The staff were amazing! Best price in town. We took the shuttle every morning and then walked back after skiing. The breakfast was free and I decided to skip it but the Ramon restaurant at night was really tasty. Our skis were safe and in a warmed locker. Really wonderful overall.

We booked a 4n stay here during ski season and had a very good experience. Rooms were very clean and comfy, the heater was so awesome and we opened the windows slightly to regulate the temperature. Food wise, the hotel's breakfast is very humble but acceptable and given that it's difficult to go out in the snow and nothing is very walkable in Niseko, we had most of our dinners at the in house cafe. Great ramen during cold snowy nights. If you're lacking anything, an awesome 711 is literally opposite the lodge so you can get many ready meal options there. Service wise, the staff are as helpful as they can get and will do their best to help. Good English speaking capabilities too. In terms of location, this is fairly near Hirafu but is in btwn Hirafu and Hanazono. During peak season, the jam from Hirafu back here will easily take 1h drive but without traffic, it could be as short as 10 mins. If you're intending to go to Annapuri or Niseko Village, it will take minimally about 40 mins by public bus which stops right outside the lodging. Lastly, if you're going to Niseko to ski, this is a good place to stay at because it has a huge ski locker on the first floor for your boots and skis/boards etc once you get back it's located literally next to a great rental called Good Sports. The only disappointing factor abt the hotel is that they explicitly state they have a shuttle to Hirafu but this wasn't operating when we arrived despite the fact that ski season was in full swing

Great staff. Genuinely helpful and accommodating. Responsible shuttle service as well as walkable when needed. I recommend this if you’re looking for something easy and your main priority is the mountain.

Very inexpensive place but 17 m3 room size is MUCH smaller than anticipated. Very basic accommodation that would be fine for a maximum of 2 days. The breakfast and dinner option was absolutely awful. Breakfast was very cold and dinner the same for 7 nights in a row.

Good Location!
Nice hotel. I think it's a new hotel because all stuffs in the room were looks new. Haha..except there is no tv & kettle in the room but kettle, micro oven & etc..can get it on the 1st & 3rd. floor pantry. Big size tv is allocated outside at the coffee lounge. Good location to Niseko mountain & Fukidashi Park. There are several restaurants & 7 Eleven around the hotel. Although the breakfast is simple but nice! The staffs were very friendly.

SO SO STAY IN ECOLODGE
Concept is based on BNB - room size small not equivalent for the price paid. Location too far from town, about 10 minutes drive away. However, reception was friendly and helpful.
