Large B&B style with clean rooms and excellent location

Welcoming front lobby with areas to unwind. Check-in was a breeze and we appreciated the personal tour of the building and explaining the local spots to see in the town. The washrooms are separate ladies from mens which I preferred. Large dining room, where you can bring in your own food and watch tv. There is no menu offered but it's nice to have the space. They do offer free coffee in the lobby and some drinks for nominal fee. Short walk to restaurants in town. We found underground parking a short walk away.

Decent stay.

The staff were generally friendly depending on whom you deal with (some are super friendly, others were so so). Decent location near the coach stop, but not near the ski lifts area.

Comfortable accommodation in convenient location.

Our room was simply but comfortable, the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The location in terms of the town centre is excellent, only a couple of minutes walk to shops, restaurants, onsen and bus stop. A decent 15 min walk to the ski area but only a very short walk to the shuttle bus. Our room had toilet but no bathroom, this was not a problem for us. Overall we had a most enjoyable stay.

Great lodge, excellent facilities, and the best staff.

Danny and the reception girls were amazing. So friendly and helpful. We have been to Nozawa before and it was a much better experience because of them.

A magical place, with a homely feel, only a 5 min free bus ride to the slopes.

This place is a little gem, I booked the last room for 2 nights it’s all that I could get. We didn’t know what to expect but when we arrive in this magical wonderland we met the mangers who have fantastic English and knowledge of the area. They have a homely setup, slippers at the front door. Small onsen and hot showers. They have a kitchen and dining room and facilities to make your stay if it was longer very easy to accommodate. We will definitely stay here again and I can’t thank them enough for helping me book all the ski hire and lessons. Just a little tip… Every thing completely shuts down for the Xmas and new year holidays so you won’t get any reply’s in that time!

Great stay

Stopped here for 5 nights recently and really enjoyed it. Carol was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were all warm (they each had a heater in) and the bedding was comfortable enough (futons). Shared showers, dining room and bathrooms, but all warm and clean. The hotel was full when we were there, but it didn't seem overcrowded at all. Washer and dryer downstairs.

European / Japanese styled in one

The young group of staff from over the globe were all super lovely, friendly and helpful. The location from the main gondola was a good enough distance to get the legs going again in the morning but not outrageously far, about 10 mins, or 2 mins to the bus stop.. and only 3 mins to main street. Great steaming hot onsen only 2 mins away also. Good, filling breakfast in the morning although strongly European influenced.
