Madaraos best family stay
Love Active Life its a fun family friendly venue with the best hostess your ever going to find Lisa does an awesome job, third time weve been always have fun
Nadia
Everything is within walkable distance. Lifts were just a brisk walk away. Lisa was lovely & very knowledgeable.
paula
Staff, food, game room, bedrooms, outdoor hot tub, and amenities are over the top amazing and comfortable. Everyone was so kind and went above and beyond making our 4 night stay an epic ski week experience of a lifetime. We made new friends and had everything, and more even, than we needed. If we ever make it back to the area we would definitely stay here again.
David
Great place to stay in Madarao
Excellent base for a Madarao ski trip. Room was spacious enough for all our gear and had a very comfy bed. Staff were all brilliant and went out of their way to help us when we messed up our logistics. Outdoor Onsen was a major plus and excellent after a day on the hill. Loved Madarao too. Great ski hill and loads of fun places for the evening.
Anthony
This is our second trip at the property, We found the staff help full and very accommodating. The property could do with a few upgrades, but generally its has all the facilities needed for a great snow holiday.

Wonderfull family vacation with great hosts!
Our 3 night felt we had been there weeks. The staff, especially Lisa the manager and her husband Stuart, were so lovely and always available for any of our needs, they made us feel like family. Lisa had a saying that if a yes to your request wasn't available she would find a way around it to fulfill your request. The hotel was super clean and everything felt and looked new. The food was great and the service was impeccable. When we went to get our ski gear we noticed it was all brand new and some of the gear even had the tags in it. Loved the stay and would go there again. I Would 100% recommend staying there.
Myles
Excellent stay, the manager and the team were wonderful, going beyond the usual and we really enjoyed our stay. We are so grateful to the management for helping us when our car got stuck a few km from the hotel.
The building is old but the location is good, being close to the top of a run down to the main lift area.
Rooms are nicely renovated, and the public areas have a lot of space with really good facilities, including a games room, ski rental place, several lounge areas and a large dining area.
There is also an onsen on site - remember to bring swimming things since it is mixed.

Lisa and Stewart were amazing hosts. Went above and beyond for all guests. Really nice atmosphere, friendly little bar onsite. Ski/Board lessons & hire onsite. Great location. Short 5 min walk to ski lift. Great little bar/s and restaurants close. Madarao is very quiet ski town. The Mountain can get busy during weekends/holiday's.
David
Great
Stayed in a deluxe type room, very comfortable bed, really clean bath and new-looking appliances all around. The common areas were also very warm and comfy, and the staff nice and accommodating. Literally in front of the bus stop and 3 min. walk to the ski lifts. 10/10 would stay again.
They have a drink vending machine, but also having some snacks available for purchase at the hotel would have been great.

Very nice staff, but the place itself is dirty and stinks to humid all over the place. Also you need to pay extra for the onsen…
Won't repeat.

A real nice hotel, where customers are still taken for value. Easy access to the Madarao ski slopes (100 m walk). Decent breakfast made with care and possibility to have dinner as well. Attention to detail with bar, games area, children area and not to forget the possibility to rent the outdoor Onsen. With the snow on one side this was a real treat.
Not to forget the excellent service minded staff !!!

The room I had was great, and large, judging by my previous Japan trips. The staff were very good. The included breakfast was a great way to start the day. The bar and restaurant were fine. And the drying room was good also nicely heated. If I am back in Madarao I would have no problems staying here again.
Verified traveler
I loved all the amenities available to us here. The free yoga, free breakfast, hot Onsen. Bedding was super comfy and staff was always pleasant. The lifts are a short (but steep) walk away. Bus stop practically right outside.
P&A
It actually feels cozy wherever you go within the property, the room, the welcoming desk, the bar, the lounge, the stockroom etc.! Of course, it's only minutes walk from the very pretty ski area!
Sue
Glorified back packers.
For the price we were very disappointed, the property is really a glorified back packers. The bedroom was a reasonable size if not on small size, the bed was very comfortable and the linen was very good. However the staff and the foyer let the property down. The staff appeared to have little hospitality training and while some were lovely to deal with others left a lot to desired. The bar, foyer and common areas need renovation.

A relaxing Madarao stay!
Snow condition was excellent when we arrived at Iiyama station. Although a clear direction from bus stop to the hotel entrance was informed, we took a Jumbo taxi which only cost 2-3k JPY more than the bus ride for 4 persons, a snowboard bag and 4 luggage. The room is spacious in size, with new comfy beds and towels, and has the nicest view. Very good breakfast and dinner, kids play area, relaxing bar. My girls love the brownie at coffee corner. The most valuable asset of the hotel is the staff. They are very smart, hard working, extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you all very much for taking care of our stay. Cheers!

Nice rooms but pics only show the nice half of the renovation
However there were not many nice looking places to stay so we settled with this one
Breakfast was ok
They ran out of the dinner special at 7pm...

The only thing saving this hotel is the fact that they have Netflix. Out room was filthy, with old slippers from the last people that stayed in the room left under the bed (along with bottles and dust). Our room had no towels, which we only realised once we got out of the shower (and by then it was too late). The staff are mostly immature and young kids with no experience, and hog the hotel amentinities such as the spa, meaning you have to wait ages before you can get in. Really didn’t enjoy this place.
