Jr East Hotel Mets Niigata

“Very Convenient if Arriving by Train”

We stayed two nights at the JR East Hotel Mets at the Niigata station after arriving from Tokyo by Shinkansen.

We stayed two nights at the JR East Hotel Mets at the Niigata station after arriving from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I think we exited to the western concourse and signs to hotel were easy enough to follow. The walkway enters level 3 of the hotel. Very conveniently, right next to a 7-Eleven. Also super convenient is the sake museum. Definitely must visit. Check-in was efficient and we were given rooms on the top floor (level 9). A rather basic room that has everything except for an in-room safe. No coffee (nor bottled water) was provided with the kettle but only tea. Not a problem as free coffee can be made in the waiting area next to the reception. Also in the reception area is where more bathroom amenities are provided. Only toothbrushes are in the room. The bath area in the room is large with a wash area and a stool like at the onsen along with a bathtub. That’s where a visit to the amenities area in reception comes in handy. Wifi was speedy enough for our needs. The convenient location was great for us as we arrived in the rain. There is plenty of choices for food and even shopping. Do explore around. We did buy day passes for the Niigata City Loop Bus (JPY500 per adult). Check-out was as efficient as check-in. While there wasn’t much of a view, the hotel was just right for us. Definitely worth considering

We stayed two nights and were very pleased with the staff, service, and location. The front desk staff spoke English and they were helpful and welcoming. Housekeeping was also efficient. The rooms were slightly larger than typical Japanese rooms which was a bonus. We booked a double room and surprisingly there was a king sized bed. There was a desk, refrigerator, hot pot, and an area to hang your clothes. Also, several outlets by the desk and in the nightstand. Check in is on the third floor and it connects directly with the Ponshukan which is the sake tasting area! Convenience store and other shops all on the third floor. Also, direct access to the JR rail. Extremely convenient.

“Value for money ”

The hotel was recommended by my colleagues and it doesn’t disappoint me. I have booked a room with a large twin bed and breakfast included. The room is okay with essential amenities while the restaurant for the breakfast with cozy ambience and the food varieties are good enough! The only comment … lisää

The hotel was recommended by my colleagues and it doesn’t disappoint me. I have booked a room with a large twin bed and breakfast included. The room is okay with essential amenities while the restaurant for the breakfast with cozy ambience and the food varieties are good enough! The only comment I would say is the staff’s English the hotel needs to work on, pehaps Niigata is a secondary city in Japan people don’t speak much English. Other than that it’s all fine!

“Expensive”

The hotel is located in a very good place and car park across the street costs 500 JPY for hotel guests which is good. The price for one night was a bit high for our opinion. There is a self laundry located in the smoking floor from all floors and the smell in the corridor is of heavy nicotine. Not… lisää

The hotel is located in a very good place and car park across the street costs 500 JPY for hotel guests which is good. The price for one night was a bit high for our opinion. There is a self laundry located in the smoking floor from all floors and the smell in the corridor is of heavy nicotine. Not logic.
