Bnbplus Niigata Book Inn

This is a completely self-service hotel, an irresponsible one. The hotel offers luggage storage, but it must be retrieved by 8 PM on the day of check-out. Today, I checked out and left my luggage at the hotel. I arrived at 7:30 PM to retrieve it, but the gate code had changed. This is normal, as it changes daily. I emailed and called the hotel, but received no response. I waited outside for an hour, waiting for other guests to return before I could get my luggage. I had to catch a 10 PM bus to Tokyo, and as of now, 10:20 PM, I still haven't received a response! If a guest hadn't returned to open the door, would I have stayed in Niigata? This is a hotel that neglects its guests. I advise everyone not to leave their luggage at the hotel, even if you're staying there. The risk is extremely high.

Traveling light is a good option, but be aware that this hotel's cancellation deadline is well before the check-in date. If you plan to book first and then change, pay attention to the timeframe.

Access 5-minute walk from Niigata Station Bandai Exit. There is a Lawson nearby. It is on the 4th floor of the building, but there is an elevator so it is easy to get there. System Unmanned. There is a note for each guest posted in front of the door. If you look at it, you can see how to open the door, so it may not be good in terms of security. Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a hair dryer in the bathroom. Towels and earplugs are charged. Shoes are prohibited in the bed area. The beds are two-tiered. The entrance is separate and separated by a curtain. There is a futon, a light and an outlet. There is no key. There is a space to store shoes and small suitcases at the feet. I was not sure if there was a valuables locker or a place to store a large suitcase. There is a sofa and three work desks in the public area. The toilets are separate for men and women. The two shower spaces are shared by men and women. There are four sinks. Cleanliness The bed area is very clean. The air conditioning works well. The toilet and shower room are clean, with only a little dust on the ventilation fan and fog on the mirror. Overall If you don't have a lot of luggage and just want to be able to use the shower, bath, and bed, this is a comfortable place to stay.

Convenient transportation location ~ self-service check-in

대학 면접보러 갔었는데 책도 많았고, 역에서부터도 가까워서 좋았습니다. 친구랑 와도 될거 같고, 한국인도 편하게 머물 수 있었습니다. 그러나 체크인 전까지 캐리어를 안에 맡길 수가 없어서 맞춰서 가세요

It's unmanned. There's a note on the wall with instructions on how to check in, so I followed that. Unlike the lower bunks, the upper bunks are not completely blackout. You'll need an eye mask. Some people snore loudly, so earplugs are a must. Earplugs are sold for a fee. It's conveniently located right next to Niigata Station. It's fine if you're just going to sleep.

It's been a while since I stayed at a dormitory, but this is the first time I've seen an unmanned front desk. I open the locked door, but the PIN code is confirmed in the email I received when I made the reservation. The entrance is dim at night, and the button markings are hard to see. The private room space is quite small, and I have to lay my own futon sheets. The lighting is quite dim. There is no soundproofing, so I have to be careful not to make any noise. The walls are bare concrete, so it was cold even with the futon over me. There are lots of books, but they're dusty, probably because no one has read them. Towels, toothbrushes, and other amenities are available for a fee. You buy them by putting money in an envelope. The shower and water area are small, but clean. The fact that the front desk is unmanned is a fatal flaw. First-time visitors don't know the rules. I guess they're supposed to look at their emails... Especially at the entrance, I saw several guests regularly looking confused because they didn't know how to open the door. This kind of hotel often has a noisy pattern of nearby guests leaving their alarms on, but there is no help desk to ask for advice, and they are not responsible for any trouble between guests, so you can't just complain. It's just not reassuring. It's about 5,000 yen too expensive for this. If you use it as a substitute for a hotel, you'll end up stressing out.
