This is claimed to be ski-in/ski-out, it is not! More like walk far ski less...There are plenty lodges / hotels / inns that are nicer and have much more to offer which are much closer to the lifts... yes, this location is closest to the slopes by sight and air distance, but unless you have the means to jump 50 meters with a height to clear a gondola, you're better off choosing different accommodation ;-)They also claim full continental breakfast...That must be the joke of this century! They serve you a depressing, ill-tasting hospital like experience in form of a bento box - EVERY morning! So, unless you're suicidal please bring your own food...We had a room sleeping 8 - it was a room with two beds and 6 horrible mattresses... not ideal skiing with back issues every morning.The only thing they really know how to do at Hotel Bonfire is overcharge...Stay somewhere else. For the love of god, stay somewhere else!

Choose wisely, stay somewhere else ;-)

We stayed 4 nights at Hotel Bonfire for ski trip this month. 

Pros: 
Location. Close to Happo Gondola about 5 mins walk. 
Stuff - friendly and wiling to help.

Cons:
Onsen (Hot spring public bath) only opens from 4:30PM to 8:30PM. It's very rare in Japanese Hotel.

Breakfast is lack of love. Breakfast is a lunch box which heated by microwave.

Room - clean but lack of anything (No tea cups, tooth brush, fridge...). No house keeping during 4 days stays. 

WiFi - very weak at the hotel even the router is just next to my room.

When we arrived, Mr. Lee (Manager) picked us up at the bus station but when we leave the hotel after 4 days stay. We were told that he cannot take us to the bus station and we have to take the taxi to the bus station which is about 5 mins drive from the hotel.

Overall, this is not a hotel I will recommend. If the location is the only concern for your ski trip then this might be the one for you. Considering the price of this hotel, you will have more better choice in this area.

Location is the only advantage

優點: 地點算是方便, 有提供"接"的服務, 整體算乾淨缺點: 1)人力不足, check out居然沒有送到車站的服務,僅協助叫車2) 房間備品只有洗髮精沐浴乳吹風機毛巾熱水壺,沒了!!連水杯都沒有3)早餐就是加熱便當4)溫泉只開放4點到8點,對於日式旅館是很少見的,滑雪很需要泡湯,這讓我們很不滿意整體而言就只是提供住的地方沒有任何服務,以這樣的房價來比,我相信有更好的選擇If you only look for a hotel to stay, Bonfire can meet your expectation but nothing more. They even not provide tea cups in room. Breakfast is just a lunch box. They do pick you up to hotel but no more. We have a take taxi when check out. Public bath area is good but only open from 4pm to 8pm which is rare in Japan.

如果你只在乎地點這是個好選擇,但其他的都不及格

Hotel staff is helpful when needed ! Almost ski in, ski out location ! Dinning around valley is easy !

Hakuba ski

Staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location. Our room was clean but small. Even though the hotel is next to the gondola you have to negotiate a steep driveway by foot which can be tricky at the top and bottom. It is about 100 metres walk from the godola. Our room was on the 5th floor. Elevator only goes to fourth floor. The room had a small high window so we could not see anything outside. There were no chairs, no kettle or cups and no fridge in the room. There was a communal kettle and microwave in the hallway on the next floor down. Breakfast was a toasted egg sandwich and cold sweetcorn soup (I think).

Well located in Happoone

Bonfire hotel is right next to the main Happo One ‘Adam’ gondola - just a 2 minute walk (albeit down the steep driveway) to the lift - so the location is excellent. Ski hire place is right next door. Lots of bars, cafes and restaurants are within a 1-10 minute walk. Shuttle buses to Hakuba 47, Goryu and bus station (for other ski slopes) go from the end of the driveway. 
Hotel staff are friendly and helpful and Lee deserves the positive comments from other reviewers. He’s really helpful and cheerful and we were very grateful for the lifts to and from the bus station. 
We had a Japanese style family room. Futons a bit harder than our usual beds but we all slept really well and the room was spacious (especially as you can clear the mattresses out of the way). 
The hotel’s onsen are fabulous and just perfect for sore legs. Separate areas for men and women. Each had an indoor and an outdoor section. Very clean. 
Our children were huge fans of the (free) massage chairs in the communal area. 
The breakfast is basic but fine. No choice so don’t expect an elaborate buffet style breakfast. 
We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Lee and team. 

Great location & friendly service

Great location and hotel staffs are so friendly and helpful.

Great location !

Good location with restaurants around. 
Steep slope to the hotel is a deterrent with ski boots and ski to carry after alighting from shuttle bus; shuttle bus stop is about 10 mins walk from the hotel.
Fairly new hotel facitilies with nice 'onsen' in hotel.
But regular features one expects of hotel are lacking - e.g. electric kettle has to be shared with other rooms, no fridge, you have to ask for cups and teabags, they are not provided in the room.

Good and bad

Bonfire ticked all the boxes for our family of 4 (2 adults, boys 14 & 12). Clean & within walking distance to gondola & many dining options. Lee & his staff were outstanding. They were friendly and bent over backwards to make our stay memorable. Lee provided transportation to & from the station, catered to our dietary needs & helped us make dining & tour reservations. The onsen is clean & a welcome treat after a day on the slopes. Highly recommend Bonfire for your Hakuba stay.

Outstanding stay 

Right next to gondola but you’ll have to walk a bit to ski - long steep driveway, street, then resort- 100m or so.Traditional Japanese style room with basically no furniture- sleep on floor mats.Great features include: good daily breakfast with a great view, comfortable common area with massage chairs, big bath (onsens) is very nice and hot, and very convenient ski gear storage.Thanks to Lee and staff for a great stay!
