A comfortable stay with old world charm
Pros:

The hotel is a little dated, but I think that's part of its charm. I had a comfortable three night stay with no issues at all. The room was perfectly adequate, and the staff were attentive and helpful. In-room amenities and tea bags were provided, and there were also self service coffee, tea and water stations in the guest lounges, which was a nice touch. Breakfast offered a good variety too.

I'd read some rather negative reviews before arriving, but my experience was much better than expected. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Cons:

The mattress was a little too springy for my liking, as I prefer a firmer bed. However, it wasn't a major issue during my three night stay.

此次住東館房設雖然簡單,但設備有過於陳舊,沒有以前住過好的感覺。飯店住宿離車站近,餐廳新穎、空間大,早餐服務有水準,尤其一位男(帥氣)服務員,熱切招呼,加上在安靜且悠雅的音樂中享受餐食。另外住宿周邊楓葉🍁美景最令人贊嘆不已。唯一小小建議東館
Pros:

住宿離車站近,餐廳新穎、空間大。另外住宿周邊楓葉🍁美景最令人贊嘆不已。

Cons:

東館房設備有過於陳舊、簡漏,沒有幾年前住的好的感覺。(如洗衣設備不足、地毯有點髒,房間不如公共區域乾淨、沒有行李架,對年長者不方便)

クラシカルな素敵なホテルで私も母親も大満足でした。ホテルのスタッフの方もとても親切でした。立地もよく朝のお散歩や朝食中に野生のリスの親子などを見かけ癒されました。朝食も美味しかったです。またぜひ寄らせていただきます。ありがとうございました。

Cons:

バスタブの排水に時間がかかるところが少し気になりました。そこが改善されればパーフェクトだと思います。

Old style but affordable.
Pros:

Access to free parking; on main Street.

Cons:

No lifts, lack the elegance when guests are expected to lug their 15kg bags up to 2nd floor.

Air conditioning doesn't work as expected. So be ready to engage the reception.

Back to Karuizawa
Pros:

It was very spacious, it was located near numerous spots, a Shopping Plaza, and it's only a short walk to the Karuizawa Station.

Cons:

There was really not much to dislike about the area. Just wish it wasn't so expensive
