Hotels Near Ariake Forest Barbizon in Azumino

The staff and service were very appreciated. We forget some stuff in the room and the hotel staff tried so hard to find it and gave us back despite we already check out. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was very close to the train station with a few minutes walk. We really appreciated our stay and will visit again for sure. 😊

I chose this hotel in front of the station for the next day to use a car rental. It is a hotel of the Alpico Transportation Group. The receptionist is on the 2 floor. Check-in requires a machine hand input by yourself, and all payments, card keys and breakfast tickets are out of the machine. So payment is prepaid. It depends on the way of thinking whether it is troublesome or convenient. 1 person 8000 yen with breakfast. There was Wi-Fi, the room and the bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable and there was no particular dissatisfaction. There are also restaurants and taverns in front of the station for dinner, so there is no worry.

We stayed one night at this hotel as pat of a tour of Japan, mainly to visit Crow Castle, Japans oldest. The hotel was of a very good standard as were the rooms and the Japanese style breakfast was of a good quality, offering plenty of choices.. Would have liked to stay longer but we were moving on the fo,llowing day.

I walked from Kita Matsumoto Station to the hotel. ７ minutes? It is a walk arrival. The woman at the front desk had a smile and there was no unpleasant impression. The room was a room with Matsumoto Jo castle on the top floor. Especially at night Matsumoto Jo castle was the best and clean. The room size is a bit small, but I think it is reasonable to think of the price. The public bath is the feeling that it is said to be a small bath. ５ people are full if they enter. Moreover, there was no corona countermeasure at all. It is a breakfast restaurant, but it uses tong in the form of Viking, but the corona countermeasure is halfway and it is not possible. Use of disposable gloves for decadac and finger disinfection at the entrance properly. I didn't use several sets of disposable gloves. The employee doesn't know the face. In addition, there are couples who do not have a mask and are surprised. I think it is better to use care on the hygiene side because it is such a time. Dinner was surprisingly close to Matsumoto station.

I used it for a family trip during the spring break. There is a charge because I came by car, but I was able to park in the parking lot and go sightseeing at Matsumoto Castle and Matsumoto Station. It's a good walk course. The parking lot and the front desk 々 were all kind. The room was newly renewed so it was very clean and I was grateful that almost all the equipment I needed was available. The breakfast at Gust was delicious. I would like to stay when I visit Nagano Prefecture from now on

~7min walk from Matsumoto station with many food options nearby, on usual days. We went on 31 Dec to 1 Jan and the streets were empty; shops were 99% closed, except for Parco / big malls. Hotel staffs were super helpful and friendly. I loved the shoe locker concept at the main entrance of the hotel; you lock your shoes and go barefooted around the hotel. Hotel staff assisted to check on available restaurant opening hours, as well as reservation on 31 Dec since we weren't sure if places were open. Onsen (both indoor and outdoor) was the best, coupled with complimentary laundry facility (dryer at 100yen). Shampoo and body wash were all available for use. There are vending machines at the common area outside the bathroom. Complimentary ramen at night (do check with the hotel on the timing). Soba over new year's countdown at midnight was yummy. Wonderful overall experience. Will explore Onyado in other cities in future!

Once you get to the rotary at Matsumoto Station, you can arrive within 2 minutes, and breakfast is available until 9:30, so if you arrive late, it will be empty and you can eat slowly and thoroughly. I made a business reservation on short notice, and it was cheap, so I'm a candidate to use it again. Also, by chance, they were holding a lottery to commemorate the company's founding, and even though they didn't win, they received a small bottle of local sake. I was lucky.

When I booked the hotel, the reviews made me think that it would be good but not amazing. However I was really disappointed. Although not terrible, this hotel was below my standard. Within a short walk to the amazing Matsumoto Castle, the hotel seemed like a nice historic place to stay and enjoy. The hotel itself is rather plain and uninteresting. The room was big but not cozy or really comfortable. The elevator smelled like gasoline as did the basement floor where the women's bath is located. The public baths are small and uninteresting as well. We did not eat dinner here. The breakfast buffet was good. Now, on to the service. Although not rude, the service was cold and overly rule oriented. Although I realize the check-in time is 15:00, most places will not hold on to this dogmatically and to the minute. In other words, if the room is available then let your guests settle in. On this day it was raining, constant and hard, so most guests were cold and wet when they arrived as we were. At 14:10 when I asked if our room was ready the lady at the front dest pretended to check her watch and just no, please wait until 15:00. She didn't check if rooms were ready, but rather preferred the strict rule and have guests, many with children, sit around cold and wet in the lobby. Rules are more important than your customers. I don't agree with that. It is below my standard. On to breakfast, schedule to start at 6:30. We arrive at 6:28 and the lady (different lady) rather aggressively told us to go sit in the lobby rather that stand and wait for 2 minutes. That 2 minutes before 6:30 seemed very offensive for her. So when it came to parking no person came out to greet us or help us. Not normal or good. However I parked in front and headed in, then I was approached and told that I should not park there. Not sure why, but I asked where and was told that there is a parking lot around the corner. So I headed out to the car and started to move when I was approached and told that the parking lot was full. So I asked where I should park and was told that sorry the parking lot was full. So can I stay here? No. Where? the parking lot is full. So where do I park? The parking lot is now full, maybe some people will leave. I got fed up and just walked back into the hotel. A man then said that if I give him my key he will move my car when more spaces open up. Thank you. The next morning, my car was still there, had not been moved, and other cars were parked around me. That was not good reception. Below my standards. Dogmatic adherence to rules is more important than guests. Politeness does not hide that. Below my standards. Disappointed I cannot recommend this hotel.
