Shizuma Cheap Hotels

"Located about a 5 minute walk from Nagano station. Quick check in. Good size room, comfortable and clean. Purchased breakfast buffet and it was very good with lots of variety. Surrounding area is good with lots of shopping. "

"My friend had accidentally lost her backpack on the train just before we had arrived to the hotel for check in. As soon as we arrived at the hotel we asked to borrow their phone to call the lost in found center at the train station. After we explained the situation the hotel staff asked us what train we were on and what the backpack looked like and offered to call the station for us to help locate the backpack. This was a huge relief to us because we were worried about the language barrier over the phone. Not only did the hotel staff locate the backpack for us but they also typed out detailed instructions for us in English of where to go to pick up the backpack and what hours that lost/found center would be open. It was so helpful and we were able to get the backpack back easily! Not only was the staff really kind and professional but the hotel itself was really nice. I enjoyed the traditional style room, wearing a yukata for the first time, and being able to take a hot bath in the onsen. This hotel was my favorite on my Japan trip and I want to go back again! "

"Very clean. Very comfortable. The sky deck is probably the best amenity. Especially for breakfast time, you are able to zone out and focus on yourself and breakfast time in general. Breakfast times are appointed so not too many guest arrive at the same time which is a plus. Extra toothbrushes w/ toothpaste provided, comb, shower cap, razor etc. Did not have to worry too much about the distance to the nearest tourist attraction/location. Very walkable, but if you get tired, bus stops are at almost every 2 blocks or so. "
