Kyowa Hotels

"Booked the deluxe room with private onsen. While having a private onsen was the best part of the room the rest of the room was subpar. The mattresses are very thin and are quite stiff making for restless nights, and the shower is outdated and could not adequately hold a single temperature at one time fluctuating throughout. The breakfast at the hotel is very minimal and last seating was at 9am which is the earliest I’ve seen at any hotel. It is understandable that most individuals will be trying to get on the mountain first thing, they should accommodate for a later breakfast time as some people may want to sleep in, especially after a heavy day of skiing. The ski in/ski out lockers are down a large flight of stairs then down more narrow stairs to get to the mountain, which is fine but they should put rubber matts on top of the concrete so guests don’t damage their equipment in the ski locker area. Hope they are able to continue to update their infrastructure to compete with newer properties and make the guest experience better."

"Absolutely fabulous !! Looked forward to returning to the hotel every day. Highly recommend and great location at the bottom of the slopes."

"Stunning ski in ski out resort. Very new rooms with great breakfast. "

"Convenient for snowboarding to Kiroro. Transportation stops right at the hotel."

"Great room layout, good ski out location, run to ski in a little challenging. Much more a condo development than a true hotel though. Difficult to get ski edge service in the on property ski shop, although fine for wax. Parking a little expensive. Breakfast was a weak point,.lack of variety and quality overall at the price point. In house restaurants great quality but pricey and not everyday eating. Short walk though to other options in Hirafu. Only one towel per person per day a little stingy, Onsen not truly an Onsen (no mineral water), so fundamentally more of a large hot bath. Daylight to room better than expected with Premium Suite on first floor, was concerned about proximity to ski and boot room but had no issues."

"Hotel Nord Otaru is located across the street from the canal. It has a good view of the canal, but the ocean view is far away and unimpressive. The rooms are dated. Our shower room smelled like mildew and there was some visible mold on the ceiling. The room size is larger than typical for Japan. The breakfast buffet was mediocre but convenient. The Hokkaido ramen was good. The bar upstairs had a nice ambiance but they were out of several types of alcohol and their signature cocktail. It’s about an 11 minute walk to Otaru Station and about 28 minutes to the Mount Tengu Ropeway. "

"Perfect for a solo traveler looking to ski/snowboard Niseko United. "

"spacious room. Convenient snow gear locker. Nice onsen"

"My wife enjoyed the hotsprings and found a nice curry place near by"
