Check Karuizawa Hotels with Balcony

West side was around 10 min walk from the outlet mall and took us nearly 30 mins to walk (with a kid) to the East Side Snow Park. Room was just okay for its price - lobby looks better and newer than the room which was a bit old fashioned, yellowish (without a full mirror too) and not spacious. We drove there. For this price point, we would try other hotels next time, like Hilton in the area, given we need to walk a long way from West Side to everywhere, even to the hotel lobby and car park.

I really enjoyed my stay at this brand new hotel. Although it has been open for a couple of months, they have kept everything spotless. The lobby with open fire is beautiful and a comfortable area to have a drink and relax. The room itself was also incredibly clean and everything worked well including the WiFi. The hanten jackets were in the colours of the Ukranian flag which was a nice touch. The breakfast was good, as was the restaurant in the evening. The public bath was a nice place to soak after dinner. Service was good although it's clear the team was new and still training - I am sure this will change in time. Small criticim is there was no room service menu in the room. This was fine as it was on the TV but navigating to the menu needed Japanese skills. The architecture and general design is fantastic, as are the fittings and the carpets are just beautiful - same as all new IHG properties I think.

The hotel is just a 5 minute walk from Karuizawa station. Take the north exit on the bridge/walkway after coming up from Shinkansen platform, it's the left. There's a tourist info with helpful people at the end of the corridor, and an escalator next to it. Once you come out, with your back to the station, walk straight down the road, and take left at the first traffic light, near the Shell station. The hotel is opposite Family Mart. Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was generous-sized with an ante-room which has a fridge, some storage cupboards and the main room is nice and big with a good-sized bed. They provide 2 bottles of water. You can take day trips to Naka Karuizawa, Shiraiito Falls among other destinations using the bus service outside the station. It's a lot easier if you have Suica card or you will need to carry many 1000 yen notes. On the way back you can you can stop off at Kyu Karuizawa and walk the streets of Old Ginza. It can also be reached by foot, takes about 25-30 minutes.

We stayed at this hotel recently and really appreciated the stay. The stay actually started off bumpy with some misunderstanding of our reservation that had us cramped into a small room with no possibility of adding a roll-away. The young woman who checked us in said there was nothing she could do, so we took her for her word and proceeded to our room. When we got to our room, we realized that we would end up with a disastrous stay contrary to what we were expecting--a wonderful and serene one--as the room was way too small. When the bell person (Rajesh) brought our luggage, we informed him, that the room would not work for our family of four. Though it was not his responsibility per se, Rajesh immediately went to work to seek out any other options we could have to accompany us and, long story short, he helped us stay in a bigger room that was more appropriate--though considered a downgrade. The fact that a bell person would go out of his realm of responsibility to meet our needs was truly appreciated allowing us all to fully enjoy our stay. We ended up having dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and fully appreciated the friendliness and service of the restaurant staff as well as the healthy, delicious, and local foods that were served. There is no doubt we would return to stay there again thanks to Rajesh and his excellent customer service!

I come to Karuizawa every year. This time I chose Mori Four Seasons Villa Hotel for two nights and I was very satisfied. The room is very tidy, the wooden floors are spotless (I don't really like carpets in hotels, they always feel unclean, I prefer floors that look clean, but unfortunately most hotels have carpets), and the kitchen and bathroom seem to be new. The dyson hair dryer and le labo bathroom supplies are top-notch. The most comfortable thing is the bedding. I don’t know why it is so soft and comfortable, full of enveloping feeling, but not hot. It feels like it is breathing close to the body. After asking the boss, I found out that it is a double-layer cotton yarn made by hand using traditional Japanese processes. The cost is very high. It's high, that's why it's so comfortable. I've already asked for the brand information and placed an order in the store, haha. The furniture and decoration in the room are in line with my taste, Nordic fusion Japanese modern style. It was an early spring night and it was still a bit cold in Karuizawa. It was the first time for the children to experience the stove in the room. The flames were very beautiful and the room warmed up in no time. We had dinner next to the nearby Hoshino Onsen on the first night, and had a BBQ bonfire in the yard on the second night. The children were very happy. The building we live in has a large yard and an outdoor wooden floor terrace. Sitting on the outdoor terrace, we look at the scenery of the forest in the yard, Karuizawa in spring, the air and night are so comfortable. The hotel also has employees cleaning the rooms every day at noon. The boss can communicate in Chinese without any barriers. Karuizawa is really suitable for vacation. The experience of the villa hotel is completely different from the ordinary hotels in the past. I like it very much. I will try it when I come back in a different season next time. The owner's wood fired restaurant.

There are three rooms in the two-story villa, one of which has four beds and the other two beds. Each room has a bathtub. The open-air hot spring in the room is very small and can only accommodate one person, but the bathroom has a large jacuzzi and a TV. The vacation is really great. The ski resort is very close, and you can play at the age of three. Aolai has a few big names that are still expensive. The sukiyaki pot and teppanyaki in the hotel are great. If you bring children, it is more suitable than Hoshino, and Hoshino Hot Spring can not go. The hot spring in the hotel is already very good. There is a big supermarket, Delice, which is 15 minutes by taxi. You can buy things and cook in the room. The cooking in the room is very convenient. The waiter can wash the dishes. It is perfect.

The property is very charming and the photos shown are true to actual. Location is a bit far from the station so best to arrange the shuttle bus service or take a cab. Room is neat and cosy and the private onsen is a nice bonus. Breakfast is lovely and the fresh vegetables were amazing however the dinner was a let down as it wasn’t served in the restaurant. Instead we were provided with a voucher for redemption at the bar. The food is just average, beef was not very fresh, and your clothes and hair reek of smell after dinner as they cook the food right at the bar.

We stayed for 2 nights this time on our second stay. 1We stayed in a family room for one night but it was very comfortable with ample size to spend with family 3 people. From the balcony you can see the golf course and Mt. Asama surrounded by nature, and your heart is calm. The hotel here is great with hot springs in the annex. It is very pleasant to be soaked in a bathtub while watching Mt. Asama during the daytime with good weather. The breakfast buffet was firmly equipped with infection measures and I was able to eat with peace of mind. I like it so delicious that fruit juice is added. The hotel staff is soft and only 々 who greets you when you pass. I was able to stay very comfortable.

It's been ９ years since I visited here. The good thing about this hotel is that the room was very large, very private, very relaxing, and I had a meaningful time. This time, I didn't eat at the buffet venue because I was in the corona, so I took it back to my room and ate. I think this was good because I was able to eat while watching TV in the room, and I didn't worry about infection. Is the bath flowing directly from the source? I don't know, but I think it was very good. The negative point is that the Wi-Fi in the room is now cut off in the middle of the pass, and even if it is connected, the speed is slow and useless. ９ I visited for the first time in a year, but the previous Vikings were very satisfied with the number of items, but this time there were not many items, and it was very disappointing that it was the same every day. However, the hotel life with a lot of private feeling is the best. I will use it again next time.

Though abit far from Karuizawa station, but the moment you entered into the hotel it makes you feel like it's all worth it. The size of the room is something not what you'd expect from a typical Japanese hotel, it's really spacious and the moment you entered the suite they provided umbrella in the front of the door for their guest to use. The room is really clean, they offered nicely folded pajamas for the visitors as well as and provided all the sanitary kits you need right inside the room! Next day we were greeted warmly by the reception (that speaks really good English) and she helped us order a taxi to get around to our next stop. Too bad we only get to stay for one night, will definitely come again when we visit Karuizawa again!
