"Great place to stay at in Nagano. Close to the train station, a cheaper option than most hotels. Our room was clean and the shared bathrooms and bathrooms, too."

"It was very easy to access, checking in checking out. I did not realize that it was a self check-in service and there is no staff with booking. This should be made more clear however a very easy affordable and convenient stay for one night."

Great location, just a short walk from Nagano Station and easy to find. It's on the same road that leads to Zenkoji Temple. For a two-night stay this met my expectations. Facilities were clean and tidy. I also had the chance to dine in at their Mash Cafe - it was a nice, cozy ambiance and the food and drinks were delicious. Staff both at check-in counter and cafe were very friendly.
