perfect location in niseko. rooms are clean, nice outside onsen with snowing after snowboarding,service is nice. i staied here couple of times with jaran package, includes round air tickets from tokyo, hotel for 3nights costs 35000yen. i dont know how much do we pay but really good, luxuary hotel!!

Went to this place for a stopover for their onsen. Had an enjoyable experience popping over at the hotel.
1) As was gonna take the bus to Hanazono, and being the first time to Niseko, thought it would be good to drop my things at a nearby locker.
2) Went to the hotel and ready lockers were available, though slightly expensive at Y300.
3) The lift to 2F connects to other ski areas. Located next to the hotel is a ski and snowboard rental shop, where I managed to rent a pair of snow boots, due to wearing the wrong shoes and nearly slipping.
4) The onsen is located at the basement, and upon paying at the counter, you would proceed to the top for the public bath.
5) Amenities were plenty in the hotel's onsen, complete with a large onsen and jacuzzi. To add to this, the amenities for bathing are pretty adequate with plenty of shower positions, toiletries and, most importantly, freedom to enjoy your onsen as a tourist who speaks limited Japanese (Please do read my other "not so favourable review of onsen Daiichi Takimotokan - Japan rates its service quality and standards very highly).
6) There is also a souvenir shop near the entrance of the hotel where you can make a trip to see the souvenirs available for Niseko area.

A pretty much complete hotel, and one which thrives on its excellence in service. If I do go over to Niseko, I will stopover for another quick onsen and relaxation guide. May even try staying at the hotel next time, so that this can become a more complete review of Niseko Alpen Hotel.

My husband and I recently returned from a ski adventure in Japan. This is not a common destination for people from Los Angeles but we thought we would give it a try. We stayed at the Niskeo Alpen for 3 nights. Our room was functional yet a bit small but not a problem. The daily buffet breakfast ,which was part of our room rate, was nice. It was a combination of Western and Japanese food. The location of the hotel is truly ski in/out. It was fantastic to be so close to the lift. The ski locker room is right there as well. The staff was very accomodating. They all spoke a litte English. The onsen and pool area is really nice. It is just below the lobby and such a treat after a full day of skiing. The sushi restaurant in the hotel was very nice. All the food in this town was delicious. We booked our trip through Ski Japan.com. They did an amazing job with airport transfers, ski rental and the hotel booking. I highly recommend them. The skis we rented were 2010 and were in great condition almost new. I hightly suggest this hotel for convenience to the lift. You do have to walk down the street to dine but it was no problem as the town is small

My family and I spent 6 nights in Niseko Alpen Hotel for skiing during Christmas. Alpen Hotel was right next to the Ace Pair quad chairlift and a ski rental shop. The hotel itself also had an ski locker area where each room got its individual locker, a very good facility for skiers. The Japanese spa, or onsen, was very comfortable, and my family always wanted to stay longer. There was an indoor swimming pool which was great to have a swim when outside was snowing heavily. The buffet breakfast and dinner was good, but after a few days with similar food, we felt a bit tired of it. The chocolate fountain was great for dessert during dinner. In summary, I like this hotel was its location, convenience and facilities. By the way, it was right next to the Niseko Welcome Center where my family took a bus directly to the Sapporo International Airport after the trip.
The hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and spoke good English. They helped us to locate my son's lost google and also helped to book airport buses timely.
