Kutchan hotels

If I had to choose just one word to describe my experience at the Niseko Freedom Inn, I would seriously be hard pressed between choosing 'brilliant' or 'wonderful'. In essence, I am leaning towards wonderful in every sense. It would be utterly unfair to put it in the same ranks of some of the larger resort establishments in the area. Niseko Freedom Inn sits in its own distinctive and beautifully unique niche. My first encounter began with the sign at the entrance - Old Fashioned Style. This is not just attributed to the aesthetics, but is also to an alluring charm. It is good old fashioned awesomeness. Any travel experience is enriched by the people you meet. This is especially true with the staff at the Inn. My stay here was unlike anywhere else I have stayed. The staff really welcomed me more like a part of their family, rather than a guest. The warm, personal comfort and familial atmosphere at the Niseko Freedom Inn really does make you feel at home, albeit a surrogate one. Whilst not located in the hubbub of Hirafu Village or Annupuri, the Inn is just a stone's throw away from the slopes of Hanazono. Complete with its own ski/snowboard school, equipment rental, shuttle buses to Hirafu, F&B options - you really cannot ask for a better and quieter location. After a day in the pow of Niseko Hanazono's glorious powder snow, nothing beats coming "home" to a warm welcome by your surrogate family at Niseko Freedom Inn! That is my idea of a chillaxing holiday. Loved it!

Niseko Hilton hotel provides the best location and facilities for skiers.

near enough to lifts and drop off to walk, breakfast was enough to last me through a day on the mountain, lift pass and rental discounts very happy customer :)

We really enjoyed our stay at Powder Tracks 5B. The staff at HT Holidays was wonderful and very helpful. They gave us restaurant recommendations, helped us with our giant bags and even gave us a lift to the train station at the end of our stay. The condo had free laundry which was awesome! They also had Sky/satellite TV so we could watch some english-language news (which is nice during a long trip overseas). Big bathroom, serviceable mini-kitchen, comfortable beds. Would definitely stay there again! We went during the fall but it looks like it's right in the middle of the action for ski season!

Please see below for what I liked and didn't like about the hotel. Overall really liked it and would go back for the combination of room quality and location. Breakfast was also great.

* professional, efficient, friendly staff * convenient location very near the welcome Centre, ski lift, restaurants nearby and a convenience store just opposite * clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms * well maintained ski and snowboard equipments available at ski concierge located at basement * hotel provided pickups to and from welcome Centre and even to ski slopes at short notice
