Top Sainoko Lake Hotel Reviews

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!"

Nikko Hoshinoyado

8/10 Good

"The food is very good and well presented. However in-room amenities are minimal, same for the onsen (men) - no cotton ear-buds - and the hand towels do not smell clean."
