The staff were excellent. The room was fantastic. I think our hot tub but a bit dirty but other than that we loved it. Huge room, ski n ski out, incredibly help staff. The onsite restaurant food was terrible but the hotel itself was great.

The property is about 50 yards from the ski lift. The room is spacious and well appointed. We had a kitchenette with fridge and microwave as well as flatware. The Onsen is smaller but nice and comfortable / relaxing.

This hotel is conveniently located. Rooms are generous and suite had a small though useable kitchenette. Staff were most helpful. My partner had a ski accident and staff were exceptional in accommodating her requests for transport to hospital, crutches etc. we are most grateful. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

型格酒店，溫泉很有風味，酒店環境保養得非常好。如果暖水泳池可以大一點，泊車位置可以再接近一些酒店或可以泊入地庫，那就完美。

It was opened in 2009 but it looks younger because it is in excellent condition and is very clean. With good amenties eg microwave and kettle. I also like it because it is right next to one of the lift and ski school, you wouldnt want to walk back to hotel after skiing for one whole day! Overall good value for money!

Our stay at the Vale Niseko was wonderful. The staff was friendly, attentive and went above and beyond to make our vacation as smooth and easy as possible. They even recommended places for us to watch the Superbowl! Only negatives are that our room smelled of mildew when we checked in (they thoroughly cleaned it the next day when we asked) and the "heated pool" was not warm enough to comfortably swim in. Otherwise a lovely hotel with a lovely staff.

Fantastic hotel that is so convenient to the ski slopes in Niseko. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children and the apartment suited us perfectly. It is a truly ski in - ski out hotel. The apartment is extremely well appointed and the included lockers in the basement are perfect for storing ski gear.

Ski in and Ski out 的酒店就是个方便，加上临近繁忙的十字路口，到哪里都可步行。酒店的设计比较温馨，有质感。服务人员亲切有理，尤其一位来自台湾的接待叫Rosa，有她的细心热诚的服务让我们所有人都很备受照顾，整体体验超级棒！

The Vale was amazing. Very expensive but you get what you pay for. Our two-bedroom apartment was huge (circa 120 sqm I reckon) and fully self-contained. Location was super convenient and very cosy. Highly recommended if your budget allows.

The room is fantastic. Initially booked the 3 bedroom private onsen but was undet maintenance so the hotel upgraded us to a fantastic mt yotei view 3 bedroom. It was wonderful. Will definetely return again.

Location is extremely convenient for me to have snowboarding and overall service is excellent. But I think the breakfast can improve a bit.

View from the room and the distance to skii lift is fantastic. Hot water in bathroom hot for a while, cold for a while, very unpredictable and made showering not pleasant at all, and this happens in all the shower room in the unit I stayed in. Many bugs in the room, most of it dead, looks like house keeping didn't see underneath the sofa chairs. I stayed for 10 days, they only cleaned the room every 2 days, 1st and 3rd day they replenish the amenities for the facial lotion that comes in a small bag, after that, seems like they don't keep up the standard to replenish anymore. Concierge doesn't seems professional enough to know their maps well, each time I ask for nearby food, no particular brand, maybe just ask nearest ramen store, they have to take 20-30mins to see the map to give an answer.. dryer in unit is a very old model and old brand, you can smell the burnt smell on your hair after using it, for a 5 star hotel, I would really expected more on the standard. Feeling from this hotel.. everything is a no, there's no leeway, should be more accommodating and more open to customers to provide a better service and happy customers so that they will come back again in future.
