Akazora

Great location, partners with the local ski rental shop made for easy pick up and returns, super friendly/helpful staff, very clean and spacious suites.

This hotel has a very good location - it’s a ~10-15min walk to the closest ski lift and plenty of restaurants, food trucks, and convenience stores nearby. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. They are english speaking which made the whole experience much easier. They provided us with recommendations of the area and also helped us coordinate the ski lift passes beforehand, so we were able to receive it upon check-in. They also helped us book the shuttle to the airport for our check out day which made transportation less stressful. The hotel is fully equipped with all your skiing needs. There is a locker space in the basement and the room itself has a laundry with plenty of space to hang your gear. We had the 2bedroom unit for 3 people and it was very spacious to allow for all our luggage. One downside for us - you can hear people outside on the street pretty clearly until around 11pm or 12am. The surrounding area gets pretty busy.

Had a great week's stay at Akazora. Really convenient location to dining, bars. Green line ski shuttle stops on same road for travel to King and Ace Gondalas.

sometimes passers by are loud

Great place to stay. Need first stop on Grand hirafu bus line. Rooms are big. Have a washer dryer combo in the room. Have a nice little kitchen area. Staff was great. They were super helpful and kind. Will definitely stay again when I return.

Great location. Easy/fast access to lifts by shuttle bus. Building and facilities are new and in good condition. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Furnishings, unfortunately, are not quite up to the standard of the building: a bit cheap and spartan for the price. I expected better. The beds have a cushion on top of the mattress that slides around as you sleep. Not comfortable. Also, the “double beds” are, in fact, singles pushed together. This was also disappointing for the price. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and appreciated the service, but with so many accommodation options nearby, we would look for a place with a better standard of furnishings and bedding.

Very nice location. Under the unusual hot summer in Niseko , room with air condition is helpful!

Staff was very friendly and they are very helpful. Also their response were very quick and we appreciate their service a lot (pick up / drop off service were arranged on spot and it was comfortable) Ski drying room were a little difficult to find.... so maybe their sign can improve a little.

Great locaton for exploring Niseko/Hirafu area.

This was my second visit to Akazora. On my own this time, 12 nights. I had a street front studio that met all my needs, comfortable bed, functional kitchenette, wall mounted flat screen TV that swivelled to all parts of the room, cable has an adequate range of English language channels. Akazora has particularly nice bathrooms and a small laundry off that room in its own alcove. I ate in a lot and the kitchenette worked out well. Akazora is extremely convenient to the town of Hirafura with it's restaurants and bars, there's a shuttle stop right at the door and shuttles run about every 20 minutes to either Hirafura or Hanazono mountain base. There's also an undercover carpark if you have a car and the ski lockup is next door to the carpark. The staff are all lovely people, Nikki on reception was really friendly and helpful and gave a lift to the bus station on the last day. I really enjoyed my stay. The photo is Mt Yotei (no ski) taken from Mt Annupuri (ski).

Had a great stay, lack of front desk staff, but out of winter season which is to be expected. Lovely clean rooms, great shower! Thank you.

Great location spacious rooms. Free parking.

Easy self check in process. Great facilities. But Tv program is not enough. We can't watch any euro sport channel even j-sport channel also missing

A bit far from ski resort but could get aid for free riding when schedule met, though it said no riding service available when I asked by email before trip. All staff were amazingly nice and friendly. One thing to be desired was there’s no bath tub.

Akazora aparment is excellent in every way. Location is walking distance to every highlight spots (AYA ski lift, Seico Mart, several restaurants in the same areas). Room is large and very clean, well equipped with kitchen and utilities. We are lucky to have the room with bathtub. Our room is at ground floor and we can see Mountain Yotei from our window, eventhough it was city view. Overall, our family (two adults and one little kid) is happy very much with ski trip and staying at Akazora.

ひととおりの施設、キッチン用具がそろっております。日本人向けに小皿と菜箸があるとさらによかったです。

3泊しました。キッチンがあって　コロナ禍で安心して食事できました。ただ滞在中　清掃が無いのは理解できますが　ゴミの回収をしてもらえないのは困りました。3泊ともなると　生ゴミが増えるので臭いが気になります。かと言って　ベランダに出すとカラスが来るので　室内に置くしかなく。 それ以外は　とても快適で　また宿泊したいと思います。

地図で見るよりもコンビニや飲食店、ウィンターグッズ販売店までが近くて便利でした。 疲れた体を浴槽で癒したかったので浴槽がなかったのは残念でしたが、壁面に座れる作りになっていました。 洗濯機や洗剤、たくさん干せる物干しなどがとても助かりました。着替えが最小限でも次の日には乾いているので荷物が少なくてすみます！おすすめです！！

滞在中、ホテルの隣で工事が行われることになったのですが、予めその旨お知らせいただき、騒音などに関する質問にも丁寧にお答えいただきました。当日は、工事と逆側の部屋だったこともあり、騒音はほとんど気になりませんでした。設備はどれも清潔で、使用方法も日本語と英語で明記されており、快適に使用できました。スタッフの方とお会いしたのはチェックイン時だけでしたが、とても感じのよい対応でした。

とても清潔感のあるお部屋で洗濯機が部屋についているのがとても便利でよかったです。 調味料はありませんが、調理器具は揃っているので簡単な調理もできて助かりました！
