Toyoko Inn Niigata Furumachi

8/10 Good

"The shuttle bus service here is great. Just get the schedule and use it. Great staff great place to stay. I love their shuttle bus service. Just get the schedule and use it."

ANA Crowne Plaza Niigata by IHG

"Great place. Would use again"

Toyoko Inn Niigata Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent centrally located hotel. Nice breakfast. Small clean room but adequate for our needs."

Hotel Nikko Niigata

10/10 Excellent

"I was arriving in Niigata by ferry, and so I picked this place because it was close to the port. HOWEVER, there are multiple places where ferries dock, and my ferry ended up at a dock farther away. I ended up needing to take a taxi to the hotel. The view is phenomenal and the room was wonderful. The Chinese restaurant was very good. There was also a gift shop that was great. I had a lot of work I needed to do that kept me in the hotel, so I didn't check to see how easy it would have been to get around the city, though I did need another 10-minute taxi to get to the train station. But I really loved the room as one of the best during my travels, and would stay again if I get the chance."

APA Hotel & Resort Niigata Ekimae Odori

8/10 Good

"APA is still a business hotel so the room size is going to be small. Good thing is that it is luxurious in terms of presentation so in a way you will feel the money is well spent. As per APA standard, all the amenities, switches and luggage space (under the bed) is all well planned. Just having the room to sleep this is more than enough. Key thing to note is that the lift will be full of people from 15 minutes before and after the check out time at 10am so don't leave it too late to check out. The other nice amenity is the public baths. Enjoy the warm 40 degree C water to ease your tired muscles after a day of walking and exploring. I don't know I miss it until I got to APA Ueno where it does not have a public bath so enjoy it while you can. Personally I have skipped the breakfast at APA. It is not expensive but after experiencing the other APA's breakfast, I think I can do better at the nearby Cafe."

Bandai Silver Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We happened to choose the Japanese style room for our family of four - it was amazing! one tatami room with the four futons, and another slightly smaller with a low table to sit around. A long hallway ran along the two rooms with the sink and plenty of space to store toiletries and change, and then the shower/Japanese bath at the end of the hall. Coffee and tea supplies were there in the room, along with typical Japanese amenities like yukata and slippers. We also signed up for the breakfast buffet each day, and it also was wonderful, with a wide selection of Japanese and western food items. Waffles and omelettes (by special order) were included. The staff in the eating area and the front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The hotel also had a small laundry room with two small washers and dryers which we used. The hotel location is pretty decent. It's about a ten minute walk from Niigata station, maybe fifteen walking with suitcases. After this experience, this will definitely be the place we stay in Niigata in the future - and I recommend the Japanese style room over the Western style rooms."

Dormy Inn Niigata Natural Hot Spring

8/10 Good

"I can count on a Dormy Inn for a clean and comfortable experience every time. Very easy to travel to and from."

Hotel Sunroute Niigata

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and proffessional and helpful staff. Good wifi and room cleanliness. Great offer of toilettries. Terrific array of restaurants and services in the area. Really Recommend this hotel."
