Otari Hotels with Bars

The hotel is located in Xiaogu Village, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the ski resort. However, you need to transfer multiple times to get to the hotel, so it is a good choice to stay for a few more days once you arrive and feel comfortable before leaving. It's very convenient to stay with the whole family, and the large bathhouse is also very good. There are relatively few choices in the hotel's restaurants, and you will get bored after eating there for a few days.

The boss has a good service attitude

We enjoyed our experience at the Ski Inn Hakuba. The staff are extremely dedicated and the rooms are well renovated. The Inn is located higher up on the slope, which makes it very quiet and ideal to have a smooth run the way down the slopes. Whether you are there to Ski, relax at an onsen, or do a visit in Nagano - definitely consider this Inn. Thanks to the Ski Inn Hakuba Team (Nick, Windy, Takashi and others), we had the best Ski experience ever. Hope to come back or check out their other projects again.

The breakfast is a Japanese set and the amount is quite small, there is not even coffee, and the dinner is also small and not delicious at all. Coins are used for everything, luggage storage before and after check-in is also a coin locker, snowboarding is of course a coin. There is no heating in the changing room of the hot spring, it is super cold, and there is only body soap and conditioner in shampoo. The guest room had an old-style heater.When I turned it on, the room became too dry and I couldn't sleep. I don't have a humidifier. The room is not cleaned, it says that it will be cleaned once every 3 days, so I didn't even change the towels. It wasn't good

We stayed here as part of a Tripadeal Aus package and it was a classic - “you get what you pay” for experience. Hotel is definitely mid range but room sizes were ok. We stayed in a fusion Western / Japanese room with 2 singles and 2 futons on tatami mats which was fine. Smoking and smell of smoke was a bit of an issue as doors to the smoking room and karaoke lounge were left open most of the time.. so the whole place smelled. Hotel staff tried to help by offering us some scented spray and were friendly and accommodating enough (shout out to Otomo San who was very helpful through our whole trip) but the cigarette smell was bad. Being on the northern side of the valley, the hotel backs onto Hakuba Norikura Onsen and the trails were great for young ones and beginners and being ski in and out, was ideal. But you are bus rides from everything and other parts of the Valley like Happo, Tsugaike (next village) or Cortina Limited food but hotel breakfast buffet was ok but Japanese style with some mix of Western (croissants and sweet bread). We chose to eat Dinner at a local family run place instead (see other review) which was not far from hotel - walkable. Lunch at the Snow drops cafeteria outside the hotel was cheap and locally exceptional.. one of the positives. Our passes as part of the hotel deal was limited to Norikura and didn’t allow us to ski across to Cortina (fine print stuff - where as a normal Day pass should allow you to ski both of you bought it locally) or buy a Hakuba Valley pass which gives you access to all the resorts. In hindsight, we should’ve just invested in a Epic pass in Oz in 19/20 which would’ve gave us 5days skiing. Ski gear rental offered by the hotel was also pretty average with very old gear (I’m talking 10-15+ yrs old) and definitely not up to scratch if you’re expecting new-ish stuff.. we ended up organising our gear through another place in the Echoland village (see separate review) which was great. There is a luggage delivery service which was helpful to send our bags back to the airport without having to lug them around all over Japan and the trains. Hotel onsen was the saving grace and great to have it just “upstairs” after the end of the day and is segregated. All in all probably just ok.. but we stayed here for the “value” deal and local experience.

I also used it in December. Overall it was good, so I repeated it. Customer Service → If you don't understand something, just ask and they will respond kindly. I'm not looking for friendliness, so I feel very comfortable here. You work efficiently. Meals: The amount of rice is large. It's enough for one woman to eat. It's perfect because I want to eat well after exercising! And I'm glad it comes with dessert. Breakfast starts at 7:30, and the gondola lift opens at 8:00, which is a bit of a problem for those who want to ski the fast track. I guess it would be better if I didn't eat breakfast... It's best to start from 7:00! The location is close to the gondola, so it's very convenient. There is also a convenience store right in front of the building, so I used it to buy late night snacks and energy drinks. It's also fairly close to the express bus parking lot. The hotel is compact, so it's very comfortable. If you're in a large hotel, you'll have to move to the public bath and washing machine within the hotel, so it's great that it's compact. Cleanliness: Although the building is not new, it is very clean. I think the public bath is also clean. As long as you bring your own amenities that you usually use, there will be no problem. Besides me, I saw other people staying alone. I felt safer staying at this hotel that I had stayed at before than trying to find a new hotel, so I decided to stay here again. It's the perfect hotel for me. My husband and I are planning to come next season.
