Spannender Aufenthalt
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena y el precio es bajo

Cons:

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

Pros:

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).

Cons:

Nulla

Top hotel!
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Weinig faciliteiten maar water en koffie/thee is voldoende. Eigenaar goed bereikbaar. .

Pros:

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

Cons:

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.

Cute themed-rooms right next to the shoutengai!
Pros:

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!

Cons:

Wifi was a little spotty sometimes but my mobile data worked fine inside the building.

Pros:

The apartment compared to Japanese standards was huge. Separate toilet room and separate bath room. Close to Zenkoji. Apartment was clean and bed comfortable.

Cons:

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.

Sitio curioso pero cómodo
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.
