La chambre était sympa

Le bâtiment est mal insonorisé donc on entend les gens dans le couloir Logement cher pour cette qualité mais c'est cher partout à Niseko

5.0

It's some of the only budget lodging in Gran Hirafu. The coin laundry, vending machine and communal eating utensils and glasses were nice.

It wasn't very clean, the private rooms or communal spaces. The showers were moldy, and the men's bathroom on the 3rd floor was particularly bad, stunk horribly of urinal cakes, and no bathroom slippers meant urine from the urinals would track everywhere...

Great spot in lower Hirafu

10.0

The staff were all lovely, very helpful and spoke English, the room felt quite spacious compared to other stays in Japan, very close to the free shuttle bus stop and a lovely Izakaya restaurant, the hotel shuttle to and from the welcome centre made arrival and departure easy, cheap breakfast and vending machines make life easy

Not a problem persay but be aware the property is split over multiple levels if stairs are an issue for anyone you're travelling with

There is like 5-6 western staff that are always there to answer your questions. The place is nice and welcoming to talk to people

The shower was old with paint coming off the wall The blankets were too short for me (I m 6 feet)
