THE CELECTON Matsumoto
8/10 Good
"Rooms are clean, enough space for 2 persons and luggages (we rent 2 rooms for a family of 3).Beds are comfy. We can see the castle through the window of our rooms Staffs are polite. The location is convenient 10mn walking from the train station and ~10mn to the Matsumoto castle and the main street and the old town. The hotel has a small bath for men & women. Nothing to complain about."
"Great location and ski in ski out. Small but comfortable room for family of 4, Onsen is a blessing! It’s a little tired, super busy hotel. Outrageously priced buffet dinner, go elsewhere. Free shuttle makes that easy, but make sure you book all offsite options. "
"Need to walk quite a distance from Nagano Station, along the way, you will find Family Mart and Lawson. A quiet and peaceful street in the morning. The view was good from the breakfast area, but my room view is facing the cemetery, though. The overall hotel vibe gives me a 90s feel, but it's clean and tidy. I like their mini bar as they fill it with many complimentary drinks. "
"They serve free ramen or ice cream every day from 8-10 and it was extremely convenient getting back from a day of exploring and having that option at the hotel instead of having to look for food."
