5 out 5 we loved this place, best value in Niseko for a relaxed lux holiday.

Beautifully renovated ski chalet. I had stayed before the renovations but now this place is next level. I would not stay anywhere else. It is perfect for a large group wanting a private chalet, the open plan living and kitchen area made sure we could easily socialise and be apart of it all. The free parking was great we had 3 cars which enabled us to discover all of the surrounding ski areas and places of interest. There is a bus stop 100 or so meters from the chalet which gives you access to Hirafu ,Annapurri and the onsens. We discovered a few restaurants in the area which had fab food. Beautiful area away from the crazy crowds of a Hirafu but yet close enough if you want to go and get amongst it all. 5 out of 5 we will be back

Only place to stay in niseko

Hostel hospitality at its finest. Friendly and accommodating staff. The hooting owl is the best bet for you and your time at niseko. Friendly atmosphere of skiers and riders all on a mission for Hokkaido powder. Rides to the hill, day trips, and apres activities all happily taken care of by staff. Their unique knowledge of the area, steered by the interests of these rad individuals, makes this the only place to stay in niseko!

Great place to stay in Niseko

This is a great hostel to stay at when riding Niskeo. The staff and other lodgers were super friendly. They provided breakfast and rides to the mountain in the morning. The beds were clean and comfortable. The living area can be lively at times, so best to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Niesko

Simply put this is the best shared accommodation/lodge I have stayed at. The staff and other guests were amazing and our time there really made our trip special. It felt like I was staying at a friend's place. You don't feel like just another guest, the staff really go above and beyond what you would expect from them.
The only down side was the weak WiFi signal in some areas of the lodge, it made calling home in my room difficult. But that is the only negative I have of the place, and it was only minor inconvenience.

Great hostel style lodging, great folks

This proved to be a great place to stay for skiing at Niseko. It's hostel style so you need to be okay with interacting with other skiers and travelers in the common areas. I met some great people along the way so that was a plus. The folks running the day to day were excellent. Picked us up at the Hilton from our bus ride upon arrival. Drove us to the mountain each morning. Cooked breakfast in the morning very promptly. Only potential draw back is the rooms are close to the common area so folks up late may be noisy. I popped in earplugs each night and was sound asleep. Place was clean and cozy.
