Location: A short walk to Echoland where the eateries, convenience store and ski shuttle pick ups are. Tsugaike and Happo One shuttle pick up is less than 10 mins walk, Iimori/Goryu/Hakuba47 shuttle pick up is right outside the Inn. Size: The family room has 2 separate bedrooms with an ensuite and is quite large for Japan standard. Cleanliness: Very clean. Staff: Chika was very helpful and friendly. She picked us up and dropped us off from and to the Hakuba train station. Ski passes: Getting passes for Happo One and Iimori/Goryu/Hakuba47 resorts from the Inn is cheaper. Amenities: Laundry is available for small change, hot tubs and drying room. We couldn't get any restaurant reservations, so the kitchen was very useful when we had to heat/cook stuff from the convenience store. Overall: It's a cozy inn with sufficient amenities that you need after a long day on the slopes.

Bathroom size: Very tiny and there were issues getting hot water in our bathroom for hot showers when it's shower peak time at the inn. The communal shower doesn't seem to have that issue though. Soundproofing: The inn has a quiet policy from 10pm onwards, however your peace & quiet time still depend on the other guests. We can hear people walking and talking clearly, as the communal sinks are located right outside our room. I had to tell some guests to keep their noise down when they were still talking and laughing loudly close to midnight. Inn Restaurant: A little pricey for the portion size.

I could go on about what I liked during my stay, but I gotta say—the coziness of the upstairs is unbeatable. Access to a large, clean kitchen, a huge living room, and a massage chair that was essential for post-ski relaxation. The location is prime—you’re one street away from Echo Land, surrounded by great restaurants, and perfectly situated for shuttle rides to Happo One and 47. We’re beyond happy with our stay here! Major shoutout to Chika, an awesome host. She picked us up at the bus stop when we arrived and couldn’t have been more kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place without a doubt!

A wonderful hostess; so helpful to we foreigners with no language skills. Very quiet location but only a few .minutes walk to the main street of Echoland, for eateries, if you want a change from the hotels excellent udons. All was there that was necessary for our week of skiing and it is well located for buses to the various centres. A nice building, all timber and well heated.

Broccoli on the 'English' breakfast was a cultural faux-pas. As with all Japanese hotels, toilet paper so diaphanous that you have to peel.offtwo metres to get a decent pad.

Great spot to stay in Hakuba! Very central location, cosy, comfy rooms and super helpful staff. We loved that there was a small kitchenette to heat up meals or have breakfast. Chika (manager) was amazing! Very helpful and offered suggestions and advice about transport and dining options. The in house restaurant is also great.

Communal bathrooms were cold and not cleaned regularly enough. But everything else was great!

Excellent location, short walk to all shuttle stops and echoland for dining and nightlife. Also offered free shuttle pick up. The breakfast and dinner options were superb. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the owners were very helpful and knowledgeable with everything, including responding to enquiries before our arrival. It definitely showed they had a love for the area and were very willing to share the experience.

The shared areas seemed a little cramped when it became busy, and the beds weren't the comfiest. Couldn't say we really noticed either that much with how much we enjoyed it here

Hotel Meteor feels very cosy and homely, with a lovely laid back and welcoming vibe. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of recommendations for Hakuba and the various ski resorts. The on site restaurant serves delicious food and is very convenient. The location is great - within walking distance to plenty of cafes/bars/restaurants. Basic but functional cooking facilities.

Property was a fantastic location with great clean facilities. We stayed as a group of 6 for a ski trip and the room was very comfortable, clean and warm. Chika was fantastic. She helped us with everything from restaurant bookings, to shuttle services, to transport to our next location. Incredibly friendly. Would recommend anybody to stay here for their ski holiday! Great value.

Great location for skiers! The hotel is located between the two biggest ski resorts in the area, Happo-One and Hakuba 47/Goryu, which can be easily accessed via free public shuttles. Further, Happo-One is a 25-minute walk from the hotel. The room was spacious, cozy and clean. We enjoyed breakfast (they serve a Western-style one) and it was nice to have the shuttle service which picked us up and brought us back to the station.

We only had dinner at their restaurant on the first night and we did not particularly enjoy it. The choice is limited, since they serve only udon and a few Japanese side dishes, like edamame and fries. The udon were too bland for our taste. Further, we were not warned that they would not serve breakfast on Thursday.

Great lodge close to bus shuttle stops and Jah Jah convenience store. Restaurant attached with very tasty food. Laundry, ski drying room, and even a private (1 person) onsen on-site. Chika and the rest of the staff are excellent (and can speak English). They will also help you out with discounted lift passes.

We just had the best stay ever. Nowhere in Japan we found friendlier people which are not just polite but just so so nice. The Pension is decorated with a lot of love from Chika in a surfing/ happy hippie style. The common area is really cosy. All of the artwork is made by locals and her friends. The breakfast was just perfect and they helped us with everything needed. Chika even drove us to the local onsen when it was raining heavily.

Nothing! The furniture in the room is not the youngest, but it doesn’t change the great sleep or anything :)
