    Perfect location from the central station, 10 minutes walk and located in the heart of the Gondo

    The bed was a bit short, but other than that, perfect

    A very special place, beautiful room, very clean, comfortable bed.

    8ColinPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Being a former love hotel, the rooms and their bathrooms are bigger than you get in a business hotel. There are nearby parking lots for ¥1000 per day. The hotel is very quiet for sleeping. Easy checkin and checkout. There is an elevator which is a bonus for a three floor building. Great for luggage. We had two rooms on the third floor. Close to Zenki-ji temple and a small department store, supermarket, restaurants and acovered shopping street are just a few minutes walk away.

    The reverse cycle air conditioner struggled to keep both the big bathroom and the bedroom warm so we opted to keep the bathroom door shut and not heat the bathroom. In warmer seasons, this would not be an issue. OT was still fine for having a bath after washing. I recommend staying at Hotel Unicorn when in Nagano.

    Very kind hotel owner who is very helpfull. We liked the spacious room with a big bathroom. There is an option to do your laundry and use the dryer, 2,5 hours later you can wear your freshly washed clothes again.There are also sufficient ammenties on the second floor, with a hot water dispender. Also the location is great, it's a 15 minute walk from Nagano station. And a few minutes walk from the Gondo subway station.

    6PersephoneiaPosted on: 2-15-2025

    Close to the center, cheap, clean and room was okay.

    The bathroom was very difficult to use, always very damp.

    6TimothyPosted on: 1-13-2025

    Close to gondo station, bed was comfortable and warm, large space and good value for money for a last minute trip to nagano.

    Seems a bit sketch, the bathroom was really cold. Very limited interaction with staff, seems like no one is around. Also baggage storage is in a totally accessible part of the building where the public could easily come and take it (if it weren’t for the fact Japan is a safe I would not have left my bags there)

    10SyedPosted on: 1-5-2025

    The staff is very friendly, the location is near to a meteo station and a bus stop.

    8SebastianPosted on: 1-3-2025

    Good location, paid parking nearby, spacious, bedding a bit old fashioned

    The AC needs some time to heat up the room

    10YasminPosted on: 11-26-2024

    This little hotel was amazing to stay at. Not only was the manager/owner very hospitable, but all the facilities were amazing too. The bed was large, the bathroom was spacious, it was very close to Nagano station and lots of great cafes and restaurants. Would come back and stay here again!

    Everything was perfect!

    1/ location, gondo IS rapidly accessible from center Nagano, you have all you want near the hotel. The area IS safe even late AT night. Zenkoji is at short walk.2/ hotel: small, intimate, cozy, the japanese room WE had was certainly one of the best rooms i had in my 50+ trips (and 3 Time in japan). It looks and feels authentic, large, comfy, awesome. 3/ Price: you won't find this Price with same quality. You don't need more to be happy, believe me.4/ communication: the manager was very reactive by messages and by phone. We stored ou luggage before checkin and After check out.

    Nothing. Just Book this hotel. Try to get the japanese room.

    Clean room quite close to a good selection of small restaurants

    Was a bit overpriced for such an old room. Very dated furnishing. Tired looking. Needs an overhaul.

    8EstellePosted on: 10-27-2024

    Very calm, you cannot hear noise from outside of from other rooms ! The room was big, the bathroom as well. Good localisation. I would recommend!

    Yes, it's old looking, probably a former love hotel now hotel, but to me it was funny looking and the place was comfortable so I didn't mind.

    7KevinPosted on: 9-8-2024

    Affordable, big room, clean amenities, check in was smooth

    The luggage room was in front of the hotel and fully accessible to the public. The hotel is a bid old and has a bit of a sketchy vibe.

    8KatePosted on: 4-19-2024

    Comfortable hotel with unique design in quiet neighbourhood; very close to covered shopping mall with food options Proprietor was very helpful in offering me a room that suited me

    15/20 mins walk from station maybe easier on bus with bags

    10DannyPosted on: 3-23-2024

    It has a very 70's aesthetic and charm to it, like a mini Overlook Hotel from The Shining.The bed has lighting controls built into the bed head for convenient light dimming and control.

    The elevator door closes quickly, but that's just me nitpicking.

    7ClairePosted on: 1-29-2024

    Great value for money, incredibly spacious room and quiet location. The staff were available to answer my questions too.

    The room itself felt outdated but it was clean. It was quite cold when we checked in.
