Guest Reviews

• Thièry (8/5): - Immenses chambre et salle de bain (ce qui est rare au Japon), très propre, dans un quartier très calme. Au niveau déco c'est "dans son jus" mais l'ambiance 70s de cet ancien hôtel de passe est amusante :). Le lit est très dur
• MASAKZU (5/5): -
• Christina (10/5): Very nice. - Very close to Gondo station, everything in close distance and even in walking distance to the river. It gives a 60s vibe and it's very creative.
• Geyne (8/5): -
• Cheryl (1/5): I would have tried for refund but was to late - Worst we have stayed in Every thing
• ירדן (9/5): -
• Evelyne (10/5): - Très bien. Spacieux, fonctionnel, bien situé.
• Yona (8/5): -
• zahnerli (8/5): Spannender Aufenthalt - Das Zimmer war für japanisch Verhältnisse sehr gross mit einem separaten Dusch-/Badezimmer und einer Toilette. Es hat eingebaute Lautsprecher (Radio) und zwei Fenster mit Aussicht. Das Licht ist dimmbar. Das Hotel war früher ein Stundenhotel und liegt deshalb etwas versteckt in einer kleinen Seitengasse. Das Zimmer roch zu beginn etwas nach Rauch, was sich jedoch dan gelegt hat. Es dauerte etwas, bis wir die richtige Fernbedienung für die unterschiedlichen Klimaanlagen gefunde haben und die Temparatur regulieren konnten.
• Karin (7/5): - La ubicación es muy buena y el precio es bajo El edificio y las habitaciones son bastante bizarras, parece haber sido un "love hotel" en otra época. El olor de la habitación no llegaba a ser desagradable pero no era fresco. El baño tenía olor a humedad
• Svetlana (7/5): -
• LollyPi77 (10/5): - La struttura è sicuramente kitch e vintage, ma la camera era molto grande, la parte inerente i servizi ben divisa, con una stanza dedicata solo alla vasca e alla doccia. Inoltre è tutto ben pulito. All'interno c'è il condizionatore, per cui se fa freddo si può accedere ed immediatamente la stanza si scalda. Completa il tutto la possibilità di accedere al microonde, bollitore, lavatrice e asciugatrice (che personalmente non ho utilizzato, quindi non so se funziona). Nulla
• Steven (7/5): -
• Carmen de Vries (10/5): Top hotel! - Goede locatie, vlakbij treinstation. Hele leuke restaurantjes op loopafstand. Kamers zijn prachtig! Heel netjes en schoon. Erg stil, hoorde geen geluid van buiten of binnen. In de buurt ontbijt cafeetje. Voor de prijs perfecte kamers, ik geef niet snel een 10. Weinig faciliteiten maar water en koffie/thee is voldoende. Eigenaar goed bereikbaar. .
• 聲默 (10/5): -
• Ghita (9/5): -
• camilla (7/5): - Good value for money and a convenient location. Close to shops and the train station and walking distance to Zenkoji temple. Had tea and coffee facilities just outside the room, along with a microwave. Useful having a fridge in the room. Very cheap laundry service as well The WiFi was pretty poor, it kept dropping in and out and struggled to load anything. The bathroom was just a bit strange, it was huge with a double bath system, but no taps to fill it and then a shower pushed up against the side, but with nowhere easy to stand with it on.
• kathryn (10/5): Great check in great place, and I would stay again - Great location in Gondo close to the temple and the electric railway, shopping and food. Room was large and bathroom great. Even a couch to sit on! Bed was too hard for me.
• Bali (10/5): Cute themed-rooms right next to the shoutengai! - We got the blue room on the ground floor, the walls glowed in the dark and there was a cool twinkling starry sky on the ceiling. Super cool. It's right next to the shopping arcade and the subway station, but also only 20 minute walk to the big Nagano train station too. Check in was super easy, the room was clean, the bed was comfy, and it even snowed while we were checking out! Wifi was a little spotty sometimes but my mobile data worked fine inside the building.
• Ligita (7/5): - The apartment compared to Japanese standards was huge. Separate toilet room and separate bath room. Close to Zenkoji. Apartment was clean and bed comfortable. The apartment looked very old, like no maintenance was done for 30 years. Bath was made out of plastic and was not usable. Also, room had a strange smell.
• Christopher (8/5): Nice place to stay in Nagano - Good size room. Well located just off a street with lots of restaurants. The room was a bit dated
• gerald (5/5): -
• AHMAD SANI (8/5): - The location was superb. Walking distance to the Nagano station. Watahan Supermarket is just around the corner!
• Irati (7/5): Sitio curioso pero cómodo - La habitación es grande y la cama muy cómoda. Llegamos por la noche y nos atendió una persona, llamabas al timbre y venía. Se agradece saber que puedes hablar con una persona si surge lo que sea, y que no es todo por mail como en muchos de los alojamientos de Japón. Tiene un supermercado grande al lado. El sitio es curioso sin duda, no le vendría mal una reforma. La decoración de la habitación era demasiado cargada para mi gusto, no es como para pasar allí el día descansando, pero para ir a dormir y ya, genial. Está en una callejuela un poco apartada.
• huaming (10/5): -
• fabrice (7/5): - La proximité, l'emplacement, la chambre La réactivité du propriétaire Je n'ai vu personne en 3 jours
• KAZUKO (6/5): 普通 - 駅から近い お風呂の水が溜めにくい。 シャワーでないと溜められない。
• yukitoshi (7/5): -
• Terje (10/5): Så dejligt ophold i en skøn by og dejligt kvarter at bo i. Hyggeligt og tæt på stadionet - Alt var perfekt utroligt perfekt til en meget billig pris imponerende Der var intet jeg ikke kunne lide
• Hiroaki (7/5): -
• GAKU (10/5): -
• Benjamin (9/5): loved it - really great location. very easy checkin and check out. we arrived early so stored our bags there and explored before. its in the cutest area of nagano we did not want to leave. nothing
• Blas (8/5): Very nice - The vibe of the room was immaculate The washer/dryer machine ran for four hours.
• Nicolas (8/5): -
• 酒井sakai (6/5): -
• Mark Lobo (9/5): -
• Gabriela (6/5): Bom custo benefício, mas frio no inverno - O quarto é grande e a localização perto de estações de trem. Cama confortável. No inverno o banheiro não tem aquecimento, muito frio para entrar ao tomar banho. Poucas amenidades no quarto em comparação a outros hotéis com mesmo preço. Toalhas poderiam ser melhores.
• GIUSEPPE (4/5): - Dimensione e pulizia Rumorosa e network pessimo
• Peter (8/5): Affordable and clean. Great location for temple and markets - Location was great and it was clean. We had two rooms, the Japanese room was spacious, the second room was ‘unique’. Water pressure was not great in our room.
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• audrey (7/5): - Situation géographique au top! Difficultés de contact avec les travailleurs.
• Dmitrii (9/5): -
• ZiQi (8/5): - 空间很大，非常干净 除了浴缸没有水龙头外，都挺好的
• esra (10/5): Coolest place we stayed during our trip! - We loved the vibe! The room was spacious,clean,stylish and super retro. We loved everything about it. Very quiet hotel. Great location! Nothing
• Leonie (10/5): - Der Check-In-Prozess war sehr unkompliziert. Das Zimmer war äusserst geräumig - viel mehr Platz als in den üblichen Hotelketten in Japan. Auch das Bett war gross und sehr bequem. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten in Nagano selbst sind super erreichbar. Wir brauchten eine Weile, bis wir verstanden, wie die Heizung funktioniert und es war dementsprechend etwas kalt. Ausserdem haben wir es unterlassen die Tür zur Dusche zu öffnen, weswegen dort nicht geheizt wurde und es am Morgen dann sehr kalt war.
• Malannie (7/5): Quirky but comfortable - This was a 5min walk to Gondo station to get to Nagano station but also convenient to walk 20min. The room was spacious despite being very quirky and outdated. There isn’t any cleaning service, there is carpet all over the room I stayed in and small bits of lint/debris from fabrics got stuck into the carpet.
• Kazuhiro (1/5): 値段等を含めて最悪でした。 - ①シャワーの湯量が少ない。 ②浴室が寒い。 ③浴槽はあってもお湯をためる蛇口設備がない。 ④お湯を沸かすポットが部屋にない。 ⑤ビジネスで使用する明るさがない。
• Luna (9/5): I would highly recommend it! - Absolutely loved the little convenience stations in the hallway, they had everything you need - boiling water, microwave, fridge, freezer, ice cubes, absolutely lovely! And the laundry services were amazing and userfriendly. I loved the unique gentlemen’s club vibe, and the room felt quite luxurious. It came with a private onsen / bathtub too, which was lovely. Didn’t actually see much of the host, but he was really kind when we did. It was a bit of a walk from the main station, but it did have a train station nearby.
• Maria Teresa (7/5): -
• Jiří (10/5): -
• Leevi (7/5): - Sijainti hyvä, huone tilava Ilmastointi haisi ja oli kova ääninen
• Cristina (6/5): Suficiente, pero mejorable - La ubicación está bien, muy cerca del templo y a un paseo de la estación. Habitaciones muy anticuadas. No hay personal en absoluto, excepto un minuto al llegar para hacer el check in.
• Marya (9/5): Vintage decor, great location, good value. - I love the quirky, vintage decor. Great location. No staff present
• Juha (10/5): Would go again. - Smallish no-nonsense hotel, close to temple and other locations. Clean. Good value for money. Would go again. Practically none.
• Elisa (10/5): - Todo muy limpio y buena ubicación. La decoración, pero para dormir está bien.
• Elisabeth (10/5): - Great location, free hot water/ tea and coffee. Very private. We enjoyed our stay and would book again!
• Sabina (9/5): -
• Filipe (9/5): -
• Julia (7/5): Good accommodation in Nagano - Good location, close to the train station and Zenkoji Temple. Very clean, unproblematic check-in and check-out. The room felt a bit dark, which was probably due to the layout and interior design, but that's just a matter of taste.
• Lorenzo (8/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): - Great place to stay in Nagano.
• Liz M (9/5): Spacious, clean, great location, value and host. Would stay again. - Location was excellent and quiet. Room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Owner/manager was welcoming and responsive. Lots of facilities - some shared like a balcony, microwave and kettle. Room is older style (maybe ex-love hotel?) but we loved the quirkiness of it. It's so retro, it's in fashion again, especially the mustard-coloured vanity set! Nothing - all good.
• 総業 (10/5): -
• Thomas (3/5): -
• K (5/5): - Prima locatie, dichtbij de metro en op loopafstand van de Zenkoji Temple. Er was alles aanwezig wat nodig is voor een kort verblijf en alles was echt goed schoon. De inrichting deed mij een beetje denken aan mijn groot-grootmoeders stijl. De kamer was op de begane grond en zelfs midden op de dag met lichten aan nog steeds te donker. De donkere tapijt en behang hebben ook niet beholpen. Maar aangezien ik de hele dag onderweg was, was dit geen probleem. Wat ik echt jammer vond was de allesoverheerschende rioollucht, afkomstig uit de badkamer. Dat kan echt niet en daarom beveel deze locatie of in iedere geval kamer 102 niet aan.
• Julie (8/5): Très bien - L'emplacement est très bien, on a adoré la chambre avec son côté année 70 et coloré, ça change :) Tout les équipements de la chambre étaient très bien. Le lit été dur

• 藤井 (4/5): 冒険 - ロケーションがよかった スタッフが不在 ベッドが寝にくい
• Denis (7/5): Good - Good value for money. Nice location. Very close to Zenkoji Temple..lots of restaurants around. A bit difficult to find if arriving late at night
• Gerhard (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious nice room, with large bath and good wifi.
• David (8/5): Comfortable economic digs in interesting area - Location, convenience, comfort, laundry
• Delfina (8/5): I recommend it. Just to mention more details: we were 5 and stayed in 3 rooms. One of them was too dark, poor natural li - Big rooms. Some rooms were too dark. The WiFi wasn’t working properly.
• Dorian (9/5): Recommended budget friendly stay - Really nice location in the center of Nagano Staff was very friendly. We were never bothered. There was no watercooker in the room but it was in the hallway so no problem. Entrance area of the room was very small with the opening door.
• Rasmus (7/5): Fine stay - Spacious room, bed and bathroom. Decent value for the money I'd say. Room wasn't ready when we arrived so we had to leave our luggage and return, which wasn't too bad but still an inconvenience.
• Greenberg (8/5): Very good -
• Fabio (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location from the central station, 10 minutes walk and located in the heart of the Gondo The bed was a bit short, but other than that, perfect
• Chu (7/5): Good -
• Sarah (8/5): Really enjoyable, felt sad to move on.. - The cleanliness and location of this hotel were perfect! The lack of breakfast may be an issue for some but there are plenty of places close by to get food. There was also a kettle, fridge and microwave to use.
• Jasmin (10/5): Nice bed - A very special place, beautiful room, very clean, comfortable bed.
• Colin (8/5): Weekend stay in Nagano - Being a former love hotel, the rooms and their bathrooms are bigger than you get in a business hotel. There are nearby parking lots for ¥1000 per day. The hotel is very quiet for sleeping. Easy checkin and checkout. There is an elevator which is a bonus for a three floor building. Great for luggage. We had two rooms on the third floor. Close to Zenki-ji temple and a small department store, supermarket, restaurants and acovered shopping street are just a few minutes walk away. The reverse cycle air conditioner struggled to keep both the big bathroom and the bedroom warm so we opted to keep the bathroom door shut and not heat the bathroom. In warmer seasons, this would not be an issue. OT was still fine for having a bath after washing. I recommend staying at Hotel Unicorn when in Nagano.
• Ilhan (10/5): Very kind and helpfull owner, spacious room and bathroom at just 20 minutes away from Nagano station - Very kind hotel owner who is very helpfull. We liked the spacious room with a big bathroom. There is an option to do your laundry and use the dryer, 2,5 hours later you can wear your freshly washed clothes again. There are also sufficient ammenties on the second floor, with a hot water dispender. Also the location is great, it's a 15 minute walk from Nagano station. And a few minutes walk from the Gondo subway station.
• Samuel (8/5): Very good -
• Persephoneia (6/5): Pleasant - Close to the center, cheap, clean and room was okay. The bathroom was very difficult to use, always very damp.
• Julia (8/5): Very good -
• Roger (9/5): Superb -
• Laura (9/5): Superb -
• Leon (8/5): Very good - Discount for 2 nights.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Timothy (6/5): Weird but doable, price makes it worth it - Close to gondo station, bed was comfortable and warm, large space and good value for money for a last minute trip to nagano. Seems a bit sketch, the bathroom was really cold. Very limited interaction with staff, seems like no one is around. Also baggage storage is in a totally accessible part of the building where the public could easily come and take it (if it weren’t for the fact Japan is a safe I would not have left my bags there)
• Danalyne (8/5): Very good -
• Syed (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very friendly, the location is near to a meteo station and a bus stop.
• Sebastian (8/5): Solid - Good location, paid parking nearby, spacious, bedding a bit old fashioned The AC needs some time to heat up the room
