THE GREEN LEAF NISEKO VILLAGE

As we are taking ski lessons for the first time, we chose this hotel because of its easy accessibility to ski slopes, rental hire and lessons. Its not near to Hirafu centre, where many cafe and restaurants are located, although there is a free shuttle bus. The hotel is very dated with very small room and tiny bathroom. Feels more like a hostel. Rooms are cleaned only every 3 days. The plus was we got a room with amazing slope view. Reception staff are not helpful nor friendly. I will not recommend this hotel.

A very convenient hotel for skiing and snowboarding. Locker area allows easy ski in and out. The hotel is located 10 meters next to a gondola that can take you to a green slope. For beginners, you also have access to a short bunny slope and a magic carpet. The room itself is nice and clean, but I’m deducting a star due to the old-school keys. The doors do not auto lock.

This is a nice hotel with a good size room, literally on the slopes but if the weather is bad then the top lights close and the only way to other resorts is the bus, which takes a while and not always reliable. |The food was ok, lots to choose from but not the best quality. |Staff were what’s friendly and the ski lockers are very handy. |It is a bus ride to other restaurants if you’re not eating in the hotel. We are mainly from the bar menu and then just had a snack in the evening as getting the bus was a bit of a nightmare in the evening.

Back to one of my favourites. A familiar simple ski resort that ticks the right boxes at a reasonable price. It really has all that I needed for a ski holiday. The corner suite is really a delight. End Feb is far less crowded than usual and may be a nice time to visit.

We’re here for a skiing holiday to celebrate my wife’s big birthday. We’ve been skiing for almost 40yrs once or twice a year to various parts of the world but not been to Japan. Lots of snow here so looking forward to it. The Green Leaf sounded a very good place to stay, if a little detached from other restaurants. We booked as a couple and this is the first time in all these years we’ve been allocated a ‘twin’ room not a double. I asked if we could change rooms to a double but no joy at all. Disappointed but have to suck it up. End of our first skiing day which was great, so stopped for some liquid refreshments at the bar which is good and feeling a bit tired decided to eat in there. Went to order at 17.04 but was knocked back as they said that last orders for food was at 17.00. I pointed out that the menu showed that food was up to 17.30 but was refused. Apparently the time had recently been altered as the kitchen ‘couldn’t cope’ but they hadn’t altered the information on the menu. This means either a bus ride to find a restaurant elsewhere, or use the buffet in their canteen like ‘restaurant’, which we’d used the previous evening upon arrival. Disappointed with their ‘customer service’ to say the least.

The experience was great. The location of the hotel is super convenient for family like ourselves. It takes little time to access both Annapuri and Hirafu. We didn't have enough time to try the slopes at Niseko Village though. The hotel is clean, and sufficient, since we spend most of the time in town / on slopes. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful and make sure the information we got from them are accurate. I think this is very important. The hotel has its own hot spring and spa facilities which are bonus. It gives us a chance to relax after hitting the slopes for all day. Breakfast was great, variety was extensive, but it gets a little boring after 5 days eating the same food. The flavors were great and spot on though, no complains on the taste-side.

The Greenleaf was the most perfect spot for my bestie and I on our adventure to Japan. The location could not have been better, with ride in/ride out access to 4 resorts on Mt Niseko. The onsen was magical, the service was friendly, the powder was epic, and our room was the most comfortable escape each evening after exhausting ourselves on the slopes. We will definitely be back!

Rooms were quite spacious, clean, warm and comfortable. Staff were also very friendly and helpful and the onsen was good. Everything else was very average but expensive. The breakfast was pretty much the same everyday, really nothing special. Lunch was very mediocre and dinner extortionately overpriced for a buffet. We did it once then made the trip to other places by bus.|Honestly except for the snow quality, which is excellent the Niseko/Green Leaf experience was pretty overrated. Extremely commercial and too busy. I would either go again late February to avoid the crowds, stay somewhere more authentic or just go to Furano or a smaller less spoilt area.|
