Nomad Hakuba

We had a great stay at this hotel. It is a 2 minute walk to the shuttle which takes you to the slopes, and right in the area with the restaurants and bars. There is a very cosy lounge area with a bar in the hotel which was a great place to relax after a long day on the slopes. My room was comfy and there was a nice onsen which we could use. There is also a laundry facility with a drying room, which was very useful. Most of all, the staff were super friendly and helpful with tips, they even sent some items I had forgotten there to my next hotel which I greatly appreciated.

I wanted a Japanese lifestyle experience and the staff definitely made sure I experience the fun.

The location is central to Echoland. The place was comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. I would definitely return.

The public bath and the chill area with the tv The rooms are very big too Very nearby many many restaurants Relatively old Slightly dusty

friendly staff, cleanliness, drying room! hard bed

The staff were so friendly and accommodating!! There could have been more breakfast options, but other than that it was a really good stay!

Location was good, there are 2 nearby bus stops which is sufficient enough to travel around hakuba valley and various resorts. Room condition was great too and very spacious. There is also a communal lounge to relax, chill and chit chat with other travelers and it is a very cozy setup as well with sofas, chairs, carpets and even a bar laid around. Very good & nice Maybe when it comes to finding food such as lunch or dinner, there are only a few japanese restaurants nearby this accommodation, where as the other half are western type cuisine. So in terms of japanese food, choices are quite limited and few too as it can get quite packed during peak hours. Overall there are still plenty of places to eat, just limited choices in local food as that was my main priority when in Japan

The men's shared bath tub was sometimes lukewarm, but that is probably because the other guests were adding cold water to the bath. The water coming in to the shared bath was a bit lukewarm as well.

Nomad was great, the staff were super lovely and helpful. The room was very generous and had a beautiful view. Would highly recommend Nomad

Exceptional

Superb

Very good

Helpful staff Only one ladies shower. Bar across the road was very loud at night

Superb

Location, view and room size, bar and lounge all great ? Has the potential to be amazing just needs some fine tuning, especially for the price we paid. Air-conditioning sounded like a airplane so loud. They gave us a smelly heated instead. Door locks very heavy so you hear banging doors all night. Very basic continental breakfast

location+ room

The common room had a Scandinavian feel with hot water and TV for tea. Showers 24hrs. Receptionest friendly breakfast continental only. Huge place to store luggage, 3 minutes walk (5mins snow) to Ecoland's JaJa convenience store bus stop to catch free shuttle bus to bus terminal. Another stop for Happo Nakiyama Slope is at Sportscenter (am/pm not hourly). Spicy rental is 10mins walk in snow. Someone was watching Squid Game on the common room TV but was also playing with his feet and peeling scabs. Although it was 9.pm over hours most skiers probabily getting ready for bed, a bit disgusted by the insanitary activity in a public area. Shared bath (ryokan) was OK but hours were limited to 2 to pm, not open in the morning. Room heater was too small to heat up entire room. The hotel is probabily older than it appears in the reception area and common room. Dimmed lighting, you had to make your own bed in the evening, very little hotel service, we had a hard time calling a cab and the short paths to main street was too snowy to pull luggages. Would say the hotel more like a top level youth hostel. Not ideal with kids under 6 years old without a car.

The location was excellent - right near skiing bus stops, convenience store, restaurants and ski hire places. Breakfast was cute, but no that filling for a full day's skiing (sugar cereal and white toast). Our room was bigger than I expected so that was good but the carpet was wet all along the wall near the window which made the room smell a little mouldy.

The communal areas were great, including the lounge/whiskey bar and onsen. The lodge is well located, only a short walk from the shuttle bus stop to Happo One, 47, Tsugaike and Iwatake. A few restaurants and cafes close by too. Staff were lovely. Our room smelt musty, and the mattresses looked to be 30 years old - so old that springs were poking through them. This was disappointing given the price we were paying each night. Although the lodge is central in Echoland, we found the shuttle service inadequate - most days took us 1 hour minimum to go to the slopes. Some days it took us 1.5 hours to get home, even from Happo One! The shuttles are so complicated to figure out to do anything that doesn't involve skiing that not even the staff could help is plan simple transport to places in in Happo.

The breakfast in the morning was delicious and enough to start the day. The facilities were clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful any time you needed it. The beds and pillows were a bit hard for my liking.
