Holiday Niseko Ori

An older hotel that is very comfortable and welcoming. Away from all the noise and distractions at Hirafu, this place is for those who just want to ski and relax. Friendly staff, nice facilities and reasonable prices. You can rent your equipment there, and ski directly in and out of the hotel - so no need to deal with anything else. The buffet is a great deal, both in the morning and evening, with plenty to choose from. That said, it doesn't appear to change much, so it might be a bit monotonous after a few nights. There isn't much in the way of restaurants or shops near the hotel, so maybe not the best location for people looking for variety. Perfect for people like us, who just want to ski and would rather avoid being part of the "trendier" places.

Great hotel. Friendly + helpful staff. Saved my butt when I got stuck in town and couldn’t catch a cab back - they called a cab to come pick me up. Breakfast is good. Loved the onsen. Right at the base of the mountain. Convenience store has snacks, alc, winter/skiing and snowboarding gear, souvenirs, basic meds. Bus routes from the airport and to get between different sections of the mountain all stop here. Worth a stay 🤙

Location is the end of the road so a bit far for summer activities. Common areas are species but rooms are clean but warn out with wear and tear. More like motel rooms.Onsen need some work. Breakfast is great! Really good verity buffet.
