Hotel Dengan Breakfast di Nagano Prefecture, Japan

This is a perfect spot in Nagano if you want to take a break before heading to other parts such as Hakuba for skiing . It is literally right at the station and connected via MIDORI where you can buy groceries and with lots of restaurants. Due to fight delay, we arrived late at night at around 10pm. MIDORI shops were all closed but ht path to hotel still open and we can still find plenty of cafes nearby. It has reserved Alpico bus to Hakuba right at hotel or you may go to the regular bus stop at bus station 26 for higher frequency of bus service. Will definitely stay here again if we need to stop over at Nagano. Though the hotel is not new, it’s spacious and clean enough for a comfortable stay .

Lokasinya betul-betul di hadapan Stesen Nagano, jadi ia sangat mudah untuk digunakan. Saya sampai awal, jadi apabila saya pergi ke meja depan untuk meninggalkan bagasi saya, ada bilik yang sedia untuk saya dan saya dibenarkan untuk mendaftar masuk terus!! Bilik itu juga dibersihkan dengan baik dan sangat bersih. Di atas semua, menu sarapan pagi adalah sangat luas sehingga saya fikir saya menginap di rumah penginapan biasa!! Apabila saya pergi ke Nagano, saya ingin menginap di hotel ini lagi.

I changed rooms because my first room smelled strongly like someone's body odor, but the second room also smelled, just less. So I didn't bother to change again. I've never had this issue elsewhere in Japan and I've stayed at a lot of different hotels in Japan, weird... Breakfast has varieties but tasted so so... I was woken up once by people talking in the hallway. Door sound proof isn't great. So if you're a light sleeper, maybe use ear plugs. Good service and amenities otherwise.

Richmond hotel was a short walk from the Matsumoto JR Station and Bus Station. Bed was comfortable and room good size for 3 pax. Breakfast at Cafe Gusto had a good selection and was yummy!

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.

Dormy Inn Nagano is near Nagano station (~3min walk) and is also a stone’s throw away from a supermarket and a number of convenience stores and restaurants. The onsen is small but clean and well-maintained with an outdoor onsen as well! The room I was assigned was decently sized, clean and comfortable! Have booked another stay here next week when I return to Nagano! (MatsuKiyo is also a 2-3 walk away)

Room was bigger than expected and very clean too! Staff was very friendly and helped us to check in even though we could not speak Japanese.

The hotel location was very good especially if you want to do snow monkey park and Togakushi Shrine. Room us good size and buffet breakfast is not too bad. Being next door to Don Quijte is very convenient if you want to shop.

I love this hotel. It was a few minutes walk from the Matsumoto station and bus terminal the city was compact enough that we managed to visit alot of places within walking distance. The room was big and comfortable for 3 of us. The big surprise was the free ramen and ice cream service at the lobby. Definitely recommend this place if we ever come again to Matsumoto
