Reviews of Rantanrirun ランタンリルン 1 stars

Lovely owners/family who were incredibly kind and generous, offering us lifts several times. Lift passes can be purchased at the property for a discounted price. The property is located about a 10-15 minute walk from Escal Plaza, which can feel a little long in boots, but it’s really not too bad. There is a shuttle in the morning and at the end of the day to get to/from Escal Plaza, but you’ll need to walk if your plans don’t align with the shuttle time.

Great location and excellent staff, felt like being with family. The restaurant was great.

Really cozy with a great shared space and lovely staff.

Lovely family owners, older style property, warm, comfortable and clean, nice hot private bath.

Really really accommodating staff - super friendly and went above and beyond to help us. Good location, hotel clean.

Not a lot. Slightly dated decor but perfectly functional and clean. Location is good - Slight walk up to lifts holding skis etc but not too bad if wearing soft shoes.

It’s very quaint and authentic, good size rooms, great breakfast and very friendly helpful staff. Great bath for relaxing after a hard day skiing. Both restaurants on site serve fantastic traditional food at a reasonable price for the area.

The toilets are a bit small for 6’3” people. Heating in the room occasionally shut down making it a little chilly in the morning.

The people who own and run the property are so kind and thoughtful, they drew us our train schedule to Osaka and offered and dropped us off at Hakuba St. The loveliest people, the accomadation is warm cosy and perfect for our first time in Hakuba and even has a restaurant in the hotel serving the most delish food. Can’t be more grateful or recommend this place enough a real highlight of our Japan trip

The positive side of the experience is the hosts, who were very friendly and helpful.

Hmm, quite an interesting accommodation, I would say. The building is old and the facilities outdated. There is a smell of mould in the rooms. The bathroom is not properly ventilated, and slightly turning on the hot water already creates a lot of humidity. The blanket keeps you warm at night rather than the heater. You don't have that many amenities in the room. Moreover, there is no dryer, so be careful with washing clothes there.

Great staff, very accommodating. Felt like you were invited into a family home.

Everything is so nice. It’s feels like I stayed in warm house with warm welcome. The owner is very kind.

Prefect location, great staff, great lodge

The only thing I would complain about would be lack of storage in the room but it wasn’t an issue at all

The property amenities are what you expect for the price, also lack of a private ensuite was tough. HOWEVER, the staff were exceptional in particular the beautiful receptionist lady who went above and beyond with her service and efforts to make it feel like home and for that reason I RATE THIS 11/10

The host is considerable and so helpful. She helped us to get back our phone from the restaurant.

Nothing

Very cosy!

A little old.

Japanese style pension with good food options and comfy beds.I was travelling alone and found the staff helpful and friendly.

The owners of the building were very kind and helpful, the rooms were well accommodated and the bathrooms in the rooms are good. We ate in the restaurant for dinner 3 nights in a row which was exceptional. Location is brilliant being only 10 minutes walk to the Goryu lift and ski hire shops.

The usual noise and partying from other guests as we stayed during ski season.

Close to ski field, a large rambling property, cosy and homely fittings, several lounges to sit in. Friendly and welcoming owner and her family made it a lovely stay. Excellent restaurant on site - recommend both breakfast and evening meals.

A little dated.
