Raiba 4 Stars Hotels

"Amazing Onsen"

"There’s very poor communication from the hotel. The hotel didn’t specify that there are specific timings for the shuttle. After I booked my train tickets and tried to arrange the shuttle pickup, then the hotel told me I had to be at the station at certain time. I had to change my train booking. When I booked the hotel, I booked with breakfast for 2 adults and a 6 year old child. Somehow, the breakfast that the hotel received was for a 3 year old child. The restaurant insisted I had to pay extra for the child because the age was wrong. I decided then that I’ll not have breakfast and only 2 pax will have breakfast. I then asked to sit together while they have breakfast and the restaurant would not even allow me to sit there even though I do not take anything. The mess up and the inflexibility totally spoiled any impression of the hotel. I booked a premium suite with twin beds. Although the room was spacious, the twin beds were just 3 feet which was very surprising for a 4 star hotel. The hotel is located out of the way without any play area so we have to travel to other ski areas even to have fun in the snow. If you want to stay in this hotel, I recommend having a car to access the places to enjoy. I do need to mention some of the reception staff were quite polite and helpful and the shuttle drivers were especially helpful and nice. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel as I’m sure there are better hotels. I would not choose this hotel on my future visits to Hokkaido "
