Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Always Niseko.

Brutalist Architecture, friendly staff
Ian Weetch
28th May 2026
We loved the laid back vibe at Always. Staff are super friendly and helpful, rooms are comfortable and an excellent buffet breakfast is offered in a sociable setting - this would work well for solo travellers . Always is about 15 mins walk to restaurants or the hotel shuttle runs regularly. They serve decent ramen here too if you don't wish to venture out in an evening.
Sara Donnelly
1st May 2026
Basic clean, hotel that was probably more equivalent to a higher status Hostel than a hotel. Rooms were of a good standard with en-suite bathrooms. Room kettle for your own use. Breakfast was a basic affair with mixture of Western/Asian foods. So take your pick from scrambled eggs, toast to Miso soup , rice and noodles. Evening meal was available for a cost but this was all closed down 3 weeks be…

Kate Hargrave
21st February 2026
The accommodation was great for a solo boarder, it had everything I needed. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly.

16th February 2026
This is a skiers hotel. It has a modern urban vibe. No fuss. Really clean, great bed linen and bathrooms. Don’t worry that it is half a mile from the village - the hotel buses are frequent and very reliable. And the night time walk up to the village is magic and takes no time. The breakfast is fantastic and you can eat as much as you like. We didn’t try the evening meal.
James Gopsill
28th January 2026
Excellent shuttle bus service with frequent runs, staff were friendly. Breakfast was ok, but the evening options and bar were great. It was great being able to leave the ski equipment with the hotel for pick-up at the end of our stay. Rooms were comfortable but layout of the bathroom was inconvenient.

Much closer than we expected to the resort

Warm, comfortable. Good breakfast.
Nicholas Farnell
23rd January 2023
A mix of stylish Japanese minimalism and industrial steampunk corridors make for a clean and comfortable stay. A short 5 min walk to the family chair and a good breakfast spread were also positives. Only downside is the lack of lockers in the ski room and being quite crowded for breakfast.
