The room had old facilities but was clean.There was no musty or musty smell that everyone said.Although fallen leaves can't be helped on the terrace, what do you think about the table being full of sand? There are not many electrical outlets and they are difficult to plug in. A heater is installed in front of the outlet.Space is too small to useSome things cannot be stabbed.dinner eaten in the roomBouillabaisse-style pot with lots of ingredientsI laughed because there were so few ingredients.Where did all the ingredients go?Not even a regular bouillabaisseI don't have enough to eat it in a hot pot.Closed from the beginning? I made it to risotto. It's a shame because the taste is good

There are pros and cons to this facility, but I stayed at Train Village Cottage A Building No. 201. First of all, the ``mold smell'' is often talked about, but in the bedroom where the bed was located, there was definitely a smell, whether it was moldy or dusty. It may be due to the carpet. Since we were staying with two people, we used the bedroom as a place to store our luggage and slept on a futon in the Japanese-style room, so it wasn't a problem.Also, the TV was a 32-inch LCD TV, and there were no problems with Wi-Fi (however, the number of power supplies was limited, so the Wi-Fi outlet was unplugged at the beginning). The toilet had a hot water washer.However, one of the two gas stoves could not be used (gas was coming out, so there seemed to be a problem with the ignition part...if you had something like a Chukkaman, you might be able to ignite it), and the bathroom was cleaned. The bathtub was rough because it wasn't covered, the lid of the bathtub was an odd size and the lid fell into the bathtub, the holes in the shower were clogged and the shower was a mess, and the door and screen were not installed properly. Unfortunately, the screen door tends to come off, and the screen door was torn, but was repaired with tape, there was no air conditioner, the overall lighting was dim, and one of the three light bulbs in the living room was burnt out, for two people. Even though I stayed for 3 nights, for some reason I only received 5 bath towels (linen for the entire day was placed when I entered the room, so cleaning was not included), there were basically no amenities, and there were no hangers in the bedroom closet, only in the Japanese-style closet. There were hangers, the plates were greasy, etc.Next is the terrace, first of all the tables and chairs are dirty. If possible, I would like something like a scrubbing brush. In addition, the terrace seats have a good view from outside, so you can often make eye contact with other customers walking around the premises. We were on the second floor, but in that sense, people on the first floor may not only be able to feel the gaze from the windows, but also from the terrace.You might think that I came back really angry after writing this far, but since I had researched it beforehand, my only impression is that it was better than I expected (lol). There were sponges and detergent for both the bathroom and the dishes, so I figured I could just wash them myself. If possible, I would have liked the sponge in the bathroom to be larger instead of the small kitchen-sized one. If you rent a hot plate (for a fee) and eat at the dining table, you won't have any problems even if you don't have a stove. I had brought everything I needed in advance, so I was able to spend a comfortable time in a spacious space. There was no particular discomfort with the futons in the Japanese-style room.However, since the screen door is the lifeline of a room without an air conditioner in the summer, I would like you to take good care of the screen door. If the building is poorly constructed and there are gaps, it's easy for insects to get in (although I had brought strong mosquito coils with me, so I didn't have any problems).If you have too high expectations for a ``Karuizawa condominium,'' you may not be able to live with it, but if you understand the above and bring what you need, you will be comfortable. I felt like if I could stay in a condominium in a summer resort for this price, I could just put in the effort on my part.Please note that we do not know if the facilities in this building are the same for all buildings. I may be making some changes, so please use this as a reference only.

I travel a lot with my family, but I am posting this because the quality of the room was by far the worst ever. The price is low, but the quality is far below the price paid for this content. …

The passenger cars preserved here are valuable items and will probably cost a lot of money to maintain, but I would definitely like to stay there if it becomes possible.

I stayed overnight because I couldn't go home suddenly and it was cheap, but I saw a small dog barking at the dog park from 5:30 in the morning, and I thought it was impossible. It may be famous as a hotel where dogs can stay, but I think it's too selfish.

Kishu Railway Karuizawa Hotel.I stayed here without meals during Silver Week.I stayed at Train Village Cottage (2nd floor).The premises are quite large.It's quiet and dark at night, and the soothing sounds of insects soothe you. On the contrary, it's too dark (lol)There is plenty of parking.This was my first time using it, but the train village cottage where I stayed is a very old building.It was 5000 yen per person for 4 people.Since it's high season, I think it's still pretty cheap.It was quite cool at night.There was no air conditioning to begin with, so it was quite cool, so I slept with the window open and a blanket wrapped around me, but it was still cold in the morning.The train village cottage has quite spacious rooms, so it might have been perfect for a golf trip just for guys.

We stayed in a maisonette type room in the east building with my wife and child and my parents, and we had a great day in a quiet and homely atmosphere♪ Some of the facilities are quite old, but this cheap hotel For the price, there's nothing to complain about. I was worried because some people were complaining about it in the reviews, but I guess you shouldn't complain when you pay a cheap price.
