    Nothing

    Location - so easy to access Narai-juku and the post town walking paths via the adjacent station.

    The air conditioner is located right above the bed, its a bit unsightly, but thats all.

    Located right across from the train station, from which is a short train ride to narai-juku. There is a simple free breakfast service with breads too.

    everything was perfect

    The hotel was perfect for our needs! We stayed here after hiking the Nakasendo Trail. Communication was great since before the check-in process, when i was inquiring about my luggage forwarding. My luggage was already in our room when we arrived. We stayed for only one night, but we slept very well and had a wonderful shower. The water is very hot, and with a strong pressure, amenities are provided in the room and even yukatas. The bed was firm. There was an additional blanket, which was great (but not needed, just personal preference). The heater in the room was very effective, and we stayed warm and cosy. Free small breakfast available (bread, butter, jam, yogurt, coffee and tea). It was just what we needed before heading to our next destination in Japan. Shiojiri is a great quick stop, and the hotels location is very convenient. There are many great izakayas and restaurants nearby, too! I'd definitely recommend it.

    All good.

    This is a simple hotel great for one night. It was perfect after walking. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful despite limited English. A small breakfast of yoghurt, toast and coffee was included in the bargain price and started at 5.30am. It was opposite the station. .

    Great base at Shiojiri for Nakasendo start

    Rooms are ready from 4pm, but this is not a problem. I left my bag and rode the train to explore Lake Suwa.

    The location is just across the JR Shiojiri Station. Makes for a good base as it is easy to visit the neighboring towns via train. The staff were helpful and allowed me to leave my bag while my room was being prepared (I arrived early). They also brought it up it up to my room once done. They also try to provide English translations to their rules and regulations. Room was comfortable for its size (I was backpacking so I did not have luggage to spread. Room size would be cramped, otherwise). This hotel is also like a time capsule but kept very clean. It was pretty good for a night's stay. Breakfast was free and consisted of bread, yogurt, butter, select jams, tea, and coffee.

    The clothes were still very damp after dryer of 30 mins. We were not allowed to use the washer and dryer after 10pm.

    Love the location, just in front of JR Shiojiri station. Love the breakfast, though simple with 2 bread, yougurt and coffee for self service. Love the staff for their hospitality and help in forwarding our luggage. Can do laundry with dryer.

    Nothing it was all good

    Breakfast was coffee, toast and yoghurt which was perfect. Fantastic spot right across the road from the train station and only 25 minutes by local train to the feudal town of Narai. Really cheap accommodation with an ensuite and super clean. I will be back.

    A bit of a walk to the main shopping area.

    Literally across the road from Shiojiri station. Had laundry facilities and vending machines inside. Staff were lovely.
