Overall Ratings & Reviews Torifito Hotel And Pod Niseko

Has an onsen

Nice stay with great breakfast

Helpful staff clean facility and good breakfast. Nice to have a spa onsite!

First time staying in a pod. Basically a dorm with a plastic accordion screen. You can hear everything. Not for light sleepers. This property was easy, good shuttle service during the day. Ends at 6 which can be problematic. 15 minutes from gondola. Big grocery next door and some restaurants within a 10 minute walk. If I stay there again, I will get a regular room

This hotel is the best value in the area and just a 12min drive to Niseko Hirafu ski area. We stayed in the hotel section (as opposed to the pods), in room 125 that sleeps 3. Our room was comfy, quiet and clean. Lots of socializing going on in the common area but you couldn't hear it from our room. Bathrooms and showers are shared, but were clean and never that busy. Spa wasn't anything fancy, but a really nice place to soak after a ski day and it is open round the clock, just closed for cleaning at 10am. The front desk workers spoke good English and were very welcoming. Breakfast is so good but quite expensive, especially given what a good value the hotel is otherwise. You are next door to a minimart and grocery store, so we just stocked up there and kept food in our fridge (not sure if the individual pods have fridges, but our 3person room did). Hotel has plenty of free parking, and a shuttle if you need to get around without a car. Large locker room for ski equipment is a really nice touch. PS If you book through hotels.com, it will tell you that you can change your booking without any penalty up until a certain date, this is not entirely true. Hotels.com will CANCEL your booking without penalty, then make a new booking with your change. If all units at the hotel are full, this is risky. Someone else could snag your canceled booking during this process. I paid for 2 days I didn't need bc I didn't want to risk losing it, as every hotel in the area was full.

We really enjoyed our 4 day stay at Torifito. We had a double bunk bed room and there was enough space for our snowboard bags and luggage, plus the ski locker room to store our gear. Would recommend the breakfast buffet! Great value and delicious choices for everyone before hitting the ski hill! The onsen was lovely and relaxing and everything felt clean and tidy. We didn’t stay in the pod area but it seemed quiet and tidy when we passed by. Parking right out front and a big grocery store next door.

Affordable pod’s near niseko with excellent bus network to the slopes. The communal bathrooms were mostly well cleaned given the number of people using. I do think the robot bidets’ had brown stains on the wands. Kinda grossed me out. Otherwise economical way to hit niseko. Bring ear plugs, they should really segregate the pods from sleepers who snore. Def so uncles sawing wood some nights i had to use my headphones. Hotel staff are lovely and helped me with Yamato transport of my luggage. Breakfast was pretty good and a decent value.

Super cool spot definitely recommend

Shuttle bus to the ski resort is convenient

Excellent budget option for Niseko resort. Located with convenience stores, grocery store, and restaurant's nearby. Timely free ski shuttle as well.

Convenient

it's good but a little far from the ski resort we need to take a cab to go there,we though we can go there hy walking.

Torifito was a very pleasant stay, exceeded our expectations. Perfect location, 10-15 minutes from Niseko Grand Hirafu. The lobby is very clean, the onsen was a nice bonus after a long day skiing. The rooms/facilities are very clean and spacious room for Japan. There are two separate rooms for skis, one for storage and another room to dry up any soaked ski gear. Washer & laundry option was a plus. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, lots of options! Hotel is located next to convenience store and a grocery store.

onsite onsen great, breakfast buffet convenient mattresses are on the 'firm' side

Will definitely be coming back. Staff was extremely friendly. Had everything I needed. The only thing I would change, is the bed are hard as a rock.

I stayed at Torifito in Kutchan in the summer time, so this is not representative for a wintertime experience. I am sure the place is great in the winter. During summer, especially in August it could be very uncomfortable as the rooms have no air-conditioning. Fans are provided but not as effective for August heat, so if you're travelling in August, consider places with air-conditioning. Otherwise, all good. Pros: Lawson's right next, very convenient. Also Aeon supermarket. Cons: A bit of a walk from the train station (the shortest route that Google shows is actually not walkable with luggage). Taxis are few and expensive, about 850 JPY from the place to the station.

First time stay at hotel and pod concept where restroom separated from the room, turns out everything is fine . We like the clean washroom, we like the relaxing spacious lounge , and the books offered. The location is very convenjent too ! Just side by side with AEON !

It was simple but cheap

Clean and comfortable stay. Excellent gear room. Will come back when in Niseko for boarding with a hired car.

Overall stay was great! Please improve the pillows though, they were a bit flat. Facilities were very new and modern, and we liked the layout of the room overall, very functional and spacious.
