Always Niseko, Kutchan

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious and clean, were a bit tight on space, and the location, albeit excellent, required some waiting time for shuttle services. The service was friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall stay. However, dining options were enticing with a mix of western and Japanese food.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were small but clean and comfortable, with some leftover items from previous guests. The staff was helpful and attentive during my stay, although there were slight delays in refilling requests. The hotel's location was convenient for us as we had a car, but relying on the shuttle could be a hassle. The dining options had a good selection but lacked in restocking and seating at times. The facilities were decent, but some areas like parking could use improvement.

I found the hotel to be a decent choice. The rooms were spacious enough but bare-bones and the hotel was already feeling crowded at the beginning of the season. The service was top-notch, though a struggle at times with luggage. The location was convenient, near the Hirafu area and a short drive from the ski resort, but not ideal for walking due to the uphill slope. The dining experience had its moments of goodness but lacked variety and quantity at times.

The hotel offers spacious rooms by Japanese standards, but occasional cooking smells from the kitchen in the evenings can be bothersome. Arriving early or late is recommended to avoid peak hours and table availability issues. Despite this, the rooms were quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay.
