At checkin, I was offered access to the various services and facilities Prince Hotels provides to its guests. Upon learning I had a tattoo, that offer was rescinded, and I was denied access to areas that other patrons were not. This tattoo is of significant cultural and religious importance, yet in the year 2024, Prince Hotels clearly demonstrated they do not respect the cultural diversity of their guests, only the money they bring in. I urge all people who value freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and protection from censorship to choose alternative lodgings, rather than a Prince facility that does not share your values.

Very clean hotel, excellent location just next to shopping outlet mall, you can walk to onzen in covered paths in the hotel building which is very clean and well maintained, also very convenient to go skiing with rental shop just at the hotel area. West Wing premier wing is newly renovated, very nice decor and new, highly recommended

Our family loves the cottage. It was walking distance to the shopping area from the main reception. Depending on timing, it may take awhile for the buggy to take you to the main reception. We will definitely come back again.

No laundry & kitchen in the cottage, Car parking need extra time waiting for the shuttle bus to pick up It’s better & convenient if we can have the car parking near to cottage It was so dark at night, when we got off the bus walking to the cottage, I got fell on the ground because of couldn’t see it clearly there is a rocky curb side. Besides, the weather control in the cottage is so hard to adjust, sometime too hot, sometimes too cold. Limited utensil in the cottage: no knife, no microwave (should be the necessity kitchen ware or appliances in the cottage. No dish wash soap in the cottage for general cleansing.

the hotel and place is big. not quite friendly for elderly travelers. they have beautiful log cabins with good views but not accessible to elderly people as a lot of stairs without a handrail are needed to get in and out of the cabin.

The room was too warm without cold aircon!
We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights and arrived from Tokyo before 1 p.m.. The receptionist was kind enough to check us in at 1 p.m. though the check in time was 3 p.m.. The room was too warm however. We were told that the hotel aircon was still in the heating mode. So we turned the aircon off with the top windows opened. But it’s still too warm. We tolerated the warmth for the first night. It was warmer the next day at 22C throughout and just a bit cooler in the evening. The room was still stuffy with the top windows opened. We had to borrow a fan to circulate the still air in the room but it’s just too warm to sleep comfortably. I feel that the hotel should be more flexible to allow guests to switch the aircon to cold air according to their needs. After all, it’s important for hotel guests to have a good night’s sleep.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stayed for 3 nights. The hotel room is clean and comfortable with good view of the garden area where we managed to watch some snow falling. The hotel staff is helpful and attentive. We would like to thank front desk staff Ms Kamata for her patience and thoughtfulness in helping us with our travel plan. The hotel onsen is lovely to soak in especially after a long day shopping in the outlet mall that is just a 3-4 mins walking distance from the hotel. But the onsen can be quite crowded with children running around. Overall, it has been a wonderful stay and we will definitely come back to this hotel again.

Good hotel for shopping in Karuizawa
Hotel clerks were all polite and attentive. The hotel was very quiet with few guests because of the Covid-19 Crisis but we enjoyed the quietness. Bus service to the shopping malls was very helpful.
