Niseko Side 6

Really close to the Annupuri gondola, good value for its price. You can cook your own food in the kitchen, rooms are always warm and cozy, you can use Yamato (kuroneko) to send your stuff to/from the property.

Some of the sinks don’t have hot running water, but of course the shower/bath and kitchen have hot running water.

Location was amazing, 5 minute walk to Annupuri gondola and rental facilities. The kitchen has everything you need. Showers are really good. Comfortable beds.

Maybe heating in the restrooms, could be quite cold in there.

It was really good. I had to take off a star because the mattress was too thin and I didn't love the bathrooms. I had to sleep on top of my duvet to be comfortable. I recommend going to the onsen in iroha (10 mins walk), and the breakfast buffet in the Northern Resort (15 mins walk, 3000 yen). Also really liked the coffee house next door and the tap room bar. For me there was no problem that there was no dining options in the hostel.

Clean amenities, comfortable beds, cosy living area, friendly owner and an excellent location. Close to the ski area, bus, and central to many restaurants. Also the coffee next door is great. Overall it was a pleasure to stay at side 6.

La ubicación del hotel es excelente, caminando a 5 minutos de la base de Annupuri. La gente siempre con muy buena onda, ideal si vas solo para poder encontrar compañeros de sky y snow.

La cama la verdad que muy finita como dormir en la madera. Y no hay lugares cerca tipo mercados para comprarte cosas recomiendo llevarte de ante mano ya que la cocina es súper grande y tiene de todo.

Private space in the dorm was nice, cozy and very comfortable. Pleasant experience staying there. Value for money and recommended. Short distance to Annurpuri.

The toilets don't have warm water. Only warm water is in the showers. But not deal breaker.

The owner does a good job of cleaning up the shared areas daily.

Niseko Side 6 was a disappointing experience. The shared areas were uncomfortably cold (around 6°C), and the men's bathroom had a strong smell of urine. Unlike other hostels I've stayed at, this was the only one where my food was stolen—twice. The kitchen setup is also poor, with food stored near the entrance due to the small fridge. The atmosphere wasn’t great either, with lots of loud teenagers and poor soundproofing. The mattress was also terrible—I could feel the springs digging into my back, making it hard to sleep. To make things worse, there are no nearby grocery stores—the closest place to buy groceries is in Grand Hirafu, which requires a 45-minute bus ride each way and costs 1,400 yen round trip. Given all these issues, I don’t understand why the reviews are so positive.

really solid location 5-10 min walk right to lift Solid room in kitchen to chef up grub.

make sure to have a towel before you come. That's really all
