    Room cleaning is not sufficient for example each edge of floor carpet is full of dust, clothes hangers are not wiped. Elevators are not efficient, you need to wair for more than 5 min. in the even weekday morning. Bereakfast is minimum choices. Height of pillows are insufficient and mattress is too soft to keep your posture.

    Affordable price, good location and new facilities. Rice of breakfast is the best quality ever.

    It is a business hotel, so very crowded at times of check in and check out. Small rooms which is to be expected but always a bit of bothering. Parking not so easy.

    A classic Apa hotel. Nothing spectacular but good for a night. Very comfy bed. Very clean. Fair price. Good location.

    The best APA hotel in Niigata city

    The room is a bit small, but considering the price, it’s acceptable. The scent of the body wash and shampoo is fine individually, but when mixed together, they unexpectedly produce a fishy smell. It is recommended to use products with a matching fragrance.

    This hotel is in a great location. It's within walking distance to Niigata train station, or just a short walk to a bus stop that's only one stop away from the train station. The bus stop also provides access to other areas of the city. There are many restaurants and shops near the train station, making it very convenient. There's also a convenience store right in the hotel lobby.

    The restaurant labelled as "casual French" is more Italian than French and despite it not being busy my steak arrived cold and the fries were also not great.

    Good location. Good amenities. The spa and gym are great for those looking for such facilities. The Japanese breakfast buffet was fine with a food range of dishes. It f

    It was great being so close to the Railway Station and the City loop bus.

    There was a fire alarm so we all had to head out of the building at 3AM and walk down 11 floors through emergency (the last floor down has a misplaced step so everyone tripped, it would need a warning strip). It was very stressful but it’s ok it happens, I just wish we had a more formal explanation on what happened. I didn’t like that power goes out not only for the lights but the electric plugs when we go out. I really wish I could charge up stuff in the room while I am away. Perhaps limited voltage when away or something — or only USB-A/C? I also wish the staff downstairs knew a bit of English. I make a big effort to speak 日本語 and have learned ひらがな and カタカナ, but sometime there are things I can’t ask in Japanese and I found much smaller hotels with English speakers on both my trips to Japan. Simple things like help with understanding the coin washing machine would be nice. Because it’s a big hotel there is less 1:1 help than smaller hotels.

    The room was clean, big TV with interesting information about Japan which you can also stream your phone to. There was a tutorial video on how to put on a kimono. Easy process to connect to WIFI (each room has a separate wifi, not very fast but reasonably serviceable and stable). The onsen area was golden, very pleasant.

    The breakfast space is poorly designed, with very narrow passages and lots of bottlenecks, which is not good when it's crowded. There is no counter seating available, so if you eat by yourself you have to take up a whole table.

    Great location, just a 5-10 min. walk from the train station, and close to lots of places to eat. Very good breakfast, and the breakfast is served until 2:00pm. Seven elevators, so you don't have to wait long. Very nice public bath, including a rotemburo.

    The hotel provided a nice combination of comfort and convenience, as it's located close to the Ryotsu Port and Niigata Station. The Lawson connected to the lobby was great for grabbing a late night snack. The hotel included a yukata and haori for guests to wear, which was very comfortable. We enjoyed using the large TV in the room and the public bath was a very relaxing experience.
