We very much enjoyed our stay at Chalet Ivy. The room was a good size and the drying cupboards were very welcome as they helped to dry out ski jackets etc. Breakfast was tasty with a good variety of choices. Staff were helpful and polite. The ski concierge and hire service was also very useful. Prices for ski hire were competitive except for helmets which were a lot cheaper to hire elsewhere eg Rhythm

The breakfast and the entire property was absolutely beautiful!! Convenient that the shuttle brings you to the mountain. The kitchen staff for the breakfast was great and also appreciate the ski concierge desk.

My only complaint is that we had an occurrence where we were laying down in our room and our door randomly opened and quickly shut. Someone clearly had access to our room which was unsettling and we never heard more after complaining to the staff.

Our only other complaint is that sometimes the staff didn't have a sense of urgency or left the customer to take care of things themselves. We needed to return our skis to Rhythm and they would not take us in the shuttle to return everything and also were not looking to help us in any regard for that manner. I think the staff could use more proper training on how to handle client inquiries and situations like someone accessing our room. Otherwise, gorgeous hotel and wonderful onsen. Overall would come back here especially when the price is right.

Everything was perfect for our ski trip

Perfectly located for accessing the slopes, 2min walk to the Ace gondola or regular shuttle bus to pop you up there.
Really friendly staff, and super helpful in the ski concierge.
So easy, arrived and our ski passes waiting for us, the ski rental équipement space just by reception. It made the ski trip so incredibly easy.
The room was great, corner 1 bedroom room, super clean, really comfy beds, spacious and with a great view of mount Yotei.
It’s within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants and cool food truck area.
Really nice buffet breakfast too and nice peaceful onsens, which were never busy.
If we came again for skiing we’d definitely stay here. Thanks for a great stay

Absolutely amazing stay! This is our first time visiting Niseko for snowboarding and coming from Canada where visiting Banff and Lake Louise multiple times is our yearly tradition, we are completely blown away by this visit. The hotel has all the amenities required for the most wonderful stay.

Breakfast has everything you can imagine, very tasty (I especially like the miso soup and healthy options available). Hirafu snowboard base is less than 5min walk up the hill and then after you can enjoy nice onsen before bedtime.

Would definitely come stay again in the future.

Everything was perfect especially the crews. They were always ready to offer their help. The breakfast was a set instead of a buffet but the variety was wide enough and it covered almost everything. No complaints. The only thing they can improve was the differences between the breakfast on the 1st and 2nd day. The breakfast was a bit cold on the 2nd day. Also, we were brought to another room for breakfast because the main room was full and the room was a bit stuffy. The staff seemed not too familiar with the set as well. I needed to tell him what was missing.

Great place to stay, room was large and comfy. Definitely hire the private onsen if you stay here. The shuttle to the ski fields is a bit hit and miss so we had to walk a few times. Buffet breakfast was amazing at this hotel and definitely a good way to start the day before skiing. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was also great as there are limited dining options in the area.

Perfect hotel in perfect location

The location is perfect whether you are at Hirafu for skiing or exploring the town. All the staff were very helpful and almost everyone spoke good english. My family had a half board package and food was excellent especially their brealfast. I will definitle go back to this hotel if i have to back in Hirafu. I cannot think of any negative concern because everything was perfect including the room, onsen and facilities. If i have to complain then it would be the price. But then we came in at peak season so all hotels in Hirafu are ridiculously high. Kudos to all the staff and management.

The hotel is conveniently located and the on-site restaurant is good, considering the difficulty in getting reservations outside. The early morning snow clearing noise of the parking lot (5:30 AM) was unappreciated. Considering the price of the hotel, it is poorly managed and service needs more training.

This has got to be one of the best hotels in Niseko Hirafu area. The hotel was amazingly comfortable and the staff were extraordinarily accommodating. They helped us celebrate our honeymoon by greeting us with a bottle of champagne, and then four days later, they celebrated my husband’s birthday with another bottle of champagne (unrequested! They just noticed his birthday on his check in information! Amazing attention to detail). The staff was always friendly and willing to help with whatever we needed.
The hotel restaurant is delicious and the hotel breakfast buffet (included with our room) has to be the best hotel breakfast we have ever enjoyed. I legitimately woke up excited to go to breakfast each morning, and I’m not typically a big breakfast eater!
The accommodations of the hotel were very comfortable. The beds left us with no complaints, the rooms completely black out with the curtains, and the housekeeping keeps everything spotless.
The location of the hotel can’t be beat. Literally a one block walk to the ski lift, but the hotel will happily shuttle you as well! As well as all the amazing restaurants in the Hirafu area just being steps away from your door.
Also, if you need to rent ski or snowboard gear, I can’t recommend the Ski Concierge at Chalet Ivy highly enough. The fleet of demo gear they have as an option is outstanding. Didn’t feel like rentals!!
If and when we visit Niseko Hirafu area again, we will definitely be back at the Chalet Ivy!

Was wow-ed the moment I stepped into the property. Small, cozy but tastefully designed. Rooms were of a decent size. Good spread for morning breakfast. Lovely, spotless in-house onsen (although it can feel a bit creepy as most times, I was the only person there. Would have been great if there was soft piped-in music, but I reckon that might not be the Japanese way).

The best parts of the property were 1) its staff especially Rou Hang. She was extremely welcoming and helpful. Our stay was made so much more pleasant and comfortable due to her. Thank you Rou Hang!;

2) the complimentary shuttle service. While close to the gondola base, it would have been tough to walk there with all our gear. The hotel also provided a scheduled shuttle service between 5.30pm-9(?)pm to the Kutchan area. This expanded our dinner options greatly as food while plentiful in Hirafu Village, was expensive and likely unavailable if you didn't make reservations months in advance!

PS: The hotel is also just a stone's throw away from Tonzanken. Best ramen in Hirafu. But be prepared to wait in line!

We stayed two nights at Chalet Ivy Hirafu. We loved it and had an amazing stay. Thank you so much for the great hospitality. It will be our go-to choice when we visit Niseko again.

The room was spacious and there were plenty of in-room amenities that are so thoughtful. The onsen was wonderful and clean, especially loved the outdoor onsen. The service was top-notched, all the staff were super helpful and the shuttle service was so convenient to bring guests back and forth the ski area or Kutchan station, it was basically on demand and not limited to a fixed schedule. Breakfast was great too and the wine vending machine was awesome. Thank you!

Domo Arigato Chalet Ivy and a hui hou

What a beautiful location, nestled right at the base of Grand Hirafu with amazing views morning noon or night. Easy 5 minute walk up the hill to the lifts or a quick shuttle ride from the hotel to the lifts or Hirafu base gondola. Convenient ski concierge for quick in and out with a ski locker. Staff was very friendly and helpful and willing to make restaurant reservations. Best to call ahead to arrange airport transportation (our shuttle request got lost in somewhere in the interweb and we had to scramble the day of our arrival to arrange a taxi from the airport. Which wasn't too expensive either, but the bus is quick and easy). Onsen and Private Onsen available and both were amazing. Great masseuse as well. And the best fully loaded breakfast you can ask for. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and will do so in the near future. Niseko and the Japowpow are already calling me back.

Great property in great location

Overall a great property. Room as new, decent size for Japan and immaculate cleaning. Great staff, no language issues. Didnt try restaurant but breakfast good from the view of a westerner in Japan, though not the abundance youd get in for example Scandinavia. Onsen was nice as well and not horrendously priced. Only downside was that it was tricky to fine tune the room heating. Location very good with 5min walk to the chair and at the same time lots of f&b options around the corner. Would absolutely consider this property again.

Overall the hotel has the potential to be a great hotel. Good location, good amenities, and eager staff. That said there is clearly a critical issue with management / ownership. Staff are not empowered and are clearly misguided. They are focused on things like charging for plastic key cards but don’t have the tools (and have been denied!) like a door stop to deliver luggage. Concierge was asked to book a table and we received an email saying ok no problem it’s done - only to mean they emailed the restaurant to ask - and we were then not notified the restaurant said they had no availability. The lobby bar almost made it awkward to order a drink. In short - staff tries very hard to accommodate but the underlying poor management holds them back and the result is an overall bad experience.
