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.

The hotel was comfortable clean, great view of the mountains. Truly a ski in and out location. Ski lockers on basement floor, you put your skis on and ski down to the family lift, you can get your lift tickets there or online ahead of time. From that lift you can go up to the other lifts. Beginner runs here but with access, to red and black . We loved it would definitely return and recommend. Many of restaurants available in hotel but walking distance. Many rental shops also available nearby.

Lovely property and staff. However, there is a overwhelming sulfuric/sewage smell issue, particularly in the bedrooms and the water that comes from the bathtub in the suite. The only solution is propping windows and doors open at all times.

Though the smell may be attributable to the neighboring onsen facilities, the smell is too strong to be acceptable. If the Maples could figure out how to fix this, it would be a perfect stay.

Comfortable, Friendly, Convenient

The Maples Niseko is a beautiful accommodation with very attentive and friendly staff. We stayed for 1 week here and really enjoyed our time. The rooms were spacious, very clean and filled with amenities such as a dishwasher, rice cooker, kettle, chiller and freezer and a washer/dryer. The ski in/ski out was very convenient going to the lifts and coming back to the Maples with no extra walking required. The ski lockers are clean and spacious with enough room for multiple people’s gear in one locker. If you book rental equipment with Rhythm they have a special drop off area with a QR code to return for gear for you for ease of use, rather than carrying it all back. Loved our stay here and would definitely come back!

What a wonderful place to stay, the staff are super friendly and are very helpful, the view from our room was superb, the easy of ski in and out was awesome with the ace quad just metre down a green run, no need to walk up to the lifts, then up the ace gondola to the other lifts. The apartment amenities were first rate, room sounds proof so it was nice and quiet. I highly recommend the maples

We stayed at the 2 BR penthouse, which has breathtaking views of Mount Toya from all rooms. You get to soak in that image to your heart’s content. A definite highlight of our trip. You can also watch the sunrise from all windows.
The hotel is modern and stylish and everything is new and in pristine condition.
Because we came in spring, the hotel was almost empty, and there wasn’t anyone at the front desk, which was a little lonely. The hotel restaurant was closed, as were many others (even if it says open in search engines).
My only suggestion to them is that out of the 4 pillows in each bed, they have two tall and two soft/flattish ones for belly sleepers. All 4 pillows in both beds were hard and tall, so I had sleep without.

True ski in ski out property! Ski lifts right outside hotel door. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite for 6 nights. In room washing machine was super helpful since we were traveling with kids. Close to restaurants and shopping. Hotel provided transport from hotel to Hirafu Welcome center which is where our shuttle bus from Chitose Airport dropped us off at.

Booking ski/snowboard lessons with the hotel

Be careful with booking your ski/ snowboard lessons and make sure to get all the details. I booked the wrong lesson by mistake and concierge informed me that they will look into changing it to the correct one. They came back saying that everything has been settled and that there was no action needed on my part. When I left the hotel, the staff started chasing me saying that I need to pay 15,000 yen for the lesson change. I was not aware nor informed about this. I had ask them to investigate the matter and they found out at the end that I did not need to pay any fee for changing the lesson. I think it is still a huge miss from the staff asking me to pay something without looking into all the details first. Aside from that, lovely stay at The Maples.

Had an incredible stay at The Maples Niseko with my family. This apartment-like resort deserves all the praise:

1. Perfect location, just a few minutes' walk to the base of Hirafu, where we had our ski lessons. The street is lined with plenty of restaurants and shops.

2. The resort staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Kayne, Brendon, and others who went above and beyond, offering food recommendations and even helping with carrying our skis to the lockers.

3. The collaboration with Rhythm Ski Gear rental is fantastic. The pick-up and drop-off service for ski equipment rental made our experience even more convenient.

4. The rooms are nothing short of amazing – beautiful, spacious, and fully equipped with household amenities like a personal washing machine with dryer and kitchen facilities. It truly felt like a home away from home.

5. Even on our departure day, the resort exceeded our expectations by sending us to the train station when the taxi company was fully booked.

The Maples is hands down one of the best vacation accommodations we've experienced. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back on our next visit to Niseko!

Best Hotel in Niseko

We were in Niseko for skiing. This is in my opinion a very large, clean apartment, the ski lift is just there, right outside the apartment. The room has a washing machine. The only one missing is the onsen, however you can fine great onsen at the neighbouring hotel.

Prepare breakfast yourself :)

We had a nice stay here, where the hotel acts like a serviced apartment. Excellent location and truly ski-in and ski-out. Our room rate was expensive but I guess everywhere in Niseko is expensive. The only disappointing point is that breakfast is not served in this establishment. (Need to sort that out yourself).

My family stayed in Maples for 5 nights in a 3 bedroom for its convenient ski in ski out location with full kitchen. Unfortunately, even though we expected some hiccups in a new hotel, the level of service and amenities provided are subpar and underwhelming. It is not worthy of its premium cost. First of all, the 3 bedroom is more like a 2 + 1, with the smallest room not even enough to house 2 futons. 1/4 of my futon is squashed against the thin sliding door, which we have to lift up everytime when opening the door to avoid the horrible scraping sound.

Secondly, there are 2 rooms with thin and slightly transparent sliding doors, providing little privacy for people who need to change for their silhouettes can be seen. There are also no locks provided for such doors.

Thirdly, housekeeping is horribly sloppy. For 6 nights, we were provided with 2 housekeeping services. The first housekeeping looked like our rooms were barely touched, with no replenishment of toiletries and futons not made up. I've have had much superior housekeeping services in 3 star hotels in Japan so this reflects poor training.

Fourth, the quality in hospitality training among the staff is inconsistent and lean towards being inexperienced overall. A particular distasteful incident occured also due to a lack of customer-centric attitude. 3 days before checking out, we requested at the reception for late check out - and the working personnel verbally agreed, mentioning that it wouldn't be a problem.

NIce view !

It's a tidy place to stay close to the lift chairs & nice view.
About the dry room & storage, no as connivence as most of the ski in-out resort but just enough. There's not enough warm to dry the gears over night.....
