TWIN-LINE HOTEL KARUIZAWA JAPAN

I wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t sure what to do, but the staff responded flexibly and kindly, and in the end it turned into a very enjoyable trip. I was able to make wonderful memories with my daughter, who will be starting her first job in April. Thank you very much!

I used this Plan for a solo spring trip. The Plan included both breakfast and dinner, plus perks: a Hotel coupon worth JPY 2,000 and a gift of original goods.Dinner was a short course of four dishes plus dessert, but it was more than enough to leave me full. Everything was delicious, and the paella in particular was outstanding. The restaurant attached to the Hotel—where both breakfast and dinner are served—seems to be well-known for authentic Spanish cuisine, and there were non-staying guests visiting during both dinner time and morning time. (On my stay date, however, morning service seemed to be limited to guests only.)At dinner, I was able to use the coupon when ordering the course’s wine pairing.The Hotel was clean throughout, and with Facilities such as a washing machine and microwave, it seems convenient for longer stays. There were also many types of bath salts available, and it’s fun that you can mix your own favorites.Before my stay I was concerned about the walk from the station to the Hotel, but in the end I felt it had a great location with easy access to both the Old Karuizawa area and the station side. Both take a bit of time on foot, so I used the free rental bicycles. They were available from 13:00 on check-in day until 13:00 on check-out day—even before check-in and after check-out—which was very helpful. The bicycle parking area is about a 1–2 minute walk from the Hotel toward the station. From there it’s about 5 minutes by bike to Kumoba Pond, which is very convenient. It takes about 7 minutes by bike to reach the bicycle parking at the entrance of Old Karuizawa area; getting up to Mikasa Hotel requires cycling uphill for about 30 minutes.The staff were also very kind. The Hotel seems popular with international guests; there appeared to be many staff members whose first language is not Japanese as well, but everyone assisted me in fluent Japanese.Overall it was an extremely comfortable Hotel at a reasonable price, so I was very satisfied. I would definitely like to stay again when I visit Karuizawa next time.
