Hotels With Breakfast in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The Good: You cannot beat the location. Being directly connected to Nagano Station is a total game-changer, especially if you’re hauling ski gear or catching an early Shinkansen. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and the staff is incredibly professional. The Bad: The breakfast buffet is the biggest letdown. While the quality of the food is fine, the menu is extremely repetitive. If you are staying for more than two nights, you’ll find the exact same selection of eggs, bacon, and local sides every single morning. Verdict: Stay here for the convenience and the comfort, but maybe skip the breakfast add-on after day two and explore the bakeries in the attached MIDORI mall instead.

Tokyu Rei hotel is conveniently located right across the street from Nagano station. The rooms are of a good enough size for a short stay for a couple, single, or family with young kids. The beds are comfortable and the room clean. If staying a night or two to experience the Snow Monkey Park and the city of Nagano and it's surroundings, it's a good option. It's within walking distance of Zenjiko shrine, which is large and free to enter. The station is right across the street and offers many restaurants and a grocery store. For convenience, it's a good option.

The hotel is new and the room is spacious and very clean. Bed and bathroom is very good as well. Top notch service by the hotel staff, and the breakfast and well served. Not to mention that the hotel also have onsen and massage room available. Location wise is 10/10 (only 5 mins walk to JR station). Overall would highly recommend this hotel to visitors to Matsumoto

The triple room was quite spacious. The front desk is on the second floor, and the staff were very helpful. Toothbrushes and other toiletries, including facial care products and even face masks, need to be picked up yourself next to the front desk, and there's a good variety. Breakfast is a buffet with plenty of choices. You can also have lunch and dinner here, but it's open to the public, so you might have to queue during peak hours, as it's a very popular restaurant. There's parking available next to the hotel, but you can't reserve a spot.

1. Parking - Parking is behind the hotel, and they will check your booking and give you a parking chit (駐車券). The person manning the parking situation doesn't inform you beforehand that you have to bring this chit to the lobby for check in. We left it on the dashboard as we thought it indicates that we can park here. If you're travelling with alot of baggage, it can get pretty inconvenient as you will have to walk one round around the hotel for accessible routes to avoid a flight of stairs. 2. Check in procedure - 三條-san was helping us with the check in. Did not feel welcomed, and everything just felt routined and mechanical. This was still acceptable. When it came to asking for the parking chit, we said we left it on the dashboard and whether we could return later to show it to him. We were really not informed that we had to bring it to the reception. 三條-san's face immediately showed a face of disgust and annoyance, and he mildly rolled his eyes too in displeasure. My partner immediately ran to the car to get it for him there and then. This was pretty shocking to me as I did not expect Japanese hospitality to be this rude and nobody mentioned to us to bring the chit to the reception. He could have been more patient and handled it more professionally. We were also unaware at the time of making a hotel reservation that you have to book a breakfast slot at the time of your check in. We checked in at around 7pm, and we were only left with the 6am or 6:30am breakfast slot. This felt very restrictive as everyone has different waking habits or plans for the next day (Felt like we were back in school). You were also restricted to 50 minutes duration at breakfast. Having to change my plan entirely just because of this restriction felt ridiculous. Would I get a refund of the cost of the breakfast if I can't make it for any of the breakfast timings? If this was made known at the point of the hotel reservation, I might have reconsidered as the slots for the more human timings seem to get snatched up really quickly. All in all, the check in progress was pleasant and 三條-san was a huge reason for it. I will recommend future visitors to avoid him if you see that there are other staff manning the reception desk. 3. The J floor rooms were lovely. Clean, decent size, filled with amenities and complimentary drinks even those in the fridge. The hotel room itself was lovely compared to what happened in the lobby. 4. Breakfast - Despite being left with the ridiculously early breakfast slots, breakfast spread was great. Wide range of food and if you get a window seat, you have a good view of the city.

We stayed at this hotel in Nagano as a family of three for two nights. The location was very convenient, with the MRT and bus station just nearby, making it easy to get to Snow Monkey Park and other areas. The service was fine—nothing extravagant, but acceptable and efficient. One downside was that the toilet had a slightly unpleasant smell, which could be improved. There is a 7-Eleven close to the hotel, which was handy, but for good local food, you’ll need to walk a bit farther, as most of the eateries are located on the other side of the hotel. Overall, our stay was enjoyable, and we have no major complaints since we didn’t spend much time in the hotel itself. It’s a decent option if you’re mainly looking for accessibility and convenience while exploring Nagano.

As a loyal Dormy Inn guest, it's my top choice for winter trips. I stayed for three nights, and even though I was worried it might be a bit old since it's been open for a while, it wasn't at all – very clean. For about 250 per person, to get a hotel with a hot spring, sauna, ramen, and massage chairs – what more could you ask for?! You don't have to book breakfast; there's a 7-Eleven next door and a Starbucks across the street. When I pushed open the door to the outdoor bath, it was snowing heavily – a beautiful moment added to life!

A good hotel close to Nagano Station, though it's still about a 10-minute walk. They offer a buffet breakfast and even room cleaning (despite what was stated during booking about no cleaning for stays under 3 nights). Essential amenities are provided, including a hairdryer, kettle, mugs, toothbrushes, and so on. Downside #1: It gets cold inside during winter, so you have to turn on the air conditioning for heating. Downside #2: The outlets don't charge European laptops, even with an adapter. Downside #3: The Wi-Fi periodically disconnected.

Fantastic stay, extremely helpful & polite staff. Prime location, connected to Nagano station via the overpass, so you don't need to cross the road, super convenient. Our room was a bit small, 15 sqm, and 1 large suitcase, it was a bit cramped. Would definitely stay here again but will book a bigger room. Arigato Sotetsu Nagano🙂

Convenient location. Short walk to everything. It is centrally located to the castle, Aeon mall and Matsumoto station. Surrounded by eateries. Shower water pressure is strong with adjustable temperature. Bed is slightly smaller than queen size but still good enough and comfortable. Room is quiet and clean.
