I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is truly unbeatable, being just a stone's throw from the lifts and the main Hirafu street. The rooms, while a bit dated, were clean and had all the essentials, including an air purifier that's quite thoughtful. The breakfast was the highlight for me, offering a generous variety of Japanese and Western options.

Hotel Niseko Alpen offers a fantastic ski-in/ski-out experience with convenient access to the slopes and nearby amenities. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, are a bit on the small side for multiple guests, and there's a lack of comfortable seating. The dining options, especially the breakfast buffet, are excellent and provide a variety of choices. The service is commendable, with staff eager to assist guests. However, the pricing can be steep, and it's wise to request a renovated room for optimal comfort.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel due to its fantastic location right by the ski lifts and a beautiful onsen that offered great views. The rooms were clean, although a bit small, but perfect for me since I was mostly out skiing. The service was exceptional, particularly when staff went above and beyond to help a friend after an unfortunate skiing accident. The breakfast buffet had a great variety, but I would have appreciated a few more vegetarian options. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, it’s definitely worth the price for the experience and amenities.
