立山室堂山荘の口コミ・レビュー・評判

Whilst you don’t visit this hotel for its quality, you do come here for its outstanding setting in the Japanese Alps. On the positive side, it is located in an incredibly beautiful part of the Japanese Alps, and the biggest draw is the fact that day tourists will have left by the time it gets to dusk. This allows you to have a relatively private viewing of the ice wall which is amazing, and also to walk around the area which consists of a beautiful lake, volcanic gases emanating from a volcanic caldera, and the opportunity to see the Raichi bird (ptarmigan specie) unique to the area. The service was top class too, and a big mention must go to our waiter (Kono) who tried his hardest to speak English with us. Food was good as was breakfast, On the negative side, the hotel badly needs updating from the common parts, restaurants, bars, common areas, corridors, rooms and bathrooms. It was clean, but sparsley furnished and the chairs in our lounge were really uncomfortable. The bathroom was very dated, but functional. In short, view the hotel as a destination that is 100% worthwhile visiting, but accept that the hotel is somewhat dated
