Top Zenko-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Metropolitan Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel right at the train station. You’d never know you were staying right at the station. In the heart of town."

TENNEN-ONSEN HOTEL LiVEMAX PREMIUM Nagano-ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful. Rooms and facilities were clean. Onsen was clean and cozy. Super location if you want to be close to Nagano station. 7-Eleven around the corner. Lots of dining options nearby. Would stay again!"

Toyoko Inn Nagano-eki Higashi-guchi

10/10 Excellent

"Quite close to the Nagano Station (a short walk), good breakfast included, although the breakfast room is very busy for the first hour. Has on site laundry. A pleasant city park is across the street, 2 convenience stores nearby and a "Hotto Motto" fast food outlet a few doors down, as well as the shops and restaurants at and around Nagano Station."

Chuoukan Shimizuya Ryokan

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and the owners were just so wonderful. It's an authentic ryokan, which is what we were looking for. It's not "upscale" like a modern Japanese hotel, but that was the opposite of what we were looking for. Owners were so attentive and lovely."

Chisun Grand Nagano

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, rooms were well maintained."

Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano Zenkojiguchi

10/10 Excellent

Nagano Tokyu REI Hotel

10/10 Excellent

HOTEL COURTLAND

10/10 Excellent

"Older hotel but it was very clean and comfortable. There is a 7-11 next door and directly across the street from the Shinkansen side of the station. Due to the close proximity to the station there are a lot of food options, would stay here again"

Nagano Linden Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay. Room was neat and tidy on arrival and each return. Close to plenty of bars and restaurants, and less than a 10 minute walk to Nagano Station. I would stay again!"
