"Pleasant stay, excellent dinner!"

"Run down room Kaiseki is not impressed as expected Breakfast is perfect I wouldn't go back VIP Access perk is not full valued"

"If you're looking for a more traditional stay with hot spring and Japanese style breakfast and dinner, Gorankan would be your choice. Staff are all very friendly and the location is like 3 mins walking distance to the cable car Station. Overall a very pleasant stay. Just be prepared the check-in time is strictly 3pm. Before that you can't find anyone at the reception. We had to carry our bags through some steps crossing the tunnel twice as the door was closed and no one was there at the reception. "

"Looking back, we wished we would have stayed a bit longer as it was so relaxing in the middle of a crazy trip. We stayed two nights and could have done more. One night in a place like this isn't enough as you don't have time to enjoy the property. Easy location from the station and walkable- but there is a hill! We loved the great location and we got a big room with a patio with a tub- it looked towards the mountains and although on the third floor, they make sure that the rooms are private- we didn't hear anyone else use their patio. There are slim pickings in this area for dinner and typically fill up, so even though we were out and about, we wished we would have booked the dinner ahead of time as they were booked and unable to get us in once we arrived. They were a bit stand offish as we arrived ahead of check-in time, and didn't really feel welcome to sit in the lobby, but it was pouring rain when we got there and were soaked so it was a bit hectic. They spoke great english to help us that don't know the language so that is always a very helpful amenity. The breakfast was huge with a lot of food, and we loved being able to use the robes around the property. "

"I think the hotel was not as good as we expected. We arrived tired -after a wedding in Tokyo - and the check in staff grill you with so many questions “what time for dinner” (but there are limited options so you don’t have much choice), “what time for breakfast tomorrow”, same thing for the following days … they even asked “what time do you want housekeeping tomorrow?”! And then they said they had a spa - I said I’d like a massage and they said they were all booked for our dates! But no one had communicated with me in advance to offer massage services so I could book. Also the dinner both nights repeated “Main Meal 1” (their term) -despite the affectation of being so custom. Finally as we checked out we found someone’s socks in the drawer behind the safe deposit box! "

"The stay was lovely Exceeded our expectations Snack time and alcohol time was a wonderful surprise"

"Breakfast and dinner was amazing! Staff were so nice and courteous. Our room was spacious and so clean and serene "

"A fantastic stay overall at Gora Kadan. Our room was impeccable with a lovely balcony that featured a small Japanese garden. The room assistant was attentive and helpful. The kaiseki meals were presented in lovely dishes with sophisticated design, were tasty and quite elaborate, each meal was truly a feast for the eyes and taste buds. Each meal was a true feast for the senses and the taste buds. The onsen was just the perfect size. We are already planning our next trip to Gora Kadan with more family members. There is so much to do in Gora and beyond, especially around lake Ashinoko. "

"Included breakfast selection is limited but quite good ... lineup and waiting period for unreservable breakfast was disappointing. Dinner dining times are too short ... but dinner choices are decent."
