Kutchan Hotels with Gym

The stay at the Park Hyatt will remain a particularly positive memory for us, even though the arranged pick-up from Sapporo station required some patience and nerves. The initial annoyance was compensated not only by the great attention and care of the driver, but also by the very professional complaint management of the guest relations manager. As for the rest of the stay, the hotel impresses with its architecture, tasteful furnishings and a service team that excelled in cordiality and sincere efforts to read the guests' wishes from their lips. The leisure activities are great, and I would particularly like to mention the Zip Flight and Tree Trekking. I have one suggestion for the reception - when asking about walks, don't just mention the short walks in the area, but offer more detailed advice on additional walks and places of interest. All in all, the stay was a special occasion for us and we look forward to perhaps visiting Park Hyatt Hokkaido again in the winter.

This hotel delivers more than expected! Usually the websites over promise and under deliver however this was the other way around! As others have mentioned rooms are quite small but completely adequate, the only thing we could suggest would be to offer coffee & tea in the room (there is a kettle & fridge). Bathroom has toileteries which are decent quality. Room was warm and thus ski clothes were dried well. There is good storage for ski equipment and a lovely small gym with good quality kit (open 24/7) All staff were very friendly and knowledgable about the area giving good instructions and suggestions for places to eat. There is a shuttle service to the town but it is also a pleasant walk (without ski gear!) The small convenience store on site is ok but a little expensive (although this is independant of the hotel) Breakfast is plentiful, everything fresh and inviting to eat - there is an egg station where you can get eggs any which way. The diner us surprisingly good - a small menu but made to order and like breafast very fresh. The bar does happy hour and some lovely cocktails :) There is a ”common room” whereby you can cook for yourself - this would be good if travelling in a group. Overall a great mid priced (low for the area!) hotel

My family and I stayed at Setsu for 8 nights in January 2024. We shared a one bedroom suite which worked perfectly for a family of four. The amenities in the room were excellent, having a washer and dryer in the room was very helpful. The room alone gets five stars. The location of the hotel is ok. It was handy having Lawsons across the road and food trucks and restaurants nearby (though sidewalks were pretty icy and not great to walk on at night). The ramen restaurant in the hotel is great, the food is tasty and its relatively affordable. The hotel could do with another lower cost food option as there was normally a long queue to get in. We ate at Luke's in the hotel one night. The service was excellent. But it was way over-priced. Some fried fish, a side of chips and a burger cost about $A180. The burger was good and given the location I didn't mind paying $A50 for it, but the fish at $A95 was pretty ordinary (oily and very salty). The cheapest bottle of wine was $A200. Breakfast was ok but not great - some freshly cooked egg options would have been nice. The snow was great - but a couple of days the top slopes were closed due to wind. This meant the queues down the bottom were very long. The ski school was a good way to jump the queues - but worth being aware that only Go Snow gets this at grand hirafu - rhythm doesn't get to jump any queues, and NISS at Hanazano only. The shuttle bus to the slopes was ok. We never had to wait too long but it was a bit awkward having to take skis onboard the bus. There is also a walk up to the gondola from the bus stop - its pretty short normally, but can take 20 minutes if the gondola queue is long. By contrast the Park Hyatt has a quick ski down to the Hanazano lifts which looked like a much easier way to get going - though there isn't much around apart from the hotel. Overall it feels like the volume of people at Niseko has over-stretched the other infrastructure. So not sure if we'd go back.

The room is huge and comes with a kitchen and living area. They have all the utensils and equipments if you want to cook. Came here during autumn so can't comment on the convenience of travelling to the skiing spot. The parking garage is under the building so it was convenient.

I want to give top marks for customer recovery for Chalet Ivy. I booked five nights there for a Feb ski trip in october 2022. It was confirmed by Agoda, the booking agglomeration site. But 3 weeks before the trip, they claimed they couldn’t find the booking and had to cancel the booking. The fault seemed to lay with their 3rd party wholesaler for rooms. With sky high costs and low availability at this stage, I freaked out. But Vladi the reservations officer from Chalet Ivy manager managed to re-book me in albeit at a slightly higher price- offset by the compensation I received from Agoda. We even had an upgrade to a Mt Yotei view room. Great save. Also a shoutout to front reception staff like Rou Hong who was so helpful. All in a great experience staying at the Chalet Ivy

We loved our room, the private onsen and the close proximity to the slopes the main town and the activities we chose for our stay. We are especially grateful to Aiden and Oscar in the Ski Valet who were super helpful and friendly fellow Aussies, and special thanks to Jace the concierge who was very informative and friendly. The Aya Kitchen really let the hotel down though. The restaurant doesn’t match the high end feel of the hotel. There were boxes and junk around the periphery of the room and the whole feel isn’t as intimate as the rest of the hotel. The food didn’t meet expectations and the menu choice was disappointing. That being said, I would consider staying again.

This was my third stay at The Maples, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. This time I came with just my boyfriend instead of with family, so handled most of the logistics myself. I really relied on help from the staff and The Maples, before, during and after my trip! Even a month before my trip, I got a lot of help with transportations, ski passes etc through emailing with the staff, who were always so prompt to reply and very friendly. During my stay, they also helped me a lot with dinner reservations etc. Every request or question I had was met with a friendly smile. Of course, I enjoyed the location again immensely. It was great to be able to walk to many of the stores and restaurants, and to also ski in and out. This time I also rented a car and parking at the Maples was always available and easy. The hotel was always bright and clean. My onlyyyy complaint if I had to mention was that my room did not have black out curtains... so I was woken up pretty early every morning by the natural sunlight!! But, this actually helped me to get up there on the slopes bright and early, so a perk after all!

My stay at Sansui Niseko was absolutely unforgettable! Set at the top of the main road in Niseko, the location couldn’t be better, with a spectacular view of Mount Yotei that’s especially breathtaking in the mornings. The room itself was incredibly spacious, with multiple bedrooms and a sleek, modern architectural design. Each bathroom had its own private ofuro (Japanese bath), adding a wonderful touch of Japanese luxury and relaxation to the stay. One of the best parts was our private onsen time, where we could truly unwind. Dinner at the onsite restaurant was also a real highlight - the sushi, prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, was phenomenal, easily some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Many thanks to Lily, Amelia, and the entire team; the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. While Niseko in the autumn is quieter, it’s a peaceful time to admire the beautiful foliage. Despite the serene atmosphere, the onsite café (open until 9) and souvenir shop kept things lively and convenient. Plus, the 24/7 fitness center was impressively well-equipped, a great bonus. Overall, every moment of my stay at Sansui Niseko was perfect, and I look forward to visiting again soon!

I stayed for the consecutive holidays in October. When you enter the hotel, you can see Mt. Yotei beautifully in front of the lounge, which is a masterpiece. It is a small inn with 18 rooms. There are two types of guest rooms, Yama no Ma and Mizu no Ma, and this time we stayed in the Mizu no Ma. There was a semi-open-air hot spring between the bedroom, living room, and tatami mats. My impression was that it was spacious and had a lot of closets. However, since it was the room on the Mt. Yotei side, which was the furthest from the main building, the view of Mt. Yotei from the room was subtle because it was a low-rise building. The open-air bath is large enough for 2 to 3 people, and it is a luxury. I was also impressed with the food this time. I ate at the iron plate counter and Japanese cuisine (Japanese cuisine counter) instead of the dining room on both days, but I was surprised that there were two counters at a ryokan of this size. The teppanyaki was delicious, but the Japanese food was very high quality and I was able to enjoy a meal that I can't easily find in the city. It is impression that quantity of breakfast is few (because there are many elderly visitors?) if we say forcibly. I have stayed at Zaborin, Park Hyatt Niseko, Ritz-Carlton Reserve Niseko and this area in the past, but this is my favorite accommodation in this area.
