Hotel berhampiran Saint Laurent, Karuizawa

The front desk 竹村, on June 18th 10:50, she told us there’s no pick up service after check out (there is), without offering any assistance to deliver our bags to the station. We feel that the staffs are poorly trained when it comes to the hotel facility nor their communication skills. The hotel itself is highly enjoyable especially the hot spring! Everything is brand new and the surroundings are epic! I’m sorry to have to minus one star because of 竹村’s poor reaction to customers’ requests.

The town is known for being chic as it counts celebrities, artists, actors and musicians as its residents. The hotel is in that line. The entrance itself is somewhat muted in tone. But staff are warm and friendly. They helped carry our luggage to the second floor annexe (which still has no elevator) and then back down when we checked out. The room was the most spacious (ok, we were upgraded) and it had a humifier. Toiletries were good quality. The restaurant itself is a good French one. It's too bad we could not sample it but we had a taste of it at breakfast. The pastries were so good we ended up asking for more croissant and bread. I learnt later that many of its cooks have gone on to be chefs all over Japan. There is a small gift shop of some jams and honey made on the hotel grounds. Yes, highly recommended.

チサングループのビジネスホテル料金なのでゴートゥキャンペーンで、かなりお得に泊まれました。地域券も2000円分もらえてビールやおつまみを隣接するコンビニで購入し素泊まりより安く泊まれて良かったです。雲場池の紅葉を見たかったので前のりで朝早く行くために利用しましたが朝食付プランにして正解でした。美味しかったです！また利用させてもらいます

The property is very charming and the photos shown are true to actual. Location is a bit far from the station so best to arrange the shuttle bus service or take a cab. Room is neat and cosy and the private onsen is a nice bonus. Breakfast is lovely and the fresh vegetables were amazing however the dinner was a let down as it wasn’t served in the restaurant. Instead we were provided with a voucher for redemption at the bar. The food is just average, beef was not very fresh, and your clothes and hair reek of smell after dinner as they cook the food right at the bar.

Arrival and Welcome Upon our arrival at the hotel, the staff immediately greeted us and efficiently handled our luggage straight from the trunk. The lobby was notably spacious, featuring a modern yet warm ambiance. To our delight, we were welcomed with delicious drinks that were perfect for the snowy day. The staff were patient and thorough as they introduced us to the hotel's facilities, making us feel truly special. Dining Experience The dinner consisted of delightful Western cuisine, with every dish tasting superb. Despite not being fluent in English, our waiter was cheerful and made every effort to engage in conversation, enhancing our dining experience. A small note for future visits: the heating was a bit strong during our meal, making it slightly uncomfortable. Breakfast was a diverse buffet with numerous healthy options—so many that we couldn't try them all! Both meals were enjoyed by a window, providing us with beautiful views of the hotel surroundings. Room and Amenities Our room was a fusion of modern design and practicality, offering ample storage and bright spaces. It was impeccably clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We had a river view room; although the river was mostly obscured by snowy trees and had a low flow due to winter, the snowy landscape compensated beautifully. Public Onsen The hotel features a public onsen, which we unfortunately missed due to its early closing time and our own exhaustion. This was a slight disappointment as we were looking forward to experiencing it. Special Moments On our last day, when retrieving our car covered in snow, the staff offered to clear it for us. Opting to do it ourselves for the fun of the experience, the staff enthusiastically captured videos and photos, turning a simple moment into a cherished memory. We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The attention to detail, the proactive and friendly staff, and the overall quality of service made our visit unforgettable. I have already recommended this hotel to a friend visiting Karuizawa this summer, and we plan to return ourselves on our next trip. Rating: ★★★★★

Though abit far from Karuizawa station, but the moment you entered into the hotel it makes you feel like it's all worth it. The size of the room is something not what you'd expect from a typical Japanese hotel, it's really spacious and the moment you entered the suite they provided umbrella in the front of the door for their guest to use. The room is really clean, they offered nicely folded pajamas for the visitors as well as and provided all the sanitary kits you need right inside the room! Next day we were greeted warmly by the reception (that speaks really good English) and she helped us order a taxi to get around to our next stop. Too bad we only get to stay for one night, will definitely come again when we visit Karuizawa again!

二度目の滞在で今回は2泊しました。 1泊はファミリールームに滞在しましたが家族3人で過ごすには十分な広さで、とても快適でした。 バルコニーからは自然に囲まれたゴルフコースと浅間山を望むことができ、心が落ち着きます。 こちらのホテルは別館にある温泉が素晴らしいです。 天気の良い昼間には浅間山を見ながら湯船に浸かれてとても気持ちが良いです。 朝食ビュッフェでは感染対策がしっかりとなされていて安心して食事ができました。 フルーツジュースがおかわりするほど美味しくて好きです。 ホテルスタッフは物腰が柔らかく、すれ違う際には挨拶をしてくれる方々ばかり。 とても気持ちよく滞在することができました。

Our stay at the hotel was great! Being a Marriott Bonvoy member allowed us a nice upgrade for our room. Onsite staff spoke English very well. The room was very orderly and spacious. Also, this Marriott was one of the few hotels I have been to that had the room allergy ready when I told them I was allergic to feathers on the reservation. The free beverages (beer, wine, cocktails, juice, and soda) and hot meals during the membership lounge time were nice. The public bath was very clean and relaxing. The management team went above and beyond! We asked the doorman to arrange a taxi to get to a local restaurant. Instead, he worked with the assistant manager, who told us he would personally drive us to the restaurant (even included a return trip!) The breakfast buffet was excellent and had both American and Japanese fare. I will recommend this hotel to any of my friends or family who visit the area.

อาหารดี มีให้เลือกเยอะ ห้องพักกว้างขวาง สิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกครับ ประทับใจครับ

Stayed here for 3 nights as I was attending a wedding at nearby Komoro. The hotel is newly renovated and conveniently located right next to the Sakudaira Station. Lots of good food options nearby. The sushi restaurant behind the hotel is highly recommended.
