Higashikambara District Vacations & Trips from $1,957

The hotel is just a short walk from the station on the other side of the river. If you are unable to work, as we were due to an injury to my wife's knee, there were always taxis to take you wherever you wanted to go. This is a luxury hotel and the standard matches that. Staff always very welcoming and helpful, and offered my wife a wheel chair for use in the hotel if she needed it. I would have no hesitation in going back to the hotel again. Also of note is that this hotel is an evacuation centre in the event of a tsunami, so a safe place to stay.

Good

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.

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