Comfort Inn Karuizawa

“Small but tidy hotel”

Though a bit small, the room not much space, but clean and tidy. Breakfast served also have varieties. WiFi is stable and strong. 2 floors, with lift and also staircase. No public lobby to hang around, but can use the cafeteria space. Got public laundry machine and also food vending machine.

“Fuss free Hotel”

Comfortable and clean mid size inn. We stayed there one night and it was a good choice on our way to Nagano by car. There was ample parking space. Breakfast option was cafeteria style with a good selection to choose from. Overall good value for money.

This is a small inn which we chose as they have a room with a bunk bed to accommodate our family of 3. We booked through booking.com and asked for a non-smoking room. However we ended up in a smoking room and due to difficulties getting ourselves understood by the reception staff, decided to just take the room. There was not much difference in the end as we did not meet anyone smoking. The room was small and with our luggage there was not much space to move in. However it had most of the basic amenities like a hair dryer, shaver and toothbrush. They even provide combs and reading glasses in the lobby as well as umbrellas in case it rains. The bathroom was small but it had a bathtub. There is a small TV but all channels were in Japanese. There is a kettle in the room but tap water is safe to drink. Teabags are provided in the hotel dining area, not in the room. Noise despite our room facing the road was minimal. Many trucks ply the road in front at night but we were not disturbed by the noise. Breakfast comes with the room and is a mix of Western and Japanese food. Expect the menu to change on alternate days. We find the breakfast satisfying. There are also coin-operated washing machines and dryers in the lobby. The inn is rather far from town and the train station. About 3km from the station and Prince Plaza Outlet and about 4.5km from Karuizawa ginza. The walk is pleasant with a few Japanese restaurants along the way. You can get the reception to book a taxi and it cost about ¥1300 to the station. Buses are infrequent and the stop is done way from the inn. There is a Lawson about 200m from the inn and a 7-Eleven about a kilometer away. Note too that most of the restaurants in Prince Plaza closes at 8pm. The inn does not serve lunch or dinner. Service is good but language can be a problem.

“Reasonable and quiet road-side inn”

Good for a car traveler, as located a little out of town center, very quiet for just a sleep in accommodation. Cafeteria type of breakfast available. Found most of guests were either solo traveler, or, physical labor workers on business stay. Most were male.
