Excellent accomodation, shuttle bus was extremely helpful - only downside was the attached restaurant was closed at some points due to staffing issues - but when it was open it was very good.

8/10 Very good

Located in quiet area. Shuttle service is very good. For a fairly new building there are some disappointments in terms of comfort; Heating in the room is poorly controlled and showers are not equipped with pressure static valves maintaining constant temperature.

Average stay
We were quite disappointed by our stay at Always Niseko given the premium we paid for a tiny room without any space for our suitcases. There was housekeeping 1 time during our 8 night stay. Reception staff not overly service minded or happy. Restaurant was only open for breakfast so no place to have a drink in the evening. We would just have expected a bit more given how much we paid to stay here over the NYE period. Breakfast served between 6.30-9.30am and the breakfast staff were lovely.

8/10 Very good

Overall, a pleasant experience. My main complaint relates to the cleaning service, which was not thorough at all. For example, dead winter bugs in plain sight were not removed during my 10-day stay.

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly, check in was easy, they had an English speaking staff which made it extra easy. The rooms are big and clean. Bathrooms are a bit small. The beds are hard. The location was nice. Staff gave this place bonus points, as they were very friendly.

Little bit out of the way but they run shuttle buses every 30mins which can get full to the lifts. The buses also run until 9pm. Breakfast is good and dinner was good (breaded oysters and ramen) Rooms are a good size with enough storage Reception was friendly and helpful Clean rooms
