Niseko Grand Hotel

The hotel is dated; however, the outdoor onsen is a great experience. Mr. Y. Onimaru at the Front Desk was very friendly and provided excellence customer services during our stay. The breakfast is a combination of Japanese and western style. It is very yummy. Our original booking was a traditional Japanese room but found out there is no shower/bathing area inside the room which was unexpected. Ms. Sato at the Front Desk helped and moved us to a Japanese/Western room the next day so we had our own shower area and were able to experience sleeping on the tatami. The hotel provides shuttle services to 3 different ski resorts; however, the schedule to and back from Hirafu is very limited (even during peak season). They should consider providing shuttle services the same schedule as going to Annipuli during peak season. Need to take a taxi from Niseko Village back after dinner. It costs USD $40-50 each time. May stay again because of the onsen and breakfast.

Great hotel, but not close to the slopes. There is a frequent shuttle bus if you're ok with that.

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.

Staff are nice. The service was perfect. We love the onsen and breakfast. Just the furniture are too old and defective, not a classic style but really old. But it is still very good experience as the price is very reasonable.

The dinners were the same every night wiht little variation. Not good for a week's stay. Facilities are run down.

Breakfast and onsen were amazing! Clean facility and accommodation.

The included breakfast was excellent, the staff was great, and the onsen was very nice

The staff was excellent everywhere you turned….the restaurant staff and food quality was exceptional!

This property is not far from the Annapuri Lifts and has regular shuttle busses heading to all the ski slopes! Also, the reason I chose it is the awesome onsen and large outside rotemburo! We were able to combine skiing and onsen enjoyment! Breakfast buffet was very good as well. Good value for the money and super friendly and helpful staff!

It's a great location if you plan on skiing/snowboarding in Annupuri or Grand Hirafu area as their free shuttle goes there and back. If you want to eat though, there's only a few options as taxi is limited if you didn't rent a car. They do have free breakfast which is delicious and their dinner buffet sufficed but not for the price of ¥4500/ person. The free onsen is the highlight after a long day at the slopes. The staff are helpful and friendly. Don't expect a free late checkout as you pay more per hour per room rate. They do offer pick up and drop off shuttle to the bus station for Sapporo/CTS airport. All in all, the stay was great for our family of 7.

We actually loved staying here and the food upstairs in the restaurant is excellent. The rooms are comfy and the access to the mixed onsen is excellent. Probably one of our favourite parts. I will say that the shower in the rooms were very average. Plenty of hot water but it’s a very small setup and feels more like a van than a hotel.

Amazing. Staff not very friendly, but okay

This hotel is definitely dated looking on the exterior and public circulation spaces. But the western rooms were just renovated and are quite nice. The Onsen is fantastic. The breakfast is also great. I kind of forgot it was included in the rate I chose. It’s also great they have a free shuttle. It’s mostly convenient. There’s also a public bus stop at the front door. I’d say location is the main downside for most people. It’s not overly walkable to anywhere without some effort. I might end up there again. It was my first trip to Niseko, so I really didn’t know the layout yet. Now that I’ve got a good feeling for the area I’ll look and see what other options exist closer to the hills/dining options. I definitely dont want to be at a busier resort area like Hirafu, but wouldn’t mind being walkable to Moiwa or Annupuri. Would make choosing when to start or stop skiing easier. Mind you.. that Onsen is great. I no in a couple times a day before breakfast and after skiing. It’s open about 22.5 hours a day.

Clean and comfortable, tea and kimonos in the room, heated toto toilet, great lighting, plenty of space for clothes & luggage in the room. Warm, welcoming staff, English was good and a great Onsen!! Nice to share the outside mineral water lagoon with my husband. Felt like a ski lodge enjoyed all the fellow skiers on the bus to 10 minute drive to Annupuri resort frequent schedule.

The hotel needs a good renovation. Very old and tired. The rooms I booked (Japanese style vs western style) were not respected, and one of the rooms did not have a shower. The onsen is good but too many people using it do not how to behave and really ruin the experience.

Great shared onsen

Incredible open-air bath -- recommend visiting in the winter. Not a lot of areas close by to eat, but accessible via car.

Loved the Onsen at the hotel. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is great at the hotel. The only downside is the distance to most restaurants. Shuttle service to the ski hills is super convenient and well timed. Would suggest renting a car if you have a group of 4 or more. Great experience though, definitely recommend.

Staff. Best onsen

Property is dated, but onsen and shuttle around the mountain made it a good stay.
