It was opened in 2009 but it looks younger because it is in excellent condition and is very clean. With good amenties eg microwave and kettle. I also like it because it is right next to one of the lift and ski school, you wouldnt want to walk back to hotel after skiing for one whole day! Overall good value for money!

Our stay at the Vale Niseko was wonderful. The staff was friendly, attentive and went above and beyond to make our vacation as smooth and easy as possible. They even recommended places for us to watch the Superbowl! Only negatives are that our room smelled of mildew when we checked in (they thoroughly cleaned it the next day when we asked) and the "heated pool" was not warm enough to comfortably swim in. Otherwise a lovely hotel with a lovely staff.

Fantastic Apartment
Fantastic hotel that is so convenient to the ski slopes in Niseko. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children and the apartment suited us perfectly. It is a truly ski in - ski out hotel. The apartment is extremely well appointed and the included lockers in the basement are perfect for storing ski gear.

Convenient, Great Staff, Comfortable Rooms
Great hotel and super helpful staff. They organized everything from ski rentals to transfers from Sapporo which is what we would expect given the price point. The room was comfortable with great amenities. It was always just very hot in the room and we couldn’t control the temperature. Otherwise super convenient location right next to a ski lift with rentals on site.. II would definitely stay there again.

Not Really 5 Star...
If you're looking for a hotel on par with the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton, the Vale Niseko is NOT it. The Vale leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, the front reception desk isn't even open 24 hrs a day. They go home at 10 pm. This isn't really a ski-in, ski-out facility either. You have to climb a rather slippery slope to actually get up to the lift. It would have been very helpful to have a ski valet, but don't be looking for the ski valet. There isn't one. You have to self-serve your own skis and boots from your cramped, dingy locker. The locker room is dark and spartan. There aren't even padded seats. They only have a few scattered very hard, very tiny stools on which for you to precariously balance while you try to stuff your feet into your stiff boots. The rooms are clean but dated. The beds are comfortable. The Vale touts its onsite onsen, but it wasn't at all relaxing. Every afternoon, loud and obnoxious tourists would come in and totally ruin the tranquility. It was disappointing that the Vale staff didn't enforce the rules. It was quite disgusting to see these people in the onsen with bikinis and underwear on. Unfortunately, there isn't much choice in Niseko in terms of luxury accommodations. It does seem though that there is much new construction happening. The Maples appears to be truly a ski-in, ski out facility. Hopefully it will be available by the time we visit again.
