"one staff member stood out among the rest very welcoming genuine and helpful. great place to stay regardless if ski or not comfortable great breakfast it caters more for forigners compared to other places in the area"

"Everything was great, staff was absolute class and helped us out whenever we needed it"

"The staff were helpful nd so professional. The onsen was so clean and quaint. "

"Second time using Nozawa Dream central. Location is excellent. Staff ALWAYS go above and beyond to help. Special shout out to Cora! Extremely helpful! Staff also understand the nuances to blending the Japanese +/- western resort experience. Rooms are traditional tatami style, so just be aware after a few days of sending it, our lumbered western bodies may take a hit getting up and down from the mats. Bathrooms/showers are shared - gets very cold down there. Coffee and tea station all provided for. No breakfast during this season's visit. But that's not a deal breaker. "

"All good, but need to consider bigger room bed for family with two kids"

"Great place to stay and super accommodating with everything!! They offer free shuttles and it was so easy to ski nearby resorts "

"Cool, old school Japan experience. Dated for sure but has charm. Nice folks running it. Breakfast was small, probably the only real complaint. Also no instant coffee available to make on your own so for those that like to get up and have a cup it’s not happening until breakfast and if you order Japanese breakfast you pay extra for coffee. Cold in the hotel, and the kerosene heaters don’t turn on super early so you’re in your room till 7. Nice onsen. "

"Upon arriving during the two-hour check-in window, I was puzzled as to if anyone worked here. I walked in the front, no one. Went around back, just a couple ski resort patrons. I was sure I was in the right building from the photos, but it looked more like an abandoned building with some squatters in the form of skiers. "
