The property was not what we expected. The cabins are very far from the main town and front desk so we wasted alot of time waiting for buses in the rain. The pictures are a bit misleading as is the reception as the cabins are old and had no air-conditioning. I wouldn't recommend if you are expecting it to reflect the photos.

KPH Guest Service Center Smile Concierge was a welcome surprise after exiting the Karuizawa Station exit. The persons at the GSCSC were extremely helpful and gave me all sorts of guidance for my stay which proved to be very useful Appreciated the shuttle which runs from KPH GSCSC Karuizawas Station to the Karuizawa Prince Hotel. The hotel was quiet, clean and has a coin laundry which was very convienient.

We rented a cottage, but the room looked like it hadn’t been updated since the 1970s. There were also a lot of ants on our bed, along with some spiders. The A/C didn’t work in the morning, and it was quite cold. They offered to change our room, but it was too inconvenient to move at night, so we just put up with it. Additionally, they charge cottage guests for using the hot spring, which was disappointing. Overall, we were very disappointed with the experience.

Room I stayed had beautiful view of ski resort, but it was very quiet, also how they arranged the bathroom and toilet and wash basins was very nice to shared by two persons and with privacy. Also hotel offered very nice public bath, which I would like to recommand very highly. However, choice of food could of been wider, but all and all this place was alot better located and offed better food than other hotels I stayed at Karuizawa before.

Service Quality Needs Improvement

1. I experienced unhelpful behavior from bus drivers on two circular routes and felt discriminated against as a Chinese tourist. On several occasions, they required us to exit the bus and take the one in the opposite direction, even though both routes are circular and follow the same path. 2. The bus schedule is insufficient to meet the demand, resulting in buses that are always packed with people 3. The hot spring services close at 7pm. This early closure is quite unexpected and inconvenient, as it is common for guests to enjoy the hot springs after dinner, well beyond 7pm.

Unhelpful staff. No concierge desk and staff unwilling to help make phone calls for dining reservations. Amenities quality doesn’t match the room price. Shuttle jam packed with ppeople and luggages. Convenient location and clean environment. Onsen in good condition. Good place for ski beginners. Convenient place for ski in and out but the rooms are rather small.
