Adam williams 1 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi guys looking for some help again. Been looking at pics of some of you guys at Madarao and decided that I wanna get a couple of days there at the end of feb. I've been checking out some packages and the hotel list they have given me looks something like this. 1) Madarao HIllside Hotel 2) Hotel Silk Inn Madarao 3) Madarao Lumbers Inn 4) Lainston Hotel 5) Madam Mirei 6) Hotel Sympathigue Madarao Do you guys have experience of any of these hotels? Price wise there is little difference so any information from people in the know would be great. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 15, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 15, 2013 I don't know about those. Please also consider the ones on our site - ones that are actively welcoming foreign guests and at the same time helping support us: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/nagano-madarao-kogen-accommodation.php Thanks 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sympathique hotel is a little bit away from the slopes so I wouldn't stay there. The main hotel is right at the slopes that is ski in-lift out.......if its the same price then I'd stay there Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Symapthique looks horrid and run down. And the skijo it owns next to it closed. The whole Sympathique place is bankrupt, I'm surprised it is still operating. Must be the banks running it. The main Madarao Kogen Hotel does look good, is owned by the skijo, right next to the skijo, and on the sj list. Sounds good to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam williams 1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well that's one to knock off the list then. I've had a good look at the hotels listed on SJ but working out the prices individually seems to be coming up a lot more expensive. I guess you get what you pay for but Any English sites you recommend offering package deals that you know off? the best site I found is offering the hotels I listed Including board rental ski pass Shinkansen breakfast etc Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 16, 2013 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sorry, but asking for 'recommending English sites' is not something that we are cool with. Hope can find something that is good for you. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Pick of the bunch is one featured on Snow Japan Accomodation pages I can personaly reccomend Madarao Kogen Hotel for location, amenities, friendlyness and the best onsen. Not sure how the price compares with others , but you get what you pay for. Stayed there last year and will be back there next week. Link to post Share on other sites

CnnmnSchnpps 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Also consider the hotel at the base of Tangram. A quick pair lift up into the ungroomed tree run in Madarao. Stayed there a few times, was decent Link to post Share on other sites
