Chalet Shiga

Llegamos hacer el check in y la persona en mostrador muy grosera, creo que hasta le molestaba que le preguntaras algo, no nos había tocado algo parecido aquí en Japón, pero el personal del restaurante monkey muy amables, en el primer piso del hotel puedes rentar todo los que necesites para esquiar y las pistas las tienes a pasos eso hizo que la estancia fuera más agradable

El personal muy amable. Los alimentos deliciosos. La ubicación cerca de las pistas muy bueno. Buen lugar para alojarse si deseas visitar la zona

Pluses Great quality ski rental on site Pleasant staff Excellent dinners - set menu which needs to be reserved by 5pm the day before. Proxmity to ski slopes Cleanliness Minuses Rooms are a little outdated and in need of refreshing. Mesh screens outside windows are not attached so they nearly crashed to the ground when I opened the window. Western style room has en-suite which is very small - like an enclosed cubicle with a high step into it - similar to what you might find in a cabin of an overnight ferry. The worst thing about the room (for me) was the constant noise of the pipes at night. There is a notice in the room to explain how the heating works and an apology for any inconvenience caused by the overnight noise. Given that the lounge area closes at 10pm and there isn’t anything else to do in the are, there is little choice but to return to the room at 10pm - just about exactly the time the noisy pipes start! There are no amenities in the area, it was especially hard to find somewhere other than the hotel to eat. This may be different at other times of year - maybe more is open/accessible, we were there mid March. There is a choice of other hotels (if they are open) but it will be a limited menu and the 2 we are at were very average experiences. We had a delicious platter of beef at Yakiniku restaurant. We found one or two convenience stores (in hotel lobbies) with irregular opening times and not much stock.

Nice room and onsen. Excellent staff. Enjoyed the food and photography exhibit.

Fantastic location, right opposite on of the ski lifts - with beautiful views of the mountain from our room. The room was simple but all we needed with toilet/sink and kettle. The heater was efficient, keeping us warm. The Onsen and sauna were fantastic and clean - a welcome relief from the cold to relax our tired muscles. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of choice, and the tea and coffee station was a nice addition. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge area in the morning enjoying a cup. The storeroom was very convenient for drying out our boots and boards and it was great that the hire of boots was all under one roof in the chalet. Would definitely recommend this accommodation with friendly staff!
