Hakuba Sun Valley Hotel

The location is great for ski in and ski out. The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful. The photos of the hotel on the booking site were honest.

The location is a little remote and you need a taxi or shuttle to get around. The restaurant and lounge were not available for relaxing after skiing and the only place to socialise was in the room. The rooms were small but as expected. The hotel is a little run down and could do with some renovation.

The lodge is in a great location for ski in and ski out. The hotel is at the bottom of a great beginner run with direct chair lift access to more advanced ski terrain. The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful. Drinks and ice cream are available in the foyer.

The lodge is very run down and needs some renovation, the breakfast cooked products were always cold and there were few offerings for western taste. There is no lounge area available to relax or socialise and after skiing the only place to relax is in your room. We were not permitted to stay in the restaurant area and the open fire was never lit. The area is a little remote and the shuttle bus to this location is infrequent and does not run late. Taxis in and out of town cost around $30 a trip.
