Great location—loved having a Lawson right downstairs!
I didn’t realize Big Echo was on the 4th floor; otherwise, I would’ve planned to go for karaoke. But I already had a movie scheduled, so there wasn’t enough time.
The view was exactly what I was hoping for. I really enjoy staying in places with windows that offer such a nice view.
The only downside was the washing machine. It was quite slow and required coins. I even had to buy drinks from the vending machine just to get enough 100-yen coins for laundry.
I guess this kind of old-style machine is still common in Japanese hotels. Unlike the newer machines in China and Thailand that only take about 30 minutes to wash and another 20–30 minutes to dry (with separate machines), this one took significantly longer.
Overall, it was a good stay. I slept really well—even overslept a bit! Probably because I had spent the whole day snowboarding and was completely exhausted.
6/8
Response from Property: Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to provide us with your detailed feedback. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed our excellent location as well as the nearby convenience stores and karaoke.On the other hand, we apologize for the inconvenience regarding the washing machine. Thank you for your kind words.There are several reasons why it takes so long for you to use our old washing machine and the fact that there are only two washing machines . We will work on improving the situation little by little.However, we appreciate your kind words that your stay was good overall. We are glad that our guests were able to get a good rest after a tiring day of snowboarding. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back again. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Strategic location in the town area.
Walking distance near to Nagano Station.
Easy walk around to get food or even shopping
All the amenities placed at the lobby area, any time replenish when needed easily.
The space of the room not too big or small.... Good...

Consistent service and offerings throughout the Sotetsu hotels across Japan. You check-in via the machine, pick up your amenities; they have the best and extensive range and go to your tiny room.
Location wise, it is next to a 3-level Don Quijote and connected to Nagano station via the foot bridge on the 2nd floor.
Response from Property: Thank you for your interest in our hotel.We are honored to receive a perfect score in all categories. We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with everything from the location to the amenities. We hope to have the opportunity to see you again!

Sotetsu is my go to chain for a basic and fuss free hotel. The location is great, just opposite Nagano Station and there’s a Lawson just below the hotel, perfect for late night snacks shopping. Room is basic but comfortable,
