"Everything about the accommodation was excellent, especially the staff! Despite the communication struggles, they were very helpful and provided great service during my stay. The free shuttle service to the ski resort was also extremely useful as they would drive you to your desired resort and pick you up at your specified time. Without a car, there is limited access to any surrounding towns. There is a bus but it’s relatively infrequent. However, staying in is also great due to the 24 hour...

Top Sainoko Lake Hotel Reviews

Nikko Station Hotel II bankan

8/10 Good

"Small, no frills hotel that appeared understaffed to handle those of us arriving for 3pm checkin.. Conveniently located about 1.5 blocks from Tobu Station and 5 min from JR Nikko station. I thought there was an onsite onsen but when I inquired was told that their affiliated hotel with a similar name had the onsen we could use for a fee and showing our room key. I was relieved to find that they had two working elevators when I had read they had none! Modest but adequate breakfast with efficient, cheery staff."

Nikko Hoshinoyado

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed our stay. The Japanese room was large and the bedding was comfortable. The first Kaiseki dinner was delicious and fun as we made our own Yuba and Sukiyaki among the other 6 courses which were delivered. The onset was nice and hot and very clean. The second dinner was good but the service was not attentive. The Japanese breakfast was extensive."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Nikko

8/10 Good

"The hot spring bath was excellent; however, it was inconvenient that there was no hook to hold the shower head, and it was disappointing that there was an ammonia-like odor in the bathroom. The sleeping spaces other than the main bedroom were not very functional. On the other hand, the kitchen appliances and tableware were all new and in good condition."

Fairfield by Marriott Tochigi Nikko

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Beautiful view from the room! It is a bit of a walk from Nikko which can be lovely after eating way too much food for dinner. Taxis are fairly inexpensive back-and-forth. When I stayed, there was a food truck that showed up for breakfast and dinner options, this was fantastic! The quality of the food was really high. I didn’t try any of the food from the little store that they have on site, but the pizza did smell good. The laundry machines were always busy, so that’s something to be aware of. I would definitely stay again."

Nikko Kanaya Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Short and nice stay. Enjoyed the dinner on site and direct access to unesco site. Team at restaurant and reception doing their best to support you travel plan and fully enjoy the stay. Thank you!"

Hatago Nagomi
