The hotel was very convenient.If you arrive early the hotel will hold your luggage. The room was very spacious compared to Japanese standards. The room was clean. The Japanese breakfast had many items to choose from. If you’re not going around in a car this hotel is great and before the hotel from the station, the tourist information office is there. The Biei tourist office runs a tour bus around Biei twice a day. Also get your train and bus schedules. The trains comes every 2 hours after the summer season, so you have to time yourself wisely.

It was good. Breakfast was nice

The choices for the breakfast were very limited. There was no fruit and even cereal. Also, the standard of the food was below average. However, the room was very spacious and I particularly liked the bathtub.

Great location. Quiet. Large room. Bed too firm for me. Good food at the restaurant.

Clean, comfortable bed. Quiet environment. It's just walking distance to JR Station.

The hotel is very simple but comfortable and clean. Very conveniently located for skiing different areas of central Hokkaido. Breakfast selection was ok, somewhat limited. And the lady working as a waitress was very grumpy.

Honestly, this property is very outdated, and if there was another hotel in town or airbnb, I would've easily booked those instead. We paid around $140 USD for one night, and I did not think it was worth it. Everything was very old and looked like it needed a major upgrade.

Nice stay, neat and clean and big room; close by free car park

Well in and well located, our experience at this otherwise good value for money hotel was marred by a disappointing and rather bizarre breakfast experience each day. Food choices were poor/almost non existent for those with western breakfast tastes, quantities were minimal requiring one to constantly badger staff for refills of basic items such as yoghurt, water etc and every move we made was closely monitored by beady eyed kitchen staff who ticked us off if we broke unwritten rules eg taking a sip of coffee while waiting for the machine to make a second cup for my husband, or taking butter from near the potatoes for my bread roll instead of margarine from near the bread. All very odd.

Like: Variety of breakfast, location (a few minutes from Biei Station), Room comfort Dislike: None

The hotel is clean and tidy. It’s very close to the biei station.

I had a pleasant 2-night stay here in a standard twin room which was spacious and tidy. The only problem I had was the smell of smoke. I booked a non-smoking room and the first night was fine but unfortunately the second night I could smell smoke was wasn't so pleasant. I'm not sure if it wafted into our room via the aircon or how. Breakfast was included and there was a selection of japanese and western options. It was yummy - it had a comfort, home-cooked feel to it. Location of the hotel was nice a close to the station - only a few minutes walk. There's also a big supermarket within walking distance. Staff at the hotel were nice. The hotel has a gift shop attached but it does not have any onsen facility. Overall I had a pleasant stay and would consider staying here again.

Hotel is next to the Tourist Information Centre which provides day tours for tourists who don't drive / cycle. Breakfast is provided but the variety depends on the number of guests that are staying in the hotel. It is a convenient and quiet place to stay. Stayed during the start of May.

Comfortable stay,near JR station,free parking.

Very clean and relatively big room by Japanese standard. We had a connecting room and it’s great for friends and families just having a small problem to close the connecting door and need the staff help and upon our call they came up immediately. Breakfast is simple and nice!

It has the feel of a communal dorm more than a hotel. Restaurant close early. But it’s clean and good with friendly staff, so if you are not fussy, a convenient stop after a visit to the blue pond.

Great hotel with a nice quiet surroundings. Friendly staffs and the manager who check us in was well aware of our arrival.

The hotel is just next to a community centre, bi.yell, where you get to play the board games. The surrounding is quiet and it has been a very pleasant experience.

The hotel location is in central of Biei, walking distance to many places like restaurants & post office.

It is indeed a very good experience as it is very near to the station, around 5min walk. You jus have to pass by the Tourist INformation centre and you will reach reach the hotel. Hence it is convenient for us as we have booked the one day tour for Biei Blue Pond Trip so we do not have to travel so far as Biei is a small town hence normal transport is a bit inaccessible, thus it is advisable to book this hotel. The room is big, and accomodate another bed, as we have 3 pax sharing. The receptionist is nice and allowed us to deposit our bags first, soon after that, he already helped us placed them in the respective room when we checked in. Since we have 3 pax, all the toiletries are in 3, it is really very nice and considerate of them. Also the breakfast spread is good, mini buffet style, though varieties cannot be compared to the big and luxurious hotels, but the food are nice, got porridge, rice, bread, miso soup, tamago, turnips, very delicious especially with such a cold weather, a nice warm porridge beats all food. For those interested, do book early, as the hotel is only have 2nd storey for accomodation, so grab it fast!
