Hotel Kodama

酒店滑進滑出，租的小賀板雪具也便宜，對面的雪具店專業雪具貴4倍。可以酒店租鞋，對面租粉雪板。 酒店晚餐很棒，每晚都不同，温泉温度很好，就是晚上比較無聊。 志賀高原中國大陸來的人少，不過華人多，然後可以長野火車站的長途巴士，直接到酒店門口，一之瀨滑雪場下站。

まず、フロントのお爺さん2人が最悪でした。テキトーな説明にタメ口。朝一番で会っても挨拶もなく、スキー靴を入れる所はどこ？…の問いに靴は部屋ね！と、上から目線。え？板のところに置けないんですか？と聞くと…冷たくなるよ。と、あっさり言われ。スキーのロッカーは、暖房が効いていないらしく、初めに言えよ！と思いました💢　部屋には冷蔵庫も金庫も無いし、食事の際のおばあちゃんのバイト？も、仕事が遅すぎで…お酒を頼んでもなかなか出て来ないし。更に並べてあったお刺身は乾燥しているし、お味噌はぬるい始末…😭朝はお風呂も入れないし。売店もなく、ホテル全体が暗くて寒かったです。 本当にムカつく事しかなくて、年末の思い出のスキー旅行が、今までの長年の旅行人生で最も最悪な宿泊となりました。 残念です。

Second visit and booked directly with Hotel Kodama. Great value for money for 3 adults in 1 room with ensuite facility. Breakfast and dinner included. Dinner was particularly good with a rotating menu every 4 days. Very Japanese and traditional, and lots of it! Staff were very friendly and helpful, and appreciated out attempts at Japanese conversation. Hotel would have been a happenind place in its heyday, unfortunately it does look run down and seats in the rooms could do with replacement. Otherwise, it was clean and tidy, well located with the Nagaden bus stop just outside, and a ski rental hire place opposite. There is a convenience store 10mins walk away which was useful (open til 9pm), however there was no bar fridge in the room, which made us improvise on using the window sill as the fridge (worked a treat given how cold it was!). There were lockers provided for your skis/board, there was an ice maker/fridge on our floor, as were the clothes washer and dryer (coin operated). All in all, a very comfortable stay, close to amenities and ski ticket office, and ski runs (both at front and back) - so pretty much ski in/out.

We don't need 5 star, only warm & clean room, close to lifts, good meals dinner was great (though breakfast did run out of food when busy) and helpful staff. Kodama Hotel delivered adequately. Will return.
