Utasutsu Hotels

"Hotel's exteriors a bit old but nice decor internally . Rooms are nice and big. Cozy hot tub/spa. Close to the ski slopes."

"It was off peak season. So the place was relatively quiet and not many other guests around. Service staffs at the reception and restaurants were helpful and courteous even though they didn't speak much English. Our traditional Japanese room was clean and beautiful. Yukata was provided in room and could be worn around the hotel. We opened the window for better ventilation as cool temperature was refreshing. The only gripe was that the window does not have grille, which can be a little dangerous with young child around. Since this hotel also has onsen facilities, we got to experience Japanese bath and hot spring water. Breakfast and dinner were included in our package. Dinner was great with wide variety of food. Breakfast selection could be better."

"Favourite place to stay for snowboarding"

"Nice, cosy and spacious resort. "

"Location was really good. Only about a 7 min walk to subway station. Hotel was amazing. I booked the club floor room, so could have spent zero yen on food for the whole trip if I really wanted to. The bar was absolutely perfect. Cocktails were amazing. "

"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 "

"The Niseko Ski Lodge lives up to its name--a rustic ski lodge. The staff were super friendly, and international. Upstairs rooms mostly share a bath, but we had a room with a private bath. The pre-fab bathroom was tiny and weirdly placed with a ~10" step up. Room size was good, but it was stiflingly hot with the radiator heat. We were unable to turn it down enough to get a comfortable temperature without opening the windows. Getting to Niseko Village gondola base (not the main base by the Hilton) was a trek--15 mins. I carried my skis and boots to make it more reasonable to walk. Bus is a 5-minute walk, but infrequent enough that walking was preferable. Food was adequate--not particularly good or much variety, but OK. "

"Close to ski lifts 3 minute drive."
