Toyoko Inn Nagano-eki Higashi-guchi
The room is very clean and fresh. Very close to Nagano train station east exit. Breakfast is delicious but a bit too crowded due to amount of ppl staying. Coin laundry is available on L1 which is awesome. Staff is very friendly. The only thing to be improved is bed a bit hard for me.

HOTEL COURTLAND
What i like is that it’s very near to Nagano Station - 2-3mins walk only. The size of the room was just right for 2 pax with 2 checked-in luggage & 2 carry on. Staff were very accomodating to your questions and needs. What i dont like is that, the ac is off (Autumn season)
