Does what is says on the tin, no frills
This is a very basic hotel, catering mostly to young Australian tourists. It is extremely conveniently located next to the Happo One gondola and several popular bars / restaurants. The rooms are clean and generally the staff were very helpful, but the physical state of the building and the smell of diesel fuel is a little off putting. The breakfast is very basic but in the hotel’s defence, everything was pretty much exactly as described and the price reflects the value you get here.

Good location. Noisy until late from the bar. Dirty room with hole in the wall. Mostly polite staff, one rude staff member checking in. Maybe good choice for younger party crowd.

This place is the definition of everything that is wrong with Hakuba!! A fossil of the 1998 Olympics, now owned and operated by Australians, like the rest of Hakuba. Walking into this hotel was like teleporting straight into Front Valley, Perisher. The only Japanese person we seen, was told to speak english by reception staff when he asked for his room number in Japanese. Disgraceful!!

Rooms are far too small and cramped insufficient power points to charge mobile lighting way too dim you can hardly see anything they don’t have a courtesy bus to local bus depot and if Taxis are unavailable as they were well it’s just too bad for you .they gave 3 busses sitting there but apprantley they belong to another company steps are way too steep and would be illegal in Australia breakfast was a joke overall disappointing stay

The location for Happo One basically can't be beat. You can throw a snowball to the Gondola from in front of the building. The building is old and there is only Wi-Fi in the guest lounge. I tried to email the staff for some information multiple times over a month and they never responded.

Not as advertised. Definitely not a 3 star hotel. No wifi - at first I was wondering why all these folks are hanging out at the reception area. It turned out that there's the only spot in the "hotel" with WIFI. There is no in room wifi. This "hotel" definitely does not have "Free Wifi" to me. Although "check in policies" said check in time is from 4pm to 11:30pm, there was no staff at the reception at 9:30pm. There is a little envelope with your name and the room key in it at the reception... The lack of any amenities other than body soap, shampoo and some filthy towel. There is no kettle or hair dryer in the room, which I consider a standard for 3 star hotel. In other 3 star hotels, you can pick up razor, toothbrush or whatever at the counter. There is none in this hotel. No drinkable water - There is a vending machine at the front door, but you know what, water was sold out. A guy from another group looked at me and said "There is no water bro, what are you gonna get?...." Unstable, structurally unsound bunk bed. OK, I paid I think 3000 more to get the room with 3 twin beds, and what I got was a double bed and a bunk bed...The bunk bed makes all kind of squeaking noise when I was just trying to get onto the top bed. It feels really dangerous Breakfast with no meat - I have lived in Japan for a long time, and I have stayed in many cheaper hotels, but this hotel provides by far the worst breakfast. There was only bread(toast) with jam and cereal for food. Don't bother.

We usually stay in a ski resort type hotel, but decided to try a different hotel this time and we’re not disappointed. This hotel has no frills, breakfast is a very simple affair, but it’s convenient, reasonable and the staff are friendly. Be aware, if you hire your kit from the hotel, it’s convenient in terms of location and price, but the opening hours for rental are limited. We turned up at midday expecting to be able to do half a day of boarding, to find they had closed and didn’t reopen until 4pm after the slopes closed, which was frustrating. All in all though a great place to stay, the bar was fun to visit and it had a great Aussie vibe.

Good budget option for not fuzzy travelers.
I chose this hotel as we were on a budget. Two nights during peak season would set me back around 150.000 yen. This hotel was below 60.000 yen for three nights which was the reason I reserved immediately without checking the reviews. Afterwards I started reading the reviews and then the worries started to grow... shared toilets, dirty, etc , were keywords which popped up in most reviews. When we arrived we were met by a polite Japanese person who checked us in. There is no parking, but next to the hotel is a snowfree parking for 1000 yen a night. The room was spacious and really nice and warm. It's a bit old, but nothing to complain about. We had a family room with toilet and shower and bath. The toilet and the bath unit are together so this was a little inconvenient for a family of 5...but certainly not 100.000 yen worth of inconvenience. We had a double bed for the parents which was comfortable, we had a bunk bed for two kids, but the upper bed was too noisy, so we took the mattress and put it on the ground. The third bed was a sleeping sofa which was not comfortable due to a hard part which splits the sofa/bed in the middle. But we were all dead tired, so we slept through all incomfort. In the morning we had a free breakfast with toast and jam, cereals and boiled eggs. The area is very nice and lively and it's really in front of happo gondola. My family are all boarders though so we drove to hakuba 47 which is a 10 minute drive. All in all, we had a great time, thanks!

Very good location, it is an older style lodging which I knew ahead of time by reading the reviews, I was not expecting anything more. Water pressure is good and the showers water is hot which is needed after a day of snowboarding. It met my needs. A place to stay to rest and shower, and free breakfast in the morning. Would stay again if I could bring my dog next time.

Great location, top tier service
Walking distance to the gondola is what drove us to select this hotel, but the service and amenities made it the perfect place. We had 3 to a room and it was not too bad for space. The attached bar and restaurant were always welcoming and the hotel includes a spacious dry room with lockers to put your gear after hitting the slopes. Overall, a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Just a simple youth hostel with 4-5 star hotel prices. We had the room with a bathroom but I had a better bathroom in camper van. The guys at reception were friendly enough (Aussie) but it almost felt like they were doing community service or out on parole. Our friends stayed in another hotel which was cheaper and that looked much better value for money. Don’t let the pretty pictures fool you. It was Very close to the Gondola and we hired or equipment from Woodys across the road - great service and very friendly. Not sure I will rush back. In fact the stay ended up with us having an average experience in Hakuba.
