"Shuttle bus service from Nagano Station is a bonus! Close enough to attractions by car, parking is abundant paid 1000yen for 2 days parking. Breakfast spread is pretty good. Only down side is that the hotel is slightly old."
"The hotel is really clean and quite spacious. The Airconditioning is centralized and we were there during winter so it’s on heater mode. The location is probably around 8-10min walk to Nagano station. They have coin laundry in the first floor. They have 2 pillows per bed, one firm and one soft."
"The moment you enter, the lobby is luxurious and beautiful✿゚❀.(*´▽`*)❀.゚✿ The room is spacious and stylish Σ( °-° ) Wow The bed and sofa were fluffy and the room was so nice that it was a waste for a room just for sleeping.ฅ( ̳> ·̫ < ̳ฅ) All the staff were kind, and when I asked them about recommended izakaya restaurants nearby at night, they brought me a gourmet map and explained things to me in detail, and also introduced me to some particularly recommended restaurants. (๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶"
"Room is as expected for a business hotel. They leave no corners uncleaned. The level of service of reception is exceptional. The reception can help to send your luggages for you, we sent ours to Tokyo and it arrives the next day. Breakfast is great with lots of Nagano seasonal choices."
"It was a pleasant stay as all of us enjoyed the onsen after a long day after exploring Nagano. Location is great as it’s near to the station where you can easily get onto the train and local buses. Room is a bit small for a family of 3, recommend to get a bigger room with additional bed if you have a kid."
"Located about 20 minutes from JR Nagano Station, this hotel was a great choice for our trip, especially since we were driving. The highlight was the stunning mountain view from our room, stretching from sunrise to sunset—a beautiful and unexpected surprise. The hotel lobby feels high-class, but the rooms do show signs of age, with a dated interior. However, the onsen experience more than made up for it—spacious, relaxing, and the outdoor onsen offered an incredible view of the ice-covered mountains. A major highlight was the exceptional service. We encountered an issue with our luggage delivery, and three hotel staff members went above and beyond, patiently assisting us and coordinating with another hotel to ensure everything was sorted. Their kindness and dedication truly left a lasting impression. Overall, despite some aging aspects, I’d highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return on my next visit."
"I like Nagano and the hotel. I enjoyed my staying here. The hotel is located very close to Nagano station, the room was comfortable and clean and has a view on the mountains. There is also a public bath."
"I had a wonderful stay at Smile Hotel Nagano. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and welcoming, which made my experience very comfortable from check-in to check-out. The ambience of the hotel is pleasant and relaxing, and everything was well maintained and clean. The services were smooth and efficient, and I truly appreciated the attention to guest comfort. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would definitely recommend Smile Hotel Nagano to anyone visiting the city. I would love to stay here again!"

Amazing
GGuest UserI would like to suggest everyone to stay at this hotel if you travel to nagano
GGuest UserThe ryokan is situated just a few minutes’ walk from Chusha Daimon bus stop and Kuzuryusha Shrine—an ideal location for us as we stayed for two nights and focused on visiting the five shrines and nearby local shops. The ryokan is clean, and the staff are extremely friendly and warm. A few staff members speak basic English, which was helpful. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner were delicious—be sure to arrive with an empty stomach so you can fully enjoy the many courses and variety of dishes. The onsen is cozy and relaxing. Yukata are provided, and the amenities are well stocked, making the stay very comfortable. Nearby, there is a soba noodle shop where we enjoyed a hearty meal and even ordered dessert multiple times while waiting for the snowfall to ease before continuing our shrine walk. Right next to the soba shop is a souvenir store where you can pick up a few mementos to bring home. There is also a shuttle bus available within the Togakushi area, but my brother and I chose to walk while visiting all five shrines, which was a wonderful experience. A truly lovely place to stay. Highly recommended.
GGuest Useramazing hotel, very near to the train station just need to cross the bridge. there is a convenience store with atm just one minute away from the hotel (in between the station and the hotel). good location and friendly staff. free luggage storage provided as well.
SSivanuttNice location with old fashion Ryokan hotel in Nagano. Business runs by 2 old people with warm welcome. It's share bathroom And they have onsen (small) avaliable for your stay.
GGuest UserOur family with three generations very much enjoyed the food, bath, and hospitality at Yakuoin. We have very little Japanese, but felt welcome and had an English speaking guide for the morning service and tour at Zenkoji Temple.
GGuest UserIt was a good experience. They have a big space. Towels not provided. But from night 10 to morning 10 free cold drink, tea, coffee, water and hot water provided.
GGuest UserGreat location. Even though hotel is not as new compared to surrounding ones, it maintains its cleanliness and we are satisfied during our stay.
