Choose wisely, stay somewhere else ;-)
This is claimed to be ski-in/ski-out, it is not! More like walk far ski less... There are plenty lodges / hotels / inns that are nicer and have much more to offer which are much closer to the lifts... yes, this location is closest to the slopes by sight and air distance, but unless you have the means to jump 50 meters with a height to clear a gondola, you're better off choosing different accommodation ;-) They also claim full continental breakfast...That must be the joke of this century! They serve you a depressing, ill-tasting hospital like experience in form of a bento box - EVERY morning! So, unless you're suicidal please bring your own food... We had a room sleeping 8 - it was a room with two beds and 6 horrible mattresses... not ideal skiing with back issues every morning. The only thing they really know how to do at Hotel Bonfire is overcharge... Stay somewhere else. For the love of god, stay somewhere else!

Well located in Happoone
Staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location. Our room was clean but small. Even though the hotel is next to the gondola you have to negotiate a steep driveway by foot which can be tricky at the top and bottom. It is about 100 metres walk from the godola. Our room was on the 5th floor. Elevator only goes to fourth floor. The room had a small high window so we could not see anything outside. There were no chairs, no kettle or cups and no fridge in the room. There was a communal kettle and microwave in the hallway on the next floor down. Breakfast was a toasted egg sandwich and cold sweetcorn soup (I think).

Solid hotel for skiers
Right next to gondola but you’ll have to walk a bit to ski - long steep driveway, street, then resort- 100m or so. Traditional Japanese style room with basically no furniture- sleep on floor mats. Great features include: good daily breakfast with a great view, comfortable common area with massage chairs, big bath (onsens) is very nice and hot, and very convenient ski gear storage. Thanks to Lee and staff for a great stay!

Basic and convenient
Lee and his team are very helpful, but be aware that some rooms only have Japanese style futon beds, not ideal after a full day of skiing. Massage chairs are great. Note that although this hotel sits next to the gondola, you still have to walk around 200m around buildings to board it, so it is NOT ski-out, ski-in.

Excellent Hotel, Fantastic Staff and Close to the

Traditional and Convienent
This hotel is in the traditional Japanese style. If you're not used to that style, it will take some getting used to. Great location and easy to get to the gondola.

Great Management and Great Location for Snow Trips
Really enjoyed our stay at Bonfire. The owners who have recently taken over were super friendly and very accommodating. Free massage chairs and onsen were great. Short stroll to Happo One gondola. Hakuba 47 /Goryu shuttle leaves from out front and only a few minutes walk to Happo Bus Terminal for access to all of the other snowfields.

館内や部屋は清潔で暖かく快適です。 タオルも毎日替えていただけました。 部屋に冷蔵庫が無いのが残念。 外国人が多いため夜ご飯が付いてない宿が増えたのか、周りの店は予約しないと入れない程でした。一番残念だったのは大浴場が8時半で終わる事です。夜食食べて帰って来たらもう終わってます。外国人はいいかもですが、日本人はガッカリです。せめて10時くらいは開いてて欲しいです。いいお風呂だから余計に惜しい! 朝ご飯は2日間同じメニュー。7割外国人だと聞いたので誰も文句ないのか、せめて2パターンくらいはあったほうがいいかな、二泊するとちょいツライです。 安かったから、しょうがない、泊まるだけならいい宿です。

ホテルは土足厳禁ですが、非常にきれいでお風呂も大きくて非常に快適。八方尾根はスキーヤーの聖地なんでボーダーが行くのはおすすめしませんが、このホテルは本当におすすめ。駐車場もずっと水が出てて凍結などの心配もなし。部屋もきれいで広い。すばらしかった。

如果你只在乎地點這是個好選擇,但其他的都不及格
優點: 地點算是方便, 有提供"接"的服務, 整體算乾淨 缺點: 1)人力不足, check out居然沒有送到車站的服務,僅協助叫車 2) 房間備品只有洗髮精沐浴乳吹風機毛巾熱水壺,沒了!!連水杯都沒有 3)早餐就是加熱便當 4)溫泉只開放4點到8點,對於日式旅館是很少見的,滑雪很需要泡湯,這讓我們很不滿意 整體而言就只是提供住的地方沒有任何服務,以這樣的房價來比,我相信有更好的選擇 If you only look for a hotel to stay, Bonfire can meet your expectation but nothing more. They even not provide tea cups in room. Breakfast is just a lunch box. They do pick you up to hotel but no more. We have a take taxi when check out. Public bath area is good but only open from 4pm to 8pm which is rare in Japan.

異国の地
ゴンドラからも近く、部屋もきれいでした。 本当に外国人の方が多く、ロビーや廊下ですれ違う人は外国人。朝食で同じ時間に食べた日本人は他に1組でした。だからといって特に困ることはなかったですが…。 チェックインの朝から車を停めることができました。チェックアウトレット後はプラス500円でそのまま停めさせてもらえて、助かりました。
