Matsumoto Wellton Hotel

Vanaf het station was het ongeveer 15 minuten lopen. Hoewel de faciliteit oud is, vond ik dat het goed onderhouden was. Er is slechts één AC100V-stopcontact. Er was een 3-polige aftakking, maar afhankelijk van de adapter die je had aangesloten, verstoorde deze de schakelaar ernaast, wat erg onaangenaam was.

Hoewel het gebouw relatief oud is en ver weg van het station en de bezienswaardigheden, is de kamer groot en is de accommodatie redelijk goed.

Disappointing Stay at Matsumoto Welton Hotel I wouldn’t recommend staying at Matsumoto Welton Hotel if you’re visiting Nagano. My experience was far from pleasant, and for the price charged, the service and amenities were extremely underwhelming. Firstly, the location is inconvenient, tucked away from the main roads and key attractions, making access difficult. To make things worse, they charge ¥750 per night for parking, which feels unreasonable considering the parking area isn’t even close to the hotel entrance. The room size is a major issue—it’s incredibly small and poorly designed. If one person is standing or sitting on the floor, there’s no way for another person to move around unless someone gets into the bed first. The TV is tiny, and the room had a noticeable unpleasant smell. Additionally, none of the lights work unless you insert the key into the keyhole, so if you don’t have a flashlight, you’ll struggle in the dark upon entering. Comfort was also lacking. Some areas of the floor were left uncovered by the mat, making it freezing cold if you’re not wearing slippers. The washlet was the cheapest and most basic I’ve seen in Japan, which was surprising given the hotel’s pricing. Another major issue was the noise level. The rooms were not soundproof at all, and I could clearly hear people talking and moving outside. To make matters worse, the air conditioner was extremely noisy, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. The breakfast was available from 6:30 AM to 8:45 AM and was just okay—nothing special, but not the worst part of the stay. However, considering the overall experience, it didn’t make up for the hotel’s shortcomings. In summary, Matsumoto Welton Hotel fails to justify its cost. Between the poor location, overpriced parking, cramped and uncomfortable rooms, lack of proper insulation from noise, and underwhelming amenities, I would strongly advise looking for alternative accommodations if you’re planning a trip to Nagano.

The hotel is located approximately 20 minutes by foot from the train station on “the other side of the tracks”. I booked a non smoking room.  It had been smoked in recently. The washroom/bathroom/toilet also had an unusual, unidentifiable odour.  I kept the window open when I was there to let breathable air in.  Inexpensive laundry facilities available.  Breakfast was decent for the price of the accommodation .

A good value hotel on the edge of town about 10mins walk to station and main district. Complimentary breakfast. Polite and efficient service. Clean rooms. Comfortable beds.

Good location.Very quiet hotel
