Top Karuizawa Hotel Reviews

Kyu Karuizawa Hotel Otowa No Mori

Kyu Karuizawa Hotel Otowa No Mori

10/10 Excellent
"This was our second time stay, and we loved everything. The breakfast was excellent, but one foreign stuff member's sleeve was too short and the bottom was undone. The staff were friendly, though a few foreign staff members had difficulty understanding my questions in Japanese. This hotel is excellent, that is why I believe the customers would expect them to speak Japanese language in native level otherwise it will affect the longtime hotel history. I hope the hotel continues its excellent service and professional atmosphere."
