"Excellent spacious room, great breakfast."
APA Hotel Karuizawa Ekimae Karuizawaso
APA Hotel Karuizawa Ekimae Karuizawaso"Great place to stay for a visit to Kariuzawa. Next to the train station and they will hold your bags while you explore the town, then pick up your bag and head to the train station. Very helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had in Japan- lots of local, traditional foods cooked from scratch. Such a treat!"
"Very nice hotel -- well located on the main street that leads from the train station to the Ginza shopping street. Decor is French, not Japanese, and there are no grounds. The hotel is small -- only one restaurant, which serves an expensive, French set meal, hotel rooms and separated indoor and outdoor onsen for men and women. The breakfast buffet was great, as was the lounge/bar area where you could serve yourself, tea, coffee and soda most of the day and where complimentary sparkling...
"Breakfast was nice"
"Location wise it’s very convenient both to the train station and a 20 mins walk to Old Ginza Street. However the amenities are rather basic and the breakfast is rather like cafeteria food."
"Authentic Japanese experience, clean place, well maintained with great onsen, strongly recommend the Japanese style room for authenticity."
"A 5 star experience in a wonderful wooded area of the city. Striking design and great ambience combined with top level amenities, excellent food and friendly staff make the stay at this hotel an experience that I will always remember. Get ready to be spoiled when staying at this hotel! Part of the amenities also includes plenty of parking and a free shuttle service to the train station."
