Anise Garden — Hotel in Hakuba

For so small price value is good-everything looked very clean ,and outdoor little ofuro bath was unexpectedly lovely. But unfortunately I did not meet that kind owner and his cat which was described in some reviews. And only coffee offered was very cheep instant made powder. Even so I wanted to pay for proper coffee or breakfast , but was not allowed as did not do it in advance while booking.. Marriot ,Mominoki and some other hotels in area offer very generous breakfast buffet. So you can go there instead. But not being able to buy proper coffee in morning is not very good service for any pension,inn. Also I asked if I can pay extra and have later check out-for that also answer was bert short “No”-10 am and that’s it-without apologies. Even so they were not fully booked… very strange service for Japan. For the same price range“ Il Bosco” is most welcoming ,accommodating hotel I stayed . few times, and would definitely recommend. But it was fully booked ,so I wanted to try...

The host was very welcoming and friendly. We went there to ski and did not expect that he would take us to and drop us off at the ski lodges daily. Additionally, he went out of his way every morning to take all of our ski stuff and load the vehicle before we were even ready to go.||||The rooms were a good size considering all we were doing was sleeping in them. Don't expect to host a party in them. Bathrooms were small, but in my experience in Japan, pretty par for the course.||||The on site onsen was very nice. We we were there, there were no other guests, so we had the whole onsen to ourselves.||||The hotel was also a 10 min walk to the Echoland area which had a lot of izakayas and restaurants.||||Would definitely recommend this hotel to others...
