We are riding a tandem bicycle. They told us to park in the unsupervised public train bicycle parking. We found a manager that allowed us to leave bike in entrance.

Right next to the train station. Plenty of breakfast options. Room was very comfortable.

N/A

Located near Shinkansen station and food options were located close by.

Peatumiskuupäev: aprill 2025

A common smoking room will be preferred.

Peatumiskuupäev: aprill 2025

Personal preference - bed was very hard.

Right next to train station and great restaurant basically next door.

Peatumiskuupäev: märts 2025

I wasn`t lucky to get a room with a mountain view but I didn`t ask at the reception so maybe I could :)

Very conveninet for both train arrival and with a car, japanese style breakfast is healthy and hearthy, many options including fresh croissant.

Small but OK

The beds were very hard and not the most comfortable.

The location of the hotel can’t be beat! Great location next to the train station, easy shuttle to Arai to snowboard, and good restaurant options close by. The staff were very kind and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend!

Food around this area is limited Room small (but functional), hard bed and pillows Not great english from front desk staff

We stayed here to go to lotte arai to snowboard/ski. We appreciated the proximity to train station, its literally across the street. We were also happy that they accepted yamato delivery of our skis. Theres a few izakayas around but food is not nearly as abundant and good as tokyo. The front desk were friendly and willing to help, but not great english, they do use a hand held translator to help. They do breakfast in the morning (warning, its a japanese breakfast - seaweed, soups, salmon, savories) but they do have a coffee machine downstairs which we were thankful for. There is a free shuttle to lotte arai (that you need to book in advance ****). Overall great value for our stay, would stay here again if on budget.

Peatumiskuupäev: veebruar 2025

Only one good ski area close by, but they offered free shuttle to Lotte Arai. Nothing to do at night and no shopping nearby.

Breakfast ok, same stanky fish every day.No eggs or cereal.Did have chocolate eclairs one day out of ten, woohoo. Lol! Location was great, right next to trains.

Peatumiskuupäev: veebruar 2025

Bed was way too firm.

Location, next to the train station and the shuttle to Lotte Arai ski resort.

Pillows are great! So close to Joetsumyoko train station and lots of restaurants around. Excellent value. Rooms are the normal very small Japanese rooms, but are very comfy and have everything you need.

Peatumiskuupäev: jaanuar 2025

No issues in particular stood out.

Breakfast was not too diverse, simple, but sufficient and delicious. Definitely great consider it is free. Rooms are clean, comfy and fairly spacious (for Japan). Location itself is great - next to the train stations, has a few bars/restaurants and a convenience stores within just a couple of minutes walk distance. Parking lot right next to the hotel is very small, but there are additional options (a second Hotel owned parking lot which is ~150m further away) or the regular paid parking lots. Pleasant stay overall, and definitely worth the price.

parking is expensive

Location

Peatumiskuupäev: jaanuar 2025

Close to Shinkansen train station, restaurants nearby and coin laundry.

If you booked the room with an adult and child, towels are not provided for the child. You will need to pay for extra towels, but its not too much money, about 100yen, so it was ok for us

Breakfast was delicious even though there are not many choices, near the train station, which has convenient stores and shops selling souvenirs. There are little food halls and restaurants selling ramen, sushi and izakaya behind the hotel.

Peatumiskuupäev: detsember 2024

The hotel is close to railway station and is not in a built up area.

Peatumiskuupäev: oktoober 2024

more choice for western breakfast

limited for western travellers, but it was included so ok

Peatumiskuupäev: oktoober 2024

Breakfast is more for Japanese people. they should include some continental dishes.

Location, Service by staff.

Peatumiskuupäev: august 2024

The machines used to check in and out were impersonal, a bit of a pain to use, and they didn't quite work right. But overall, it was a good place!

The price was good for a nice hotel, and being next to the station and Otoya was perfect.

Peatumiskuupäev: august 2024

The location was not great but for a stopover it’s next to the Shinkansen station and comfortable.

The hotel was brand new and very clean. The staff were really pleasant and helpful.

Peatumiskuupäev: mai 2024

Was a little dated and slightly less room than expected.

Location was perfect and check-in process was very easy. Only a short stay with late night check-in and early morning check-out. Room was a good price for what it offered but was a little small. Very easy access to the train station and friendly staff. Still relatively comfortable overall.

Peatumiskuupäev: märts 2024

Room size on the small size but given the great value price, location and short stay, it was perfect.

Super location for activities in the area like transit to skiing, cycling and sightseeing. Right next door to the Shinkansen Joetsumyoko station made for easy access to Lotte Arai ski resort and Kubiki rail trail. The castle park in Joetsu is worth a visit with a large school of Koi in the moat following you hoping for a feed as you cross the bridge.

Peatumiskuupäev: aprill 2024

It's near Shinkansen Station, but around hotel have only a restaurant.

It very clean, checkin and checkout by machine very convenient.

So easy to get to and the rental car shops are just steps away as well. No-flare facility but clean and comfortable, it was just right. The breakfast was great, as well.
