First off - I am not too sure where the negative feedback has come from. This is not a 5 star luxury hotel, but a privately owned hostel/hotel located in a nice little ski town not too far from Nagano on the Myoko Kogen train so please don't go here expecting everything you would do from a more luxury hotel. 

The guys that run this place are nice and always willing to help. They supply a hearty breakfast with eggs, toast, bacon/sausages, salad cereal and the usual tea/coffee/juice which was always plentiful before a day on the slopes. The beds here are comfy enough to get a decent night sleep in and all the bedrooms are heated, as other commenters have noted, the communal areas are pretty cold but for the majority you are in your room, at a restaurant or out on the slopes so we didn't find this a problem at all. The Onsen was nice at the end of a days skiing and was big enough for 6 close friends (perhaps 4 if you don't want to have your feet touching one another). We cannot comment on the restaurant as we did not use this as there are plenty of good food options around Onsen which are all incredibly good value as well. 

Like most Japanese rooms outside the big cities, the heating is quite often through kerosene heaters which can leave you with quite a dry mouth/throat. A few of us got sore throats across a number of properties in Japan so don't use this against these guys as it seems to be the norm. 

All in all I really enjoyed Onsen and the hotel made it even better. Keep up the good work guys,.

Good little spot in Akakura Onsen

Akakura Onsen is a small town and everything is fairly close by but thanks to the hotel we enjoyed discounts to renting the ski equipment at the shop nearby. We also enjoyed private use of the onsen for half hour each day and the English-speaking hotel stuff was super friendly and helpful.

Good hotel and convenient location

We had some trouble with our first accomodation booking. I won’t go in to detail as I refuse to take from someone’s rice bowl, but it lead us to Susan and Nick’s place which was a good thing. A last minute availability appeared and we snapped it up. Myosen has some poor reviews on TripAdvisor that had me worried but we saw nothing remotely like those reports during our stay. The hotel is quality, budget, accommodation. Our tatami room fit us four easily. The whole place was clean and well maintained. It was warm (too warm if you put the heater on full) with the minor exception of the breakfast room, but it’s a big space that makes no sense keeping heated before the 7.30am crowd. The onsen downstairs was perfectly adequate and the breakfasts, while a little repetitive, were plentiful and filling. We got exactly what we paid for and more and we’d happily stay there again. Nick mentioned that they are so focussed on running the business that they don’t get to ski much, which is a shame. They are omnipresent in the reception area and were happy to provide what advice they could, book a taxi when needed, and generally make the stay as comfortable as possible. 

We will be booking again for next year.

Loved our stay.

My family an I had a wonderful time staying at Hotel Myosen. We were a bit nervous as it was our first time all sharing a traditional style Japanese room (tatami mats and futon mattresses) but it was all they had at the time of booking. We need not have worried as it turned out to be warm and comfortable and we pretended it was a giant Japanese tent on a camping trip. Susan and Nick could not have been more friendly and helpful and we thank them for making our stay so lovely. The rest of the staff were just as nice. The breakfast was well made and plentiful (nicely cooked scrambled eggs) and fueled you up for a day on the slopes. If you have dinner and the maitake mushrooms are on the menu then you must order them -- just wow. The onsite onsen is just a perfect way to start and end every day. The location is superb as it is a short walk to two ski fields and right in the heart of this beautiful little village. This is not a five star facility and it doesn't pretend to be. It has everything you could need at a good price for its location and is run and staffed by great people. We will be back -- can't wait.

Nice hotel with loverly staff in beautiful Myoko. What more do you want?

Totally recommend Hotel Myosen for your next stay in Myoko. Fantastic place to stay after a day out on the mountain. Nick and Susan are the best and will go out of their way to help in any possible way. Even finding your mobile phone after leaving it on the bullet train...for the second year running. Make this place your go to in Myoko!

Love this place

Susan and Nick are amazing and super efficient. 
We were super warm and comfortable in a traditional Japanese hotel environment but with all employees speaking English and really helpful.
The hotel is in a super central location and the breakfast and restaurant food are delicious. 
Thoroughly recommend!

AMAZING AND SUPER EASY HOLIDAY ACCOM!

Good Location, No attached bathroom and shower has to be done in public onsen, Shower facilities has no partitions/individual cubicles. Travellers who are comfortable with that please take note. No lifts

Good Location, No attached bathroom, No lifts

Rude staff. Cleanliness was disgraceful. Rubbish laying around everywhere for the whole stay. Never going back to Myoko because of this hotel.

Poorly run. Close to the ski lift

Nice big rooms and only a short walk to the ski lifts, restaurants and bars.It was cool to experience the traditional onsens - felt amazing after a day on the slopes. We loved the option of being able to book a private onsen.Our taxi was running late to take us to the train station - Susan was very accommodating and personally drove us there!

Ski-in-ski-out, traditional Bed n Breakfast

Excellent location in the centre of the village and just a few minutes stroll to the chair lifts. Nick and Susan are amazing hosts who will make you feel welcome and help to make your stay enjoyable. The buffet breakfast is hearty and plentiful and wifi keeps the modern world close to hand, ideal if you have children. The accomodation is basic without the cosiness of a warm lounge, so prepare to rug up, but more than compensated by the  Onsen which can be privately booked. Overall, ideal for snow fiends who just need a bed to recover between heavy powder days.
