Hotels With Bar in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

This is a perfect spot in Nagano if you want to take a break before heading to other parts such as Hakuba for skiing . It is literally right at the station and connected via MIDORI where you can buy groceries and with lots of restaurants. Due to fight delay, we arrived late at night at around 10pm. MIDORI shops were all closed but ht path to hotel still open and we can still find plenty of cafes nearby. It has reserved Alpico bus to Hakuba right at hotel or you may go to the regular bus stop at bus station 26 for higher frequency of bus service. Will definitely stay here again if we need to stop over at Nagano. Though the hotel is not new, it’s spacious and clean enough for a comfortable stay .

Spacious rooms with beautiful mountain views. Free parking with a large parking area. The onsen is big and very relaxing. The staff are helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

This hotel has a really cool design. The room was small but had everything you needed, though there wasn't enough space to open two large suitcases. A pleasant surprise was their happy hour in the evening, and after 9:15 PM, they opened a 'mystery room' with free drinks and snacks – that was a lot of fun! I was lucky enough to meet a staff member who spoke Cantonese; their service was excellent and very friendly. The location is also quite good, about a 12-minute walk from the JR station.

I brought my own snowboard to Karuizawa. It's a 70-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station to JR Karuizawa Station. The Shinkansen luggage racks have straps to secure snowboards. After exiting the station, head to the hotel service center (open until 7 PM) located on the far right of the 7/11 convenience store at the South Exit (Pic 7). You can drop off your luggage there and then explore the Plaza unencumbered. Take the brown hotel shuttle bus to B21, where The Prince is located, every hour on the hour and half-hour. Your luggage will already be in your room, but snowboards are not allowed inside. Each day, I'd take my own snowboard on the brown bus to the gondola at the East Building. You can buy ski passes and rent equipment there. Ski pass prices are shown in Pic 6. Only guests staying in the East Building can use the hotel's lockers for ski equipment. The West Building also has a gondola, but it requires a short walk. You can't enter the hotel wearing ski boots, but the Makibi restaurant seems to be an exception. After skiing, take the green bus back to the hotel. Of the two onsen, Hongye Bisen has newer facilities and better views from the outdoor bath. All Prince Hotel restaurants require reservations made via QR code. Pics 4 and 5 show the breakfast at the main building, which is high quality and delicious. From 10 AM to 8 PM, you can enjoy unlimited soft drinks in the bar area. Finally, use the luggage delivery service when checking out. I think The Prince offers the best value for money.

I'm a frequent guest, haha! The hotel is always kept clean, and they're accommodating with late check-ins, so I have no complaints at all. The complimentary drink bar from 10 PM to 10 AM was also a great bonus!

Hotel is located about 15 mins from the train station. There’s shuttle bus provided every half hour from the station. Stores closes between 8-9pm so nothing much at night. Good for relaxation

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 hotel service was excellent. A very experienced gentleman greeted me upon check-in. Although we didn't speak the language, I learned about all the hotel's information and facilities. The free public onsen is open 24 hours, and they even reminded me of the changed breakfast hours. I also managed to book a private onsen room with them. We checked in on a Monday, and the hotel wasn't crowded, so booking a private onsen room was easy. A 45-minute session cost only 1000 yen, which was very friendly to hotel guests. Furthermore, we arrived very late, and the hotel had already turned down the bed, which was fantastic! 👍🏻 I barely had to unpack anything; after changing and soaking in the onsen, I could seamlessly transition to sleep. This was my best night in Japan! 😆😆 (Except for the slight woody smell from the wooden room, which I found a little unusual)

We liked much the good surrounding in front of the hotel and japanese futons. We booked two japanese style rooms with toilet. Onsen is right there on 2nd floor. It's about 500metres from Kuppa bridge. The staffs were also really nice and kind. We loved their lot of japanese side dishes for breakfast.

The hotel is located in the old Ginza Center. A taxi ride to the hotel at night cost us about 1100 yen. The lobby is on the second floor, with restaurants and shops on the first floor. We arrived at night and took the elevator to the second floor to check-in. The staff were all very enthusiastic. When we asked for dinner recommendations, they eagerly suggested places and even offered us hotel discount coupons. The lobby's decor perfectly matched the charming cabin style, creating a very comfortable ambiance. The cabin-style room decor was beautiful and cozy. It felt very spacious; we could open two 28-inch suitcases on the floor without any issues getting around. The room had a shower, no bathtub. We stayed in D6, and the view outside the window was lovely. It wasn't too close to neighbors and there wasn't much disturbance. We tried the hotel's Japanese breakfast one day, priced at 2200 yen per person. It was very exquisite and delicious. Opposite the hotel is the red-roofed St. Paul's Catholic Church. If you want to go to the Prince Hotel Outlet, it's about a 30-minute walk or a 7-10 minute taxi ride. Staying at this hotel is more convenient if you're self-driving or using taxis, which is what we did for transportation. A taxi ride to the Christmas illumination event next to Hoshino Resorts cost about 3500 yen.
