Villa Kitakaruizawa L Wing

The hotel is clean and the service is very good! The environment is quiet and quiet, and it is a good place for vacation and leisure. There are enough parking spaces for parking, and it is best to drive in and out, because other traffic is not convenient. The breakfast food is diverse and delicious!

Used in July 2021. Due to the coronavirus, I was unable to travel overseas, so I exchanged my lost HGVC points for RCI and used this facility. As mentioned in the reviews, I would have liked a room on a higher floor, but I was told that there is a floor designation when using RCI, so I ended up staying on the middle floor. However, when I opened the window, I could see the leaves of the tall trees, which gave me a very relaxing forest bathing effect. The room is a 1LDK with a Japanese-style room. [Equipment] ・Large refrigerator ・Microwave ・Kettle ・Powdered tea ・Glass & teacup ・Dishwashing detergent & sponge ・Washing machine & laundry detergent ・Shampoo & conditioner & body soap ・Toothbrushes and other amenities (minimum necessary) ・Bath There were towels and face towels. No pots, plates, cutlery etc. The bath is relatively small. The temperature of the hot water can be adjusted next to the kitchen. I think it would be better to set the temperature a little hotter. It is possible to get warm in the bathroom. Since I only booked a room, I included breakfast. This is the correct answer! It was very delicious ✨ There is a restaurant called Yakiniku Forest within the facility, and it is also delicious! I will also include reviews of nearby restaurants later. It was a place and facility that I would never have used if it wasn't for RCI, but once I came, it was a wonderful place! First of all, the air is delicious! And the food is delicious! The weather forecast wasn't good this time, so I only played tennis, but next time I have a chance to use it again, I would like to rent a car and go sightseeing at nearby ranches, waterfalls, and play golf. It's a little far from Karuizawa. . From the Harunire Terrace area, we went up a steep slope and passed the sign for Shiraito Falls... The taxi cost was around 7,000 yen.

I've mentioned the usual Karuizawa area many times, so my family and I stayed here as a base for visiting Yamba Dam, Kusatsu, Mt. Haruna, and Numata on the Gunma Prefecture side. Although it is a high-rise hotel and is a little old, the inside is kept well-maintained and has a clean feel. There was a large public bath on the top floor, which was spacious and had a great view. I don't think there was a store at the hotel, but there are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, so I don't think you'll have any trouble shopping. The staff were also polite and made me feel comfortable. I want to go again.

This is a family stay without meals. There are two rooms on the 10th floor. Room 1010 is a spacious twin room with an area of ​​over 40 square meters. Room 1011 is also a little smaller, but it is spacious enough. Although it is an old building, the maintenance and cleaning are perfect and you can spend your time there without any problems. Moreover, since it is on a high floor, the view is amazing. You can also enjoy a wonderful view from the public bath on the 13th floor. However, it is too lonely and dark to call it a night view. The bathroom doesn't seem to have been well maintained, and there are some breakdowns and stains in the hot water. However, it is nice to be able to enjoy the view from the sauna. This is a hotel that I would like to visit again in the summer to escape the heat.

I stayed in a spacious TWIN on the 9th floor for 2 nights. Mt. Asama can be seen in front. The view is spectacular, especially since there are no high-rise buildings nearby. In particular, the view from the observation bath on the top floor, 13th floor, is outstanding. The room is over 40m2 and the bed is spacious and comfortable. Although it was strange that hot water came out of the faucet, it was a comfortable stay at a reasonable price given the Gunma discount. Dinner was grilled meat and shabu-shabu and we had plenty of space. Breakfast is average. Originally, it looked like a resort apartment for long-term stays.

During the peak summer season, a one-night stay with two meals and dinner buffet plan costs 15,500 yen for one person. It doesn't seem like it's going to be ridiculously expensive during Obon, so it's a good thing. However, we were not able to enjoy the dinner buffet, which is probably a special plan only available during busy periods. After all, there is almost no main dish, or rather, there is no live kitchen these days. The variety and quality was similar to a buffet or lunch buffet from a while ago. The taste is not bad, but it tastes like a supermarket side dish, and it doesn't seem like it will be replenished. I went once to get a refill of the only delicious mapo tofu, but the first time there was only crumbs left, but the next time I went there, there was only one last piece of tofu that I hadn't finished all the time. . The dregs were left as they were (lol). I thought that a buffet meant that you could eat whatever you wanted and as much as you wanted... I can't help but feel like I'm missing out when I compare it to other hotels in the same price range that focus on buffet. If this were the case, I would want to stay overnight without meals and enjoy the gourmet food of Karuizawa, but the pick-up and drop-off times are only 11:00 and 15:45, so if you don't have a car, you won't be able to come after having dinner in town. I wonder why one of the two trains is at 11 o'clock. It would have been more helpful if there was another bus available after 3:45 pm, when the route buses run out. Regarding the public bath, I thought that the lack of an open-air bath was a major negative point, but the sauna was one of the best I've ever had and more than made up for the negative point. First of all, the temperature is probably 90 degrees. The view of the foothills of Mt. Asama from the sauna was spectacular, and the water bath wasn't too cold or too lukewarm, so I was able to stay in the bath for a long time since I couldn't bathe in the outside air. The room was spacious and clean, perfect for a resort hotel. Breakfast, like dinner, doesn't have a lot of variety and is comparable to a business hotel, but it has the bare essentials, so if you don't eat too much, you'll be satisfied. As for the employees, the elderly staff member at the dinner venue was very nice, but the young girl who worked part-time at breakfast was unfriendly and gave me the impression that it was just like this. The people at the front desk were average and average overall. This is pretty much the same for all hotels, so I'll omit it. Overall, I was satisfied with everything except the food. There seems to be a Yakiniku and Sukiyaki plan, so I might have been quite satisfied with that, so there's room for repeat visits. I really can't recommend Viking.

The staff is friendly and the building and interior are clean. However, the only things left in the kitchen are a teacup and a cup. It has a pretty solid kitchen...I didn't check, but I wonder if you're not allowed to cook for yourself? If you ask the front desk, they might be able to lend you the kitchen utensils you need, but if that's the case, I wish they would have told you that at check-in.

I think the level of the restaurant is also quite high. We also stayed in a large room (with washing machine) for 7 nights. Long-term stays are also recommended!
