The staff were friendly and super helpful. The hotel was quite clean. The free shuttle and full breakfast were great. We ate dinner there every night-inexpensive and delicious. The ski locker was huge and was perfect for drying out wet skis and gear. Totally planning on staying here on our next trip.

Great environment. Also it’s a great place for deals on food because other places around there excluding convenience stores are expensive. My room was great size with a big bed, the shower and electrical are also in great working condition despite the harsh winter weather I experienced. And the crew were also very helpful with the questions I had asked.Can’t wait to stay here again!

The room was clean and breakfast each morning was great. Maybe one comment I have is that for a hostel that claims to be eco-friendly, more could be done (e.g. heaters in the rooms are way too hot, laundry machines are old, etc). Some improvements could be made on that end to be even more sustainable, but overall we had a great stay!

Great budget option for skiing Niseko. Convenient shuttle options to the slopes and a 7-11 store across the street. Worked well for our family of four adults to share a quadruple with 2 bunk beds. Shared and very clean bathrooms were available. Also enjoyed the free breakfast. Highly recommend!

Booked the Double or Twin Room for my 3 day 2 night stay at MyEcoLodge. The stay was very welcoming. They provided shuttle pickup service to/from Kutchan JR Station which is very convenient. The breakfast was mediocre, it serves normal food such as bread with butter/jam, coffee and water (no tea option) as well as hot food with salad. One downside about the stay is they don’t provide tissue in the room and mineral water bottle but I guess it is due to their effort in sustainability. There is a 7eleven minimart right opposite the hotel and it is also the Niseko shuttle bus service pickup point to Grand HIRAFU Welcome Center. Will definitely booked this hotel again if I am coming back to Grand HIRAFU for Snowboading.

The staff were amazing! Best price in town. We took the shuttle every morning and then walked back after skiing. The breakfast was free and I decided to skip it but the Ramon restaurant at night was really tasty. Our skis were safe and in a warmed locker. Really wonderful overall.

Overall great value

Super clean room and friendly staff. Only two minor complaints: 1. The wifi in the room is super slow. 2. The auto check-in/check-out system doesn’t work during off hours. So if you plan to do late check-in or early check out, let the staff know beforehand, or cal them using the phone at the entrance.

We booked a 4n stay here during ski season and had a very good experience. Rooms were very clean and comfy, the heater was so awesome and we opened the windows slightly to regulate the temperature. Food wise, the hotel's breakfast is very humble but acceptable and given that it's difficult to go out in the snow and nothing is very walkable in Niseko, we had most of our dinners at the in house cafe. Great ramen during cold snowy nights. If you're lacking anything, an awesome 711 is literally opposite the lodge so you can get many ready meal options there. Service wise, the staff are as helpful as they can get and will do their best to help. Good English speaking capabilities too. In terms of location, this is fairly near Hirafu but is in btwn Hirafu and Hanazono. During peak season, the jam from Hirafu back here will easily take 1h drive but without traffic, it could be as short as 10 mins. If you're intending to go to Annapuri or Niseko Village, it will take minimally about 40 mins by public bus which stops right outside the lodging. Lastly, if you're going to Niseko to ski, this is a good place to stay at because it has a huge ski locker on the first floor for your boots and skis/boards etc once you get back it's located literally next to a great rental called Good Sports. The only disappointing factor abt the hotel is that they explicitly state they have a shuttle to Hirafu but this wasn't operating when we arrived despite the fact that ski season was in full swing

Friendly hotel ~1.5 miles from Niesko Hirafu

MY Ecolodge was comfortable and had many friendly guests. My boyfriend and I made some friends even during our one night stay. This hotel has a laid-back and welcoming vibe. The hotel is styled in a modern way and focuses on sustainability. It was a little on the pricey side so I'm not sure if we'd stay here again, but the price is typical (maybe even on the low side) for Niseko. While MY Ecolodge is close to Niseko Hirafu, it's is still a bit of a walk. It was dumping the night we stayed there so it was a little to far for us to walk to nearby bars and restaurants. However, it was only about a $7 cab ride from the bars in the area at the end of the night. On a bluebird day I'm sure it would be an easy walk to the resort with all of your gear.
