Hotel Global View Niigata
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.23 out of 5 (4,114 reviews). Guests often praise the convenient location right by JR Niigata Station, the communal bath, and the wide variety at the breakfast buffet. Some mention the generous spread of dishes, including cauldron-cooked rice, sashimi and mentaiko (spicy pollock roe). On the other hand, some report that the bathtub in the single rooms is cramped and that they noticed a musty smell, so the experience appears to vary by room type.

Children who have not yet started elementary school stay at no charge when co-sleeping, and their breakfast buffet is free of charge as well. A Deluxe Twin Room that sleeps up to 4 and bed guards available to borrow make this an easy hotel for families.

There is also a Universal Room (sleeps 3, 38.1 sq m) with a ramp leading to the bathroom and handrails inside it, but the number of these rooms is limited and booking requires a phone inquiry. It also sits in front of the smoking area, so the smell of tobacco may be noticeable. Every room is equipped with a SHARP air purifier with a humidifying function.

Family-friendly features
Children under elementary school age who co-sleep rather than using a bed of their own stay at no charge. Bed guards are also available to borrow, though quantities are limited.
