Mash Café & Bed NAGANO - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"You have to try their savery salad and the authentic pizza. Just a dilicious meal. The staff was always very kind with me. All great!"

Nagano Linden Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is clean and staff were polite with us. They kept our luggage after we did check out and there was room cleaning every day. A good perk is the free coffee from a machine in the lobby during the morning. The location is great, very close to the train station and multiple restaurants. The hotel has an old look though and there’s just one elevator for all the floors making it busy during check-out hours. The internet sometimes failed us and there were no free tv channels. "
