Karuizawa|0.23km from Uchimura Kanzo Memorial Stone Church
Although this hotel had one of the cheaper room prices (for the duration that we were staying), the overall experience was average / slightly below average and on hindsight we might have splurged a little to upgrade to a bigger room in a more central location. The room was very small – after clearing out whatever furniture we could (table was packed in the cabinet where the bedding was kept and most other things had to be stacked on top of each other to maximise space), there was barely enough space to lay out two mattresses right beside our luggages (note that you have to set up the beds yourself). We spotted some strange black spots on the futon covers which deterred us from using the futons. We did, however, appreciate that the room came with a small refrigerator, a small key-operated safe box and a working heater. The walls and floors are thin, so you will hear footsteps along the corridor and (if you are unlucky, as we were, to have a room next to the toilet) gurgling sounds from the plumbing system. Bathrooms and restrooms are shared. The communal shower area on the first floor has a small bath (could accommodate approximately 3 strangers, any more would be uncomfortable), but the water is still and I'm not certain if it was actually from the hot springs. We were grateful that the usual amenities were provided (toiletries, body lotion, hairdryers). There were other onsens nearby which were open for day trips, but we were turned away by the prices (bearing in mind that we had just travelled from onsen heaven, Kusatsu town). Location-wise, while we were given a free shuttle ride from and to Karuizawa Station during check-in and check-out, we had to find our own way around the rest of the time. There are some attractions in the Naka-Karuizawa area, but the main highlights are nearer to the Karuizawa Station. The walk from the hotel to Naka-Karuizawa Station (one stop away from Karuizawa Station) takes about 10-15 minutes, and the street lights can get rather dim by 7pm and are almost non-existent by 10pm. Alternatively, there are buses that ply the area, but the bus fares were nearly double the train fares and accessibility of information was an issue (it was hard looking up bus timetables online). Another alternative is to rent bicycles from the hotel at ¥1000 per day. Service-wise – hit and miss. Some of the staff were friendly and helpful, others not so. A few of them were able to communicate in English. Food-wise, there were some decent options (e.g. Harunire Terrace), but not always budget-friendly and most close by evening (sans restaurants, with pretty steep prices). There is a 7-11 about 100m away but consumption of food in the store is not allowed. It closes at 11pm. All in all, if you're fine with sacrificing some creature comforts and travelling longer distances to save on accommodation, this hotel could be one of your considerations. But if your budget is not the main priority, there may be better options els

Karuizawa Forest Seasons Villa
4.8/535 Reviews
The first stop of this trip to Japan was impeccable. The hotel is located in the villa area of ​​Nakakaruizawa, close to Hoshino Onsen, a small town on Elm Street. There are only three villas in the entire hotel, each with its own characteristics. BBQ campfires are available. A lot of the hotel's construction was done by the manager himself, and he was very attentive. The stones in the courtyard were all volcanic stones transported back by the truckload. The manager provides pick-up and drop-off services, and there are many unique surrounding short-distance routes to recommend. Remember to make an appointment in advance for consultation. It is said that the barbecue area will be built next year, and I will still choose Mori Four Seasons Villa when I go to Karuizawa.
Shiotsubo Onsen Hotel
4.4/56 Reviews
It was a building that felt the age. It is difficult to say that there are many stains in carpets and cheeks, but the cleaning of the room, bath, dining room, parking lot, etc. was well done. The staff at the hotel felt good. It seems that the hot spring has a slight fragrance like a disinfectant and circulates. It was a weak alkaline spring, but there is no particular feeling of moisture. The open-air bath was not seasonally blurred and it was just good. There is a spring pool in front of the open-air bath, and you need to be careful not to enter it wrong, laugh. Dinner was just a good meal, such as eggplant, tonpouro, tenfura, and tezushi sushi, and it was a meal that was not fun and tired of the eyes. The dining room was quiet and slow, whether it was still influenced by corona self-restraint or there were many overnight guests. I think it is good to visit in the autumn leaves season. However, since the main road to the hotel is steep and steep, it may be severe if there is no chain, of course, in winter. There is no convenience store nearby, and there is a vending machine, but it is a hotel price of 150 yen for can coffee. If you come from the Nakagaruizawa area, there is one convenience store, so you can use it. Smoking in the room was OK though the whole building was non-smoking.
Dormy Club Karuizawa
4.3/53 Reviews
The price is a bit expensive, and the hotel facilities are a bit old, but the service is very good. I will stay here next time I have the opportunity. The service staff are very enthusiastic and actively helped me heat the rice balls. Praise!
Bellscabin Guesthouse
4.4/521 Reviews
The host was friendly and welcoming. We went early to drop off our baggage and even though it wasn't opened yet, he came out to entertain us and kept it for us. When we returned to check in, he was very warm and offered us a hot welcome drink, which was something we needed in the cold weather. He was very clear with his explanation, and we felt happy to hang out at the lounge area for drinks after we settled in. Bed was a little hard, but besides that, everything else was provided for and good.
Hotel Wellies
4.6/535 Reviews
There will be always a place in my heart for Wellies. Everything to be concerned in a trip seems non-worried under the help of Chris and Judy. It’s funny to experience such an idiomatic British style accommodation and breakfast in a country named Japan where traditional culture prevails. Of course Must! Must! Must!enjoy a glass(or glasses) of Judini at the lobby bar at night, I believe bartender Judy would love to offer her original creation as well as the songs of her beloved Robbie Williams.
Hoshinoya Karuizawa
4.4/555 Reviews
This is a stunning property and all around excellent place to stay with one caveat. The amenities are excellent, the grounds tranquil and gorgeous. The library was a nice place to chill, has snacks all day, whisky an sake/champagne in the evening to enjoy a nightcap, special little treats outside in the garden etc. The onsen was magic and the nature trail to connect you to the forest and surrounding areas was delightful. The staff was incredible, attentive, and kind. Anything we needed they happily accommodated. We had a treatment at the spa And the kaiseki dinner with sake pairing which were both lovely and worth the expense. But the rooms may not live up to your expectations. We rented a junior maisonette for our family of four. While what is pictured on the website is lovely and inviting, what we got was a two story townhouse in the middle of a three-plex that felt a little old, was at the edge of the property, and faced a road that was hidden by a tall fence. Had I know this is what I was getting I would have definitely chosen differently and probably not stayed here. Because for as expensive this property is I expected the actual room to be far superior than what it was. But if you can secure one of the better rooms on the water then I say go for it.
