SCOUT REVIEW
The Loft Niseko is one of the latest apartment additions to Lower Hirafu. It has four 2-bedroom and four 3-bedroom apartments that are of urban and modern style with a Swedish Alpine twist. It has a fairly convenient location with an onsen, sushi bar, jazz bar and restaurants nearby. It is a long walk to the ski base area but it offers shuttles to the lifts, or you can catch the public shuttle which stops right opposite the building.
The apartments at Loft Niseko are really beautiful and impeccably clean. There is a lot of use of white wood, light grey and marble finishes. The apartments are very bright with big picture windows although they are quite small considering each one has three bedrooms. It might be its layout, but three couples or a family could find living areas cramped and crowded. The apartment on the ground floor is larger than the others, to make up for not having a view of Mt Yotei. These two and three bedroom apartments are a great option for families of all sizes.
The apartments in Loft Niseko are fully equipped with modern amenities including a TV with international channels, an Apple TV with rentable HD movie downloads, wi-fi internet access, a fully outfitted kitchen and a laundry room. The big picture windows in all of the apartments ensure that you get the best views of Mt. Yotei.
The Loft Niseko has an onsite concierge services and shuttle service from 9am – 6pm for getting to and from the ski lifts, the supermarket, restaurants, spas and onsens.
