Hotel Abuta District dengan Gim

Sansui was not yet opened when we make the decision to stay there for our honeymoon. No review was available before we made the booking for 3 nights at the Sansui’s Studio. We don’t know what exactly to expect. Thankfully, we are delightfully surprised. The hotel really delivered a wonderful experience for our first-time visiting Niseko. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the receptionists. They were polite and friendly. Our room was clean and tidy. It is not large but it fits 2 unfolded 30-inch luggages. We have wonderful Mt. Yotei view. We registered private snowboarding lessons via hotel and rent gear in in-house rental shop. I would suggest visitors head down to the rental shop on B/F to complete the fitting process for your gears before the day of lesson. The staff will store your gears in corresponding locker. You will be able to put your gears the next day in no time. The “Ski in ski out” entrance is right next to the rental shop which is very convenient. We really enjoyed the shower and private Onsen after class. Our car was parked in front of the hotel during our stay since the basement park is already full. We had to move our car two times during our stay upon hotel staff’s request due to the limited parking spot. While it was a bit inconvenient, the staff was very apologetic and understanding which I appreciated. I would suggest guests try to reserve a basement parking spot because there is only very few available. We didn’t use the bus service heading to supermarket/ restaurants this time, but we will try next time. We opt to cook for lunch and dinner since the produces and meats are such great value in Hokkaido and Sansui’s kitchen is very well equipped. Pros: Good location near beginner slope, private snowboarding lesson, private Onsen with Mt. Yotei, door camera, USB C power outlet, Germany made ROSENTHAL cups, ZOJIRUSHI kettle, well equipped kitchen with 1 pan 1 pot, dish soap, large HITACHI washer dryer with laundry detergent, Imabari towels, towel heater, ICOR skincare set, rental gears in good condition Cons: Small car park, body wash not suitable for dry/sensitive skin (probably whole Hokkaido), no body lotion I am not sure guests are able to see Mt. Yotei in every single rooms. There are no Mt. Yotei view for selection in official online reservation. I do hope Sansui could maintain the quality when we visit next time.

We went during winter as it is the best season to visit Niseko but what makes our trip exceptionally memorable is this hotel that we can call our 'home' during our 5-night stay in December 2023. The room is exceptionally comfortable and clean but what stands out is the superb hospitality and service from the hotel's team. From the moment we checked in, the Front Office team was very welcoming (shout out to Kiel, Ryoka and the whole team) including the amiable and helpful hotel manager, Ms. Yolande (who took her time to welcome us and have a brief chat). Yolande even made sure to greet the guests every morning as we all walked to the restaurant for breakfast. It is the little things like this that make the difference. And thank you for all the tips and advice which was very very helpful.. During our stay, we were very comfortable and enjoyed the whole winter at Niseko's experience, especially returning to our cosy hotel and room after a long day exploring the small town. Thanks to the housekeeping team who always kept the room in the best condition (I think they make up the room a minimum of two times a day) - I didn't manage to get your names but your work is highly appreciated. On top of that, we always look forward to going for breakfast every morning as the menu prepared is of excellent quality - serving the best produce from Hokkaido like snow king crab. The team at the restaurant deserves much praise. Shoutout to the team (Goong, Korn, Ploy, Nut, Riko and Kristina). Thank you for your warm hospitality and the little conversations we had. I have lots of fond memories during my stay here and I look forward to coming back again real soon and seeing the familiar faces I've met on this trip.

こちらは、ニセコ駅より車で10程度の静かな森の中にあります。 ホテルの基本部分は古いと思いますが、今風にリニューアルされています。 ホテルに入ると森林？の香りがしてチェックインは普通の対応でした。 デラックス和洋室にとまりましたが、部屋は広くゆったりしており、畳でのごろ寝が良かったです。 また、備え付けの羊蹄山の水が美味しかったです。 館内は浴衣で歩く事が出来き、夕食会場へ・・夕食は、ハーフバイキングで 内容的には、刺身、陶板料理、肉or魚焼き料理、他がビュッフェでした。 どれも普通に美味しく、ビュッフェの種類も多かったです。 ホテルのエントランスでは、19:30～約1時間20分間ピアノとバイオリンによる生演奏が楽しめこれまた良かったです。 温泉は若干硫黄のにおいがして普通に内風呂と露天風呂、サウナ、水風呂があり（夜の22:00に男女が入れ替わります） また、朝食のバイキングは和洋沢山のおかずがありお腹いっぱいになりました。 全体的に静かに・ゆったり・美味しく・生演奏が心地よいホテルでした。

I want to give top marks for customer recovery for Chalet Ivy. I booked five nights there for a Feb ski trip in october 2022. It was confirmed by Agoda, the booking agglomeration site. But 3 weeks before the trip, they claimed they couldn’t find the booking and had to cancel the booking. The fault seemed to lay with their 3rd party wholesaler for rooms. With sky high costs and low availability at this stage, I freaked out. But Vladi the reservations officer from Chalet Ivy manager managed to re-book me in albeit at a slightly higher price- offset by the compensation I received from Agoda. We even had an upgrade to a Mt Yotei view room. Great save. Also a shoutout to front reception staff like Rou Hong who was so helpful. All in a great experience staying at the Chalet Ivy

Stayed at 2nd fl studio, facing mountain. A bit too low so view was slightly blocked by some structure but still good. Room size was good for 2, with 2 opened suitcases lying on the floor. Dining table was small, Japanese standard size. With 2 cups of coffee, very little space for 2 plates. Kitchenette equipped, washer & dryer w/detergent, iron, clothes rack all in. Shower was so comfortable, good water temp & pressure, has seat to relax as you shower. Basic shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, bathroom amenities. Each room has own ski lockers at B1, really a ski-in/out location. This is the BEST feature. From outside the locker room, you can access the family hill, skied down to the lift and ski down this hill. Its a night ski area too, so beginners can spend the whole day here. Its a bit narrow comparatively & so it felt crowded at times, but most times it was ok. 2nd and last day were magical at this hill. Powder snow, at night we were about the only 5-6 people at the slope. Night ski closes at 7pm. There is another 1 hotel at this hill, also ski-in/out, but Maples is hands-down, the better location as its door is just at this hill, no need to walk at all, other than just to put on your skis. There are 2 restaurants on site, we only visited the Italian. Most of the good eating places were so packed and needed to queue. We were thankful for this Italian restaurant which served really good pizzas and beef cheek. Able to walk in without queueing, place is about 80% full most times. After 3 dinners, they recognized us and actually saved us seats. Concierge was friendly and super helpful. Another great feature was the van to & from Maples to where we needed to go. Book the transport early (at least 1 day) to get to and back from gondola - trust us, you WILL really need it. Tried lugging ski gears from the nearest bus-stop, and walking upslope in ski boots after a day of skiing, it was so tiring. Very nearby: convenience store, a popular ramen shop, Arabica coffee truck (not open daily), snack food trucks

I had reservations for 2 rooms for a group of five for 3D2N on the 3rd week of December 2022. While the property is well kept and ground were impeccable, the check-in process is the worst experience I ever had in all my stays with the Marriott group of hotels since the 90s. It took an hour & 15 min to check-in, all because of some cultural pride of not finding the right people to do the job right from onset: at the drop off at the bellhop to billing at the frontdesk. The bellhop was a tall young Japanese lady who could not speak English at all. I was attempting to walk to the frontdesk as there were 2 coaches off loading guests simultaneously & I did not want to be caught with this large group of ten or more tourists. She refused not once but thrice with her out stretched arms to stop us from proceeding to the frontdesk with our luggage. Apparently, on highsight, she thought we were part of the other group & wanted to contain and corral our luggages. I gave up 😖 & regretfully let her & her co-workers take our 7 pieces of luggage. At the check-in, a young male bellhop assigned us to a senior looking male frontdesk staff who could not speak or understand English very well. It took him a while to get the paperwork done & when presenting the bill to be paid up full, it did not match the reservation booking which was a significant amount. It dragged on for another 20 min going back & forth with him. Using google translator helped a bit but again he could not reconcile the booking … I had to demand for our check-in to be handled by someone who could speak English but he refused & continue trying to communicate to me in his poor English. I had to raise my voice for help; kept asking him to let another senior member to assist us. Which caught some attention eventually. Fortunately, a young French lady who speaks Japanese & English, ironically was assigned to Japanese guests 🙄 came to our rescue. By this time, 45 min has elapsed, my family by then discovered our luggage has gone missing ! The silly bellhop tall Japanese lady who cannot speak English had grouped our bags with the larger group. She wanted to do her job well BUT did not understand there we were not part of the other group 😡 So silly way to run a simple hotel operation. Any attempts to ask any on the non-speaking Japanese staff to get an English speaking failed. It had to do with some silly cultural pride of not being competent to do their job that created this stubbornness and refusal to get an English speaking staff. Why 2-star rating instead of 1-star only because the English speaking French lady staff helped me to bring the billing attention to the duty manager who apologized for the delay & he resolved the billing issue eventually. Take note, I just stayed at The Westin Las Vegas a month ago in November & it took less than 5 min to check-in. What a stark contrast between this Westin Rusutsu & Westin Las Vegas. Shame that this winter ski resort bearing the Westin brand had

The hotel is beyond our expectations. Though the location is not as midtown as the name might suggest, it is only a short drive to downtown. Front-desk staff are helpful. The room is clean and aptly decorated. A water heater in a shower room is easy to work with. USB sockets are abundant. We are surprised to see a common kitchen available for hotel guests. I guessed many people would want to cook their own food during the snow-peak season. Not sure about the room price during Winter but the rate we got in Autumn is very reasonable. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Niseko.

My family and I stayed at Setsu for 8 nights in January 2024. We shared a one bedroom suite which worked perfectly for a family of four. The amenities in the room were excellent, having a washer and dryer in the room was very helpful. The room alone gets five stars. The location of the hotel is ok. It was handy having Lawsons across the road and food trucks and restaurants nearby (though sidewalks were pretty icy and not great to walk on at night). The ramen restaurant in the hotel is great, the food is tasty and its relatively affordable. The hotel could do with another lower cost food option as there was normally a long queue to get in. We ate at Luke's in the hotel one night. The service was excellent. But it was way over-priced. Some fried fish, a side of chips and a burger cost about $A180. The burger was good and given the location I didn't mind paying $A50 for it, but the fish at $A95 was pretty ordinary (oily and very salty). The cheapest bottle of wine was $A200. Breakfast was ok but not great - some freshly cooked egg options would have been nice. The snow was great - but a couple of days the top slopes were closed due to wind. This meant the queues down the bottom were very long. The ski school was a good way to jump the queues - but worth being aware that only Go Snow gets this at grand hirafu - rhythm doesn't get to jump any queues, and NISS at Hanazano only. The shuttle bus to the slopes was ok. We never had to wait too long but it was a bit awkward having to take skis onboard the bus. There is also a walk up to the gondola from the bus stop - its pretty short normally, but can take 20 minutes if the gondola queue is long. By contrast the Park Hyatt has a quick ski down to the Hanazano lifts which looked like a much easier way to get going - though there isn't much around apart from the hotel. Overall it feels like the volume of people at Niseko has over-stretched the other infrastructure. So not sure if we'd go back.
