Hotels Near サンドパイプ（巣穴の化石） in Nagano

Went in April 2023. The hotel is walkable to the only natural hot spring facility in town. 100 for Service. Special shoutout to the service staff! Location wise, it is centrally located within Nagano, however transportation wise would be more convenient to stay at Nagano station. The hotel is quaint and quiet with decent restaurants available within the building. Appreciate the flexibility to extend my stay for one night at Hotel Kokusai 21. Local drivers know the location of the building which is convenient for people who does not speak Japanese. Booked a room for 3, appreciated that the sofa bed was set up prior to arrival (some hotels only does this after you have reached, which increases waiting time.) Working fridge. Requested for a change in kettle and they provided one swiftly despite the language barrier. The hotel lobby is also a joy to walk into daily as they provide an exhibition of a samurai celebrating boy's day in Japan (5th May) with koi flags hanging at the back. A souvenir shop is also located within the lobby for last minute shoppers. Fun fact, this souvenir shop is not more expensive than at the train station.

I should have booked ”no smoking” from the official site of the inn, but I received a ”smoking” in the reservation completion email, and I called the front desk while tilting my neck, and I received a guide that there was no non smoking room. Crying crying even though the budget is over＋ I switched to the room called J floor for 1,000 yen, and this was unexpectedly a ”hit” judgment. It was a good Nagano trip 々. ＜J Floor Features＞ Room is clean and spacious, air conditioning and futons are usually costing anime tea Although it is not a dripping type, it seems that it was developed with the manufacturer and the chitin. It is characterized by the presence of drinks. There are two kinds of coffee, multiple teas, one kind of tea ... and 5 ～ 6 kinds and there are many variety. I checked in at about 15:00 and felt that I should have enjoyed it. Also, the face washing form is not clearly cheap. The comb is also easy to use with both rough eyes and a little fine, and it is a room with a lot of happy measures for women. On the other hand, the J floor sells the good view, and the view is certainly good, but I think it is NG to ask for the beauty of nature (mountain and tree) because Nagano city itself is a city. ＜ The atmosphere of the whole hotel ＞ Because of the business hotel and the JAL series, there are many guests who seem to be business trips, and tourist guests are also more calm. Inevitably, the dining hall was also calm and quiet. ＜ Dinner ＞ 3 kinds of appetizers, fried fin soup, seafood, water dumplings, Shinshu premium beef suji steak, black fried soy sauce, almond tofu [Chinese full course] Both menus are delicious beyond the price It was not a feeling of ”excellent”, but it is arranged in the taste that everyone receives in the price that is sufficiently reached, and it is hard and delicious and the satisfaction is very high. Now there are some prefectures, and in the future, we will do it nationwide, so the restaurant here is absolutely the aim. If you say strong, it is not for those who want to peek into the dishes with young and giggling. ＜ Breakfast ＞ Japanese and Western mixed cherry blossoms with local ingredients Viking form Business hotels have a large number of items, and there is no misunderstanding in the range of eating. There are several videos that you're introducing, so please refer to them.I liked ”handmade ume-name mushroom”, ”tempura”, ”miso wae of soba fruit” and ”oyaki” privately. The dishes related to miso are using Shinshu miso and you can enjoy ”Nagano no Taste”, so I think you should try at least one kind. (I'm lost whether I can write my true sound, but it's better to eat at this hotel than eat at the outside shop) Nagano Station ～ Based on the good location between Zenko Ji Temple, I think it was a very good hotel. Next time I go sightseeing in Nagano, I will not dare to change the inn from here.

・男女共用ドミトリー 1泊（約2,700円）を複数泊で利用させていただきました。 ・主な目的は、ワーケーションと観光、となります。 [お薦めのポイント] ・2019年7月オープンの新しく綺麗なドミトリー ・連泊なら丸1日電源とWi-Fi確保して仕事できます ・長野駅5分で3000円前後はとにかく安くてありがたすぎます ~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~ ・なんと長野駅から徒歩5分、という好立地の場所に佇む「Mash Café & Bed NAGANO」さん。しかも、2019年7月にオープンされたということで、まだまだ新しくて、しかもリーズナブルなドミトリー宿泊施設となります。 ・1Fがバーカウンターやテーブル席のあるカフェラウンジ&ワークスペースとなっており、宿泊者だけでなく一般の方も利用されます。 ・まさに「旅する人と、暮らす人が、自由に集い、出会える場所を。」というお店さんのコンセプト通りですね。 ・2F･3Fが宿泊者専用の施設です。宿泊者は、電源完備のワークスペースの利用が無料で、かつドリンクバーも無料という嬉しいサービスまでついています。 ～お部屋～～～ ・今まで伺ったドミトリーの中で、結構上位の綺麗さを誇ります。さすが出来立てほやほや、ということはありますね。訪問は9月でしたが、空調の具合も程よくて好きでした。 ・室内は、ハンガー2つ、USB口の電源1つ、コンセントタイプの電源口1つ、小物置き場、と割とシンプルな構成。電子デバイスを沢山お持ちの方は電源が足りないと思いますので、予めコンセントタップをご用意されるとよいかと思います。 ・室内の電気は暗めです。ただ、動き回るのに苦労はしません。コンセント口に付属の非常用電灯みたいな感じと言えば伝わりますかね。・部屋番号ごとのロッカーはありますが、中サイズなのであまり大きなものは入れられません。貴重品のみをいれるとよいかと。ただし、各ドミトリーの下には隙間があるので、みなさんそこにキャリーなどの大きな荷物を置かれていました。 ～アメニティ～ ・特に用意はされていません。必要に応じて、歯ブラシやカミソリ、タオル、バスタオル、部屋着レンタルなどを1Fのカフェで購入できます。 ・各共用スペースには以下のものが設置されていました。こちらは無料にて利用できます。 　＊ ボディソープ／シャンプー／コンディショナー／ドライヤー／アイロン／電子レンジ／湯沸かしポット／冷蔵庫 ～お風呂～～～ ・共有のシャワースペースのみです。6室くらいありましたが、人が少ない時はお掃除が大変なせい？かわかりませんが、衛生面の関係で利用できるのは2つほどでした。 ・足ふきマットの代わりとなる珪藻土は、割と前の方の使用感が伝わりますので、気にされる方は別途タオルなどをご準備された方が良いかと思います。 ・シャワー個室は脱衣所から鍵をかけられる仕様になっているので、貴重品なども一緒にもって入れます。また、洗面台があるのも嬉しいですね。 ・共用部分にドライヤーが2つほど、洗面台が3つほどあります。平日利用ということもあったせいか、特段、馬っていて使えないことはありませんでした。 ～設備～～～～ ・シンプルながら不便を感じない、なかなか充実した設備でした。安く泊まれるドミトリーとしては、綺麗さの保たれていましたし、かなり心地よく過ごせる設備全般かと思います。（海外のドミトリーとか経験すると日本のドミトリーはほぼどれもよいです。笑　が、そんな中でもお値段と比較してもかなり良い方かと思います） ・トイレは、1Fに男女1つずつ、2Fに男性用2つ、男女共用1つ3Fに女性用が2つほどあります。ただ、FloorMapには2Fのトイレが女性マークになっていたので、その時の宿泊者数に応じてトイレの男女を入れ替えているのかもしれませんね。 ・シャワールームは、2Fに男女共用、3Fに女性専用がそれぞれあります。 ・2Fは階段かエレベーターで、3Fは基本的にエレベーターで上がります。 ・1Fのワークスペースカウンターもかなり良いです。各席に電源コンセント1つとUSB口1つずつあります。また、ドリンクバーが飲み放題なので、別途コンビニなどで調達する手間やコストもなく、持ち物の減量できる嬉しさがあります。 ～その他（個人的にとどめておこうと感じた点）～ ＊ 夜は店員さんが不在になります。 　- 宿も含めて施設にいる店員さんはカフェラウンジがオープンしている間のみが基本となるようです。それ以外の時間帯は、問い合わせは基本的にできませんので、気になることは予め確認しておかれた方が良いです。特に、1F入口の暗証番号キーはお忘れにならないように、スマホで撮影して持ちあることをお勧めします。入れなくなります笑 ＊ ドリンクバーは夜間～早朝は使えないときもあります。 　- 上記に伴い、ドリンクバーのグラスは店員さん不在の間は洗うことができないため、準備されたコップがなくなり次第、利用不可となります。恐らくお店さんとしても、衛生面から使用済みのコップをお客さんが勝手に洗って使うことは推奨されないと思いますので、どうしても・・・という場合は、ご自身で使い捨てカップなど用意されるとよいかなと思います。詳細は宿に確認されてみてください。 ＊ 連泊でもシーツ交換は有料です。 　- 連泊の場合は、シーツは何泊してもずーっと同じです。変えてほしい場合は別途500円必要となります。 ＊ 12:00-22:00は、1Fで持ち込み飲食できません。 　- 宿泊者でも、日中は1Fで持ち込み飲食はNGとなります。恐らく、カフェラウンジとして一般の方も受け入れていらっしゃっているので、持ち込みできる人とそうでない人が共存するのが難しいからではないかと。3Fに小さめですがラウンジがあるので、そこでなら持ち込み飲食可能です。また、カフェラウンジ営業時間外なら1Fでも自由に持ち込み飲食可能です。22:00以降に1Fで近くで購入してきたものを広げて酒盛りをするのはOKということです。 ＊ チェックアウト10:00は守りましょう。 　- チェックアウト10:00は絶対です。1Fのワークスペースもチェックアウト日の10:00以降は一切使えなくなりますので、お仕事利用される方は要注意です。連泊日の場合は問題なく継続して利用可能です。 ＊ 割とシャープな対応されることも。 　- 常連さんや店員さんと仲良くなられた方にとっては結構な天国だと思います。常に笑って接してくださいます。 　- それ以外の場合は、良くも悪くも機械的な印象があります。他での笑顔を見ている分、逆にちょっと対応がシャープだなぁとすら感じる場面もありました。忙しいタイミングに話しかけてしまったのかわかりませんが、特に悪いことや粗相をした記憶もないので「なんか、すいません・・・」と小さく心の中でつぶやいておきましたm(_ _)m 　- 安く泊まれる宿としての機能を求めていれば、特に気になることもないかと思いますが、そのギャップもあるかも、くらいに構えておいて損はないかと思います。笑　- とはいえ、受け入れ態勢自体はあるようですので、むしろ、ご自身から仲良く話しかけたら楽

Very close to Nagano Station. You exit out of the station. Find the overpass that takes you across to Don Quijote Discount Store. There is an escalator that takes you down to the street level. Turn right. You'll walk past the Alpico Bus Ticket Office. This is where you buy the bus tickets to go to the three shrines in Togakushi (bus number 70, approximately one bus per hour). Keep walking until you see a Chinese restaurant. The hotel is the next building. We had the standard twin room. Room size is OK as expected. The decor in our room more than made up for it. That was a really nice surprise. I love Fujisan and wood-block prints and we were going to visit Hokusai Museum in nearby Obuse the next day! Breakfast area is in front of the lifts. The hotel has a business hotel feel to it. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast (probably my second favourite). Of all the places we stayed in on this trip, this is the only place with noodles, five grain rice and Asian greens. The Asian greens were served at room temperature with some special sauce, not plain. The sweet bread roll was very yummy. And if I remembered correctly, it even had apple cider vinegar! It also seemed that if you needed to, you could take breakfast with you as the hotel provided takeaway containers. The soup was already in takeaway containers. We definitely need more than two nights to explore Nagano!

Nice & cosy hotel that provides free tasty soba noodles every night. There’s also free coffee machine at the lobby. The onsen is great & there’s even free ice cream at night and free yakult drinks in the morning. We also washed our clothes using the washing machines at the onsen area. There is a charge of 100 yen for using the dryer for 20 mins which I personally feel it’s reasonably priced. Will stay in this hotel again!

JR長野駅からすぐの場所にあり雨天時は地下通路が使えるので傘いらずです。東急百貨店や駅ビルも隣接、すぐ隣に農協の売店もあり地元のリンゴや野菜を安く変えました。部屋は明るくて広く清潔感があり、駅前にもかかわらず静かで快適でした。朝食が品数が多く味付けもよく美味しくいただきました。全国旅行割の活用でお得に宿泊できましたが、次回も長野での宿泊ならここを選びたいと思います。

The room was huge for a Japanese hotel.. conveniently linked to the train station was a bonus..friendly front desk staff..m

Thank you for your help during the Obuse Marathon. It was a short walk from Nagano Station, and the front desk was calm, spacious, and well-designed, and the staff were polite and attentive, alleviating my anxiety during my trip. There is a 7-Eleven nearby. Although facing the road, the sound of cars did not echo into the room. On the day of the marathon race, we were able to quickly store our luggage and check out in the middle of the night, which was very helpful. The room was clean and quiet, and the view overlooking Nagano Station was great, allowing me to rest.

It's only a 5-minute walk from Nagano Station, which is very convenient. The hotel is a bit old, but the room has been renovated, so it's OK. The space is spacious, and there is no problem opening two large luggages. There is also a small sofa in the corner of the room to sit. The public bath and the daily refreshments, ice cream, etc. are very good. The only thing is that there is only one washing and drying machine, which is too few, and you have to queue up to use it.

We have been traveling around the world for the past two years and we have stayed in many hotels. I have never written a bad review of a hotel before. This is the reason I think you should reconsider your reservation at the Mecure hotel and spa. It’s a long review, but I believe it is helpful for future travelers. We have been traveling around Japan for the past three months and we have stayed in numerous hotels in numerous cities. We absolutely love Japan and we have no complaints for any of the other hotels that we have stayed in. However, the Mecure Hotel Resort and Spa does not come close to meeting our expectations. It is the only hotel where no staff greeted us upon arrival to help with luggage. It is the only hotel that didn’t allow us to check in one hour early. Even though we know that there was only a 5-10% occupancy rate (based on the cars in the parking lot), they would not allow us to go to our room at 2 PM. - we had to wait until 3 p.m. They even kept the keys from us and we had to wait in line again to pick them up at 3 PM. One would think that they would have the welcome lounge open for people to wait for their rooms, but it doesn’t open until 3 PM. We had to lock up our luggage in order to keep it there for the hour. It was the only hotel that made us pay for ice. I did get a cup of ice in the lounge (3 cubes), but they told us we couldn’t bring it to our room. They offered us a welcome drink, but they wanted me to access the coupon on my phone on my Accor account yet they had the written coupon right there in front of them. Made no sense! Breakfast is only served from 7 AM until 9:30 AM, with the last orders being taken at 9 AM. For those of us who don’t like to get up early in the morning, that is a detrimental aspect of this hotel. We do a lot of research before we book a room at any hotel. We chose the classic twin room with a sofa bed and the mountain view. It very specifically listed “Mountain View,” and we knew we wanted that view based on our examination of Google maps of the hotel. When we arrived at our room, we looked out to see the parking lot and then the highway, and then about 5 to 7 miles in the distance we saw some mountains (see pictures below). We went downstairs to request a room change to the side that looked at the beautiful mountains and their response was “every room has a Mountain View.” That was not acceptable for us, so we had to push until they moved our room. Interestingly, the room they moved us to had a map of the mountain range that is the view. There was no such mountain map in the other room. We just examined the hotels website, and now none of the rooms have Mountain View listed, except for the junior suite. Our guess is that too many people complained when they were put in the rooms that have a view of the mountains 5 to 7 miles away. The bathroom is very very small. The furniture is adequate at best. The carpets are incredibly dirty. There are stains everywhere in the hallways and in the rooms
