Guest Reviews
- Gary (9/5): -
- Isabella (9/5): Cosy with thoughtful amenities. - My bed was very comfortable and room was warm. Excellent location, close to any ski shuttle. I really appreciate the attention to detail including the kettle and fridge provided in my room, teas, coffee, hot and cold water available in the reception area. I never had to wait for the toilet or shower which was great. Always clean. The host was very nice, gave a tour on arrival and helped when my phone died.
- osh J (10/5): Delicious breakfast, convenient transportation, and the opportunity to experience Japanese style. - This is a traditional Japanese-style pension hotel. I was very satisfied with the breakfast, and it's a 3-minute walk to the bus stop for the free shuttle bus.
- Roger (7/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Very impressed with this property, great location, great value and fantastic hosts. We will return. - Breakfast was very good, the owner and his wife could not have been more helpful. I was very impressed with their eagerness to please in all circumstances as well as their knowledge of the area and suggestions to make our trip easier. There is nothing I can think of that I didn't like. Some other guests were loud with the doors on occasion, but that has nothing to do with the owner of the property, thats just inconsiderate customers.
- Stephanie (7/5): - Great location for shuttle and restaurants. Great facilities. It was so noisy at night. It is directly opposite a nightclub. They have events on Wednesday and loud music continues until 2am.
- Alice (8/5): - Great location in echoland. Owner really cares about his property. Spacious 3 bedroom condo. Between the main areas, quite chilly where the bathroom was.
- Sawyer (8/5): Accommodating. -
- Neil (10/5): - Location superb. Very nice touches like the host putting boot warmers in everyones boit overnight. Host a real hero when our car got stuck in the snow and needed towing out.
- Agnieszka (10/5): Perfect stay - We loved our stay at the Eastmountain pension. From the most welcoming hosts to the location and spacious rooms and a very comfortable dry/skiroom, everything was perfect.
- Gabriel (10/5): Essencial - A acomodação está próximo das principais atrações turísticas e restaurantes. Além da variedade de bares, é possível ir caminhando para as pistas de esqui. O host também foi muito atencioso durante toda a estadia!
- Nut (8/5): Comfy place otherwise - Clean, and close to the city Sounds from nearby rooms are noisy in the morning and evening.
- Michiel (9/5): Great would recommend - Host very kind and helpfull, rooms and house very clean and great location! Nothing..simply go
- Jet (10/5): Great Value - Good location in echoland, close to shuttle bus stops, restaurants, hire shops & a fairly easy 20 min walk to 7-11 in Misorano.
- Nick (10/5): - Comfortable, warm and well-located. A very nice owner who serves a great breakfast each day.
- Lucia Daniela (7/5): Okay stay - The property is nice, what I expected. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly. The shared toilet and bathroom were okay clean and available every time I needed them, room was comfortable and cozy, heater was individual and great and drying room was highly effective. The property is well located in a main street of Ecoland, so if you book classes, you have Evergreen shuttle bus a few meters away right in front of a Central Snowsports rental location. That was a good logistical combo I didn’t know about before going. I felt sometimes hallways smelled humid, and although it looked clean, the toilet room had its own unpleasant smell too. You can see the time has passed in some things but nothing terrible.
- Anthony (9/5): - Good location, fastidiously maintained
- Cameron (10/5): -
- Rhonda CS (7/5): - Location was great! The owner is a little nosy, sorry but true,. Snow was not cleaned off the steps of hand rails so it was very slippery going in and out of the accomodation.
- terue (2/5): 泊まらなければ良かったと思う - 暖房が中々暖かくならず、寒い部屋で我慢した
- Emi (6/5): -
- Speller (7/5): -
- Ellie (7/5): The owner was lovely and was very helpful - Is great location in Echoland. Exholand is a great place to stay to go to all of the mountains in the hakuba valley. The rooms are large and spacious with a smart tv which was lovely to unwind after long days snowboarding. The shared bathroom was clean. It is a well laid out property with dry room and place for snowboards.
- Mattis (7/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Very clean and warm room, great location close to buses and food
- Yuko (7/5): Location location location - Location location location. Needed to learn the shuttle bus arrangements. Once we have learned that, we realised that the accommodation was in the best location for the bus stops nor both HV buses and free shuttle buses (T1 and E1) No shared kitchen facilities. There are a toaster and microwave. If you prepare to make your own breakfast the owner lent us limited cutleries. The dry room is not really for drying equipment. Very cold all the time.
- YUTAO (7/5): -
- Okada (7/5): -
- SHINICHI (8/5): ありがとうございます！ - 居心地が良い。清潔感。 設備は少し古い
- YUKO (10/5): いい宿見つけた - オーナーが親切で信頼できる
- SHINICHI (8/5): -
- Yoshiko (3/5): スタッフの応対が最悪 - 多少古いけど、普通に快適です。 少々複雑なことになると日本語がまともに通じません。非常に怒りっぽく、接客態度としては最低の体験でした。
- Nicholas (8/5): Rustic ski lodge in the heart of Echoland - The place has a rustic ski lodge feel to it and the owners make you feel like you are staying with a distant uncle and aunty who will prepare you breakfast in the morning if you ask nicely. The room was cosy and warm and the beds were comfortable. Bathing area and toilets were kept clean during our stay. There was a coin operated washer and dryer available to use and also a dry room and storage area for skis and snowboard gear. The location is pretty hard to beat within steps to the middle of the Echoland main strip where there are plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from. There are buses that shoot off from the Main Street to allow you to easily chase the Japow at all the different ski resorts around Hakuba. There is only one local convenience store JahJah’s but it opens late and closes early by Japanese standards (8:00am - 9:00pm).
- Nat (9/5): Cozy and warm in convenient location. - We stayed for almost two weeks and it felt like a home away from home. It reminded me of Bavaria in Germany - the cozy kitchen, the fireplace, the beams on the ceiling. It's a traditional pension-style accommodation and breakfast is optional. There is always free tea and coffee in the kitchen area. If you are skiing or snowboarding, there is a drying room for all your gear. The place is run by a lovely couple and they explain everything. The pillows were quite flat and it's best to ask for an extra pillow, especially if you have neck issues. If you are renting a car, be aware that there is so much snow sometimes that the carpark is not available (it wasn't available during our entire stay)
- Max (8/5): Very good - Spacious, great dry room for your ski gear, friendly staff, well heated Shared showers
- Caupin (10/5): Great house - Great place Too many drunk auzzies outside
- Lisako (8/5): Def worth a stay when you come. - The owners are wonderful. What a treat. You should def come here. Breakfast was delicious too!
- Brett (10/5): - Great accommodation, clean and well maintained. Friendly helpful staff. Wonderful location. I recommend staying here. 👍
- Mick (5/5): Passable - Good location. Good price Beds were hard, pillows agonisingly bad
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (9/5): Superb -
- Ryan (8/5): Very central location, great beds, happy management. - Host were welcoming, location was very central, rooms were clean and beds were super comfortable. Comfy beds, variety of breakfast. Close to shuttle buses.
- Jessica (6/5): Pleasant -
- Chris (6/5): - Room was basic, but the stay was very nice convenient and welcoming had a terrific soaking tub was very warm and cozy overall
- Sofia (8/5): Very good -
- Jack (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kris (7/5): Male staff He is too serious and unfriendly. - good location
- Micáela (10/5): Perfect cosy stay in heart of Echoland ! - Perfect stay in the heart of Echoland. All the facilities were as described with also an extra dry room which was brilliant at end of the day of skiing to store your gear. Right beside various equipment rental spots, all the bars and restaurants and multiple bus stops along the street to the various resorts. The owner was so welcoming, took his time to show us around the accommodation and how to use all the facilities. During our stay he answered any questions we had and was always responsive on messages. 100% want to return and stay again!
- Arbnor (10/5): Amazing host Santo with his wife - Breakfast was amazing, if you book make sure you add the breakfast Not having an on suit
- Schump (10/5): Exceptional -
- Morgan (9/5): Superb -
- Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dagmara (5/5): felt like staying with distant uncle who doesn’t like you - Location - super close to ski bus and restaurants. The building was warm and cosy The owner made us feel uncomfortable; we felt under constant supervision, ready to be told off. The rooms were dirty, with rubbish under the bed. We paid for breakfast - it was really not nice, it looked nothing like on the photos on booking.com, when I raised this politely with the owner, he ignored me and offered no solution, simply responding ‘so you won’t be eating breakfast?’
- Andrea (7/5): served its purpose for ski - The location is great to get to the ski fields by bus and close to restaurants and a convenience store, the breakfast is really good, the room is spacious, the breakfast ladies were very nice. the heating should have instructions, the dryer does not work well and we had the feeling the owner was constantly watching us to control us and tell us off. Also note that there are nearly never taxis available, so if you need to go somewhere like the bus or train station and you have a big luggage, it becomes a very miserable task.
- Louise (7/5): Don’t expect Japanese hospitality here, this place is run by the Chinese. The owner is pretty rude. -
- Luke (10/5): Exceptional - Great host, very friendly and accommodating. Picked up our luggage and snowboard bag from our accomodation in Happo One while we we're out on the slopes and let us keep our luggage there after checkout time so we could get out snowboarding before we left. Breakfasts were great too.
- Szymon (8/5): Very good -
- Blackie (10/5): Hai - Staff and facilities. Shares his house with you. Always accommodates to your needs. Friendly and helpful. Some group members uncomfortable with shared shower room but this isn't bad just cultural differences.
- Rachel (10/5): Lovely homestay at Hakuba - 1) Convenient location - Opposite Central Snowsports for equipment rental - Short walk from the bus stop to the ski resorts and the convenience store 2) Food - Big portion of breakfast to fuel us before skiing - Delicious yakitori restaurant nestled just below 3) Cleanliness - Very well-kept and clean Nothing, we enjoyed our stay so much! Thank you for opening your home to us!
- Naomi (10/5): Exceptional - The Host is very friendly and super helpful Good location near to bus stop and restaurants
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jimmy (6/5): Pleasant -
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Botts (9/5): Great value, safe hostel, great breakfast, good location for Echoland - Great hosts, very clean, wonderful breakfast, helpful for arranging transportation, close to shuttles
- Martha (9/5): Superb - Great location in Echoland, clean & spacious, really filling and tasty breakfast before skiing, friendly and helpful host, thank you!! Would stay again :) Only thing is the communal showers lacked privacy (but they were empty every time we wanted to use them so not really a problem!)
- Megan (10/5): Loved it thanks - Beautiful villa amazing views super clean Little hike to the shuttle bus
- Ayer (10/5): Great stay and value, host was very nice and accommodating - Great place to stay less than 10 min walk to bus to ski slopes!
- Chewings (9/5): Overall it was really good, the owners were wonderful and really welcoming. i was a bit hesitant about the shared bathro - How clean and unkept everything was no fridges in the rooms
- Lynch (7/5): Good -
- Joshua (10/5): Was looked after very well by our hosts, many thanks - Owner was very accommodating and made our stay a pleasure
- Aleksandar (10/5): - Great location and hosts.
- Xavier (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samuel (10/5): Very attentive and thoughtful staff. Made my trip a very pleasant one! -
- Dilini (10/5): Exceptional -
- M (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cheyanne (9/5): Nice home style feel to this lodge. - The breakfast was great and we always felt full. Mostly western style breakfast with a Japanese twist. The rooms were very basic and maybe a little old, but otherwise were perfectly fine. The hosts were friendly and were happy to answer any questions. There is a fridge in the common area you can put some drinks/food in, but in the busy period I imagine it gets quite full. The communal showers are Japanese style. The shuttle system takes a bit to get used to, but there is a stop right out the front of this lodge to get to Happo One, the Bus Terminal or Hakuba 47. Make sure you eat downstairs at the Yakitori restaurant. I would definitely stay here again. Our room smelt a bit like gas from a heater or something, it took a bit to get used to. There should be instructions on how to use the heater, but otherwise the owner came and showed us. There was not really a social culture in the afternoon/evenings in the common areas.
- Jack (9/5): Superb -
- Tsz (10/5): Exceptional - Very good Nothing
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michlfoo (9/5): Superb - Great location. The bus stop for Hakuba 47, Goryu and Iimori is right in front, Central Sports is across the road, lion rental next door and you are right on the echoland strip making it very easy to walk to many restaurants, convenience store and shops. Owners (staff) were amazing. They were very helpful and it truly felt like you were staying at a family friend's place. Shared bathrooms are always scary, it's very open, there is no divider between the showers so if you are showering at the same time as someone else of your gender then there is no privacy.
- Lexie (10/5): Exceptional - Incredibly friendly owners who helped us organise taxis etc every day, clean spacious rooms, amazing location right in the heart of Echoland and very close to bus stops etc.
- Natalie (8/5): Home sweet home - Amazing, caring, polite and lovely hosts. Delicious breakfasts every morning. Great spa & big ski boot room. We really had to get used to the pillows :)
- Tómas (8/5): Very good -
- Alice (3/5): Poor - The shower was nice The man owner was very unfriendly and I felt like I was being watched waiting to be told off for doing something wrong. The owner followed me upstairs to tell me off for not shutting the door completely to the toilet. I think that is ridiculous when we are paying $1,000 for a tiny room for three nights in hard beds.
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dalton (10/5): Exceptional -
- Avi (7/5): Good -
- Nareekan (7/5): Property and location was good. Not a lot of buses that gets there from the bus stop so will need to utilize taxi. Owner - Close to shuttle buses and slopes. A few restaurants around as well Property itself was good
- Roxana (8/5): Our hold Makato was a highlight of our stay. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. He even drove us to our - The location was excellent, with a warm/cosy atmosphere and everything you need at the end of the day. The kitchen was well appointed for the needs of our family. The Japanese style bedroom took a bit of getting used to.
- Nicole (9/5): Great location -
- Ley (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Glenn (10/5): Amazing hosts and great location. - Great location, breakfast was amazing and changed daily (best breaky we had in Japan) hosts are so lovely and take pride in everything they do. Happy to pick up and drop off from bus terminal very reasonable cost. Close to buses to the various resorts and one house off echoland. Everything worked well, would love to return again. Shared bathrooms were very clean and had them to ourselves most of the time. Thank you!
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dave (9/5): Superb -
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional - Place was right in echoland close to many stores and restaurants. ja ja connivence store was a few steps away and bus stops for the hills super close Bed were separate but can easily move them together
- Emily (10/5): Wonderful echoland location - Wonderful location in the main street of echoland. Spacious room with ensuite and delicious breakfast. Owners were lovely and very accommodating. Comfy beds. Check in is strictly at 3pm but you can leave your bags in the lobby area.
- Peter (8/5): Very good - Good facilities and close to free bus services etc. Unfortunately, our room overlooked the main street and there was some noise from late night revellers. This is no fault of the Pension.
