My partner and I had a nice stay at Powder Temple. Affordable accomodation that is walkable to popular areas of Hakuba and also has bus stations to town and ski resorts out the front. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful with check in/out, tips and tricks about the area and just up for a chat. The accommodation is currently still in maintenance in some areas of the building but still a great place to stay to experience all the Hakuba has to offer. Thanks for a wonderful stay Powder Temple!

Amazing staff and location, comfortable

It was an excellent stay. The staff and owner were super accomodating, couldnt have been nicer. Its super nice and comfy inside, with good facilities for drying gear and storing boards. The location being right next to the bus stop makes it one of the best locations in Hakuba. This is top choice accomodation if you want to snowboard in Hakuba.

Deceptive, dirty and dangerous. Avoid

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed in in Japan and a very disappointing stay. First, it looks nothing like the photos. It is undergoing a renovation that is half done and seems abandoned. Hazardous chemicals are stored in the hallways. (I have photos where a large container clearly marked as hazardous and flammable is being stored in the hallway). The high staircase out front has no guard rail and is unsafe. Parts of the floors are stripped and not finished. The interior staircase is stripped and unfinished. On top of that the hotel was not very clean. The bathrooms were not up to Japan standards. The ski storage room has trash about the floor. There was no soap in the bathroom and we had to request it. The staff was the only bright spot as they were kind and helpful. But otherwise this place is not safe and poor quality.

Renovations currently underway

Couldn’t speak more highly off the staff - made our stay really enjoyable and were super accomodating. Good location and reasonable value. But the current condition of the hotel is nothing like the photos. We were completely surprised to find the renovations currently underway in the hotel. Then the associated inconveniences like issues with heating, plumbing, electricity and the flooring. Both my friends slipped / cut their foot on the stairs that are currently unfinished. Overall, still a very reasonable option but expect some inconvenience without any notice from the owner.

This property was so convientiently located and comfortable to stay in. Thier contintental breakfast was above and beyond and i dont know how i am going to go back to reality without my daily crossiant. The beds were super comfy and had a bar that we could access whenever we wanted. The Valley snow buses stop right out the front so we didnt have to walk too far in our snowboarding gear. Jake, the owner, was super helpful and friendly. We have already booked in for 23/24 season.

Right at bus stop for several local slopes

The lodgers about a 20 min walk to Ecoland, where all the eatery’s etc are. Although we were a little way from this, we were very happy with this location. The bus to the slopes in right outside, the stop is at this hotel, so fantastic, accommodation was good, we are a family of 4 and stayed in the apartment. Coming from Sydney we were slightly cold at first but the manager provided us with extra heating, so nil issues. Breakfast was basic, but enough and they made an effort most days with a little extra something ie pancake. There is dinner at the lodge for else there are places to eat that are close by. I would recommend this lodge to anyone and I would stay again. There is a 7/11 close by too

Great Stay

Powder temple was the perfect vibe , location was awesome with bus stop right out the front, however was a 10-15min walk to get to bars etc. Service was awesome and overall a great place to stay Only negative was that breakfast was pretty average just bread and condiments or cereal and yogurt, don't expect a hot breakky.

Nice hotel cheap price friendly staff

The host of the hotel is very friendly and welcoming. He picked me from the train station. and upgraded me to a room with on suite bath room. The room is on the small side but is very standard in Japan. The price is very cheap and bus stop is nearby.

割り切れる人でないと厳しいかも…

はっきり言って、好みで別れると思います。 宿のスタッフは皆外国人で、当然のごとく英語でしか話しかけてきません。他の客もみんな外国人です。外国人のための宿という感じです。 設備の快適さはあまり期待できません。シャワーしかないため、私は風呂は近くの温泉を利用していました。食事も外国的な質素なもので、日本の宿に慣れた人が満足できるようなものではありません。他で食べることになるでしょう。部屋ですが、私は男性１人での宿泊で、他の客との5名共同部屋でした。 　利点はやはり安さでしょうか。長期滞在者には大変助かります。私の下のベッドを利用していたのは、台湾から来た男性で8日間の滞在者でした。 　あまり快適ではない施設でも、食事が質素でも、周りがみんな外国人でもよければ 私は利用価値が高い宿だと思います。 スタッフもアットホームで、客に対しても、「お客様」扱いはしません。 「日本の宿」を求める人には厳しいかも… ちなみに私はこれからも利用したいと思っています。

オージー御用達の宿。 ドミトリータイプのスキーヤーズベットの部屋を利用。(相部屋という事です) 2700円/泊でセルフのコンチネンタルながら朝食がつくので助かる。セブンイレブンが250mのところにあるので、卵やチキン、サラダ等を加えれば充分。 各スキー場への有料無料のシャトルバスのバス停が目の前で便利。 スタッフは若いオージー(イギリスの人も1人いた)が中心で感じがいい。 灯油ヒーターの残油量は毎朝自分でチェック要。スタッフに言えばすぐ入れてくれる。乾燥室のも同様。 シャワーは熱い湯がたっぷり出る。風呂はあるが、タイルが剥がれていて使ってみる気にはなれなかった。シャトルバスはナイト便もあるので、温泉に行けば問題なし。 ウォシュレットや便座ウォーマーは無し。 リビングは暖かく居心地がいい。 宅急便は宿には送れたが、発送の取り扱いは無し。自分で呼ぶか、セブンイレブンに持っていく必要。 ランドリーサービスは一回1000円。使わなかったけど。洗濯機は無し。 自分にとっては全然ありの宿。年始でどこもいっぱいだったとこと、たまたま空いていたので一も二もなくとった宿だったが、思いのほか使える宿だと思った。空いてれば再利用あり。

スキーを満喫する人には好立地のホテル

1泊3000円台で個室に泊まれるのは、白馬でスキーを満喫したい者にとっては大変魅力的。私は1名で利用したが、広い部屋にダブルベッドがあるので2名で泊まればさらに経済的。駐車場もタダ。滞在中は気兼ねなくのんびり寛げた。7時から食べられる朝食もあるので朝イチにゲレンデ目指すのも問題なし。バスタオルも用意されており、私は外の日帰り温泉を利用して楽しんだ。ただし、基本的にはオージー御用達の宿。私の滞在中、日本人は私ひとりだった。なので、英語を話さなければ困るというほどではないが、日本的なサービスや雰囲気を期待している人にはちょっと違うかも。その点が気にならないのであれば利用価値の高い宿だと思う。
