Hakuba Sun Valley Hotel

Although the property is not exactly updated, it was incredibly clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It’s located right in front of the beginners lift and was close proximity to the ski school and shuttle pick up. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Room was functional but very tired/worn. A lot of smelly kerosene heaters to keep things warm, which was not great. I'm 6t'3" and couldn't shower in the tiny bathroom. There is a small functional onsen downstairs, opens at 16:00 but not really warm until about 17:00 o so. Breakfast is functional but pretty plain; not a lot of variety day to day. The family that runs it is LOVELY and very accommodating, I can't praise them enough for the service, but I'd call this a two star property at best.

Very accommodating and family run. Daily meals were fantastic. Rooms and especially the lobby areas need a bit of an upgrade. Great location to the lift though.

The rooms were very clean and beds were nice and firm no dips in the bed. The staff were very helpful and resolved transport issues to the train station

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were absolutely delightful and went out of their way to accommodate any requests including the dietary requirements of one person in our group. We were on the breakfast and dinner meal package and the options each day were fantastic, with a vast selection of European and Japanese options. One thing to note is that the hotel isn’t located in a town centre. Instead, it’s directly opposite a beginner lift in the Imori area, giving easy access to the slopes. The hotel itself is fairly basic, but it’s very clean and the staff more than make up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. There are free hot drinks in the foyer, an onsen, washing/drying facilities and the hotel will provide free transfers to train/bus station (or even to Lawsons/711 if you need supplies!) There’s also a games room with a pool table and table tennis. If you’re looking for nightlife, this probably isn’t the spot for you; but for a relaxed, comfortable tradtitonal Japanese ski stay, we couldn’t fault it.
