to cool, only to heat.
