Glamday Style Hotel & Resort Kyu-Karuizawa

The hotel is conveniently located at the end of the main shopping street in Karuizawa, and it’s relatively new, the room size is huge in comparison to most of the older hotels in the city. The in-house restaurant is also a great place for Italian food in town. However, you will be greatly disappointed if you are looking to gain experience with its amenities. There is basically no amenities other than a public bath. The price tag is extremely high considering there is almost no amenities to offer except for a room to stay, and they even mandatory charge ¥10,000 for a kid between 3 to 12 per night. Moreover, they also charge ¥1500 for child below 3 years old for breakfast. For the same price, one can get much better choice such as Nikko Ritz Carlton or Nikko Fufu. There are a few good things about the hotel, for example, more than half of the staff can speak fluent English, some of them can even speak perfect English or Mandarin. Secondly, most of the staff is friendly and willing to help. Thirdly, dinner was exceptional!

We enjoyed this hotel during a brief getaway during the summer to escape the Tokyo heat. The hotel is located in a very nice location in old Karuizawa (Kyo-Karuizawa), close to many nice restaurants and little shops, while also being very quite. Rooms are very large and modern, the hotel has its own hot spring (onsen), and high speed internet is free. Very friendly staff and a large and tasty breakfast buffer. We definitely plan to visit again.

Very nice hotel which is close to all the sightseeing places

Loved every bit of this hotel from its ambience, interior design to amenities and service. Highly recommended!

Nice service and onsen
