Guest Reviews
- Gabriel (10/5): - Wonderful stay in a historic lodge in the middle of the national park. Highly recommended!
- ミチヨ (10/5): - とても良い滞在になりました。
- MASAHIRO (10/5): 飾らないおもてなしに感謝 - 日本でしか味わうことができない、おもてなしがあふれるサービスに感動しました。決して安くはないですが、それ以上のサービスに決して後悔はしません。宿泊して良かったといつまでも思えるホテルです。
- Christopher (8/5): - Beautiful property right along the river with incredible service. The staff are very attentive and spoke fantastic english. Very nice, spacious rooms. We got to see the fire lighting ritual and had an amazing dinner. The only downside was the price of the dinner, it is not a cheap meal so make sure to check that it fits within your budget before ordering.
- ゆうこ (8/5): - 大変穏やかに過ごすことができました。
- あきら (8/5): - スタッフの方々が、常に宿泊客に対して目配りされて、笑顔で接しておられ、心地良かったです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 很有氣勢也很有溫度的飯店，加上上高地的美景，是很舒服的住宿經驗
- YU (6/5): - 部屋までの案内をしてくださったスタッフの方が少々フランク？で、帝国ホテルといえばレベルの高いサービスを期待していただけあって、こちらの年齢が若いからなのか…他のご年配のお客様にも同じようなサービスをなさるのかなあ、と少し違和感を覚えつつ、それでもレストランでは夕食、朝食共に、快いサービスで満足させていただきました。
- Amanda (8/5): - Kamikochi Imperial Hotel is a wonderful place to visit. The area is absolutely beautiful, and the hotel itself has tons of old world charm and has been very well maintained in its 91 years. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is because the dining options are so very overpriced, and the quality was just okay. We made the mistake of not bringing enough cash with us to dine elsewhere, since most places in the area are cash only. There are no ATMs in Kamikochi, so next time we will be more prepared. We will visit again!
- So Chung (10/5): Say Great Thank for the Hotel Staff's Help - I am writing to express my thankfulness for the hotel staff. I accidently left my passport behind. They delivered my passport to my hotel in Matsumoto after my checkout. I got my passport back and I could continue my trip well. I must writing to thank them again and again. Also the hotel is nostalgic, caring staff, delicious food, good location close to Taisho lake and beautiful scenery. Kamikochi bus stops are right in front of the hotel. Amazing indeed.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fantastic stay with impeccable service. Prices of food in restaurants is much more expensive but expected of hotel of this category. The clientele generally older Japanese but nonetheless we enjoyed our stay one night stay, which allowed us to enjoy Kamikochi at a more leisurely pace.
- Masaru (6/5): - 不満な点はただ一つです。 浴室のシャワーの水勢が非常に弱くて全く役に立ちませんでした。それゆえ、浴槽にお湯を張って、それで身体を洗うしかありませんでした。 それ以外は、ほぼ満点でした。
- Chuen Sum (10/5): - Excellent service
- Ryo (10/5): - 全てにおいて高水準
- HIDEMI (10/5): - 最高のホテルと食事、サービスも大変良かったです。
- Tadashi (10/5): 客室内ミニバー - 備え付けの冷蔵庫にコロナの影響で飲み物などが常備されておらず、ルームサービスでの提供だった。コロナも明けたので、飲み物だけでも常備していただきたい
- TAEUNG (10/5): - 오래된 호텔이라고 들어서 걱정했는데 모든게 잘 관리되어있어 더 멋지게 느껴졌습니다. 무엇보다 로비에 있는 큰 화목난로가 있는 공간이 좋았습니다.
- Sen tung (6/5): - 設備需要更新
- kyoko (8/5): - 良かった
- yoshiharu (10/5): - とても素敵でした。
- シゲコ (10/5): - スタッフが良かった
- Kazuyo (8/5): - 雰囲気が非常に良く、人気ホテルの意味がわかりました。歴史を感じるホテルです。スタッフの方の人数が多くて、他の日本のホテルでよく感じる、何か頼みたくても、スタッフがいないということはなかったように思います。
- Yurika (10/5): - とても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。ホスピタリティ溢れるサービスに感謝しています。 建物も趣があり、こだわりを感じる内装は素晴らしいです。 ありがとうございました。
- kimiko (10/5): - とても快適でした。素晴らしかった
- harumi (10/5): - 到着時間が遅れてしまいご迷惑をかけてしまったにもかかわらず、スタッフの皆様から大変優しく接していただきましまた。 どのスタッフの方も必ず挨拶以外の言葉をかけてくださいました。丁寧で格式高い接客と親しみやす気遣いもいただき、とてもリラックスして過ごす事が出来ました。 85歳の母の誕生日旅行と二人旅でしたが、最高の旅だと母も喜んでくれました。 スタッフの皆様有難うございました。
- Koji (10/5): - スタッフのサービスと接客の対応は素晴らしく、誇りを持って仕事をされていらっしゃると感じました。メインダイニングレストランのお料理は伝統を大切にされている正統派フレンチで、帝国ホテルのクオリティの高いお料理が味わえます。朝ごはんでいただいた和朝食もお漬物や焼き魚に添えられたはじかみですら、とても美味しくいただけました。お部屋もアメニティは全て揃っていて、バス、トイレも清掃が行き届いています。もちろんお湯の温度やシャワーの水圧も問題ありません。。部屋からの眺めも最高でした。 銀婚式の記念旅行をこちらで過ごせて本当に良かったと思っております。
- Ken (10/5): - とても丁寧な素早い対応で良い。
- ユウコ (10/5): - スタッフの方々の対応が 素晴らしく、 安心して過ごせました。 帝国ホテルについての展示もあって 創設者の想いなどもよくわかり 温かい時間を過ごすことができました。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 最高なサービスと最高なロケーションで非日常を味わえました！
- YOICHI (10/5): - 夕飯はフレンチでのレストラン利用でした スタッフの人数が多すぎです 常にウロウロされて、ホコリが気になりました ホテルスタッフの感じは悪くはございまさせんが。。。 とにかく、人数が多すぎて！
- Ryuzo (8/5): - 流石に最高のサービスと食事のレベルの高さ。到着時バス停に迎えに来てくれていた。 唯一残念なのは上の部屋で宴会の騒ぎ。古い建物のためか大声はよく聞こえる。ホテルはすぐ対応してくれました。
- Youngjoon (10/5): すべて良かった。 - 上高地へ行くなら帝国ホテルに泊まるべき❗食事もホテル内のレストランを利用してね。完璧です。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Incredible hotel and staff. Very well managed and super friendly and helpful. The room was very nice, restaurant was excellent
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方々がとても親切でした。朝食時間終了間際に伺ってしまいましたが、嫌な顔一つせず対応してくださり、安心しました。
- TOMOKO (10/5): - ベランダからの眺めは上の階のバルコニーがあるため、一番綺麗な尾根が見えにくかったのが残念でしたが、ホテルはサービスも接客もとても良かったです。気持ちよく過ごせました。洋食の朝食がもうひと工夫欲しかった気がします。和食の朝はとても良かったです。帰る日に買おうと思っていたお土産が、団体さんが買い占めてしまい買えなかった事は残念でした。それを踏まえて入荷して頂きたかったです。
- まーくん (10/5): - 流石の帝国ホテルでした🏨！スタッフのみなさん、一人一人のホスピタリティが素晴らしかった。
- TAKAYAMA (10/5): 最高です。 - 客室はもちろん、スタッフのサービスも最高でした。一階のカフェでは、外の席でコーヒーをいただきましたが、北アルプスを独り占め状態でした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 晩秋の上高地をたっぷり味わいました。 夕食時に記念にと写真をとって下さ、いい記念になりました。
- M.I (10/5): - バスルームのシャワーカーテンが、少し匂いました。 それ以外は、大変、満足です。 食事中、体調が悪くなったのですが、とても、親切に対応していただきました。残りの料理をお部屋まで運んでいただきまして、とても、観劇しております。ありがとうございました。 また、是非とも、宿泊させていただきます。 よろしくお願いいたします。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 料理以外は最高でした。
- Verified traveler (8/5): Do it! - Top staff, building with history.. food way too expensive though!
- SIEWKEE (10/5): - First of all, I am amazed with the service, people from the hotels are really friendly and helpful. Really a nice place to stay and overseeing the stunning view of mountain. It was my sister's birthday when we arrive on that day. We have spent a very nice time in this hotel. highly recommended.
- Pokin (10/5): - Excellent Room and Services. It is 8 minute walk form Bus Terminal though. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, however, during peak period, the bus is normally full and you either have to wait for next bus or walk to bus terminal.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 静かで落ち着きのある環境 最高のコンシェルジュで歓迎いただく。結婚30周年で初めての利用 他の宿泊の方 やスタッフのご対応も不安など感じさせない ホテル利用中の時間を有意義に過ごせた。
- Nikki (4/5): - It’s so known, and yet the design of the hotel, no pretty garden, was a big disappointment.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 大変ゆっくりできました。
- Yuling (10/5): 專業 - 遇到10/11台風No.19 哈吉貝，多虧旅館有專業人員提供協助查詢確認，提供我們建議，才能順利完成旅程
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 大変すばらしい 前回の滞在の事をよく覚えていて対応してくださいます。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This hotel is in a beautiful unique setting! The hiking there is spectacular. However, there is one major issue - outside of the hotel, there are very few options for eating and the restaurants at the hotel will break the bank! There are three restaurant options and even the "casual" one charges $30 for spaghetti. $8 for a cup of coffee! The more expensive restaurants will cost about $200 per person for dinner. There are a few small restaurants around the bus station but they do not serve dinner and options for other meals are very limited. Guests should be warned that this is the case and bring along food!
- Valerie (8/5): - Expensive, but comfortable in beautiful surroundings.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Expensive but first rate. The dinner was not good value.
- Ben (8/5): - Historical property, dating back to 1933. Amenities were excellent - dinner (not included) can be a tad pricey, but overall a great experience.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommended - Wonderful hotel in the midst of beautiful nature, very friendly and attentive staff. Especially thankful to the manager who helped us when my husband needed medical attention.
