We spent almost a whole week at Okura Niigata.The hotel facilities are certainly old. However, if you visit Niigata, I strongly recommend that you choose to stay at Okura Niigata.Because, under the current management of a very smart & experienced Japanese GM and F&B - AEM,Okura Niigata always offers hygienic & clean rooms, F&B facilities, and " True Japanese hospitality from the hotel staff."These are on a completely different level from other hotels.Another my recommendation is the breakfast conducted by the hotel's executive chef. This is truly unique.This is a wonderful breakfast experience where you can experience all the gourmet food of Niigata in one stop.Furthermore, the omelettes created by the hotel's executive chef themselves are of a quality that cannot be compared to other hotels. Its really Oishii.....Also, nice British Style Bar...We are happy to have experienced the world-class Okura hospitality in Niigata.I will definitely choose Okura Niigata next time I stay in Niigata.

The hotel was conveniently located near shopping malls, and I had a room with a beautiful view overlooking the Sakura trees and the river. The location was great for people who drove, and parking was free, but it was too far to walk (20 minutes) from Niigata station. I especially enjoyed the breakfast, which included two types of Koshihikari rice (Uonuma and Toukamachi) and many local dishes. The room was clean and comfortable, though it was a bit old. The service was great.

We really enjoyed this hotel. Very friendly staff and despite the hotel being a little old, it was very clean. The room was a nice size and was very clean. It’s located right next to the iconic Bandai Bridge and is very central to many restaurants all within walking distance. There is a convenience store 1 minute away. There is free ice on each floor and a nice restaurant on the main floor. The price was very reasonable, too. Will definitely return.

Located near the Shinano river, this is a huge hotel with good service. The check in was quick and effortless. The room we had was quite huge and clean, and supplied with kettle and tea making facilities. It wasn’t crowded when we were there and there was almost no waiting time for the lifts. You could park your car either at the basement or the open air space next to the hotel. They charge 1300 yen per day. The riverside embankment was ideal for leisurely walks. There are many food choices near the hotels ranging from ramen to sushi places. A few convenience stores are also within walking distances. The drawbacks are that the air conditioning couldn’t be controlled properly and it’s too warm. The WiFi is also quite weak.

Niigata is not on the beaten path for tourists, although it should be. I will fully credit Chris Broad with putting the idea in our heads to visit the sake bar/store in the JR train station as a bucket list item. …

Despite the hotel being a bit dated, for the price it's probably one of the most pleasurable experience I've had in a Japanese hotel. Wide comfortable rooms, nice view, nice staff, free parking.They don't have USB ports so you should bring your adapter but it's not that big of a deal.They have a smoking area on the 4th floor and many shops across the first few floors.Location is quite good as you can walk pretty much anywhere in the central area within 20min.
