Sotetsu Fresa Inn Nagano-Ueda
10/10 Excellent
"Very easy to stay there. Smooth experience. Rooms are neat, clean and quiet. My only wish is that Japanese hotels gave a separate bed sheet instead of only a futon. We get too hot and prefer a single sheet."
"Fantastic location. Easy to walk to Nagano station. Easy walk to Zenkoji. It is a Japanese hotel so it is a small room. Don't expect western size. No issues with it at all. "
"Hotel Metropolitan Nagano is directly connected from Nagano Station which is a gateway to lots of sightseeing spots. Service was impeccable, breakfast abundant and scrumptious, location so central to shopping and dining.
The only thing I wish this hotel would have is a spa with public bath/sauna. With cold winter in Nagano, hot bath would make the stay perfect. Otherwise, I enjoyed everything about my stay at this hotel. "
"we stayed 3 Nights, the hotel looks beautiful. The staff are nice. but one thing i disappointed because we booked the rooms more than 2 months ago but they arranged our 2 rooms in different blocks and different levels and made us feel uncomfortable while we were family trips. "
