Furano Prince Hotel

This is our second stay here, the previous one was in 2019. In 2019, we came during winter but now we came during summer. The hotel looks the same, the room that we stayed in is also identical to the one we stayed in 2019. The room is well-kept and offers a view of the ski resort. No snow this time though.
The resort has a great onsen and the Ningle Terrace is nearby.

Hotel right on the snow, location couldn't be better. Buffet breakfast had a wide selection and quality food. Ski hire and lift tickets available at hotel. Rooms older but clean and comfortable

開業から半世紀近く経っているようで、
経年劣化的なものを感じざるを得ないところはありますが、綺麗で過ごしやすいホテルだと思います。なによりあの三角屋根がとても好きです。

Fascinating and nice atmosphere; it reminded me of the good old times, back in the 70’s and 80’s, when I spent every single winter skiing in norther Italy, with my parents first, and then with my friends. And this is also the first set back, as the rooms are somewhat outdated and need some refurbishment, although there is not a singles speck of dust anywhere as Japanese people are very attentive when it comes to hygiene.
The location is astonishing, just on the sky slopes. All you have to do is just get your skis on and ride them straight out of the lobby!
Try and get some of the packages they offer, including dinner and skipass, as the hotel is somewhat out of the town and chances are that you are not really in the mood to venture out in the cold to eat your meal; if not included, the buffet can be somewhat expensive, in the range of over €40. The buffet itself is good enough but does not vary over the days; as a result, you might end up a little bored with food if you plan to stay for a long vacation.
The skis and the whole equipment can be rented and the service is very attentive and efficient. Do not bother to bring your own stuff unless you really hate Salomon (like I do), as it is the only type of equipment that they feature. I managed to get along with it … by the way. My calf will reprimand me for the next six months but I will survive.
Personnel is really friendly and helpful and although not everyone speaks English they will do their best to communicate as efficiently as possible.
There are no proper areas where you can relax and this is really a pity; the two rooms with he huge glass panes are only for restaurant use and the only other public area is occupied by an always almost empty bar. The lobby only features few benches and sofas but even if you manage to conquer one, your reading will be disturbed by the chilly wind gusts coming from the constantly opening and closing of the main door.
The SPA is dreadful … small and the water if full of chlorine. Necessary, I know, when you have some many people in such a small place but my sensitive skin detected immediately.

To get to this hotel you get the bus from Furano Station and make sure it goes to Furano Prince Hotel, as announcements will be made along the way where the bus is stopping.
When we arrived it looked interesting but a bit old. We went to reception to check in and we were assisted by a Trainee and they were quite helpful and did everything to assist us. They did not get upset when one of our group wanted to change to the New Prince Hotel and then they changed their mind to stay at the Prince Hotel instead. This staff member states professional all way and they even assisted us with the time of the shuttle bus to the New Prince Hotel.
At one stage we decided to ask the Bell Captain who was also a Trainee about the bus ,one of us asked and they said the shuttle bus to New Prince Hotel was at 6:30pm not 5:45pm. I was a bit surprised and decided to confirm with them the time and the Bell Captain Trainee became annoyed and raised their voice and told us to go to wait for the shuttle bus at the bus stop. We then went over to reception to confirm the time of the shuttle bus and this staff member came over with us to the Bell Captain and they found out that the Bell Captain did mot realise that there was an extra time table for the shuttle bus and they told us the wrong place to wait which should have been at the lobby neat the front.
The Bell Captain Trainee did not have good customer service as they raised their voice and got annoyed because a couple of us asked them the same question. They also advised us the wrong place to wait which showed either they did not have enough training and could not cope with being asked the same thing a few times.
The other interesting thing about this hotel is that they have real keys for your room instead of keycards. If you went out and thought the door locked itself you were wrong as had the put the key on to lock your door.
The room was quite compact so if you had luggage made it harder to move around. The one good thing about the room was the view from the window. The bathroom was small and the tub had a curtain to stop the water going on the floor and this showed the age of the hotel.
We only stayed one night and felt it was a bit too far from town so you had to take a bus or taxi. The other option was the take the shuttle bus to the New Prince Hotel and look around there.
This hotel is more for skiers so if you enjoy skiing then recommend this hotel but if you not a skier would not recommend this hotel.

Room is old and a bit dirty (#184)
The toilet is too small.

古いけれど、入り口からフロントの辺りが特に昭和レトロな雰囲気で、私は好きです。
スイスシャレー風の大きな三角屋根とホテル前の白樺もロマンティック。
ドラマ北の国からに、何度も出てきたホテルなので、ドラマファンとしては、ずっと訪れたかったので感慨深かったです。
朝食は充実した内容で満足。
私は使いませんでしたが、大浴場もあるようです。
部屋に蚊がいて、驚きましたが、山の近くだから こんな事もあるのでしょう。

Typical Japanese style hotel. Rooms are small but enough for ski season. There is a large ski rack / storage area at the first floor for all your gear, it is heated as well, almost every morning our gear was relatively dry as it was just central heating and not personal locker heating.

Breakfast was amazing ! Local product like milk and cheese were provided, one of the best honestly.

Staff were friendly and helpful as all japanese were, although they spoke minimal english, enough to get by.

Literally ski in and out, the hotel is right by the end of a slope but you'll have to ski and track just a little to the to the next chair lift.

Hotel is kinda far away from other shops, esp at night and in the cold... Took the local taxi for food at night.

They have a self service Landry mat as well, simple but enough

施設が極めて古いです。
お風呂も大変狭く、大人一人でしようするのも難しいです。

お部屋が狭かったけど、仕方ないと思います。朝食は素晴らしかったです。

今まで無数のホテルを利用しましたが、あんなにへたったベッドで寝たのは初めて。ベッドは異常に沈み込み、端のワイヤーは直接肌で感じる。ソファベッドは更にひどく、ベッドの縦半分は硬く半分は柔らかすぎるのが、ペラペラのベッドパッドが意味をなさない為直接体に伝わる。いくらハイシーズンとはいえ、料金に見合わない料金設定は詐欺に当たる程だと思う。

古いホテルでしたが、大浴場やバイキング形式の食事は種類も多く満足いくものでした。

I was recommended to book Furano Prince Hotel by a local driver.

Never did I know it is a tourist trap.

I paid 33,335 yen (SGD$420) per room night and expected at least a 4-star standard.

I checked in to the hotel room at 4 pm, the room is so tiny, we could hardly find space to place our luggage. There wasn’t any wardrobe, we could only find hanging hooks on the wall. The bathroom didn’t have basic amenity such as conditioner. There is free internet only in the common lobby area but not in the rooms. The most disappointing thing was the room smelled stale and was warm, despite switching the fan speed to max at 18 degree celcius. By the time we returned after dinner at 9 pm, we realised the aircon wasn’t working. We informed the front desk requesting to change room, and was told to wait in our room. The staff came to our room and after ascertaining that the aircon was indeed not working, she came back with a fan and expecting us to accept the arrangement. After some negotiations with the front desk Manager, finally we got our room changed, but this is such a bad experience it really spoilt your holiday mood.

For anyone who is considering holiday in Furano, please think twice before booking Furano Prince Hotel, so you don’t make the same mistake as me.

Frustrated Guest

長い廊下と階段しかない棟があるので、障害者や高齢者は、宿泊の部屋の確認を事前にホテルに確認されておいた方が良いと思います。

環境不錯

全体的に満足してます
朝食美味しく頂きました
wifeが接続出来ないのが残念です
静かな環境の中で滞在できましたが
朝日が部屋に当たり暑く目覚めました
冷房の効きも悪く 窓も開かず
不快な朝を迎えたのは残念でした
回りには何もない立地
売店が22時まで営業に助かりました

風呂上がり時の濡れタオル掛けがなく不便

去年 新富良野プリンスホテルに泊まりましたが、今回のホテルの方が落ち着いた感じで良かったと思います。
ただ、やはりお風呂は大浴場だけでは物足りなく露天風呂があるとより良かったと思います

今どき 部屋でWiFiが出来なく フロントに来て欲しいなど ビジネスホテルでも無いよ
ウェルカムドリンクも19時で終わりなんて
それならいっそ無い方がマシです
今回の北海道旅行中(6泊)最悪でした
富良野新プリに統合するのかな？
設備も古く改定されて無い

バブル時代前の施設の古さにビックリした。 狭い部屋に狭いユニットバスは最悪でした。 この時代錯誤の施設でこの値段には驚きでした。プリンスホテルは客への配慮でなく金稼ぎのホテルです。
