Hotel Angel Grandia

Value for money, big room suit for family,

Japanese, family focused hotel in Yuzawa snow region. They offer both Western and traditional Japanese type rooms. We had buffet breakfast and dinner included and they provided a great choice of both Western and Japanese food. Staff very friendly and helpful. There was a free bus shuttle from the train to the hotel and also free bus shuttle to other snow resorts in the area. We skied at Gala and this was fabulous.

Great convenient location for Fuji Rock Festival because of shuttle bus with early and extended hours, beautiful area with many kids activities, convenience store, restaurants, and onsen among other features...

Great place to stay for first time skiers/snowboarders. Especially well-suited for families with children since the Nakazato Snow wood ski resort is right next to the hotel (literally right outside the hotel) with convenient access to rentals (also next to hotel). Intermediate skiers/boarders will find the course boring but the hotel has shuttles to nearby resorts and sell discounted lift tickets as well. The hotel accommodates a lot of large groups and so will feel noisy/crowded at peak season. But again, everything here is mostly geared for larger groups and families...which they do well.

Ski area is right in front of the hotel. It has 2 hot spring public bath areas. Check in 3pm and check out 10am. However you can enjoy the facilities outside these hours. As it has 300+ rooms the place can be quite chaotic. Also all instructions and directions information are in Japanese. Staff can only manage little spoken English. They have Chinese staff who can speak Mandarin and Japanese. Breakfast is mainly japanese cuisine. Room is huge can sleep 4 adults and has bulk bed for 2 kids. Tatami style so you have to setup mattress and blanket yourself. Separate toilet and shower rooms. Kitchen sink and cooker provided too.

Room was bare minimum, 1 table plus 4 seat cushions plus 5 sets tatami mattresses. Sufficient for my family of 4 (which includes my 11 & 12 yr old kids). Clean. Separate toilet and bath areas. Shower water pressure was weak. Breakfast was great, a good variety of food. Staff was pleasant. Great that they had hourly shuttle to echigo yuzawa train station, from there we took another bus to the mountains for snowboarding.

it's a very friendly hotel for kids/ family. room is spacey and clean. playground is just in the back door of hotel, very easy to access.

We stayed at the ski resort for 2 nights in March. Unfortunately the snow was nearly icy but the stay else was totally GREAT. 1. Convenient - 15min free shuttle bus from the Shinkansen Station 2. Easy Ski - full set rental ski/snowboard can be prepared beside the hotel/ski area 3. Good buffet meals - famous rice and seafood, tatsty waffle, home-roasted coffee, juicy steak slices, etc. 4. Relax Atmostphere - certified as family-friendly hotel. Many foreign families and never mind others. 5. Hotspring - can keep you warm Definitely recommned it for family-use!
