HOTEL GLOBAL VIEW Niigata

The location was right across from the station! The room was very neat and clean, and was quite spacious for a single traveler. I also enjoyed the view from the window, and the atmosphere of the hotel was sophisticated. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful with going over the check-in procedure and information! English seemed good according to my friend, who checked in with another representative! I used Japanese after they confirmed I could understand them, which was also very nice! The elevators are regulated based on keycard access as well, which is very safe for lone travelers.

Hotel provided fantastic value for its price point. The hotel came with an indoor onsen, sauna and free massage chair, with a dedicated lift for hotel guests to access the amenities. Hotel was also located within a 5 mins walk to the nearest station. Staff was able to converse well in English and also allowed for luggage storage before check in time. Got the twin room, which also came with a tub. Otherwise, the room size is about what you will expect. Not spacious, but enough to move around without feeling cramped. Overall, great value for money!

Great location. Across the street from the train station and around the corner from a number of streets filled with shops and eateries. Room was quiet despite the construction going on in front of the train station. I used the onsite onsen for morning soaks, which was a good way to relieve aches and oains

Location is right in front of the station with lots of restaurants close by. I like the in-hotel sento and relaxation room. Breakfast was also very good.

The hotel is very conveniently located just across a plaza from the train station, with an inviting entrance and lobby. At a very short walking distance, one can find many convenience stores and a wide variety of restaurants. The whole hotel was impeccably clean and well maintained. The rooms are not large but well equipped with a refrigerator, a round table and a bench where one can both relax or work. I appreciated that there was a LAN cable besides WiFi, and I used the water cooker and refrigerator a lot. The Japanese breakfast was good but not too exciting; western guests not accustomed to Japanese food will, however, not find too much choice. The staff very friendly and helpful and had an above average command of English compared to other Japanese hotels.
