The room was very nice and I was satisfied with the soundproofing. I don't know if it was because I was assigned a room at the end.

Stayed at 20,000 yen per night including breakfast.First of all, it's a good location. It's close to the shopping plaza and Hanire? It was right in the middle of the terrace and the stone church, and there were many restaurants nearby, making it easy to move around.The room was extremely small, dusty and unsanitary.It was supposed to have a courtyard, but it turned out to be a courtyard with untended weeds.Voices from the hallway can be heard throughout the room.It's not very much, but I can't take my time.In addition, there is an open-air bath that can be reserved for 45 minutes, but since they want many customers to use it, they are not able to clean it every time.Therefore, it is in the same condition as the one used before.I don't know why, but when I get out of the bath, my body feels like it's covered with a film, and I have to wash myself with tears.Another bedrock bath? However, the four corners of the room were not very clean and I didn't feel like using it.They claim that you can get vegetables for your meals, but there were only 4 to 5 types of cut vegetables in place of raw vegetables. Do you mean fresh vegetables?The miso soup was instant, and there was no rice in the rice cooker, so I asked the staff, but they didn't replenish it. Viking? ? There is nothing to eat. If you're going to use this as a slogan, I think you should try a little harder.Many of the staff members are very young, and they are very active and energetic.However, on the contrary, it looks like it is run by students.There was a photo folder in the room that said "How to spend your time at Longing House", but it is not really helpful for adults.I think it's the price for Karuizawa, but there were many disappointing things about this room and this breakfast, and it was a very difficult hotel for someone over 40.Check-out was at 11 o'clock, but perhaps they were cleaning other rooms, so around 10 o'clock they put out all the cleaning tools and amenities in front of the door of the room we were staying in and placed them on the floor. .I passed by the cleaning staff, but when I said good morning to them, they didn't even look at me and said nothing.This is a hotel for young children. I think it's not suitable for people who come to enjoy a summer resort for adults.

We had a 4-course weekday dinner, and everything inside the restaurant, in the courtyard, and with the lighting was lovely.The service was also very good with a smile.However, it was far from the photo; there was no Karuizawa salad at all, and everything else other than the bread was lukewarm and served in very small quantities. The sweets were delicious enough to leave behind.It's a wonderful restaurant, so please do your best.

I went to Karuizawa on a maternity trip, so I looked it up on Instagram and decided to come here. |It takes about 5 minutes by car from the station and costs ¥1500 by taxi. …

The timing seemed to be good, and I was excited to move into the room as it had been upgraded from my original room, and I found a strange layout.I had made a reservation for two of my friends, but there was only one mini table and one chair. In the end, neither of them sat down even once. lolA sofa bed in the corner of the room? Although it was equipped with a sofa, it was a little too deep and difficult to use as a sofa. Also, the edges were made of a wooden frame and were hard, so I don't think it would have been a comfortable place to sit on.The TV is also difficult to watch due to the angle. lolA garden to the extent that I'm sorry? Terrace seats? There was one, but it didn't seem to have been cleaned very well, with dead leaves and spider webs... It was a bit of an unpleasant space to brew coffee and relax.For some reason, there were two chairs placed outside. lolI wonder if the idea was that we would sit outside and relax while drinking tea or alcohol after dinner. ? But I don't like that terrace seat...I was curious about the private bath.・The key is shaky and I can't stand it...・The time limit is 45 minutes, but there doesn't seem to be any cleaning in between, so I'm worried about the hair of the person in front of me...・There were no towels in the changing area of ​​the private room. It seems that it was a system where each person brought their own food from a shelf installed in the hallway.Maybe I just overlooked it, but there was no sign anywhere in the private room, so I ended up looking for a towel for a while.Also, something I noticed this morning.The room is dark! ! !This time I stayed on the first floor, and was there a garden? The trees in the room were unexpectedly overgrown, and even though it was a sunny day, the morning sun did not come into the room at all.In the morning, it was really dark unless I turned on all the lights in the room.This time, my friend who was with me went there last time and the breakfast was delicious, so I want to go again! ! So I decided on it, but was disappointed because although it seemed to be the same menu, it seemed to have a completely different taste.I liked the taste overall.By the way, the dinner was a course meal, but each dish was a bit small, so I went there almost hungry looking forward to the meal, so I felt a little unsatisfied.Overall.Although the quantity was small, the food was delicious both in the morning and at night, but the room was a bit disappointing considering the price.There are almost no repeats.
