Breakfast was great! Free with your room and buffet style. The staff was helpful throughout the entire stay! Bonus - the hotel is partnered with Rhythm Sports for easy rental pickup and drop off for skis and snowboards.

Not the most modern or up-to-date place you can stay. Shower curtain constantly blew onto your body due to how flimsy it was. Each night we had to deal with a stinkbug in our room as well. Not ideal, but not a deal breaker.

my 3 teen daughters and I stayed at Powder Temple for the past 4 days and we had a really great time. The owner and hotel staff were Australians and went out of their way to make sure we had a really nice time, even dropping us to the ski lifts each morning. The hotel is 5 minutes in a taxi from the centre of Hakuba so we just took a taxi home each evening which was $15 with 4 people and 4 skis. there was a 7/11 5 minutes walk away and the hotel had a really cosy bar / lounge area where we chatted to other guests and the staff each evening. I’m so glad I stayed there with my girls we had such a relaxed and nice time! thank you again Jake and Callum.

nothing - it was better then I expected for the price we paid.

Even thought Powder Temple is in the process of renovation ( delayed from Covid), Jake and Callum showed over the top hospitality, offering to pick us up and drop off to get snow gear and transport. There was a good vibe. The snow shuttle is right out front and there are 7 eleven and two lovely local restaurants a short walk away. We most probably wouldn't have found these ( Haris and Garlic) without them sharing this local knowledge.

Due to renovations the heating was Kerosine based which took me back to my childhood.:). This place has so much potential and should be great when the renos have finished.

The owner, Jake, couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. Picked up and dropped up several times in our short stay. The lodge is in need of a few jobs done at the time of writing, but this is reflected in the pricing. It was one of the most reasonably priced lodges over the new year 2023, so if you’re looking for a cheap, clean room to sleep, friendly staff, good breakfast and easy access to the shuttle bus, you’ll be fine here! Looking forward to another stay!

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They were always helpful and gave us lots of good recommendations for ski resorts, food and bars. Staff created a very homely vibe.

Great staff on site! Kohi and Brandon really made the trip showing us the best powder runs in Hakuba.

Amazing location and friendly staff

Friendly staff and good location!

Staff were super friendly. Even gave us a lift to get rental gear and also to the bus terminal the next morning. Yummy breakfast every morning was a bonus! It was quiet in the bedrooms at night.

Bedroom didn’t feel like it had been vacuumed in a while

The Powder Temple was under renovations when we went. It wasn't too bothersome but should have been disclosed. Once those are done this will be a very cool spot!

Generally a kind of loud place to stay.
