It is indeed a very good experience as it is very near to the station, around 5min walk. You jus have to pass by the Tourist INformation centre and you will reach reach the hotel. Hence it is convenient for us as we have booked the one day tour for Biei Blue Pond Trip so we do not have to travel so far as Biei is a small town hence normal transport is a bit inaccessible, thus it is advisable to book this hotel. The room is big, and accomodate another bed, as we have 3 pax sharing. The receptionist is nice and allowed us to deposit our bags first, soon after that, he already helped us placed them in the respective room when we checked in. Since we have 3 pax, all the toiletries are in 3, it is really very nice and considerate of them. Also the breakfast spread is good, mini buffet style, though varieties cannot be compared to the big and luxurious hotels, but the food are nice, got porridge, rice, bread, miso soup, tamago, turnips, very delicious especially with such a cold weather, a nice warm porridge beats all food. For those interested, do book early, as the hotel is only have 2nd storey for accomodation, so grab it fast!
