Devin

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room smelt horrible upon our arrival. There were no other rooms available due to the busy ski season. The staff used fans and febreze to try to remedy the situation while we waited in the lobby for a few hours for the room to air out. By the time we were heading to bed the room had aired out a bit but the smell still lingered so we had to sleep with the window open in 25 degree weather. The next day we skied and when we came back around 5 PM the smell was still lingering. We couldn’t bear to spend another night with the smell and they didn’t have another room for us so we had to find accommodation elsewhere. We asked for the second night to be refunded and have still not received any update from the hotel staff. I would give it 0 stars if possible. We paid close to $500 per night to stay in a smelly room and the management did nothing to help remedy the situation.

I booked a stay here very last minute. For the price tag I was very underwhelmed, the carpet in the room has seen far better days and the bathroom was nothing more than the bare essentials. Everything was very outdated. This is the only hotel I have seen in Japan that didn’t have a bidet in the bathroom. The rooms are decently sized but a large amount of space is taken up by a weird array of furniture that isn’t super usable because of how much space they take up(ie the table in front of the couch that has to be moved outwards to use the couch comfortably, which then blocks the entrance and desk) The staff were very friendly and helpful though!

A good place for direct access to Hakuba

The Shakespeare is ideally situated for hitting the slopes and enjoying the local restaurants. Access to the buses at Hakuba base camp is a 1 minute walk across the street. There are a number of good restaurants nearby, but you should reserve early to get a seat. The Shakespeare can help, and they offer good recommendations on the area. We stayed in the annex building. The carpet in our room was stained and covered with a rug in one spot. There are a lot of early 20s tourists who come to party and hit the slopes, so I suspect the rooms get a lot of damage from this (drinking and snow gear). The beds were clean and comfortable and the heating was good. The included breakfast was good, it's provided by a couple who own a restaurant in the compound. They were really nice. They work pretty hard when there are a lot of guests eating, so it's best to come early or wait till the rush is over. The Shakespeare a good choice if you want easy access to Hakuba's main attractions.

Awesome location, situated very close to the Hakuba Base Camp stop and in the middle of most restaurants. Bed was slightly uncomfortable, I think mainly because the mattress hung over the bed frame... Didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, can't comment there. Staff was super friendly, super helpful. Rooms were clean and big enough. Enjoyed the stay and would return!

Shakespeare Hakuba

Great stay. The front desk had quick communication by email, spoke excellent English, and the shuttle service was excellent, even giving us a lift to the Onsen halfway through our stay. The location was as central as you can get in Echoland, right in the heart of the action and across the road from Hakuba Base Camp bus terminal. That being said, there is a bar out the front which was never an issue until Saturday night when there was a little bit of noise. The room was a decent size by Japanese standards, typical small basic bathroom but everything was clean. The bed was two singles or king singles pushed together, and we could feel the join in the middle. We had a mountain view room and the view to the mountains was beautiful. The building itself is very nice in an old English thatched roof style, and has food, massage and yoga facilities onsite, along with a well setup drying room. Side note about the area: Echoland has no ATM, the closest is in Happo about 15 minutes walk away. This is also where the closest slopes are, or short bus ride or taxi away. There are lots of places to eat but reservations are recommended.
