Bandai Silver Hotel

The Hotel’s location can only be described as excellent. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and it’s very convenient for getting around. The Hotel itself does feel a bit old, but combined with its retro Showa-era atmosphere, it has a charming character. Even the wallpaper is cute in its own way. Although the Hotel is older, everything worked properly—the air conditioning, the unit bath, and the washlet—and the cleaning was thorough, so I didn’t feel any inconvenience or discomfort at all. The Room was also spacious enough. The breakfast looked appealing too, but this time one of my goals was to have curry at the bus center for breakfast, so I chose No Meals Included; next time I’d like to try the breakfast as well.

Although I stayed for only one night, I had a very comfortable stay. It was conveniently located close to both the bus center and the station. I was also happy to enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet with delicious Niigata Koshihikari rice. I would love to stay here again when I visit Niigata.
