We enjoyed our stay here. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. We got a suite and the room was huge compared to most rooms in Japan. It overlooked the river which was an added plus.

Slightly older hotel. but larger room and very quiet. Quite comfortable and the value of the room was high given the relatively modest cost. Breakfast buffet was excellent.

The property got a long history with great view of Shinano River, conventional design with larger room size comparing to modern hip hotel. Their breakfast is excellent, with a variety of local produce, a must try. Front desk is friendly and helpful, thanks to Mr Chan who initiated to assist in forwarding a delayed package to Tokyo.

This was surely the best hotel in town when it opened. Showing signs of wear and tear (but so am I!), but still comfortable like an old sofa. The double room was spacious (by any standard, not just Japan), with room for a desk and chairs. Breakfast buffet was very good. Location overlooking the river, could walk to fish market for excellent sushi.

Great location on the river bank. The facilities felt outdated but still fairly well maintained. Room was large and had a nice view of the Bandai bridge. Got a cold on Sado island but I had a really nice sleep back to Niigata and felt completely recharged. Super kind and attentive staff. Parking is a bit pricy at the hotel but I had no problems finding plenty of parking lots nearby.

WiFi problems
The location was good and the room was clean and good enough for one person.
The WiFi connection was very weak, though, and I went between a weak signal to no signal my entire stay.
Other than that, it was a good place to stay.

Not recommended. Old property needs upgrades. Not on par with Tokyo nor Kyoto Okura.

Will not return. FYI have traveled to Japan 200+ times.

Fantastic hotel in Niigata
My husband and I and our 2 friends stayed at Hotel Okura Niigata In April 2025 - 2 rooms facing the river. Rooms were spacious, clean, bright with comfortable beds and linens. The hotel & restaurant service is beyond outstanding - despite the restaurant being closed (that served Cherries Jubilee ), the hosts graciously opened the restaurant for us and their chef prepared a spectacular Cherries Jubilee dessert for the 4 of us ! The Breakfast buffet was outstanding. A wonderful assortment of hot dishes including eggs, omelets, Japanese offerings, Cappucino's , salmon, fresh fruits, croissants and salads. Taxi service was readily available. The hotel is in an excellent location downtown with easy access to see sights and restaurants. Would definitely stay again when we return to Japan

Not a bad hotel by any means, it's quite dated and the WiFi was terrible if I'm being honest, however, the location is within walking distance to alot of amenities, the staff is very professional and the breakfast buffet has alot of options for most families.
