10/10 Exceptional

Huge thanks to the team at Phat Packets for welcoming us and making our stay so great. Had the best time!

10/10 Exceptional

All great, Ill rate this eight out of eight, mate!

Friendly and helpful staff. Great rooms and beds. Showers on lower level which is actually more convenient than sharing one in your room with your ski buddy. Breakfast really good, much better than last time in Hakuba valley in similar lodge. Shuttle/taxi service free of charge. Amazing stay!
Per, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The shuttle service was awesome, unfortunately the service at restaurant was not. The rooms with private bathroom are too basic, i dont recommend to pay for it.
