2 star hotels in Niseko

Great place with great rooms with easy access to the slopes. The hot springs is a must and is extremely easy for foreigners to use. Would recommend for anyone wanting a cheap but pleasant stay in niseko.

This hotel was about a five-minute walk from the ski equipment rental shop and the ski resort. It also had a hot spring sauna, which was great!

The room is nice, there is a greenhouse to store ski equipment, hot springs to soak in, and it's a five-minute walk from the ski resort

The first time I went skiing in Hokkaido, I chose Niseko. We went there during the peak season and booked late. Niseko is a popular place, so it was hard to find a hotel that was actually available and reasonably priced. Many ski hotels with good value for money and close to the ski resorts were fully booked early, or they were luxury hotels that were several times more expensive. Finally, after looking...

We stayed in a Japanese-style room with bathroom, which was relatively new. The hotel is very close to the ski lift, on the cross street, which is very convenient for shopping at night. Hirafu Welcome Center is not far from the hotel, about 200 to 300 meters away. The room faces Mount Yotei. The public bath in the hotel has hot springs, which also face Mount Yotei. It is recommended to go there after...

I was very skeptical given that this is the “budget” option compared to the super expensive hotels and resorts in the area. Plus the pictures look pretty bad. But we booked last minute and it was either this or a 3x more expensive hotel. So we decided to give it a try and I’m so glad we did!! Overall the hotel is old and gives grandma vibes. But it’s Japanese old and everything is super well maintained...

Super Value for Money Excellent experience

Other than the shared toilets and showers, it was just like a regular hotel, and I had no problems. The facilities, including the common areas, were spotless and I had a comfortable stay. There were several restaurants nearby, so I had no trouble finding dinner. Breakfast is only served during the winter, and only bread and free drinks are available from the vending machine.

Very clean and tidy. I wasn't thrilled with the shared bathrooms prior, but it was fine. Only 5 rooms share them. Bed was of the soft foam variety, the only genuine letdown. Seriously uncomfortable. Other than that, it was fine.

The host was so kind and generous. We had arrived 1 day before our scheduled booking, by my mistake. The host offered to let us wait in the lobby for a taxi, and when he found that we could not get one as it was late at night, he offered to drive us to the nearest 7-eleven, in his personal vehicle, after hours. We were so grateful, and would highly recommend this hotel. We had a great experience. No...

What a great place to stay! Room was comfortable and cozy. Heating worked well. There is plenty of free parking. I was concerned about the shared bathroom, but it was kept very clean. Shower water pressure was awesome. They provide free toiletries. Breakfast was great. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating, literally every single one. There is laundry and dryer. I liked that it was away...

The staff checked me in was polite and nice. The property has lots of amenities and free coffee and pops. Only downside is that you can hear noises like walking, opening and closing doors and two morning staff were talking loud at 5am in the morning and I could hear them through the door.

The family who own and run this Pension are great hosts! We were made to feel very special and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The family that owns and runs this pension are fantastic. I’ve never experienced more considerate and generous host anywhere. Highly recommend

These are lovely people who are genuinely just nice people. They have run this pension for 40 years and its 3rd generation, all whom which still work their bar the Patriach Granfather whosed passed. The Matriach Grandma still works here at 92. Her daughter and husband run the place and do all the cleaning and cooking and daily chores along with their extremely helpful daughter. The pension is 200...

We stayed for one wonderful week, with 1 room for 3, and 1 double room for 1. Our hosts provided for everything, including delicious dinners, one a sushi dinner and the other a pork based dinner. Both were beautifully done and a great way to experience traditional Japanese food. As a bonus for skiiers the Inn was only about 200 yards from the Annupuri gondola and walking distance to a variety of...

Amazing place, the host family were really nice and made you feel very comfortable, it also close to the Annupuri ski area. Breakfast were included and it was delicious😊😊😊👍👍👍

This pension was a delightful find for our first trip to the Niseko ski area. It was about 200 yards from the Annupuri gondola and quad chair. Takeshi-san and Naoko-san were very gracious and helpful hosts. Breakfast (a variety, each day was different) was included and we arranged two dinners, one sushi based and the other pork based. Very enjoyable! They also have a selection of delicious homemade...

The main location is very close to the ski resort, which is an excellent choice at this price. The hotel sells ski tickets at a discount, cooperates with a ski equipment store (with pick-up and drop-off), and has Chinese-speaking staff, which makes communication very convenient. The overall service is also very good.

We stayed at Fryingpan for 5 nights and it was truly lovely. The shared bathrooms are very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Breakfast every morning was western style but delicious. A very short walk to the Annupurni gondola and lifts. Above all of the wonderful accommodations were the lovely people and staff we met while staying there. I cannot say enough good things about the hospitality...

The room is very unique. You must book a 4-person room, which is the kind of loft. There are ********* waiters who are very good at Chinese, English and Japanese👍. The boss is also very nice. It happened to be the peak season and there was a blizzard in Hokkaido, so all the buses to the airport were booked. The boss was very enthusiastic to help us check the bus to the airport, which was very nice...

When I booked, I was told that it was a public bathroom, so I didn't have much hope. But after entering the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised one after another. Three of the hotel's young ladies can speak Chinese, and we were able to communicate without any obstacles. First, I was shown around the hotel and learned about the public restrooms and toilets on the second floor, which were all very clean...

Great close to the chair lift

What a good time in a place it is a pleasure to return to every day after skiing. There are plenty of blankets and nice people to get to know. Not many bathtubs, but onsens are a short drive away. Walk a few dozen yards to Annupuri ski field and ski back.

Great location and great service.

The room is clean and spacious with full facilities and a good view. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. There is a washing machine and dishwasher. There is a locker for storing ski equipment on the ground floor. After playing, you don't have to carry it up to the room. It's great.

Wonderful ski in/ski out location. Lovely family accommodation with everything you need. Close to convenience store and restaurants. Sunday was extremely helpful and transported us to the local train station at the end of our stay. Gustav was very helpful via email but the resort was uncontactable on arrival to arrange hotel transfer from the bus drop-off (reception phone switched to after hours message...

Beautiful ski in ski out property. We loved the views of Mt Yotei from our huge 2 bedroom apartment. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and tended to our every need. Superb stay!

Everyone at Maples are friendly and helpful. Rendering their assistance from fetching us at Hirafu Welcome centre, Rhythm for our ski rental, sending us to dot base for ski class. Even to the restaurant nearby. Ski in ski out and snow play are just a stone away. Pizza restaurant there are fabulous too

The hotel is in a great location, very close to Hirafu Welcome Center. The staff will contact us by email in advance, and the pick-up is very convenient and on time! There is a locker for ski equipment on B1, which is a real skiin-out. B1 goes directly to the chairlift, and it only takes 5 minutes to walk to Ace Gondola! The pizza on the first floor is delicious and not expensive. You can walk directly...

Decent accomodation option, good price, and the breakfast was great. A little out of town but they have shuttles. The beds however were really small, smaller than a single bed..

For this price, the location is excellent; it's about a 10-minute walk to the village of Hirafu. It's very quiet. The breakfast is very Western-style. A shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes. There's no onsen (hot spring), but you can use the onsen at the sister hotel, Vale. A noticeable problem is the poor soundproofing. The walls are okay, but the doors aren't soundproof.

We went during summer, so there wasn’t much to do around (not saying that it’s a bad thing). Hotel was clean, but you have to drive to get to this hotel. Toilet was big and spacious. Air conditioning had some issues on the first day but it somehow was fixed by the second night. It shouldn’t be an issue for most people since people only come here during winter.

Very good only 8 minutes from Hirafu, with Shuttle Bus transfer. Overall good! But in the morning to take a shower to open the water earlier, maybe lately too cold, D water not so quickly hot. Customer service is very good. Breakfast is average. 4 star hotel

The room is small thought the hotel is quite new and modern. Live the breakfast, has many options. The location is a bit far but hotel provides shuttle service.

Enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean and modern, staff were very helpful, the restaurant was convenient, and they offered a free shuttle to the slopes every 20 minutes. Would recommend.

The location is fantastic, and it comes with breakfast and a hot spring. You can just ski right out of the hotel. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit old, but the price is great, offering excellent value for money. It's also very close to the supermarket.

Amazing experience, all the staff was so nice and helpful. They really made me and my friend feel at home for my birthday week. Private onsen in the room, used it twice a day for 4 days. Ski in ski out, ticket booth right next to hotel. Couldnt have asked for anything more. 5 stars niseko prince for the win! Arrigato!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

This is probably the cheapest ski-in/ski-out hotel in Niseko, and ski-in/ski-out is truly essential! Carrying ski boards uphill is just too tiring. Plus, there's a hot spring on the first floor of the hotel, which feels amazing.

The location is ideal, right in the center of town. However, getting to and from the slopes (ski-in/ski-out) requires navigating a very long and slippery staircase. The private hot spring in the room was a great perk.

This is the best choice for solo travelers looking for a quick in-and-out stay. Although it's been open for a while, the facilities and hot spring quality are still above the average for Japanese hotels. Do note that rooms are not cleaned daily, and the connecting staircase between the first floor and the family course is quite long, so please be careful.

great ski hotel and buffet breakfast lots of choices for different eggs for breakfast great onsen for apres ski

The staff service is excellent, and the outdoor onsen is beautiful and very enjoyable. The only downside is that during peak hours, there are a lot of external visitors, but if you avoid those times, it's incredibly relaxing. There are limited food options both inside and nearby, so it's advisable to come prepared for that. The room was lovely, and the futons were very comfortable.

Breakfast is good, many varieties. Good service

Clean and quiet hotel with attentive staff. Check-in was smooth, and the room was well maintained. Would happily stay here again.

the onsen was surprisingly good.

You have to make your own bed. You also have to use the public bath for showering. However, the breakfast was excellent. Overall, it's pretty good value for money.

Very clean rooms, outdoor onsen some organic matter but mostly ok. Though they tried to close breakfast early on us one morning. 3 people including myself didn't get the full breakfast buffet. Parking is about 10 spaces or so. I went in late March, away from peak season so was enough.

A very comfortable and clean apartment with amazing views and in a great location. The apartment had a well equipped kitchen, with plenty of space to relax with friends on our nights in. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and proximity to Yama Sports was very convenient. Would definitely stay again.

We had an excellent stay at Niseko Landmark View and would absolutely return. The location is outstanding, directly below the lift. Being able to walk out the door and onto the lift in minutes is a major advantage, especially in Niseko’s deep powder conditions. The apartments are modern, spacious, and very well maintained. Ours had floor-to-ceiling windows with beautiful views of Mt. Yotei, a fully...

Front desk was very helpful and there’s ski rental within the hotel so it’s very convenient. It’s also a few metres away from the gondola.

The staff were positive and friendly, and worked hard to help me solve the problem of connecting the TV to Apple TV. Their English was also very good. The downside was that there was no air conditioning in the room, but there were fans available, and the price was a bit high.

Amazing accommodation with great views and superb kind staff. Close to HIRAFU gondola. No question, we will stay here again :)

Well appointed property facing mt yotei. See sun rise daily. Very much value for money!

Amazing breakfast and clean rooms. Service was great.

I’m not sure who gives out the stars, but Miru Niseko needs at least one, if not two more. LOCATION is awesome. Feels secluded but so close to everything. 10 minute drive to Annupuri and 5 minutes to Hirafu. The shuttle made it extremely convenient and we’re also not the type to like being in the middle of bars and such, but close enough that we can dabble for a night. STAFF were fantastic. Is there...

I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are spacious and very modern; my room was filled with all the ammenities which I needed. The way the hotel is structured is very intriguing too; I won't say more - take it as an incentive to book yourself a room here! The staff are very friendly and helpful - it was great that they were willing to offer advice on activities I could participate in within a 'close...

Our family had a great stay. Very clean, modern and cozy rooms with friendly staff. We also loved the location, it's just a 5 minute drive to grand hirafu ski lifts and restaurants but feels so much more secluded with amazing views of the the mountain. Love to stay again.

Friendly staff, great views, good breakfast, and quiet yet convenient location.

Great accommodations, lovely onsen, helpful staff, beautiful views, a free shuttle service... What more can you want? The place is like a dream! I highly recommend checking in!

Right at the centre of Hirafu - you have to walk a bit upslope to the ski lifts. Check in is at another building / hotel so beware if you're not driving. The space is well equipped with a full kitchen and washing machine, as well as heaters. There is also a ski locker on the ground floorwhere you can pit your ski equipment. However we noticed a smell of fresh renovating works once we entered the...

Very satisfied with our stay in Kizuna. The kitchen allowed us to enjoy cooking local fresh produce. It’s nice to have the beautiful view of Mountain from the living room. The staff were also friendly. We’d love to come again for the next visit.

Great location, walkable to Hirafu lifts. Comfy beds and well appointed apartment. Ski lockers and parking were an added bonus.

Well equipment. Great Views, Bright. No bread knife.

Nice and clean. There’s 7-11 and few restaurants in walkable rage. Very satisfied, I’d consider visiting again next winter!

A little far from hirafu but overall setup is extremely good with friendly staff and decent buffet.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, and perfect logistics. The shuttle to the ski lift is super reliable. The rooms feel new. Breakfast offers a variety of food.

This was my first time visiting Niseko and staying at this hotel. The location is very convenient, close to ski areas, restaurants, and convenience stores. They also provide a free shuttle bus to take guests to their chosen ski destinations.

Everything was reasonably priced during the off-season. The shuttle bus stop is right outside the hotel, and there's a restaurant on-site. The front desk staff are foreigners, so communication in English was no problem. They also have a restaurant and a gym. Very satisfied with the budget!

The room comes with a drying rack for clothes. There's also a ski storage area downstairs. Breakfast buffet was included when booking, so no need to worry about what to eat in the morning. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven nearby if you want to grab some snacks.

Stayed for a week and really loved this hotel. I know someone complained about not getting a mountain view, we were in the cheapest rooms (studio) and were happy to have a little balcony over the street - we didn’t expect any view at all. Having a washing machine, drying racks, great kitchen and a drying room for skis etc downstairs was really convenient, and its steps from the family run and ACE family...

We've stayed here for the past couple years, in different units. Positives: - Hard to beat the location - NBS ski rental and school / kids club in same building - Spitting distance to the Ace Family lift - Easy to walk to Hirafu shops and restaurants Negatives: - Units have no character - very basic, bathrooms look like public bathrooms - Staff do the bare minimum to be helpful - Some units have...

This is our 6-7 Niseko trips in the last 8 years. This is definitely the best ski-in ski-out hotel in the Hirafu area! Hotel is just right beside the family lift! Imagine this, fill in the gear rental form the night before you ski day. After a nice breakfast in your room. Go down to the ground floor and pick up your gear from Ski Lockers or Hotel Gear Rental shop. Slip outside the door and you...

Very nice hotel. Easy access to the slope for skiers and snowboarders

Best for skiing or snowboarding, the lift is just right outside of the apartment

Everything is perfect, including large space, good equipment, nice decorating, and friendly people. (although without air conditioner, the temperature in summer night is still acceptible.) Price is reasonable. Recommand it.

Staff were very friendly, everything was clean and as expected. Very close to Hanazono. Very happy with experience.

The house was nestled in the woods, very quiet, and the snow view outside the window was beautiful, like something out of a comic book. The owner (male) was a foreigner (from Europe), but spoke excellent Chinese. He could easily pronounce some Chinese characters, and his pronunciation was very standard, even better than many Chinese people like myself—impressive! The owner loved Chinese food and culture...

Overall, the stay was excellent. The hotel's location is convenient, making it easy to get around; the rooms are clean, tidy, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. The front desk staff and other personnel were friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall, it offers good value for money, and I would choose to stay here again if I have the opportunity.

Big accommodation, easy to find Parking is a waste of money, not good here.

We booked a private room for 1 king as a last minute extension of our ski trip to be close to hanazono ski resort. The common living room area/lobby is extremely cosy with complimentary hot tea and coffee that can be enjoyed by the fireplace throughout the day. Super comforting after a cold day out. We also got to meet the owner Cliff who helped us get to and back from the resort, train and neighbouring...

Unparalleled attention to guests! staff dropped and picked us from the resort and to Kutchan (for dinner and JR stn). Helped recommend a yummy Gosetsu tempura udon restaurant and made reservations. Helped with our Chitose train schedule. Great location for the new Honozano. 3-5 min drive from Honozano 308. Common area is warm and cozy with the Georgian decor and fireplace. Not a “hotel room” experience...

This is a magical house in a great location. Highly recommended for a fun and comfortable stay in Niseko. The kitchen is great. We bought groceries from the supermarket in Kutchan (lucky is better than Coop) and catered some fabulous apres ski meals using the gorgeous Japanese dishes.

Great house, clean, with plenty of everyday essentials.

I extended my stay for another day for a total of 6 days. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Dave san made everything so easy. He recommended a ski rental shop, helped me to purchase the lift pass and every day he dropped me off or picked me up at the ski place. The breakfast every morning was also wonderful. Dave's wife made very tasty meals. And the portion was perfect for me to start a day of high...

We stayed here for a couple of nights and Dave the owner was so helpful. He speaks limited English but tried to help us out wherever possible. He took us to all the places that we needed to go and picked us up free of charge. It was my daughters birthday while we were there and he organised a cake for her and a bottle of champagne for us free of charge. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is...

5 minutes walk from main hirafu shops. Uphill for the ski lifts but that's true for most places . Spacious rooms, clean space and cosy lounge.

It was good but there was some resistance in the bathroom.

Very accessible to restos and Hirafu-zaka. You can go to convenience stores nearby (Lawson, Secomart, Hirafu 188). Also near from base of skiing areas and equipment rental (Aya Hirafu, etc.) You have shuttle buses every 20-30 minutes depending where you want to go from 8am till 830pm. Excellent amenities at our services apartment. We got a three bedroom loft with a nice view of Mount Yoti. Internet...

Outstanding modern apartment, close to everything in Niseko.

Spacious house for 10-13 ppl. People over 13 need to use futons put on the ground. Love the house with its equipment dry room and spacious public area. But some of the rooms are too small for placing luggage in. Tall people might hit their head when entering the bunk beds. It would be better if the agent can provide keys of the door in the 1st floor. It can let us put snow gear directly into the...

The living room and dining room are large. There are 13 beds on two floors, a quadruple room, a triple room with a bunk bed, a double room with a bunk bed, two double rooms, and a living room for 17 people. Convenient transportation, walk to the feeder station no. 6 two minutes, walk to the hot spring for three minutes.

The location is decent, very close to the ski resort, and the apartment offers a shuttle service from the station. Overall, the experience was quite good.

Location, size and value. Never saw staff (understandably due to Covid-19) but always reachable by phone.

It’s not the location (which you can’t beat), nor the accommodations (which are spacious and comfortable), or the amenities (beautiful fully equipped kitchen + in room washer dryer + Netflix) that surprised me, it’s the incredible service which really blew me away! I thought this was a self catering apartment, but turns out the onsite team (Robby, Nelson et al) catered to our many needs, from calling...

Beautiful resort to stay for skiing in hirafu niseko

Perfect location for skiiing and shopping. Very convenient

Very well organised holiday by Ludo & his team @ Vacation Niseko. The apartment was very good value for money being clean, modern, well equipped, close to the slopes and all the restaurants. Small requests like I needed a blender were catered for. Pick-up & drop off at the bus station were also friendly & helpful. Overall very good feel factor !

The hotel's location is super convenient, and they even offer free parking. The staff speak excellent English and were very clear in their explanations. My only complaint is that the parking area was very muddy, which made getting out of the car a bit messy.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They were awesome when we needed a lift to or from the Hilton to snowboard. We had a 2 bedroom appartment which was new neat and well-appointed. Washing machine Dryer Dishwasher kitchen. We will be back.

We had a great stay , the room is stunning and the staff are amazing ,very helpful and genuinely nice people we highly recommend it 🤩

Amazing staff and a great property. Super convenient to get to the base of Niseko Village and start your ski day from the Hilton gondola

We can not recommend this accom enough, it is so close to a great coffee shop, bus stops, and the slopes. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. We will definitely be back!

We didn't. The staff is fantastic and SnowDog Village, our condo was really nice and the free shuttle to and from Niseko Village was helpful. Without a car, however, it was difficult to get to a market and restaurants. Also, there was a restaurant onsite at one time that was closed when we stayed. Very quiet and close to the slopes.

Amazing experience! Unfortunately for the businesses and workers of this town, COVID-19 has taken it's toll on the economy. Fortunately for visitors, we get a rare glimpse into luxery at a price we can afford. The town is charming and looks like something you would see in the Colorado Rockies, enhabited by wealthy business tycoons. And recently, Australians. There are many outdoor adventure places...

(Canadian Review) Stayed here in January 2020 for 5 nights for our Honeymoon. We loved every minute of it. Staff was exceptional. Very friendly, very professional, very attentive, and will provide the best recommendations for your budget/tastes/mood. Rooms were of standard Japan size, but very modern contemporary, with very thoughtful layouts, storage, and design. 5+ star for the cleainess. Towels...

This place is fantastic! Great rooms & Onsens and a top restaurant right next door👌!!! And not to forget Pete & his team - they always made sure we’re having the best time. I mean together with fantastic conditions - “No wind, waist-deep powder” - we couldn’t help but fall in love with Niseko!

Pros- friendly service, super soft bed and pillow, stylish rooms. We came during off peak time in sep and we had the whole communal area to ourselves which was really nice Cons- if you come during off- peak times their famous breakfast place is not open, but the substitute restaurant Musu is not bad too

The super effort of Peter going above and beyond to make ones stay comfortable is amazing. Driven to and from ski fields, issued with a snowproof handy, Netflix in the rooms, we felt very looked after and one could not ask for more. Super hipster trendy place.

Fantastic place. Both facilities and service are superb. Hard to find a bteer location as well. Small enough to be really friendly, but never intrusive. Peter, the hotel manager is terrific - great recomendations on anything from restaurants to finding your way.
