Guest Reviews

• Martyna (7/5): Lovely stay for a family, but a bit pricey. - Close to the slopes and they have family rooms. Bit dated - we feel like we overpaid a bit for the standard.
• Chih-Yu (9/5): - 是個溫馨家庭經營的旅館，年輕人英文可溝通，要去其他地方爸爸如果有空會開車載你去（比計程車便宜），到車站有接送不過要先預約。不能用市區旅館的角度評判，但絕對是過夜的好選擇。
• peng (7/5): -
• YUKA (8/5): - 部屋が隅々までしっかり清掃されてて、キレイでした！ 寝間着がなかった💦
• Adam (10/5): Super właściciele hotelu, świetne śniadania, miła atmosfera. -
• Fu Yi (10/5): - 老闆人很好，離雪場也近，買雪票還有優惠
• Bryan (8/5): -
• IHUI (9/5): 離雪場東面走路5分鐘，下樓就是主要道路餐廳跟商店街，提供妙高高原車站接駁，2樓有溫泉澡堂，老闆和藹可親，整體住宿經驗很好，下次會再考慮入住。 -
• Michelle (7/5): - Great location. Small family run hotel. A bit run down. Quite basic.
• Stuart (10/5): -
• YULIN (9/5): -
• Kaine (8/5): Perfect location, beautiful view, great staff. - Perfect location, beautiful view, great staff. Interior could use an update. Accommodation was expensive, but the location is sought after during a high demand period.
• Kai Chun (7/5): - 住宿就在溫泉街，背後就是赤倉溫泉滑雪場，租借雪具、食店就在附近，非常方便 酒店有天然溫泉，雖然小但人不多 配有電梯，不用搬樓梯 房間有電熱爐，可以煮點東西，走廊也有微波爐，很方便 早餐是預約及即做的，美味貼心 是家庭式酒店，他們一家人很幫手 床舖不太舒服，睡得不太好 接待處不在地面在4/F，所以任何人也可以自由進出，感覺不夠安全
• Victoria (6/5): - Serviceable room. Decently comfortable futons on tatami mat. Good size room. Great location. Onsen is like a prison cell. Heater in room cutoff at 3am and we were freezing. Parking is tight and we were lucky to get a spot.
• Angelica (8/5): Great location, dated building, great view. - Great location, cozy room, great view of the Main Street. Friendly staff gave us a complimentary ride to the train station! The building is a little funky. The reception area smelled of cigarettes.

• Burak Cem (10/5): -
• ihara (7/5): -
• Kevin (10/5): - Amazing hospitality and attentive service by the owners. Facilities are dated, but well maintained. Natural hot spring bath was exceptional.
• IAN (9/5): - Good location Helpful staff Good value Missed the full Japanese toilet boasting my butt clean.
• Lionel (10/5): Excellent hôtel traditionnel - Hôtel plein de charme désuet. Vieux bâtiment typique du Japon des montagnes. Nous avions une chambre immense selon les standards du Japon. Tatamis et futons très confortables, bon chauffage. Onsen au rez-de-chaussée, tellement bon après une journée de ski ! L'hôtel a une situation exceptionnelle : au milieu de la rue commerçante où sont concentrés tous les restaurants, bars, magasins, et à 5 min à pied des télésièges, Kumado ou Yodel. C'est un hôtel tenu par une famille locale. Le fils qui tient la réception est toujours disponible et se met en quatre pour s'occuper de ses hôtes. Toujours disponible pour répondre aux questions ou rendre service. Il vend des forfaits de ski moins chers qu'à la station (5800 au lieu de 7000, et gratuit pour les enfants de moins de 12 ans !) Il nous a même proposé de nous amener gracieusement à la gare le jour de notre départ. C'est son père qui s'en est chargé au volant de son van Toyota. Excellent séjour! Merci! Comme souvent au Japon, pas de toilettes ni douche dans les chambres. La douche c'est à l'onsen, et les toilettes sont sur le même palier. Pas un problème !
• Matthew (10/5): Excellent service from the staff who really go above and beyond to help you. Excellent location. - Excellent service from the staff who really go above and beyond to help you with whatever your request is. Excellent location. Onsen didn’t meet expectations, but overall the hotel was still good value for money.
• NAKAGAWA (8/5): - 掛け流しの温泉。 ドア周りやトイレ内の窮屈さ。
• Paul (7/5): Good - Great location. Nice staff. Breakfast each morning was not bad. Shower etc was downstairs with the onsen which was annoying but not the end of the world. Hallways and games room etc very old and beaten up.
• Yujie (10/5): Exceptional - Great location. Friendly staffs. Great value!
• Tom (7/5): Good -
• Jack (8/5): Very good - Staff was fantastic & went above & beyond! The place was a little outdated
• Ernest (10/5): Comfortable stay - Friendly staff - English speaking. Breakfast was great, self-serve cereal and muesli was included on top of hot breakfast. Onsen available for guest was huge and great. They were also kind enough to give us a lift to Myoko Kogen Station on the day of departure. Only 100m walk to the chairlift.
• Ferri (7/5): Good -
• Mark (8/5): Very good -
• Jordan (6/5): Location, location, location - Location is prime, top of the main street with a glass elevator view of everything. Couldn’t leave our bags securely there whilst we waited for check in.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (9/5): Great location in Akakura Onsen. Small family run hotel. - Lovely staff Nothing to dislike
• Eva (7/5): Easy walk to lift and shops. Helpfu - This is a family business and the staff were always helpful and attentive despite being busy. The onsen was lovely to be in after a day of skiing. The location was excellent- Close to all restaurants and the ski lifts. Unfortunately the rooms they had left when o booked were without a toilet/ bathroom. Hence it was extremely cold to go to the toilet in the night. This will not be a problem if you are able to get a room with a toilet.
• Pei (7/5): Could be better and need an upgrade - Very well located in middle of town. Services was good and parking was convenient and there were some board games to play. Whole hotel very aged and run down and the bath is at ground floor which is next to door. So imagine u have to come out from room, suffer in the cold air to run to onsen to bathe. After bath u will suffer through the cold again to go back room. No breakfast and sleep on floor which was hard. Only one tiny pillow. Expensive considering what I get vs what I paid
• Lachlan (7/5): Good -
• Matthew (8/5): Great location..easy walk to ski lifts and restaurants - Location Nothing
• Chang (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (8/5): Very good - The owner was very helpful and spoke good enough English so we were able to ask him to make phone calls for us to book reservations etc. We had dinner at the hotel one night which was a great Japanese home cooked meal which we really enjoyed. Staff very friendly. Onsen downstairs was hot and relaxing. Nothing
• Ben (8/5): Very good - Location was amazing
• Knox (8/5): Very good - Comfortable rooms, good breakfast, good onsen Cold corridors, no communal area
• Knox (8/5): Very good - Excellent breakfast and they accommodated my children's tastes. Onsen was enjoyable Corridors were cold
• kensuke (4/5): - ｵﾌｼｰｽﾞﾝの夏なのかもしれないが、ｽﾀｯﾌの対応も、施設もやる気が感じられない、その割には値段が高い。
• Samuel (8/5): Very good - Very close to Akakura Onsen ski field (5mins walk) and close to restaurants Hotel is a little dated but had a pleasant stay
• Phoenix (10/5): - Only the couple managing the property, doing all rooms and check in and dining. So be patient. Even they might not know much English they still provide great service and try to accommodate your needs. Nice restaurants and convenient store around though most close early. Walking distance to the Akakura Obsen Ski area.
• Jacob (10/5): Excellent stay room was perfect and staff very helpful. - Location, service, size of room
• Jacquelyn (7/5): Good -
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Scott (8/5): Recommend - Close to town and ski entry Cold in hallways, cleaning of rooms only early and we got sick and hard to clean room
• Jamie (10/5): Friendly, central, family accommodation. Hot onsen. Nice food - Located right in the middle of Akakura Onsen the Star hotel is easy to access and then close to a number of restaurants, shops and bars. The free shuttle bus cruises past so it’s easy to jump in and get to Kanko. Onsen ski field is a 5 min walk along the street. Bar across the road and ski rental. Convenience store next door - in evenings. The family that runs Star Hotel is super kind and friendly. They’ll go out of their way to help. Breakfast was great, enough food. The Hotel is a bit tired but I think that’s par for the course around the area. Yes it’s a bit pricy but it’s the middle of peak winter season and you’re in snow paradise so …! The bathroom communal onsen is small - but easy to get to yourself. The water is soooo hot - but great for a soak. Smells great - authentic onsen water. The big family room is basic, but a traditional Japanese type stay - sleeping on futons on tatami. Plenty of extra blankets provided. Gas heaters in room are effective but you wouldn’t leave them on at night so it does cool down. Kotatsu is amazing to slip under, keep warm and rehydrate !! Discount lift tickets from reception are good but cash only. You can pay by credit card at the ski field ticket offices.
• Katrina (1/5): Onsen was very gross - Located next to ski lift was good The onsen smelled very bad like rotten egg and black mould everywhere. Onsen water had a lot of thick sediment. It was very unpleasant to bathe, I had to shower after to feel clean. The room was very old and run down. We only booked for onsen and since it was unusable, I am giving a bad review. For $420 AUD a night, I expected better.
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Artur (8/5): The owners are lovely people who are willing to help at any stage, the location is also fantastic right in walking dista - Fantastic location, excellent customer service
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (7/5): Great location, comfortable, everyhti that we needed. - Onsen,. Location A little old, communal facilities
• Natalie (7/5): Myoko - Breakfast, staff were great. Elevator was great, lovely views straight down the main street. Onsen Could be a little cleaner. However is was hot and still amazing. No drying room. Made it a little difficult to dry wet snow gear.
• Bin (8/5): Pleasant stay within expectations - Pleasant stay within expectations. Very helpful and polite staff. Please note there’s an elevator from the car park. Convenient. There’s a restaurant opposite the hotel in case you are having late dinner before 9pm. Cannot expect too much. Overall satisfactory stay
• Adam (4/5): Disappointing - location Extremely cold hotel, heaters emitted gas smell, not healthy, ventilation at hotel is poor, gas smell through out.
• Jack (8/5): Awesome place to stay. Friendly/helpful staff. Perfectly positioned at the head of the main street. - Awesome location, close to the ski field and restaurants. Incredibly nice and accomodating staff. They went out of their way to make breakfast for us early, when we had to leave before the normal breakfast time. Onsen was very nice. Good ski storage options. Seemed like it was mostly Japanese people staying here, so was awesome to have a slightly more cultural experience with the room style and breakfast. Highly recommend this place. -
• Frances (8/5): Very good - The food was exceptional - made and served with love. A true family business. We were made to feel like family.
• Tracy (6/5): Pleasant -
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was great value and very tasty. Room was very traditional and I enjoyed staying 2 nights. Air conditioner helped room stay warm. I got lost trying to find where to check in as it was not on the floor you enter the building in. Some signage at the entrance would be good.
• Joyce (7/5): Good -
• Curran (8/5): great trip would be back - the breakfasts not much
• Barry (8/5): Very good -
• Curran (8/5): I would stay again - nice onsen not much. was all ok
• Florence (7/5): Good -
• Robyn (10/5): Akakura Star hotel - Great location and only a short walk to the ski area , bus station and local restaurants. Very basic but lovely staff and breakfast is a treat every morning
• Yasuhiro (8/5): - 入った階にフロントがなかったので、戸惑ったが3階だった。自分には熱かったが、源泉かけ流しの温泉だった。置いてたあった赤倉温泉の本によると開湯当初から同じ場所にある宿だった。大通りの突き当りにある。家庭的な料理でおいしかった。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 温泉が源泉掛け流しでとてもよかったです。お部屋も年季はありましたが、広くて快適に過ごせました。朝食もしっかりでてきて美味しかったです。また泊まりたいと思いました。
• KUNIHIKO (8/5): - 飲食店やスキー場へのアクセスが最高！！
• 会社員40代男性 (10/5): - 建物は古いが、人的サービスはとても良い。皆笑顔で大変心地よく過ごせる。宿泊した部屋には、お茶、急須、湯呑み、ポット、歯ブラシ、タオルなど充実していた。朝食も手作り感があり、コーヒーも飲み放題。朝食のレストラン、客室ともに清潔でゴミが落ちているなんてこともない。すごく頑張っていらっしゃると思います。温泉もいいお湯です。湯の花がたっぷり。掃除が行き届いています。スキーやブーツの乾燥室が改善されたらより良いかと思います。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location in the heart of Akakura village with rooms setup well.
• Verified traveler (8/5): A nice family run hotel - Basic, very good value family run hotel.
• TAK LAM (10/5): Comfort, Cozy Japanese living space - Traditional Japanese style living Only there are stairs at enterance Right next to bus stops and have foodies nearby
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 各方面都不錯，離吃的及巴士站不遠 房價ok
• Verified traveler (10/5): 下次去妙高還要再光臨 - 很親切讓人安心的地方，年輕老闆英文不錯，溝通沒問題。飯店位置在溫泉街的盡頭，十分方便。我訂的是有私人衛浴的，還有一個小流理台，電爐可以燒水，應該還是比較好的選擇，畢竟要走到另一層樓才能盥洗有點麻煩~~溫泉對我來說超級燙!!!哈哈不過效能不錯，泡完皮膚感覺有變好~無線網路訊號不強
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 赤倉温泉全般ですが建物は古いです。風呂トイレは昔のビジネスホテルをイメージすると分かり易いかと思います。ウォシュレットもありませんし廊下も寒いので今どきのホテルしか知らない人だと、んっ？ と感じるかも知れません。 ペット可のホテルの割には毛が少しありましたが匂いはしません。 ただ、申し込み時期によってはゲストハウス、お安いビジネスホテル同様の金額で部屋のタイプにもよると思いますが小さいながらもキッチン付きの2ベットルームと8〜10畳？の居間にコタツ、ユニットバス付きの空間を使えおまけに掃除の時間以外は天然温泉入り放題で門限も無く赤倉温泉中心部にあり買い物や飲みに行くにも困らず狭いながらも屋内駐車場もありゲレンデやシャトルバス乗り場にも5分くらいです。 除雪もその都度やってくれますし車があって観光側に滑りに行くならシャトルバスは待つし混むので車で移動がオススメです。 飲みや食事に行く場所で困ってもフロントで相談に乗って貰え予約もして頂けるので助かります。細かい事を気にしなければ3日位連泊をすると良さがジワジワと感じられる不思議なお宿です。 どこに価値観を置くかはそれぞれですが色々とお世話になりました、ありがとうございました。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Breakfast is beautiful. The rooms are large. The ski and tech room is fantastic. The staff are very helpful. Please respect the hôtel as a Japanese hôtel.
• shu fang (10/5): 非常好 - 房間空間應該是個人日本旅遊經驗最大的，也比附近的太閣飯店大許多，位置無論是去雪場或用餐都很方便.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 客室が5階なので、見張らしもよく快適です。周辺も飲食店も多くいろいろ食べられ大満足でした。 マイナス点は、アメニティの交換は、毎日してくれてもと思いました。
