Independent Kaikawa hotels

"Ski slopes were so easy"

"Nice stay, very close to Hirafu Welcome area and ski resort, staff were nice gave us early check in however they did made a mistake telling us that check in is at 1pm when its actually 3pm. Our room has a private onsen facing Mt Yotei which is great"

"Perfect for a solo traveler looking to ski/snowboard Niseko United. "

"This hotel is well located well maintained but you should forget Japanese hospitality. One of the most arrogant attitude i have ever experienced in any hotel. Check in lady was the worst then shift manager lady was no help. "

"There’s very poor communication from the hotel. The hotel didn’t specify that there are specific timings for the shuttle. After I booked my train tickets and tried to arrange the shuttle pickup, then the hotel told me I had to be at the station at certain time. I had to change my train booking. When I booked the hotel, I booked with breakfast for 2 adults and a 6 year old child. Somehow, the breakfast that the hotel received was for a 3 year old child. The restaurant insisted I had to pay extra for the child because the age was wrong. I decided then that I’ll not have breakfast and only 2 pax will have breakfast. I then asked to sit together while they have breakfast and the restaurant would not even allow me to sit there even though I do not take anything. The mess up and the inflexibility totally spoiled any impression of the hotel. I booked a premium suite with twin beds. Although the room was spacious, the twin beds were just 3 feet which was very surprising for a 4 star hotel. The hotel is located out of the way without any play area so we have to travel to other ski areas even to have fun in the snow. If you want to stay in this hotel, I recommend having a car to access the places to enjoy. I do need to mention some of the reception staff were quite polite and helpful and the shuttle drivers were especially helpful and nice. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel as I’m sure there are better hotels. I would not choose this hotel on my future visits to Hokkaido "

"Close to the slopes and offer bus to the lifts. "

"Very small room for 3 people with 3 suitcases, could barely move in the room, bathroom also very small. Cost of breakfast very expensive."

"Ski slope shuttles came every 15min and were great. Breakfast was good. Rooms were well designed for storage and very clean. Huge bonus was heated radiator in room for drying wet ski equipment. Ski equipment storage room for skis and boots was very warm and convenient on ground floor next to bus pickup. "

"Wonderful hotel with excellent, large well provisioned rooms. TVs connected to streaming services. True ski-in and out via magic carpet; helpful ski valet. Nice onsen, although indoor and smaller it was very private and not crowded. No convenience store on site to purchase basics but able to get drinks and make purchases at the bar. "
