A Great Overall Experience & Exceptional Location

04/01/2017
The Powderhounds have not yet stayed in this hotel however we have compiled an editor’s review and ratings based on trawling and summarizing dozens of reviews. We have however tested the bar, the restaurant and the private onsens which we can vouch for. Here is what the general consensus was:

People who stayed at Jon Nobi generally rated it fairly highly (however there were a couple of people that didn't have such a great experience - but it seemed like more if an overall bad experience with Nozawa Onsen and not just the hotel)
- The onsens are fantastic!
- Rooms were spacious by Japanese standards however they were said to be a bit dated yet generally well maintained
- Location is about as good as it gets in Nozawa. Right in the middle of the village and a 3 min walk to the moving walkway up to the lifts - The bar at Jon Nobi as a great communal hub and serves good tapas
- The restaurant gets a huge wrap and even if you don't stay here you should have at least one meal here
- There were mixed feelings about the level of service. Many people were happy with the service however a couple felt that the service was well below standard for the cost of this accommodation
- It appears that there is very little English spoken by staff in the hotel (however our experience was quite the opposite in the bar and the restaurant)
- Overall the value was good however some felt it was on the expensive side for the age of the property
