Great accommodation experience, but unfortunately the service was not as expectedThe hotel is very beautiful, the location is great, the rooms are very comfortable, my favorite is the outdoor hot spring, and you can enjoy a delicious French dinner in the evening. The first time I visited, I gave it full marks, but the second time I brought my family to visit, I got less than expected service.I left a message on the booking website in advance saying that my family does not eat beef, and there was a reminder when I checked in. I was prompted again at dinner, but my family was actually allowed to eat beef. The important thing is that the service staff had already reminded me, and they did not take the initiative to change it, and they asked me to specifically request it. I just changed the ingredients, which made my family very unhappy. This is my second visit, which is really a pity.

This season, roses and hydrangeas are beautifully planted at the entrance, which adds to the excitement.The location is easy to reach both Karuizawa Station and Old Karuizawa Station.Dinner time was a blissful time, and we enjoyed a French full course meal.The smiling customer service of the employees was also impressive.Although it was a short stay, I was able to fully enjoy the resort feeling.

This is an inn that has been carefully considered as a luxury inn.Each and every hotel staff member treats you with courtesy and cleanliness.The rooms were clean and I was satisfied.Dinner was a French full course meal, which was also delicious.The large public bath is on the rooftop, and the location is great.It would be even better if it was a hot spring, but maybe it's too luxurious? It's boiled water, but outdoor is also good.The breakfast is surprisingly average, but the check-out time is also slow, making this an inn where you can enjoy sightseeing in Karuizawa in a leisurely manner.

Although it is a little far from Karuizawa Station, it is in the perfect location for sightseeing in Karuizawa.The hotel rooms are well-cleaned, comfortable and quiet. The staff was very attentive and I thoroughly enjoyed Karuizawa. We asked for a surprise for our 44th wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be an emotional one for both of us. Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. I would say it's a recommended hotel.We will also use it.

Spacious clean roomsGood service from staffReasonably good breakfastLocation perfect to explore old Ginza shopping street and there’s good yakiniku and tempura round the cornerOnly issue I had was that they charge $50 to rent a baby cot instead of it being complementary, and I only rented it for 1 night instead of 2
