Top Nagano Hotel Reviews

Hotel New Nagano NeXT

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Hotel is nice and staff are pleasant. The breakfast includes a limited selection from the Wendy's menu, but the potatoes servers in the buffet are awesome and crispy delicious. Only downfall is the parking which is convenient, but does not offer in and out options. I recommend staying here."

"Lovely, lovely place. Easily the most pleasant stay in our 4 week stay in Japan. Everything's designed to make feel you welcome and have an unforgettable experience. Staff is extremely helpful, gentle and welcoming. Breakfast buffet is something special, an experience worth living, honestly. For us the only downside is that our room felt very old, it could use a slight renovation, or maybe it's just meant to be like that. Also it's all very family friendly, and they have a shuttle service that takes you from and to Nagano station, which is really helpful. A lovely, lovely place indeed."
