Beware when booking to stay at Hotel Madarao. We had an awful experience at this accommodation. The facilities are completely run down and staff are unprofessional. Despite calling itself a "Hotel", this is just a youth hostel. …

Location is 10/10.. any closer and you’d be sleeping on the chairlifts! Service was amazing, staff were beyond helpful and friendly. The accomodation itself is great; theres a space for any traveller. Apartments are spacious and modern and 100% worth the little bit extra. Overall this place is great and I will be recommending to all my clients!

Following on from our stay in Hakuba, we moved onto Madarao. The hotel is as you'd expect for this price, very functional and could've used some manner of chair or table. The beds were SO comfortable, though and something to look forward to after a long day. The mountain and village itself are much more traditional and you're more likely to see more Japanese than Hakuba.Overall a good stay, and the conditions were perfect. Right place for the right people....
