Hotel Abest Happo Aldea

The hotel is about 6-10 min walk to Sakka Lift. Not much food around for snacks or lunch. Breakfast is good. There’s shuttle bus running early morning and after 3pm.

Hotel Abest is a three star hotel with five star service. We had stayed in three star hotels previously and knew what to expect in terms of comfort and amenities. The rooms are spacious, but no wardrobe, which was fine as the drying room took care of the ski gear and there was enough space in the rooms for everything else. The bathrooms were small and they were the same as other places we have stayed at in Happo One. The hotel has an onsen and there is plenty of room for a shower and nice soak after a day of skiing if the en-suites were too small to use. The lounge area was lovely and it was a great place o talk to other guests in the evening and have something to eat if you didn’t want to go out. Also, the breakfast was really good with a choice of hot food, salad, fruit, cereal yogurt, tea, coffee. The location of the hotel is about a 5-10min walk to the closest lift and there was a shuttle service for drop off and pick up. This was a very good service, we appreciated it very much and it was always on time. The staff at the hotel were absolutely wonderful. There were quite a few Australians employed and they were all so helpful, engaging and willing to help. Thanks guys!! I do have to say a special mention to Yurika and Nori-san. Everyday they both greeted us with happy smiles and nothing was ever too much trouble. It was so lovely staying at a hotel where the staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful. We had lots of wonderful conversations, with not only Yurika and Nori-san, but with other guests also joining in. The atmosphere that was created by the staff made us feel special and relaxed, which I did value more than anything else. If we return to Happo-One we will stay at Abest Aldea again. Thank you everyone for making our holiday special with wonderful memories😊❤️❄️.

Abest Hotel is located in peaceful Wadano area. There is only few minutes walk to Sakka lifts and hotel also have free drop off/pick up service. Hotel itself is great with renovated rooms with big new confy beds. A small problen in the rooms was a lack of coat hooks, but the giggling nice lady in a front desk promised to fix it before my next stay. There is a small bar corner and bigger room with fireplace where you can enjoy a nice Asahi after skiing day. They also have a dinner menu. The onsen area has renovated few years ago and has a pretty good finnish sauna. (You can even throw water to the stove!) Important to us, staff is Japanese and they are friendly and very helpful.
