7月に宿泊しました。とても清潔感のあるホテルです。無駄なものがない。宿泊費は2人で8千円でした。ニセコでこの値段は破格です。 エアコンがないので、ニセコは涼しいところですが、窓が開けられず（網戸がなく虫が入ってくるため）締め切っていると暑く感じました。扇風機は一応ありますが。暖房はしっかりありそうです。値段でのことを考えるととても良かったです

Located in quiet area. Shuttle service is very good. For a fairly new building there are some disappointments in terms of comfort; Heating in the room is poorly controlled and showers are not equipped with pressure static valves maintaining constant temperature.

Overall, a pleasant experience. My main complaint relates to the cleaning service, which was not thorough at all. For example, dead winter bugs in plain sight were not removed during my 10-day stay.

Average stay

We were quite disappointed by our stay at Always Niseko given the premium we paid for a tiny room without any space for our suitcases. There was housekeeping 1 time during our 8 night stay. Reception staff not overly service minded or happy. Restaurant was only open for breakfast so no place to have a drink in the evening. We would just have expected a bit more given how much we paid to stay here over the NYE period. Breakfast served between 6.30-9.30am and the breakfast staff were lovely.
