We stayed at Kaneki Hotel for two nights. The host was polite and friendly, and personally welcomed us with the room key. The hotel is located in a lovely onsen town, and one of the highlights of our stay was being given a key that allowed us access to the nine public onsen around the town. This was the main reason we chose to stay here, and it made for a wonderful experience.

The hotel itself is quite old, which adds to its traditional charm, although some facilities do show their age. The toilet assigned to our room was located outside the room, which we hadn't expected, and there was a slight unpleasant smell in that area.

- staff: after finding all local restaurants full, the kind host lady prepared us two japanese curries and brought it up to our room - thank you! - facilities: we got the key and the map to all the local onsen baths which were amazing. the room included bathing robe, onsen towel and a basket also. - room: traditional japanese style room, clean and comfortable. the shower is an onsen style, which is great. - location: great spot to see the snow monkey park and bus stops for transfers.

- restaurants: we arrived around 19.00 in the evening and there were no restaurants around with availability. we have walked everywhere and were turned away. - facilities: a beautiful but old house. especially the gas heater in our room was a problem, it smelled badly and it could get quite cold in the rooms.

I had a fantastic stay here in Nagano. The room was very comfortable, and I had my own toilet with a shared bathroom. The place was quiet, peaceful, and had a very nice homestay feeling. I really enjoyed staying here. It is great value for money and perfect for budget travelers like me. I stayed on the top floor, and there was a lift, which was very convenient. I would definitely come back again!
