Being a former love hotel, the rooms and their bathrooms are bigger than you get in a business hotel. There are nearby parking lots for ¥1000 per day. The hotel is very quiet for sleeping. Easy checkin and checkout. There is an elevator which is a bonus for a three floor building. Great for luggage. We had two rooms on the third floor. Close to Zenki-ji temple and a small department store, supermarket, restaurants and acovered shopping street are just a few minutes walk away.

The reverse cycle air conditioner struggled to keep both the big bathroom and the bedroom warm so we opted to keep the bathroom door shut and not heat the bathroom. In warmer seasons, this would not be an issue. OT was still fine for having a bath after washing. I recommend staying at Hotel Unicorn when in Nagano.

1/ location, gondo IS rapidly accessible from center Nagano, you have all you want near the hotel. The area IS safe even late AT night. Zenkoji is at short walk. 2/ hotel: small, intimate, cozy, the japanese room WE had was certainly one of the best rooms i had in my 50+ trips (and 3 Time in japan). It looks and feels authentic, large, comfy, awesome. 3/ Price: you won't find this Price with same quality. You don't need more to be happy, believe me. 4/ communication: the manager was very reactive by messages and by phone. We stored ou luggage before checkin and After check out.

Nothing. Just Book this hotel. Try to get the japanese room.

Very kind hotel owner who is very helpfull. We liked the spacious room with a big bathroom. There is an option to do your laundry and use the dryer, 2,5 hours later you can wear your freshly washed clothes again. There are also sufficient ammenties on the second floor, with a hot water dispender. Also the location is great, it's a 15 minute walk from Nagano station. And a few minutes walk from the Gondo subway station.

This little hotel was amazing to stay at. Not only was the manager/owner very hospitable, but all the facilities were amazing too. The bed was large, the bathroom was spacious, it was very close to Nagano station and lots of great cafes and restaurants. Would come back and stay here again!

Everything was perfect!

Really nice location in the center of Nagano Staff was very friendly. We were never bothered.

There was no watercooker in the room but it was in the hallway so no problem. Entrance area of the room was very small with the opening door.

Very calm, you cannot hear noise from outside of from other rooms ! The room was big, the bathroom as well. Good localisation. I would recommend!

Yes, it's old looking, probably a former love hotel now hotel, but to me it was funny looking and the place was comfortable so I didn't mind.

2mins walk from Gondo station. Great customer service as they allowed me to check-in 3hrs before check-in time.

The rooftop was rather dirty and there was only one washing machine. The toilet is really small and gets really stuffy after a few mins.

The cleanliness and location of this hotel were perfect!

The lack of breakfast may be an issue for some but there are plenty of places close by to get food. There was also a kettle, fridge and microwave to use.

I really enjoyed my stay at hotel unicorn! Great place great location ,,,very large clean room very charming. and quiet.. I would recommend to all who love a place with character and charm.

i liked everything!

Comfortable hotel with unique design in quiet neighbourhood; very close to covered shopping mall with food options Proprietor was very helpful in offering me a room that suited me

15/20 mins walk from station maybe easier on bus with bags
