The room was large for a Japan property, and the staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is well located on the street with lots of restaurants and shops. The only thing was that parking was a bit further and the furniture/hotel was definitely a bit dated, for example, the air conditioner. However, they were all in functioning condition. I would recommend this place at the price point that we paid for.

It lives up to its name with peaceful, park surroundings. Beautiful reception and high quality food served for breakfast. Felt like being in a grand restaurant. Everything was unique, farm fresh milk and cream. Banquet to savour anyone’s tastes. The amenities in the room were high quality along with robes and slippers. Some unique features of the shower but just a new custom.

軽井沢駅と旧軽井沢銀座入口までの中間地点にあり、とても便利でした。 設備は古いですが、清潔でした。 部屋の近くのウォーターサーバーの水が切れていましたが、ホテルスタッフの方に伝えると補充していただけました。 評判通り、朝食バイキングがどれもとてもおいしかったです。 ホテルでレンタルサイクルを借りることができるのも便利でした。 お値段もリーズナブルなので、軽井沢に泊まる際には又宿泊したいと思います。

ホテルの方が会うたびに私達大人にも子どもにも気さくに声掛けて下さいました。 帰りに建物の前で写真撮ろうとしていたら撮りますよ、と気付いて下さり、そのあと車に乗る前に並木道のところで子どもの写真を撮っていたらまた別の方が気付いて下さり、家族の写真を撮って下さいました。 家族揃っての写真はなかなか撮れないのでとっても嬉しかったです。 またパティシエのケーキがあるとネットで見たのでとても楽しみにしていて、着いた日にすぐ道路沿いのカフェでここのケーキ、キッシュ、マカロンをそれぞれ食べましたが、どれも絶品でした。 キッシュは中のチーズとベーコンがすごく美味しくて、パイ生地も本当に美味しくて感激しました。 2日目の夜もホテルの部屋でホテル入り口で販売しているピスタチオのムースケーキを頂きましたが、側面の砂糖でサクッとした表面のスポンジのところもとっても美味しかったです。 またかわいいお皿に用意して下さり、その気遣いも嬉しかったです。 朝食は向かいの建物でバイキング形式でしたが、新鮮なサラダにふんわりオムレツ、口コミで美味しいと評判のフレンチトースト、炊き込みご飯など、口にする全てのものが本当に美味しかったです。朝から魚のカルパッチョまであって刻んだ野菜のドレッシング?と、サラダの手作り風のドレッシングがめちゃくちゃおいしくてついつい食べ過ぎました。 ホテルの建物は古くてもきちんと管理されていて特に気になりませんでしたが、(階段の木の手すりや、ウェルカムドリンクが用意してある場所、ステンドグラス風のまどが素敵でした。)お風呂の浴槽に髪の毛3本くらいあったり、子どもがトイレの後いつも便座の裏におしっこがついて汚すので拭こうとあげたら歴代の?汚れがありヒー(*_*)!となりましたので星四つにさせてもらいましたが、他は埃など気にならずきれいでした。 とっても美味しい朝食が2000円でとてもコスパもいいし、立地も駅からぷらぷら歩ける距離で、周りにもカフェ、レストラン、旧軽通りにも歩いて行けるし森の中の散歩もできるので軽井沢に来る時はぜひまたこちらに泊まりたいです(^^)

大人2名女性で2泊しました。お盆中の軽井沢はは車・バス・タクシーが時間通りに動かないほど道路が混みます。そんな時に駅、旧軽井沢、雲場池など徒歩圏内のこちらのホテルは、散歩がてらあちこち行けてお得な気分になりました。また、他の方の口コミ通り、ホテルスタッフがフレンドリー、朝食のフレンチトーストは絶品、緑に囲まれた静かな環境の素敵なホテルでした。ひとつだけ残念だったのが、浴槽が洗いが甘いのか入った時にぬめりを感じました。たまたまかもしれませんね。 翌日は、近くに日帰り入浴できる温泉を見つけてそちらでのんびり入浴しました。
