The hotel is in a very good location right next to imori, hakuba47, and Hakuba goryu ski areas. When you wake up and have breakfast, you can go skiing right in front of your eyes. There is a place to rent ski gear very close to the hotel. The room has 2 very private beds. Spacious and comfortable, staff can speak English well, food is provided for breakfast and dinner, very suitable for my taste, at the reception desk they sell lift tickets for 5400 yen which is cheaper than normal. Buy ticket at the station for 6500¥, lift ticket can be used for all 3 ski resorts, there is a ski school nearby which is very convenient for new skiers like me. We needed to go to the supermarket to buy things and Uncle Yori was very enthusiastic to take us there. Thank you very much 🙏🏻. We were guided by the hotel and picked us up at the bus station and also took us to the bus station back to Nagano station. Thank you very much for giving us many good experiences here. The elevator is a bit old but it's okay. Hot water packages are provided for free in the lobby 24/7.

We are first time skiers, so ski lessons were essential. As Limori ski resort is where the ski school were. Sun Valley Hakuba were the only hotels near to the slope, ski rental etc. There were 2 hotels of the same name . Annex is newer but the price is doubled . I managed to contact 小万 over phone call and booked directly . I managed to opt out the dinner and save a lot of $. She went thru the extra miles to help us to have a enjoyable stays , booking the restaurants and fetch us there if taxi is not available. Uncle Kinoshita was so helpful too, he fetched us from Hakuba station, after knowing my daughter snow shoe spoilt, he detoured to a mall, allow to pick up a new pair before heading to hotel.While some mentioned that the building is outdated, but i think they upkeep the room really well, clean and tidy. The futon were thin initially but they beefed it up upon request.Breakfast is simple and basic , if can add some variation for long stayers that will be ideal.Thank you so much to 小万And Uncle Kinoshita !

It looks very beautiful from the outside, but when you walk inside, you will see that it is a huge courtyard. Room 208 only has a small curtain, and the indoor smell is not good. I want to open the window to get some air, but outside the window is the abandoned nozzle of the hotel, and there is thick car exhaust. The smell is really terrible! The room hygiene is very average, the toilet is not clean, there are several bedbugs on the bed, the towels are also very poor, and there is no soundproofing at all. The price is 5 stars and the facilities are one star. I will not go there again. The only advantage is the location, opposite the ski resort, which is very convenient for skiing. All in all, the price/performance ratio is very poor. Because there is no choice, during the ski season, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, so the boss is very confident and does not care about the quality of the hotel.

This hotel was better than expected, this hotel is a little old but the location is incredible the lift is across the street - we arrived by bus to Hakuba and the driver for the hotel was able to pick us up from the bus station. We had dinner and breakfast included in our stay, the first night was a hot pot so nice to have staying the snow. They no longer have a rental shop at the hotel but have an offer just 5 mins walk up the road.We will be back in the next few years our stay was so good and the staff were super lovely.

The appearance is completely deceiving. The room is very simple and small. Even the hot water in the bathroom is sometimes not available (we went skiing in winter). It’s a bit unreasonable to pay 4,000 Hong Kong dollars a day for a family of three. (The last plus point is that the sister at the front desk speaks multiple languages ​​and explains carefully)......

Our stay at the Sun Valley Hotel was nothing short of a nightmare. The customer service was abysmal, and their lack of transparency with bed arrangements left us feeling frustrated and deceived. The futons provided were nothing short of pathetic, adding insult to injury.To make matters worse, our experience felt uncomfortably tinged with racism. The entire ordeal left us questioning the integrity of the establishment. A particularly egregious detail was the pricing strategy for family rooms. Beware of their sly tactics – charging per person rather than per room. Our initial expectation of a $2200 weekly rate for a family room skyrocketed to an outrageous $7000. The discrepancy between the website's information, claiming accommodation for five, and the reality of only three beds on-site, was infuriating. Sun Valley Hotel's deceptive practices and inadequate amenities have left us deeply dissatisfied and caution anyone considering a stay there.
