A burner and pot and pan would have been nice.

It was an old but great place to stay. I was told the rooms used to be smoking but it was fine. We enjoyed the very kind staff and that it was clean and in our budget. There was a fridge, microwave kettle and enough dishes for us. No you can't cook but we knew that going in. Really liked that it had a comfy couch!

Let's face it, she's pretty run down. And given there's no shopping within 5km, a few utensils in the kitchenette would be helpful for self-catering. Coffee sachets etc too might be a welcome touch. I bought some plastic plates/bowls from DCM to make breakfast! But really, no complaints.

More like a little flat than a hotel. Perfect if you just want to ski and have a car. It's a little isolated for those without one. Very roomy for Japan, with a huge spa bath, queen bed, couch, separate toilet - and a private garage underneath for the car, which is awesome for snowy Niseko!

Ingrained smoke smell in whole room. Toilet a bit rustic

Location, spacious, undercover parking

Smell of tobacco, but after all that's a typical japanese motel, so that can be expected.

Bed, duvet, bathroom

Room had odour from cigarette smoke and when booked for three people the Futon provided was thin. Because of the condition of the Futon, this room would be better listed solely as a two person room. If they provided a better mattress for a third it would be adequate.

Good value for money in an expensive area. Kettle provided and clean bathroom facilities including a jacuzzi tub. Room was spacious for two people and sufficient for three.

As previous reviews stated, rooms stink of smoke. Relatively clean room but I moved the beds and it appeared to have not been vacuumed in a very long time. Price was OK. You get what you pay for.

Location is good, not in Niseko but only a 9 minute drove from Grand Hirafu. Big room with a nice bath. Its a good spot if you’re staying for a while. Big fridge, a microwave and kettle. Private parking spot with each apartment which is nice. Would stay again.

The room smelled a little bit of cigarette smoke.

Great value for money in a good location if you have a car, or are happy to work around a fickle bus timetable. Staff were friendly, room was clean and spacious.

We didn’t know our room was a smoking room, it would have been nice to have a non-smoking room since we don’t like the smell/toxins. Make sure to book a non-smoking room is that important to you.

We enjoyed our stay here, staff were very helpful. The parking was great so we didn’t have to clean snow off the car. Room was spacious and clean. We booked this for a ski trip. We would recommend staying here.

The room could do with some up-dating. No twin rooms were available.

The room was spacious. If you had a car, the location is only 10-15 minutes from ski fields.

Cannot tell from the photos that it’s a love hotel. Driveway isnt being maintained and is full of snow so it was hard to walk from car with luggage to door.

Cheaper compared to other accomodations in Niseko

Great value but in the middle of nowhere. Cabs are about 3500 yen each way. HIRE A CAR and this is perfect. Even has its own garage.

Property was a little older and could hear the train at night. Not too bad, but noticeable.

Property was big and the covered parking was nice to have on snowy days.

Definitely needed a car to get here. It is a love hotel but only 1 other guest was here.

The room is big for the price.

I didn't realise when I booked that it was a love hotel. That's not a problem, but I would have liked to have known when I booked. Usually Booking.com does make that obvious, but not in this case. Buses are infrequent so I hitchhiked to and from the train station.

It was a short walking distance to get to the start of the hiking path up Mt Yotei. Management insisted on cash and as such I didn't have to pay Booking.com who said that the cheapest option was no longer available when I booked. However when I arrived the cheapest option was available and management was able to swap me to that room.

Very bad location. Need car rental.

Affordable.

The bus times to Niseko and back to Youraku are limited so just make sure you catch the bus when it's running. Otherwise a taxi ride will cost about 2800 yen from the Max Valu to Youraku.

This hotel is the best value within close range of Niseko. It's especially convenient if you have a car but you can still access Niseko from here by bus: take the Donar bus outside the hotel to the Max Valu stop and then hop on one of the free Niseko resort shuttle busses from there. This hotel is also accessible to Rusutsu via a direct Donar bus that picks up outside the hotel and drops right in front of the Rusutsu resort. It's advised to pick up food before you arrive at this hotel because there's nothing within walking distance. The rooms are big and include a fridge, microwave, pot for boiling water, and many amenities. There are private hot tub baths in the rooms for relaxation after a day of skiing. And there's a garage to park your vehicle if you drove there.

Nothing

Warm and clean room, location and big bath.

Only thing that I found that sucked was the bed was super hard.

Good bang for your buck. I asked for a no smoking room so that definitely made a difference! It was clean and the staff was great. Kinda cool it had a car port so you didn’t have to wipe of your car.

The toilet was dirty, we saw things on it we shouldn’t have. The room smelled of smoke. Shower temperature was boiling hot and couldn’t be adjusted, we had to use the water tap from the bath.

Spacious and nice staff
