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

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.

We had an excellent stay at The Vale and particularly loved the 3-bedroom penthouse options with generous dining areas so that we could enjoy all the best food in Niseko. The in-room and public onsens made apres-ski time so enjoyable and The Luxe Nomad team made sure that we arrived from the airport smoothly and took care of everything we needed.

We recently stayed at The Vale Niseko over Christmas and had a wonderful experience. The location is unmatched, the rooms very well appointed and the staff were wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful 2024 Christmas and we hope we can return in 2025.

View from the room and the distance to skii lift is fantastic. Hot water in bathroom hot for a while, cold for a while, very unpredictable and made showering not pleasant at all, and this happens in all the shower room in the unit I stayed in. Many bugs in the room, most of it dead, looks like house keeping didn't see underneath the sofa chairs. I stayed for 10 days, they only cleaned the room every 2 days, 1st and 3rd day they replenish the amenities for the facial lotion that comes in a small bag, after that, seems like they don't keep up the standard to replenish anymore. Concierge doesn't seems professional enough to know their maps well, each time I ask for nearby food, no particular brand, maybe just ask nearest ramen store, they have to take 20-30mins to see the map to give an answer.. dryer in unit is a very old model and old brand, you can smell the burnt smell on your hair after using it, for a 5 star hotel, I would really expected more on the standard. Feeling from this hotel.. everything is a no, there's no leeway, should be more accommodating and more open to customers to provide a better service and happy customers so that they will come back again in future.

For such a well known resort there are few first class hotels in Niseko. The Vale is one of them and its location at the bottom of the main run is also a huge selling point. It’s hardly full of character but it makes up for all of that in terms of efficiency.
