Hotel NewNagano NeXT

The hotel is relatively new, located strategically within few mins walking distance from Nagano station. Shopping is easy with supermarket, Don Quijote, and many retail shops around. Convenient stores like 7-11 or family marts as well as lots of eatery choices are reachable within short walk. Check-in was easy, with the assistance from the receptionist. The hotel provides free amenities for collection in front of the lift, even including mouth wash and face mask. You can also opt to choose your preferred pillow even though there are already 2 in the room. Donuts are served between 2pm-5pm at the lobby but if you're in luck, they're still available after 5pm. Guest will be given a token to collect a welcome drink from the vending machine, per night stay. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. What I like the most is the air conditioner which allow you to choose between cold air or warm air which is really useful during a cold spring. The bathroom is a bit small and compact but still fits a bath tub. Epsom salt and bath sand are available for collection at lobby. The other plus points would be the breakfast + luggage storages. Guest are given 2 breakfast sets : 1 burger set with drink from Wendy's Burger next door + you get to join the simple breakfast buffet at the hotel too! The breakfast spread is simple yet varieties. Luggage storages are available FOC including use of small/big lockers for hotel guests. I'm very grateful with this service as i dont have to carry my huge backpack with me while exploring the shrine before heading for shinkansen. In overall, double thumbs up for this hotel!

Less than 2 minutes away on foot from the train station. Surrounding has many eateries and mini mart. Self check-in and check-out were a breeze with friendly staff to help if needed. Room though compact, I was able to open fully my 27" luggage with ease. Not many business hotels in Japan has this luxury. Room is clean and comes with the usual amenities. TV programme has the NHK world channel. ¥200 to do your laundry and ¥100 to dry. Token was given to buy drinks from the vending machine. Definitely recommend to stay here.

This hotel is a 10/10 recommendation if you are looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay. Just 2min from Nagano Station and very easy to find. I used it as a base for day trips to the surrounding countryside and cities. Also, buses to Zenko-ji leave right in front of the station. My room was small as is usual for business hotels, and it looked spartan, but honestly, it had everything one could need. a small but very deep bathtub, towels, hairdryer, tea, coffee, a comfortable bed. It might be a squeeze for two people with massive suitcases, but for a solo traveller with hand luggage there was plenty of room. The amenities "bar" in the foyer is amazing! It was crazy what you can have, tea, coffee, ten different kinds of shampoo, bath salts... also, this might be a small thing, but they give you coins for the cold drinks vending machine, which is a nice touch.

Very close to the train station. They give you free donut, vending machine fm drink, and amenities to choose, make you feel like a big kid again. Staff was very friendly and allow us to keep our luggage in the storeroom as we arrived super early (before 10am) and left quite late the next day (after 5pm). Water pressure for shower is nice and strong and bathroom size was just nice, not too small. Within walking distance from restaurants also.

the hotel room was comfy , location is good & near Nagano Sta., nice supermarket & department store nearby, closed to many restaurants. hotel generously provide many amenities, as well as free donuts time, free drink from vending machine ( one per guest per day). staff are very helpful even they may not speak fluent English (they use language translator which has no problem), hotel provide lockers with keys in the lobby for guest to put belongings before check-in (or even after your shopping and do not want to go up to your room yet!)
