Hotels With Spa in Nagano Prefecture, Japan

The room and bathroom was clean and nice. We were driving but there were ample parking lots. We got the free welcome drinks, free ice cream, free chazuke and free morning coffee during our stay. We were able to see sunset from our room too. The public bath was clean too with all amenities provided, even with massage chairs. Totally enjoy our stay, the receptionist spoke good english too. very recommended.

The hotel definitely shows its age, but it's still well-maintained. Its ski-in/ski-out access is super convenient for a ski resort hotel. The on-site hot spring is also a highlight, especially the semi-open-air one. Lunch at the restaurant is quite pricey, and the dinner buffet is the exact same every single night, with virtually no changes to any of the dishes. For guests staying multiple nights, it's quite off-putting and frustrating.

The location is a bit bad because its so far away from everything with no real food options nearby. If you have a car this is not an issue. The buffet however is outrageously expensive at 8000 yen per person.  The detergent they used on the sheets seems to have irritated my skin.  However their customer service was absolutely fantastic as was their hot spring

Family new hotel with 5 stars service from.all the staffs. Plenty of freebies like ice cream, coffee and late night Ramen for supper. It is a hotel like a semi-Ryokan, no shoes and walk on socks or bare footed on tatami flooring. We took a quadruple room and stayed for 3 nights. Size iis adequate for couple use. Onsen facilities is great with both indoor and outdoor hot spring bath. Bonus point is the sauna with different aroma everyday. Location is perfect, walking distance to train and around 25mins walk to the castle. Restaurants are all close by less than 20mins walk. Breakfast included and I will grade it as value for money. Highly recommended to book your stay.

It was a great experience to stay in this hotel! Very nice view and staff are very polite and willing to answer many questions. Outdoor area is very big that we could take bicycles with kids. Also there are kids outdoor playground that can spend whole day there. 

Location: Near to Karuizawa train station (approximately 15 min walk to hotel west) and 10min walk to shopping mall. 5 min shuttle bus to reach ski area. Room: Clean and comfortable. But the bath powder is like toilet detergent scent. Amenities: there is Family mart operates until 11pm in hotel west. Service: Front desk lady can’t really speak English and hard to communicate. The man at cloakroom is unfriendly. Shuttle bus service: Shuttle bus service provided within the shopping area, hotel east and west. However, the instruction is unclear to us. When we queued up for the bus to station, the hotel staff did not inform us the bus was here and to align the bus but just change the next bus arrival timing. Until entire lane of the guests missed the bus. We had to walk all the way to station with our huge luggage. Snow Park: No clear direction or sign board to go snow park from hotel east. The snow park area is kinda small and suitable for young kid (below 7 years old). It is boring for kid above 7 years old.

We booked three rooms for three adults, but one turned out to be a sofa bed. It was quite hard and narrow (around 90cm wide), making it very uncomfortable for an adult to sleep on. While the suite's living room was exceptionally spacious, it felt largely wasted. The hotel's spa wasn't particularly impressive, so we skipped it. Overall, for over 7000, it was quite disappointing. However, the hotel's location is truly superb, offering great convenience for getting around. Due to this experience, I wouldn't book a suite again. The room's carpet also had a persistent, unpleasant odor that wouldn't dissipate, even with the door closed, and the bathroom's shower fixtures weren't working properly. The hotel's courtyard, though pretty, was far too small. On the positive side, the service was genuinely excellent, and the complimentary round-trip shuttle service to the train station was incredibly convenient. A standard room might be acceptable for a single night's stay, primarily because of the fantastic location.

The hot spring is great, and the water quality is very comfortable. 👍👍 The breakfast is delicious, and dinner is good too, but the menu never changes; it's the same every day. If you're staying for a longer ski trip, everything tastes bad after two days. 😓 The location is very convenient if you have your own car. If not, taking a taxi is also easy, though sometimes you have to wait a bit longer. None of the staff speak English. Every time, they just give you a look that says, 'I don't understand, sorry, I can't help you,' which is very frustrating. 🥲🥲 **Hygiene:** I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. Upon check-in, they said the room would be cleaned once after three days. However, three days passed, and even after reminding them, no one came to clean. No one cleaned the room until we left. I had to clean it myself every day like a housekeeper. 🥹 **Room:** The space is quite large. The overall feel is like a 70s-80s hotel. If you like a nostalgic vibe, it's pretty good. The overall price is reasonable, it's a good place, and I'd come back here to ski next time. 👍👍 But I'll definitely bring an AI translator next time, otherwise, communication will be impossible. 😅😅

The environment is antique, every place is full of details, the room has a first-class view, the open-air hot spring has a flavor, and the overall environment is comfortable. One berth and two foods, the quality of food is good. The service attitude is friendly and professional, and it is more traditional Japanese culture when sending us out of the hotel.

Really beautiful resort, love the free rental Onsen it’s really nice, if you don’t need room cleaning service you can get 2000yen coupon for souvenir shop. It’s close to the outlet only 10mins driving distance. There is a 7 eleven close to the hotel but need to be aware that the convenience store will be closed at 2300.
