forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.38 out of 5 (98 reviews). In reviews from families, guests mention the ample storage that keeps luggage off the floor, how much the children loved the bunk bed, and the shared kitchen where simple cooking is possible. Guests also praise the separate toilet and bath. On the other hand, some guests who stayed with breakfast were critical of its taste and variety, and others point out that the shower's hot water flow is low. All of these reviews date from when the hotel operated as Midtown Niseko.

Each bathroom comes with either a bathtub or a shower, so if you want to bathe a baby or toddler in a bathtub, please check when booking.
