Great place to stay. Short walk from the station with plenty of shops and eating opportunities nearby. The hotel was great, clean, good sized room and an excellent breakfast in a Japanese style restaurant on the top floor which had great views. The hotel had free saki tasting in the evening along ...

Island Hotel
Hotel New Nagano NeXT
Amenity choices are wide. The frontdesk staff is super polite and efficient. The location and parking area is closed to main train station which is very convenient. The parking fee is ¥800 which is even lower than some smaller city. Good deal!

Hotel JAL City Nagano
No A/C made the stay very unpleasant. Especially because the temp outside was warm also. Very disappointing.
