It was a bit difficult to locate this hostel as it was surrounded by other properties and hills of snow. The staff were super friendly and responds to your emails promptly. There is free breakfast every morning, and they change it up everyday too. Nothing too fancy (e.g. pancakes, cereal, rice with seasoning) but hey, it's free so can't complain. There's a heated room right next to the entrance for drying your equipment which is very handy. The rooms aren't the cleanest but that's more due to the people staying in the same dorm as you, otherwise the common areas are generally very clean. There is a free shuttle service upon arriving and leaving as well, to nearby areas. Overall it was a pleasant couple of nights for me, wouldn't mind coming here again. Thank you to the lovely staff there!

すぐ近くにコンビニがあるので、キッチンで自炊できます。洗濯も出来るので良かったです。スタッフさんも感じいいし、他の宿泊されてる方々もフレンドリーでとても良かった。かなり狭い脱衣場とシャワーのみなので、湯船に浸かりたい人には厳しいかな。リフトもすぐなので、また泊まりたいお宿だと思いました。

혼자 가거나 두명이서 가면 가장 좋은 숙소라고 생각하며 주방에서 음식 직접 만들어 먹을수 있고 바로 옆 편의점 있고 외국인들과 같이 술먹을수 있는 숙소 자유롭고 모든게 다있음

Super friendly English-speaking staff made checking in a breeze and made me feel really welcome. Bunk in a 6-bed room was pretty cramped but still enough room if you're organized, and no need to spend time in the room - spacious communal lounge area with comfy sofas and big TV. Wifi was fast in the lounge area but a bit flaky in the outlying room I was in. Showers were clean, hot and powerful - essential at the end of a hard day skiing. Breakfast was different each day and always tasty. Kitchen looked decent but didn't end up using it as loads of great restaurants nearby - Tozanken ramen joint opposite was particularly good value. Ski room again pretty crowded but always managed to find space for my skis and boots at the end of the day. Location also great for skiing, almost ski in ski out - 1 minute walk to a trail down to the Family Quad lift.

Many thanks to the crew who looked after everything whilst I was doing an instructor course. Highly recommend this sweet place!

Excellent location, less than 200m to the ski lift (small slope to walk down) and ski schools. Prime location for restaurants, ski rental, coffee, bars. Opposite the hotel is a convenience store. Onsen (in a hotel 1000yen each excluding towel rental) is about 3 mins walk on the main road. Bus arriving at the welcome centre is about 10 min walk downhill. Shared bathroom and shower rooms were kept clean. Breakfast is very basic and served between 0730-0830 only. Toast/cereal/juices/tea every day plus one hot dish. (French toast/hash brown/ rice and miso soup etc) Drying room is crowded and full most the time but does the job. Stayed in the traditional Japanese style room with futon beds, so don’t expect them to be too comfortable if you are not used to them. Slight smell in the room, bit run down. Self check-in after a certain time, staff is very friendly. If you are looking at a relatively cheaper option in Hirafu with an excellent location, this is the place to be. However, you can expect it to be basic but does the job.

The location and the free breakfast were great but the floor boards are very loud and the rooms are very small. It is also hard to identify staff as there is no permanent front desk. The mattresses in our room were very average and there was only one private shower for all of the guests.

Good stay. Could do with more space in the common area... could get rid of the table tennis and put another table in there. Few too many people for the facilities there. Staff were all really nice and incredibly helpful. Was a good price and would stay again. Hirafu isn’t cheap though! Be prepared for seicomart dinners.....

location is great - staff are friendly and as far an pensions you are getting a good one. Mattress probably need a freshen up, one rock hard and the other you can feel the springs. Bathrooms are shared- but not an issue and still was perfect for our stay. breakfast was good and in general a good place to stay if you're not looking to spend ridiculous amounts on accommodation

The location of Absolute Niseko is perfect - just a couple of minutes walk from the ski fields. Restaurants and shops are all close by. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. My room (twin room) was comfortable and warm. My only negative comment is that there is only one lockable shower, so you might need to shower in the communal mens or women’s shower area (which could have done with a slightly more thorough clean). But otherwise a very enjoyable stay!

入住時沒有招待...不知道房間在哪...廁所在哪...浴室在哪...衛生環境一般...門口一地都是住客的鞋...凌亂不堪

Absolute Niseko provides very simple accommodation. If you go for the rooms with futons don't expect to sleep comfortably. The staff provided us with extra mattresses for three of us just so we could get some sleep. Staff was helpful. Simple and ok breakfast and great location with ski in ski out for the hirafu area. I guess you get what you pay for.

Great staff!! My 6 bed room was clean and facilities were OK. There was a problem with the sewage vent causing a bad odor on the basement floor that sometimes permiated up. I imagine that this could be fixed though.
