Terrible sales, not customer oriented
Don't stay here. This place is dishonest and too much sales-focused. I have been traveling to Japan over 30 times across different prefecture, for both business and vacation, and this is the weirdest hotel I've ever stayed. #1. Trying to double charge for the breakfast, which I already paid. When we checked in, they informed us that breakfast is not included from their system. I showed them my booking with Hotels.com which clearly indicates breakfast buffet. They agreed that I booked it but because they cannot see it from their system, they insisted we have to pay it again. After 3 times appealing to their upper management, they fixed it. Tiring. #2. Gave us a blocked view room with no privacy, while we booked the mountain view. First night we realized that the room window is facing to other house, leaving us no privacy at all. Next morning I went to the reception telling them it seems we've got a wrong room. They agreed that it's not a mountain view, but all their mountain view rooms are taken so I have to pay extra to upgrade to the suite if I want a mountain view. Their solution from 2 occasions are, "paying more money to fix your problem". I'm not asking more. I just wanted what I booked and paid. Sharing my reservation details below, plus view from the window. ------- Room details Japanese Western Room, Mountain View Reserved for XXXX, 2 adults Included amenities Free Valet Parking Breakfast Buffet

They have a wonderful onsen with both indoor and outdoor options. It was especially beautiful this morning with snow covered trees. They have a lovely woman who does massages and who greeted me with a smile whenever our paths crossed. The hotel is right across from the train and bus station so getting around was very easy!

Incredibly atmospheric with beautiful scenery and gorgeous amenities. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the onsen were a real treat! The staff were courteous and helpful. The location is perfect, being just a few minutes walk from the echigo-Yuzuwa station which is easily accessible via shinkansen.

Helpful staff. Really close to train station, minutes away. We weren’t sure where the hotel was so we took a cab. He was surprised but drove us to the hotel, which took about one minute. Best Japanese breakfast buffet.

Unwelcoming, unfriendly hotel
We arrived at the hotel at 11am after an international flight - 4 hours before check in. We asked if we could pay a fee for early check in - and they quoted a fee equivalent to 2 x the nightly rate we paid. We declined. The hotel made us wait outside, saying we were not entitled to be in the hotel until 3pm. Sitting on the street we watched as party after party of local guests were allowed to check in early at no extra charge. This was the most unwelcoming hotel my wife and I have ever experienced, which was exacerbated by the fact no staff spoke English, Chinese, French or Spanish The wifi didn't work at any point during our stay and the hotel was either unwilling or unable to address the problem

The hotel is located up a 100 yard trek. It's not easy to do in snow and slush. Asides from that, it is very nice. There are lots of restaurants all around. The hotel staff was very friendly.

Convenient for ski trips
2min walk from Echigo-Yuzawa station. Free shuttle buses to the ski slopes (purple line). Has an in-house ski rental shop too. There are 2 lovely onsens within the hotel (separate male/female). We took the larger Western Room with Mountain view as recommended by other travellers, and it did not disappoint. The living room was huge, and the adjoining bedroom offered a gorgeous view of the mountain range (tip: request for a higher floor if possible). Only gripe was the pillows were a bit hard. Buffet breakfast was great, with a wide selection of food including pancakes. Will definitely stay here again for future ski trips!

Happy in Yuzawa Grand Hotel
The hotel exceeded my needs and expectations: The staff was excellent. They overall feeling I felt from the entire staff was that they were there to serve you...very refreshing. The hotel location was excellent. The train station and convenience store is right across the street. There are numerous independent restaurants within a short walk. The hotel breakfast buffet provided something for everyone, regardless if you're accustomed to their cultural foods or not. I recommend it. I did not partake in the dinner buffet.
