Hotels With Bar in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The Good: You cannot beat the location. Being directly connected to Nagano Station is a total game-changer, especially if you’re hauling ski gear or catching an early Shinkansen. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and the staff is incredibly professional. The Bad: The breakfast buffet is the biggest letdown. While the quality of the food is fine, the menu is extremely repetitive. If you are staying for more than two nights, you’ll find the exact same selection of eggs, bacon, and local sides every single morning. Verdict: Stay here for the convenience and the comfort, but maybe skip the breakfast add-on after day two and explore the bakeries in the attached MIDORI mall instead.

The room was decent; I stayed on a newly renovated floor and had booked a larger room, which was very comfortable. The breakfast definitely deserves praise—the setting was lovely, facing the snowy mountains (it snowed heavily during our stay), and there was a wide variety of options, highly recommended. Oh, and the only thing that needs improvement is the cleanliness; the bedsheets were a bit dirty, but overall, it's still a great place.

This hotel was the most satisfying one of my trip. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Karuizawa Station, costing around 1300 JPY. The hotel has an English style, and the rooms are spacious. The service was excellent; they delivered our luggage to our room. They also provided a 1000 JPY voucher per person, which could be used for dinner. Right behind the hotel is the quaint Ofuna Shrine, with beautiful scenery, especially with autumn in full swing.

It is a pleasure to stay at this hotel because of its cleanliness and the services it provides. Despite the fact that the property is old and needs some renovation, I am still happy to leave a very good review. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to Matsumoto station. Additionally, it offers complimentary onsen access at another hotel, with shuttle bus service included. Hotel guests should make full use of these. Reminder: To ensure your seat at the onsen, please make the reservation by 9am every day. I will stay at this hotel again when I visit Matsumoto next time.

Very satisfied! When I booked, the hotel had just opened and had no reviews yet, but I decided to take a chance on this new place, and it exceeded my expectations. The room was huge, especially for Japan – truly massive! Breakfast and service were also excellent. Karuizawa was a lot of fun!

Very decent hotel with good services from the hotel staff. Come with onsen & spa facilities as well as large size rooms and bathrooms. Less than 10 minutes car ride from the Karuizawa station, ski centre and the Prince Shopping Plaza. Hotel also provides free shuttle bus services through and forth to the Karuizawa station which conveniently accessible to the ski centre (free shuttle bus services outside the South exit of the Karuizawa station) and the Prince Shopping Plaza (stone throw from Karuizawa station).

The room was clean and the housekeeping staff would send water to the room during the evening meal. Two days of kaiseki dinner is not awkward, very looking forward to the freshness. The staff in the hall are very kind, and the students are very good at English and proactive. I appreciate the staff service in the hall very much and deserve praise! The hotel lobby is designed in a traditional style with flowers and flowers everywhere, which is like a work of art. The room design is quite old, but the maintenance is not bad.

Here’s a polished and natural-sounding review you can use: Review: Twin Line Hotel Karuizawa is a very cozy and comfortable place to stay. The architecture is beautiful, modern, and thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel is extremely clean, and everything feels well maintained. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety and great quality. I especially loved that the hotel offers free coffee, tea, and many other drinks and snacks ..such a thoughtful touch that makes the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel crew were very friendly, polite, and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Overall, a lovely hotel with great service, comfort, and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

The price is not that expensive, so we didn’t expect that much. However, everything was really great. Large and clean public onsen. The breakfast was really really brilliant - variety of food and the taste is very yummy. Only the con is a bit far from the city but it’s not our concern. Really impressed. The hotel also provides the drinking station everywhere. Free drinks and snack at the lounge too.

I booked two rooms for two nights, but due to a system glitch, one of the rooms wasn't successfully booked. Trip.com customer service then recommended another hotel. However, the next day when we arrived at the new hotel, we still couldn't check in. All payments for both rooms had been made by 10:30 AM, so they should have been reserved for us. Yet, the hotel again cited a system error and said our rooms hadn't been held. They then told us to return to the first hotel, and it was already around 11 PM at that point. I was utterly frustrated by the whole situation. Despite all this, Trip.com's customer service was very responsive and helpful, thumbs up to them.
