Restaurant & Hotel Traumerei

The service from the staff is exceptional. They don’t speak fluent English but they will do everything they can to accommodate you. I can see snowfields from my room, making breakfast extra special with a relaxing view. They have drying room for skis that are accessible from the side of the hotel. The cherry on top was access to onsen - the best way to relax after a long day of skiing. There are shuttle busses that will take you directly to Iwatake, Happo, and Hakuba47/Goryu as well.

What could be improved: The bed can be softer but I slept through the night just fine during my stays!

Unforgettable Stay in Hakuba! From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely fantastic. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The daily morning breakfasts delivered to our room were truly a treat—delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect way to start each day before heading out to explore Hakuba. Without a doubt, this is the best spot to stay in Hakuba. The room was fantastic. I stay at about 20 hotels every year around the world and this is the first hotel I’ve stopped to write a review since the service was so fantastic. We stayed here for 4 days skiing around the local area. I would 100% recommend this place to family and friends!

What could be improved: Everything really was great.

Ski resorts shuttle bus stop is right outside the hotel.

What could be improved: It is a beautiful classic building with nice surroundings but it is a very old property. Carpet is faded and only provides one small flat feather pillow. Breakfast is expensive ¥2,000 with croissants 🥐 milk, and coffee served in the room. Private Onsen at basement is creepy.

Beautiful French themed chateau, looked like a fairytale on the outside. Conveniently located bus stop that takes you to all the major Hakuba resorts for snow activities. Biiiig bathroom and two lovely private onsens in the basement you can book for an hour each evening with the front desk. Staff were attentive and helpful with deliveries of our snow gear. There’s a heated equipment room in the basement also with quick access to the outside for getting ready in the morning. Pricey French restaurant on premises with a bar and breakfast service options that we did not partake in. Parking out front of the hotel.

What could be improved: Byzantine maze path of getting to the rooms by going up stairs then down again. Beds were super hard compared to other firm beds I’ve slept in Japan and the sheets were very rough texture. Also the WiFi was unfortunately terribly inconsistent the entire time we were there. Even if you had a strong signal, the quality of the connection was barely usable to do basic web browsing or text. Don’t count on it for video calls. Inconvenient to get to and from the Hakuba Bus Terminal without prebooking a taxi or waiting a very long time for the V2 bus you have to walk to in Echoland that’s busy taking skiers/snowboarders to the resorts because they don’t have a ride service.
