    • 2 Single Beds Premium On High Floor
    • Stayed 1 night

    The single beds are really...single beds, and hence a bit small.

    Excellent hotel. Nicely modernized rooms (premium floor). Very friendly and professional staff at the front desk and concierge. Location, close to shops and restaurants in the station area. Easy parking.

    Friendly staff in an aging hotel with good food.

    • Standard Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Hotel is not so convenient, as it is a good 8 - 10 minute walk from JR station which is tough considering the hot and sunny summer days. A shuttle bus service every half an hour or 45 minutes will be well received. Hotel has shown signs of aging and some maintenance in room (like wardrobe) and public areas like carpets are urgently required.

    Staff are very friendly, well trained and helpful. Restaurants offer good variety of meals. We visited both the buffet lunch and japanese lunch and food in both are highly recommended.

    The front desk charged me $70 for breakfast when I was told it was included.

    The staff was exceptionally professional in spite of the language challenges. I do not know Japanese but the staff made great efforts to communicate and support my needs.

    The areas that weren't freshly renovated look their age. The better restaurants (including the one in the hotel) requires advanced reservation.

    Location, location, location. Did not know the city well, decided to take a 3D2N trip to look around Niigata and sample the local food and Japanese sake. The hotel did not disappoint. Great staff, professional and warm and the rooms were newly renovated so they look modern and comfortable and welcoming. Had a good rest. Slept well.

    Only a room with two twin beds was available. There is ample space for two full or double beds. Twin beds are for kids, not overgrown men. Did not sleep comfortably.

    The breakfast was excellent with high quality and varied options for both Japanese and western style.

    The hotel is showing its age a little bit in places. It doesn't have a swimming pool, which would have been nice.

    The hotel was very handy to all that Niigata has to offer. It's a short walk to the train station and a lot of the most popular sites, and also isn't too far from the river and the Sado Island ferry terminal. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. Numerous great restaurants, including a lovely bar on the top floor with great views of the city.

    The room is a bit small with one side of the bed pushed against the wall.

    The hotel provides eye masks, bath salts and even a fabric spray! Very impressed with the attention to small details which make the stay more pleasant. I also like that the housekeeping doesn't move your things around when making up the room. Good location near the train station, shopping area and the ferry terminal so walkable everywhere!

    I wish the Japanese selection at breakfast was more, and the curry could be with other meat or vegetarian as I don't take beef. The corner at the Japanese line was a bit small and gets really crowded.

    The breakfast was good with wide selection spanning both Japanese and western. Parking was free for IHG member which was a pleasant surprise, and the parking lot was very convenient to access (although a bit confusing at first entry because of the one-way streets). The staff was very friendly and offered to help without needing to be asked, and can communicate adequately in English.

    It was a little tired and probably needs a new lease of life

    The rooms were a good size by Japanese standards, location was brilliant close to mall, staff were incredibly helpful and buffet breakfast was varied for both western and Asian tastes. We would stay again 😀
