Top Saisho-in Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel New Nagano NeXT

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Hotel is nice and staff are pleasant. The breakfast includes a limited selection from the Wendy's menu, but the potatoes servers in the buffet are awesome and crispy delicious. Only downfall is the parking which is convenient, but does not offer in and out options. I recommend staying here."

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome, friendly staff, and overall atmosphere. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient, just a block away from the train station, making it very easy to explore. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant, and their attention to detail really stood out. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and enjoyable place to stay!"

Mercure Nagano Matsushiro Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely, lovely place. Easily the most pleasant stay in our 4 week stay in Japan. Everything's designed to make feel you welcome and have an unforgettable experience. Staff is extremely helpful, gentle and welcoming. Breakfast buffet is something special, an experience worth living, honestly. For us the only downside is that our room felt very old, it could use a slight renovation, or maybe it's just meant to be like that. Also it's all very family friendly, and they have a shuttle service that takes you from and to Nagano station, which is really helpful. A lovely, lovely place indeed."
