AI Summary
Located in a prime spot near shopping and skiing, The Vale Niseko provides excellent service, luxurious rooms with great views, and a range of facilities including laundry, onsen, and pools.

My first trip to Niseko was great, and the three days at The Vale Hotel were quite memorable. Check-in was very smooth, and there was no annoying waiting at all. The room layout and facilities of the suite were in line with expectations, and it was suitable for a long stay for families. The price-performance ratio is quite good among hotels in the same area. However, the blackout effect of the curtains in the hotel room is not very good, and it is easy to be woken up by the light in the morning. I hope the hotel can improve it.
The hotel is in an excellent location, and you can go directly back to the hotel from the ski slope after skiing. In terms of travel, the hotel shuttle is available on call, which is very considerate. Jessica Tan at the front desk is Chinese. She is not only gentle and beautiful, but also very enthusiastic in service. She helped me check out smoothly, and actively helped me fight for various rights when I stayed in the hotel. She also helped me book the return car. Every link was considered meticulously, which made people feel at ease.
Overall, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. Next time I come to Niseko to ski, I will probably choose here again.

Stayed at the lower ground hotel room. Very convenient as it’s on the same floor as the ski locker but somehow there’s a smell of the boots on the whole floor. We have an upstairs room which doesn’t have this problem so I would suggest book the upstairs room

This hotel is really great. It’s right in the ski resort and comes with breakfast every day. The highlight is the Chinese counter at the counter. The service is really great. We encountered many problems and Yiyi helped us solve them. Even after checking out, we had to go to another hotel. It was really nice that a hotel even sent us a car to take us there. We couldn’t book a return ticket to the airport online and they took care of it. From now on, we will only come to their restaurant when we come to Niseko. Fortunately, there is a counter for this trip. assistance

Luxury at a reasonable price
The property is about 50 yards from the ski lift. The room is spacious and well appointed. We had a kitchenette with fridge and microwave as well as flatware. The Onsen is smaller but nice and comfortable / relaxing.

Stayed for 8 nights first week of Feb 25. This is not a ski out hotel. Once you climb two flights of stairs from the ski room you then have to hike to the Ace Family lift. Yes you can ski back but you need to take care descending the stairs to the ski room. Staff were ok but dining room and choice of food was very disappointing, as were some of the staff. Buffet style is the go for breakfast! Unlikely to return. John D

This has been one of the most appalling and infuriating experiences I’ve ever had in booking a hotel. After the sudden news of a life-threatening family health emergency completely derailed our plans, I reached out to Vale/Nisade in hopes of altering or canceling my trip. What I received was nothing short of callous indifference. Instead of any form of empathy or an attempt to find a solution, I was told to sort it out and directed to buy travel insurance—no effort to help, no compassion whatsoever. This level of customer service is not only unacceptable, it's downright disgraceful. They have proven to be a company with zero regard for their customers, and I would advise anyone considering booking with them to think twice. P.s. even though I have made it clear that there is no way we could go for the trip due to the situation, I have still been contacted by them through mobile, text and email to "book my ski related activities as the fill up fast." Even after telling them the situation, they apologize and said they would get back to me. Zero follow up. I genuinely can't emphasize how disappointed I am.

We have had several stays at the Vale with varying degrees of enjoyment but the overriding feeling is that it has had its' day. At all points, our feelings was one of unfriendliness and 'can't do' with regard to the guests, simple things like asking for a checkout extension are met with fairly draconian financial demands. Their COVID refund (or entire lack of) policy probably meant it irked a bit to keep going there. Very limited and early closing FnB options also add to the limited feel although the onsen remains excellent. For a very family forward hotel, it feels anything but. It's a shame but it's probably had it's day.
