Hakuba Mount Karamatsu Hotels

"Very friendly staff. Hotel lobby has lockers, luggage storage and a fire place. The room is good and has plenty of space. They told me the tap water is drinkable but it tasted funny."

"This "hotel" is one step above a hostel. It's basically a college dorm. The women's bathroom had 1 working toilet. Other 2 stalls said out of order. The beds were very uncomfortable and metal bed frames were very squeaky. 90% of the guests were under 25, at most. Two stars, 1 for breakfast was pretty good. 2 for location. "

"Great place and wonderful staff, highly recommend. If the futon on the floor isn’t working for you, they have a foam mattress you can request."

"Our stay at Wadano Forest Hotel was great. Everyone from the front desk staff, kitchen staff, and shuttle drivers were extremely polite and helpful. "

"Beautiful property, sleek design and decor. Impeccable service"

"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were absolutely delightful and went out of their way to accommodate any requests including the dietary requirements of one person in our group. We were on the breakfast and dinner meal package and the options each day were fantastic, with a vast selection of European and Japanese options. One thing to note is that the hotel isn’t located in a town centre. Instead, it’s directly opposite a beginner lift in the Imori area, giving easy access to the slopes. The hotel itself is fairly basic, but it’s very clean and the staff more than make up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. There are free hot drinks in the foyer, an onsen, washing/drying facilities and the hotel will provide free transfers to train/bus station (or even to Lawsons/711 if you need supplies!) There’s also a games room with a pool table and table tennis. If you’re looking for nightlife, this probably isn’t the spot for you; but for a relaxed, comfortable tradtitonal Japanese ski stay, we couldn’t fault it."

"Perfect cabin for our little family to stay in for the week of skiing. Close by to Echoland bars/restaurants. Oats hotel just around the corner for shuttle pick up/drop off. Host provided transportation between Happo 1 bus station on arrival/departure. Had enough mod cons to make a decent breakfast/ evening meal with the help of Lawsons. The cabin was clean and tidy - the only improvement would to be invest in a decent sofa bed - it was feeling quite hard after 7 days skiing! Would definitely go back - thank you "

"Clean, very comfortable, good breakfast buffet, and hospitality of all staff "

"The bathroom towels were small - the onsen was great - could do with more frequent shuttles "
