Pros:

De ruime kamer was heel fijn en de locatie van het hotel is ook super. Er stopt een skibus voor de deur, maar wij hadden zelf een auto die we voor het hotel konden parkeren. Er zitten veel eetgelegenheden en barretjes op loopafstand. De onsen was schoon en prettig in gebruik.

Cons:

We hebben ons er niet aan geërgerd en vonden het passen in bij het hotel en de sfeer, maar het hotel is van binnen wel wat gedateerd. Alles werkt goed en is schoon, maar hebben wel wat gebruikssporen gezien op bijv het tapijt van de kamer. Daarbij was de kamer heel warm, wat fijn is voor in een skiresort, maar voor ons wel wat te heet. Het was moeilijk om de kamer koel te krijgen.

Great location to access the buses for skiing.
Pros:

The hotel was clean, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. It was an ideal location for us using the bus. The hotel was very quiet.
The breakfast options were very good but quantity was a bit limited. The osen was clean and welcoming.
This was our first experience of a drying room and it really is a great idea and well organized.

Cons:

We were there for 6 nights and the room was not cleaned during our stay, only a refresh of towels whenever we wanted. The bed was a little hard and the linens a little worn.

Pros:

Breakfast great! Staff wonderful! Beds are mats on the floor, but you can use more mats. Excellent ski storage! Remember to have everything for the day before putting outside shoes on :)

Pros:

Very convenient location. Close to the Happo Bus Terminal with shuttles from the various resorts. Staff was very friendly. They even agreed to drive us to the JR Hakuba station at no cost.

Cons:

The breakfast time is very restricted (7am-8am only). We went end of Feb and I found it to be a bit pricey perhaps because it is still peak skiing season.

Great location and staff at this hotel.
Pros:

Lovely staff and comfortable traditional Japanese rooms in a great location walking distance to ski lifts and restaurants.

Cons:

It was very expensive however this is likely due to it being peak season.

Pros:

The location is perfect to get to all of the resorts.

Cons:

The Japanese style beds did not come with much padding and the room did not have a working shower - only place to shower was in the onsen.

A fantastic stay with outstanding staff and an unbeatable location.
Pros:

Hiro-san was extremely accommodating and the staff were incredibly friendly, easily some of the friendliest we have encountered. The location was unbeatable, just a couple of minutes from the Happo One bus terminal, and the shuttle bus stopped right in front of the accommodation, which made getting around effortless. The onsen was also a wonderful bonus after a long day on the slopes. The facilities were a little older, though everything was still clean, functional, and great value for money

This is the number one place to stay when skiing/snowboarding Hakuba Valley. Hari is the man!! 5 stars
Pros:

Hari is the best host you could ask for. He made our trip seemless and helped whenever possible. The facilities were great and location was perfect. Short distance from happo one and the bus station to go skiing at other resorts in the region. He provided laid back and chill experience that made the time even more enjoyable.

Cons:

Nothing

A no frills good value for money residence that serves the purpose.
Pros:

It’s in a convenient location, overall clean, has all the basic facilities needed for a skiing holiday including a dry room and heating inside the bedroom. Serves the purpose of giving a comfortable accommodation for a ski holiday. It also has an onsen inside the hotel. Very good value for money.

Cons:

It’s a traditional Japanese residence (sleeping on tatami, traditional white neon light lighting, using common slippers as soon as you enter hotel), customers need to be fine with this before booking. Dry room is in basement, need to walk down stairs. No shuttle bus services to/from station or ski slopes. Blankets and mattresses are semi covered, they give the impression that they are old and worn out.
