Hoteles con Spa en Prefectura de Nagano, Japón

El hotel Indigo Karuizawa de IHG es un espectacular estancia con estilo y encanto local, el diseño se siente fresco y vibrante, las habitaciones son confortables y el ambiente de montaña es maravilloso. Es perfecto para explorar Karuizawa, disfrutar de una gran comida y relajarse en el confort.

The room size was good and the beds were very comfortable. The view in the room was a highlight, overlooking a beautiful green garden with mountains in the background. Walking around the hotel was very enjoyable. The entire area is lush and green, and there is also a lake which adds to the atmosphere. There is an activity area as well, although it is mostly designed for kids and requires an extra fee. Bicycle rental is available, but it was surprisingly expensive, probably the highest I have seen in Japan. The onsen was unfortunately closed for two out of our three nights. We were able to use the onsen at East hotel, but it was not as good as the one in our hotel. A nice touch was the coffee. There is a popular coffee shop in town called Mikado, and the hotel provided their drip coffee for free every day. It was excellent, and when we asked for more, they kindly provided it again at no extra charge. There is also a FamilyMart inside the hotel, which carries some unique regional products. That was quite interesting and a nice detail. The shuttle bus service was always on time, and the drivers were kind and friendly. The nearby shopping mall, which is part of the hotel area, offers many popular brands at relatively good prices. It feels more like an outlet, with slightly older products, but still great for shopping. There are also a few good restaurant options within the mall. I did not have breakfast at the hotel, so I cannot comment on that. Overall, it was a good stay.

El hotel se ha visto muy bien en la ciudad de Kusatsu, pero el servicio de oficina principal es eficiente, pero es un cursor en comparación con la hospitalidad que nos encontramos en la estancia de ryokan. El hotel está muy tranquilo y tiene un ambiente ”frio”. Me decepcionó más cuando nos mostraron nuestra habitación, que estaba en el piso más bajo con una vista simple del jardín. La habitación es muy buena, pero no es muy buena. Aunque me alegraba pagar la tarifa, no puedo ayudar, pero comparar su práctica con todos los hoteles que he estado en todos estos años, donde los cambios de habitación fueron complimentarios mientras el tipo de habitación permanece igual. No obstante, las instalaciones del hotel me encantaron enormemente y me disfruté de la experiencia general. El hotel se encuentra en una sala de comedor con una ventana de vidrio. La habitación de la habitación era muy buena, pero no era muy buena. El otro punto de atención del hotel es la instalación de lanzamiento, que se encuentra en un edificio separado en un terreno superior, accesible a través de un tranvía automático. Aparte de la vista de Asama en el exterior, hay un salón común que tiene una vista igualmente maravillosa de Asama. ¿Qué? ¡Volveré al Príncipe Asama y experimentaré el escenario durante una temporada diferente!

Estuve muy satisfecho con este hotel. La ubicación era excelente, el personal amable y las habitaciones cómodas. La habitación era muy cómoda en cuanto a iluminación, temperatura y ropa de cama. Un elogio especial para el personal de limpieza por mantener la habitación impecablemente limpia. La habitación tenía dos balcones, uno de los cuales ofrecía vistas a la estación de esquí Happo-one. Me alojé seis noches. El desayuno era generalmente el mismo todos los días, pero aun así abundante. Cené en diferentes restaurantes tres noches: la primera noche, una cena buffet en el hotel, con una amplia variedad de comida; la segunda noche, comida occidental en The Forest, junto al hotel; y la tercera noche, comida japonesa en The Forest, junto al hotel. Los tres restaurantes tenían precios razonables y estaban deliciosos. La sala de secado para el equipo de esquí estaba ubicada fuera del hotel. Era una auténtica sala de secado con secador de botas de esquí, a diferencia de algunos hoteles que se autodenominan sala de secado pero en realidad son solo taquillas.

Location - requires abit of walking from the train station, it is not the worst compared to other Onyado/Dormy Inns and was manageable for us. (The worst in my opinion, is the one at Sendai. The one in Kanazawa would require a taxi/bus ride from main JR station.) Reception staff - service attitude differs. In general, they do try their best. Some elude warmth and it reminds me of how Japan was before it was crowded with tourists. 1 or 2 individual younger staff look at tourists and our bags with an expression that seems like a combination of exasperation and derision, and that made me feel uncomfortable. Different Onyado(s) has different rules, this one does not require us to pass locker keys to the front desk which is great. All Onyado(s) tend to have this odd layout in the rooms whereby the TV is NOT aligned with our beds. We ended up not using the TV! I appreciate how this Onyado took note of my request for more pillows and they were ready in the room when I got there. (See picture - pillows in black bags.) The extra pillows are extremely essential because Onyado/Dormy Inn pillows tend to be extremely flat & provides little/no support. Breakfast spread was a little disappointing - there was very little fresh seafood (e.g. no mentaiko). Beef was too overcooked and the drink machine ran out of oolong tea the night before and was still not replenished at breakfast. Across the different Onyado(s)/Dormy Inns I have stayed at, breakfast at this one can be skipped.

Had a really pleasant stay overall. The place was very clean and well-maintained, and the location was convenient for getting around. Service was excellent 👍 staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Amenities were also complete and comfortable. Would definitely recommend for couples looking for a smooth and enjoyable stay.

I stayed at this hotel for one night, and overall, it was quite a pleasant experience. I really liked my room — it was clean, modern, and comfortable. The only thing that surprised me was that the window to the balcony didn’t open, though I suppose it was designed that way. The onsen was absolutely wonderful — spacious, relaxing, and with a beautiful view of a mountain river. Definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The hotel also offers many different areas for leisure and entertainment. You can play table tennis, relax in cozy rest zones, visit small cafés and shops — there’s a lot to explore without even leaving the building. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a wide variety of food to choose from. However, due to the number of guests, it was a bit challenging for the staff to manage everything smoothly. On two occasions, someone almost took my table, even though I had already placed the reservation card on it to show it was taken. That said, the staff overall were very pleasant, friendly, and helpful, and I appreciated their attitude throughout my stay. This hotel is clearly family-oriented, with many families staying with young children. There are rooms with child-friendly designs and dedicated play areas, so if you’re looking for a quiet, adult-only atmosphere, this might not be the best fit. That said, I genuinely enjoyed my stay and would consider coming back.

This is the first time I stayed at a Hoshino resort. Perhaps my expectations were too high.  Food quality was the best reason to stay here. The restaurant offers an elaborate menu. The onsen is the next big feature of the hotel. It was not as big as seen in the advertisement. Perhaps wide angle was used. Location was not great. Not much to do nearby. The free transfers to Omachi helped to kill time if you have no plan to ski at Hakuba.  Service was patchy. Below are two examples: 1) Asked reception about train tickets conditions in general but the response was we are not train company. We know that but would appreciate help in calling into the train company or checking their website in Japanese. 2) Over a supposedly fancy dinner, the server was rushing us to finish by asking us to move unfinished food items from one plate or another by ourselves to make space for the next dish. I would have expected the server to wait for us. On another occasion, the server left the next dish on the table, with lid closed, without explaining what it is. We were not sure if we should start eating or wait. The server came back in a few minutes realizing that she had not explained to us yet and apologized.  With better service and things to do nearby, the hotel will see happier customers.

We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The hostess is incredibly welcoming and a genuinely lovely person — she even kindly drove us to the train station, which we deeply appreciated. The breakfast was outstanding, and the onsen was beautiful and very peaceful. Having a private onsen was especially convenient, as it allowed us to enjoy the experience together as a family without needing to separate. Our room was very spacious and authentically Japanese, with excellent-quality bedding. The mattresses, pillows, and high quality shits  were exceptionally comfortable and made for a perfect night’s sleep. A lovely touch was the complimentary milk served in adorable small glass bottles — delicious and charming. The location is simply ideal: perfectly situated near public onsens and great restaurants, truly the best location one could imagine. We would happily return and highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for comfort, authenticity, and warm hospitality.

Our staying here was a pure pleasure! And I must say, it exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the check-in process smooth and hassle-free. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring. The location of the hotel is fantastic, sarrounded by montains and river. The free shuttle from Chino Station makes getting here quite easy. Enjoying the onsen was a delightful experience, offering pleasure for all your senses: the hot spring water, the sounds of nature, the beautiful scenery. The traditional kaiseki dinner was exceptional! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing fresh, local ingredients. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with a perfect blend of spices. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience that complemented the serene surroundings perfectly! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to escape and rejuvenate in nature, have a comfortable and pleasant holiday away from the noisy and crowded big city. I can't wait to return during other season! Thank you!
