Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were lovely with spectacular countryside views, although lacking cooking facilities. The staff was kind, friendly, and helpful. The location was excellent for accessing Hakuba town, just steps away from incredible powder. The dining experience offered a variety of great food, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with spectacular countryside views but could use some renovations. The service is a mix of kindness and occasional rudeness, while the location is convenient with easy access to Hakuba town and right at the skiing area. The dining options are vast, although the quality varies. The facilities are sufficient but have room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and well-furnished, although they reeked of smoke which was a downside. The service was very accommodating, but some staff members were unfriendly. The location was excellent, offering beautiful views of the countryside. The dining experience was not the best, with a lack of variety in the menu.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with spectacular countryside views, but lacking cooking facilities. The Twin rooms are a great find in Japanese hotels. The service is friendly and accommodating, although some staff appeared disinterested. The location is excellent with easy access to Hakuba town, but public transport is limited. The dining options are varied, with a focus on Mediterranean dishes. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience as I enjoyed the lovely room views of the countryside but struggled with the lack of cooking facilities. The easy access to Hakuba town by public transport was a major plus, yet dealing with rudeness while trying to communicate in English was a downside.
