Meteor Garden in Hakuba

its nice place reasonable plice

This youth hostel is run by *********. The atmosphere is very good, but the service staff told me the wrong direction to Hakuba Jr Bus Station, which made me wait for 35 more minutes in the heavy snow.

If you are looking for an easy access to the mountains at a good price it is the place to go. The room was very clean and the mattress very comfortable. We had a room w/out bathrooms so we used the common bathroom and it was very clean and organized, they provided you with towels, shampoo, conditioners and soap like any hotel bathroom would. They also have a laundry room where soap and dry sheets are available to be used for free. The only down size for me was the internet in my room was on and off making very difficult to use it. The room did not have a small lamp you either have the full light of the room on or you stay in the dark. We did not use the parking area but I would believe is free. The shuttle for the mountains stops in front of the hotel or a few builds up depending where you are going.

Convenient location! Was easy enough to get around!

Meteor Garden is located conveniently 5-7min drive from main Hakuba Village. One thing to note is that the main cafe in the stay is not open so need to find other dining alternatives. Rooms and amenities are clean and well maintained, the one issue is that it’s not well marked on Google map as it keeps pointing to the restaurant which was not opened and gave us a false alarm. Wifi is not the fastest and does not handle multiple devices that well especially when you are trying to work. There was some confusion when booked via Trip as the contact information was somehow truncated so hotel was unable to contact me without going through Trip thus messages were delayed. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and everyone had a great time…

friendly.
All self-service.
If only there could be a shower room on each floor👍

The bed was comfortable, the whole place was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. The bus stop to the snow resorts was right outside which was so handy. And having 7-11 nearby was handy. I was able to cook in the shared kitchen which I was happy to be able to do.

We had an outstanding experience at this hotel, special thanks to the incredibly helpful and attentive Natalie.. From the moment we arrived, the genuine warmth and eagerness to assist made our stay truly memorable. Whether it was offering local insights, promptly addressing requests, or going the extra mile to ensure comfort, her exceptional service exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly commend the dedication, making this hotel a standout choice for anyone seeking a delightful and stress-free stay.
Thank you so much
