Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 255 reviews
Hotel Yama is a 3-star hotel in central Nagano, a 10-minute walk from Zenkoji Temple, with an old-style vibe. Guests frequently mention the low price in reviews.
Reviews across sites praise the friendly front desk staff and free laundry machines. Beds are soft and soundproofing works well. It's 15-20 minutes walk from Nagano Station, but convenient for Zenkoji visitors. Plenty of izakayas and pubs nearby make late check-ins easy.
However, some note narrow rooms, moldy bathrooms, cigarette smells, and noise due to the aged facilities. Bathrooms feel cold in winter.
Suits budget travelers seeking basic lodging for Nagano sightseeing or business trips.
