It is extremely conveniently located next to the Happo One gondola and several popular bars / restaurants. The rooms are clean and generally the staff were very helpful, but the physical state of the building and the smell of diesel fuel is a little off putting. The breakfast is very basic but in the hotel’s defence, everything was pretty much exactly as described and the price reflects the value you get here. ##### Albert Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michelle 15 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This "hotel" is one step above a hostel. It's basically a college dorm. The women's bathroom had 1 working toilet. Other 2 stalls said out of order. The beds were very uncomfortable and metal bed frames were very squeaky. 90% of the guests were under 25, at most. Two stars, 1 for breakfast was pretty good. 2 for location. ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lynn 6 Mar 2026 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had higher expectations of the lodging based on pictures and descriptions. Was not a comfortable or clean place to stay for those of us who aren’t in our 20s and who didn’t intend on staying at a large hostel. I love hostels but this was priced like a low cost hotel but without amenities. ##### Lynn Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2026 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kira 28 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities We arrived at the hotel around 10 pm and there was noone at the desk.The keys were in envelopes on the desk with instructions. Our bags (that were shipped) were just unsecured. No instructions on the location of the elevator which was in the other wing (A). No locks on lockers for your ski equipment. There was no TV or WiFi (except inside the guest lounge). Bathrooms are communal and not every floor has one. Communal showers are in the basement. Just a very generic room. There were 3 of us, so we were in a small room with no dressers or closet. Our sleeping arrangement was 1 single bed and a bunk bed. The only positive to this place is it is a stone’s throw from the Happo ski resort. Just be prepared to have your clothes/bags strewn across the room. This is more a hostel than it is a hotel. ![Room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/41c9b6af-1b0b-4155-9c9a-c189ad66b1cc-1772254967399.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Free breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/75277bbc-81b4-4768-aced-0a47766a5b31-1772254985539.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Free breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/987b9054-7dc7-4953-8d51-5dc3fcac6440-1772255001101.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Free breakfast ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d2e80a3-9cf7-4a4a-a0f3-dc2eaef7d503-1772254997007.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kira Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 5 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location. Noisy until late from the bar. Dirty room with hole in the wall. Mostly polite staff, one rude staff member checking in. Maybe good choice for younger party crowd. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Saihung 20 Jan 2023 Disliked: Amenities The location for Happo One basically can't be beat. You can throw a snowball to the Gondola from in front of the building. The building is old and there is only Wi-Fi in the guest lounge. I tried to email the staff for some information multiple times over a month and they never responded. ##### Saihung Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Benjamin 31 Jan 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is the definition of everything that is wrong with Hakuba!! A fossil of the 1998 Olympics, now owned and operated by Australians, like the rest of Hakuba. Walking into this hotel was like teleporting straight into Front Valley, Perisher. The only Japanese person we seen, was told to speak english by reception staff when he asked for his room number in Japanese. Disgraceful!! ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stuart 21 Jan 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort Rooms are far too small and cramped insufficient power points to charge mobile lighting way too dim you can hardly see anything they don’t have a courtesy bus to local bus depot and if Taxis are unavailable as they were well it’s just too bad for you .they gave 3 busses sitting there but apprantley they belong to another company steps are way too steep and would be illegal in Australia breakfast was a joke overall disappointing stay ##### Stuart Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mark 28 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is old and not maintained well. Breakfast is poor. Rooms are small, old and dirty. Understaffed and awful manager. Lazy, does not want to help with anything. Very poor service ##### Mark ### 4/10 Poor #### Wendy 31 Dec 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The people who work here are WONDERFUL. Sad that mgmt put them in this position. The facility is really in terrible shape, maintained in a patchwork, the grounds had snow boulders falling from roof and a treacherous entrance to reception. The worst arrival we've ever had; there was no shuttle service to the hotel. The roads were icy and there were no available taxis so we wandered around with gear and suitcases for 1 1/2 hours taking two nasty falls on the ice after a 12 hour trip to get there. Instead of skiing, we planned our second day of slope time there lugging our stuff back to the bus station for shipping in order to prepare for departure. The property is not a hotel, rather it's a dorm/hostel type of place. The shared bathroom was on another floor from us on 4, had one out of order, and it was flooded from the other leaking and smelly in the women's 3rd floor. Fire exits were blocked with old beds and furniture, tied open to window latches or inoperable with doors removed, no sprinklers, etc. It was completely dangerous as far as fire safety evac goes. Difficult to navigate by its byzantine corridors and lockers for gear don't lock. I never went to the communal shower but opted to use the hot springs (a 20 minute walk) after seeing the grunge reviews about not going in without shower shoes. If you wanted a nice bath there, it costs ¥3,000 extra which is more than the one in the village. Overall, the staff and location to lift were super. ##### Wendy Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Woody Ki Fung 9 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not as advertised. Definitely not a 3 star hotel. No wifi - at first I was wondering why all these folks are hanging out at the reception area. It turned out that there's the only spot in the "hotel" with WIFI. There is no in room wifi. This "hotel" definitely does not have "Free Wifi" to me. Although "check in policies" said check in time is from 4pm to 11:30pm, there was no staff at the reception at 9:30pm. There is a little envelope with your name and the room key in it at the reception... The lack of any amenities other than body soap, shampoo and some filthy towel. There is no kettle or hair dryer in the room, which I consider a standard for 3 star hotel. In other 3 star hotels, you can pick up razor, toothbrush or whatever at the counter. There is none in this hotel. No drinkable water - There is a vending machine at the front door, but you know what, water was sold out. A guy from another group looked at me and said "There is no water bro, what are you gonna get?...." Unstable, structurally unsound bunk bed. OK, I paid I think 3000 more to get the room with 3 twin beds, and what I got was a double bed and a bunk bed...The bunk bed makes all kind of squeaking noise when I was just trying to get onto the top bed. It feels really dangerous Breakfast with no meat - I have lived in Japan for a long time, and I have stayed in many cheaper hotels, but this hotel provides by far the worst breakfast. There was only bread(toast) with jam and cereal for food. Don't bother. ##### Woody Ki Fung ### 10/10 Excellent #### YOSHINOBU 24 Feb 2023 Liked: Staff & service スタッフの対応が良かった。 ##### YOSHINOBU Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 残念な滞在 部屋、特にトイレに虫が数匹いつもみられました。部屋の中の換気のためにつけた装置が結構音がしたので 寝る時はオフにしました。シャワートイレでもなく サ-ビスも常にフロントスタッフが対応していただけなく 時間が決まっていて 快適に過ごせませんでした。残念です。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hayley 31 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We usually stay in a ski resort type hotel, but decided to try a different hotel this time and we’re not disappointed. This hotel has no frills, breakfast is a very simple affair, but it’s convenient, reasonable and the staff are friendly. Be aware, if you hire your kit from the hotel, it’s convenient in terms of location and price, but the opening hours for rental are limited. We turned up at midday expecting to be able to do half a day of boarding, to find they had closed and didn’t reopen until 4pm after the slopes closed, which was frustrating. All in all though a great place to stay, the bar was fun to visit and it had a great Aussie vibe. ##### Hayley ### 8/10 Good #### Keita 3 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 部屋にティッシュボックスは欲しかった ##### Keita Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ryo 11 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### 寝るだけ！宿泊費は安くていいです！ 簡素なホテルですが名前の通りゴンドラから近く、スキー場へのアクセスは抜群です。 朝食はトーストなどシンプルなものです。 ##### Ryo Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Serge 5 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good budget option for not fuzzy travelers. I chose this hotel as we were on a budget. Two nights during peak season would set me back around 150.000 yen. This hotel was below 60.000 yen for three nights which was the reason I reserved immediately without checking the reviews. Afterwards I started reading the reviews and then the worries started to grow... shared toilets, dirty, etc , were keywords which popped up in most reviews. When we arrived we were met by a polite Japanese person who checked us in. There is no parking, but next to the hotel is a snowfree parking for 1000 yen a night. The room was spacious and really nice and warm. It's a bit old, but nothing to complain about. We had a family room with toilet and shower and bath. The toilet and the bath unit are together so this was a little inconvenient for a family of 5...but certainly not 100.000 yen worth of inconvenience. We had a double bed for the parents which was comfortable, we had a bunk bed for two kids, but the upper bed was too noisy, so we took the mattress and put it on the ground. The third bed was a sleeping sofa which was not comfortable due to a hard part which splits the sofa/bed in the middle. But we were all dead tired, so we slept through all incomfort. In the morning we had a free breakfast with toast and jam, cereals and boiled eggs. The area is very nice and lively and it's really in front of happo gondola. My family are all boarders though so we drove to hakuba 47 which is a 10 minute drive. All in all, we had a great time, thanks! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20B17591863E622C3EC8DA52CE0344059AB61AB91641363735631.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Serge Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A pleasant stay Overall, I had a great stay at the Hakuba Gondola Hotel.

Water pressure is good and the showers water is hot which is needed after a day of snowboarding. It met my needs. A place to stay to rest and shower, and free breakfast in the morning. Would stay again if I could bring my dog next time. ##### LeAnn808 Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kurt 4 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, top tier service Walking distance to the gondola is what drove us to select this hotel, but the service and amenities made it the perfect place. We had 3 to a room and it was not too bad for space. The attached bar and restaurant were always welcoming and the hotel includes a spacious dry room with lockers to put your gear after hitting the slopes. Overall, a great stay and would definitely recommend. ##### Kurt Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location Easy access from Happo bus terminal. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service 場所は最高の立地でした。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 21 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### ゴンドラ乗り場へのアクセス以外、特に無し。 白馬駅からホテルまでの送迎バスが、片道2000円!? wifiエリアが、bar.、ラウンジの2カ所に限定されており、且つ、電波は脆弱。部屋の下がbarの為、深夜まで、バンコクのカオサンの安宿の様なうるささ、アダムゴンドラ乗り場からのアクセス以外、何のメリットも無し。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BernieComerford 11 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An amazing location. Lovely helpful staff. Great bar. Our rooms were a good size with ensuite and lovely view of the mountain. Loved the small chub to relax in at the end of the day. English breakfast that was included in the price was perfect. Looking forward to returning one day. ##### BernieComerford Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Ylläs Log Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kittila-Hotels-Yllas-Log-Cabins.h20129406.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Slano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Slano-Hotels.d6125463.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6069845-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Luxury Hotels in Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Sicily-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6048323-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Hotels with Pool in Düsseldorf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dusseldorf-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d180001-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Ocean Breeze Resort Khao Lak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takua-Pa-Hotels-Ocean-Breeze-Resort-Khaolak.h3049196.Hotel-Information) > - [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Corralejo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corralejo-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6049905-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Louan-Villegruis-Fontaine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Louan-Villegruis-Fontaine-Hotels.d3000404783.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [PortAventura Hotel Gold River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-PortAventura-Hotel-Gold-River-Theme-Park-Tickets-Included.h2970683.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Bahia Feliz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Bahia-Feliz-San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels.s50-n6356178-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near University of Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/University-Of-Aberdeen-Hotels.0-l6083421-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in New Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Town-Kolkata-Hotels.0-n553248633981711493-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Pension Hakuba ‘70](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagano-Hotels-Pension-Hakuba-70.h23909321.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Asaba (ABB) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abb/lgw/asaba-to-london) > - [Flights from Somerset (SME) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sme/lhr/somerset-to-london) > - [Flights from Bournemouth (BOH-Bournemouth Intl.) to Riga (RIX-Riga Intl.)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/rix/bournemouth-to-riga) > - [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Castrillon (OVD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/ovd/glasgow-to-oviedo) > - [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/ywg/edinburgh-to-winnipeg) > - [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Larnaca (LCA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/lca/manchester-to-larnaca) ### Cars > - [Europcar Car Rentals In Sale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europcar-Car-Rentals-In-Sale.d180178-c14.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > - [Car hire in Northfleet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Northfleet.d3000417099.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > - [Cascadas de Roberto Barrios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cascadas-De-Roberto-Barrios-Palenque.d553248621558114668.Attraction) > - [Villa Mussolini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villa-Mussolini-Riccione.d553248634042014300.Attraction) ### General > - [Visit Isleornsay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isleornsay.dx3000011001) ---
