Niseko Freedom Inn

Was in Kutchan for X Mas between 22 to 24 Dec. Location is a bit remoted however the Staffs initiative are "great" to improve this situation. They are very friendly, trying hard to arrange free transportation to and from your destination and very patient to explain and answer our question, obviously, we are stranger in Kutchan. We can feel their cheerful and helpful approaches are truly from their heart, it is very important for hotel industry and they really made the difference. Please keep it up :-) Benjamin Lee

待旅客都像家人，朋友般的親切，在行程安排上提供很棒的服務和接送，過程中雖然遇到些訂房的問題，但很快速的幫我們收拾好東西並換房～非常開心又舒適的住宿體驗呦

Pleasant stay throughout, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is quite isolated, except that if you plan to go to Hanazono ski resort, then this hotel is perfect, as the hotel shuttle would send you there in the morning and pick you up about 4pm. After 4:30pm, the hotel shuttle could bring you to the restaurant or place you like with prior arrangement. It worked out perfectly to us, as the hotel was not too busy during our stay. When the hotel is full of guests, I am not sure it could work to everyone. As we left during the time in the morning the shuttle was reserved to bring the guests to go to Hanazono ski resort, we took the taxi to the nearby JR station. So, be prepared for it if you are leaving around that time.

호텔보다 팬션이라고 해야 어울릴듯. 주변이 숲으로 둘러싸여 아늑하고 좋다. 세탁실도 있고 건물 실내도 유럽풍 인테리어라서 느낌이 많이 다름. 여름 비성수기라서 그런지 상당히 낮은 가격도 만족스럽다. 하지만 욕실이 너무 작고 실내도 낡아보이는게 단점. 헤어드라이기도 없고 설명에 실내에 온천이 있다고 하는데 없다. 아침 식사는 유럽풍이라는 식빵과 계란, 샐러드가 전부라 좀 부족한 느낌.

room was cleaned and breakfast is just nice.

The Freedom Inn is not the typical B&B for Japan! For starters, the majority of the staff are non-Japanese and the complimentary breakfast is definitely "western"! The location is good, just a couple minutes drive from the 308 facility (lifts, magic carpets, equipment rental, dining facility). And the staff of the Inn will drive you to the 308 and back morning and late afternoon. If I was being critical, the rooms are a bit small, and a rotating breakfast menu would have been nice. But for the price, it's not bad! Location wise, it's good for hitting the slopes and definitely quiet. But if you want to walk to town, then this is not the place for you (although that's not much of an issue if you are ski/snowboarding all day, and are looking to go to town for dinner.... because the staff will drive you round trip to town every evening to the dining location of your choice). Hard to beat that kind of hospitality...

If I had to choose just one word to describe my experience at the Niseko Freedom Inn, I would seriously be hard pressed between choosing 'brilliant' or 'wonderful'. In essence, I am leaning towards wonderful in every sense. It would be utterly unfair to put it in the same ranks of some of the larger resort establishments in the area. Niseko Freedom Inn sits in its own distinctive and beautifully unique niche. My first encounter began with the sign at the entrance - Old Fashioned Style. This is not just attributed to the aesthetics, but is also to an alluring charm. It is good old fashioned awesomeness. Any travel experience is enriched by the people you meet. This is especially true with the staff at the Inn. My stay here was unlike anywhere else I have stayed. The staff really welcomed me more like a part of their family, rather than a guest. The warm, personal comfort and familial atmosphere at the Niseko Freedom Inn really does make you feel at home, albeit a surrogate one. Whilst not located in the hubbub of Hirafu Village or Annupuri, the Inn is just a stone's throw away from the slopes of Hanazono. Complete with its own ski/snowboard school, equipment rental, shuttle buses to Hirafu, F&B options - you really cannot ask for a better and quieter location. After a day in the pow of Niseko Hanazono's glorious powder snow, nothing beats coming "home" to a warm welcome by your surrogate family at Niseko Freedom Inn! That is my idea of a chillaxing holiday. Loved it!

Le personnel est super et toujours disponible.

友人達との北海道旅行で利用されて頂きました☆ ニセコには初めて行って、今回は一泊だけでしたが、次回は冬スポーツをしに長めに滞在したいと思います(^^) ホテルも清潔で快適に過ごせました☆ 朝食も美味しく、夜はロビーの暖炉前で珈琲を飲みながらゲームも楽しめました＼(^o^)／ 是非また来年に訪れたいと思います(^^) ありがとうございました(^^)

Bra läge om man bara vill åka skidor. Däremot långt bort från restauranger osv. Personalen är ett gäng övervintrade japan-freaks utan nån stenkoll på läget. Dom lovade att fixa massa grejer men det rann bara ut i sanden. Mögel i duschen men förutom det helt ok skick.
