Amazing boutique hotel in a great location near skiing and restaurants. The bed was very comfy, the room was perfect for our family of 4, and the breakfast was delicious - you just pick whatever you want off the cafe menu.
what an incredible stay! The staff was super helpful, friendly, professional, respectful, and kind!
The room was great and exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything was clean and well-maintained.
We will definitely be staying here when we come back!
Excellent & simple facilities with everything you need. Lots of stairs, but if you are going skiing you kind of need to be good with that. Staff are extremely accommodating and help you with your luggage. Tengu Sushi & Teppanyaki restaurants were delicious.
Stayed in mid August. Great place and location… only hicups were parking and the uphill distance to the lift. Having to ride bikes up the hill was not great start mid August but the had buke storagd and I would not mind the walk in Winter. Parking was a bit complicated and a bit of a pain to grab things and pack up but location trumped that inconvenience. I just tried to find time in winter but it appears booked out. Location was as a good as I have had in Nozowa - right in the heart of the village overlooking prime Noz attractions.
The accommodation was truly outstanding. The attention to detail in the design of the apartments and in house facilities were exceptional however the reception staff lacked basic training and knowledge which was disappointing.
Great place in the Centre of town with the onsen nearby
Nice service with nicely decorated suites .
Will definitely come back again .

The location was excellent and the main reason I chose this property. The room met expectations, though I could still hear television noise from another room even in the low season. The building’s layout was unusual but not problematic, though luggage must be carried up a steep staircase.
The front desk requires serious improvement. At check-in, staff only confirmed my booking, gave minimal instructions, and provided my room number and password. There were no words of welcome, no explanation of facilities or the area, and no offer of assistance. The process felt purely procedural, with no sense of hospitality.
Parking guidance created further issues. I was told unloading from the rear lot was convenient and confirmed I could enter from there, but it was not possible. After repeated calls, staff finally said I had to return to the front to finish check-in. This wasted time and could have been resolved in minutes. Even when I voiced frustration, staff insisted their explanation was correct, without acknowledgment.
When I asked for a manager, the staff disappeared without explanation and later assisted another guest. Eventually, I spoke to a representative by phone and completed check-in about 45 minutes after first arriving. At no point was there an apology or gratitude. If the front desk only processes paperwork without warmth, a machine could do so more efficiently while still offering courtesy.
We had a comfortable spacious room with a view of buildings in the foreground and the mountains with trees changing to autumn colours. It was great having a sitting area with a small table. There are quite a few stairs and no elevator. Everything is impeccably clean. There are free laundry machines to use.
