Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a great location, being so convenient with transportation available to get anywhere you needed. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable. On the downside, the rooms were quite ordinary and showing their age, and the dining options could use a bit more variety in the breakfast department. Overall, it was a decent place to stay for the price, but there's definitely room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is fantastic with easy access to the ski field and a lovely shopping mall right next door. The rooms are spacious and offer a beautiful view of the autumn colors, but I found the air conditioning hard to control, which made things a bit uncomfortable at times. The service was professional but lacked warmth, and I felt the dining options were overpriced for the quality offered.
This hotel boasts a fantastic location, just a short distance from the Karuizawa Shinkansen station, making travel to Tokyo super easy. The staff is friendly and provides great assistance. However, the rooms could use some modernization, and the dining options need more variety, especially for breakfast. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Overall, it's a good place for value and accessibility but might need some upgrades in the room space and dining variety.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is incredible, making it convenient to access ski facilities and shopping.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location is amazing and super convenient for getting around, and the service was excellent as they helped with our dinner reservations and more.

I had a really nice stay at this hotel, which had a fantastic location, being so close to the ski fields and a shopping mall. The room was decent, featuring a large picture window overlooking a beautiful park.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a convenient location close to ski rentals and shopping outlets. The rooms were clean but a bit cramped, and the service was another story—sometimes friendly and helpful, other times rude and unresponsive. The dining wasn't great either, as the options fell short of my expectations. Overall, it was an okay experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
The hotel has a superb location, right near the ski chair lifts and outlet mall, making it super convenient. The rooms were fairly ordinary; while they had a big window, they got a bit too warm, and I had to walk a long way to get to the elevator. The service was okay, but the staff weren't very fluent in English, which made communication a bit tricky at times.
The hotel is nestled in a huge park, offering tranquility and a beautiful natural backdrop. The rooms are spacious, making it a comfortable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the ski fields and a shopping mall, making it really convenient. The cottage I stayed in had a lovely view of the lake and a spacious dining area, but the rooms felt quite outdated and lacked air conditioning, which made it uncomfortably humid. The service was okay but could use some warmth, especially when I asked for help. Overall, it was decent for the price, given the location, but improvements are definitely needed in some areas.
The hotel had a lovely location, perfect for ski enthusiasts, as it was close to the ski areas and train station. The view from my room was fantastic, but the room itself was quite dated and lacked air conditioning, which made it less cozy than I'd hoped. While the service was a bit slow and not very personable, the dining options were decent, though I wished for more variety. Overall, it was a reasonable value for money, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
