forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.21 out of 5 (3,758 reviews). The 24-square-meter twin rooms have room to spare even with an extra bed added to the two beds, so families can spread out comfortably. Guests say their children were delighted by the premium-brand shower heads and hair dryers in the communal bath. Do note, though, that the shower water in the communal bath can be lukewarm at first and may take a while to heat up properly.

Overview
Hotel Nagano Avenue stands in the city center, within walking distance of Nagano Station. Rooms range from singles to twins, and there are family rooms - just 2 of them - where a pair of low beds sits beyond a tatami space.

Breakfast is a buffet in the restaurant, half price for elementary school children and free for children under school age. The hotel also has a sauna and bath, plus a manga library.

The single and semi-double rooms are 13.5 square meters, the double rooms 15 square meters, the compact twin rooms 18 square meters and the twin rooms 24 square meters, and all of them have a bath and toilet. Twin rooms take 1 to 3 guests, and Rakuten Travel also lists a plan for 3 guests with an extra bed added. The easiest choice for families with children is the 27-square-meter family room: beyond a tatami space that you step up onto after taking off your shoes, there is a flooring area with two low beds, each 120 centimeters wide. You can sit on the floor, and because the beds are low, the layout suits children at the age when rolling over and restless sleep are a worry. Note, though, that there are only 2 family rooms.
