Best place to stay

Amazing place to stay. Not only was breakfast included but also an eight course dinner. We choose the room style with a private onsen bath on the balcony, and it was absolutely what we needed.

This is a true luxury experience that you feel it is away from busy life. The breakfast and dinner is real high end japanese style. Every dish is delicious , delicate, with good dashi flavor. Hot spring is plus too if you like the experience.

This hotel is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The facilities are beautifully designed and cater to guests seeking an upscale hot spring resort experience. The rooms are impeccable and the cuisine superb. This is not a Western hotel in any way; it is the height of Japanese luxury and worth staying for more than one night. You won’t regret it!

Not worth the money spent.

I actually don't know how to review such hotel. I think their service are excellent, but does'nt seem to care exactly what customers want. Very friendly and try to provide service, but they lack of communication skills with foreign languages and not able to adapt to customer's requests. Everything looks very good but don't think it's worth the money paid. Also, to access to the hotel is a big problem concerning you are carring a lot of luggages under late night bad weather condition.

Hotel is in a remote area, weather is relatively cold, but the room didn’t offer the cover clothes in the room. You need to ask the staff in front desk for cover clothes for keeping warm. Bath tube in my room is very dangerous! The temperature safety lock is fail. I’m almost getting burn by the hot water.

The property offered a welcome respite from the hustle of Tokyo. Getting there is easier via express train but not necessary. You don’t need to bring a lot with you because they provide extremely comfortable clothes, slippers, and even socks while you’re on the property. Same with toiletries. They have everything you could possibly need. Excursions are wonderful but not necessary if you’re going there to relax. The food is beautiful and nutritious. There are limited snacks and drinks available if you need anything between the planned meals. If you do decide to do excursions, plan for the later dinner as getting around Nikko takes time. I suggest taking a taxi to and from the property if you have bags. But the walk to the train station from the hotel is downhill and easy—about 20 minutes. The staff is wonderful and friendly and is so very kind. They make effort to speak English but everyone mostly speaks Japanese. We visited during New Year and they had lovely celebration meals and decor to commemorate the occasion. It even snowed during our stay and the property somehow became even more beautiful. It was snowing when I went to the onsen and it was unreal. I highly recommend staying here. I would just book well in advance to ensure the time of year you would like to be there. I imagine that Fall is also a beautiful time of year to visit.

Everything was great except for a few issues: 1. The front door was hard to find. We had to walk about five minutes on an unpaved road to reach the "entrance," where we then had to take a lift to the reception. 2. The dinner and breakfast were decent, but for a rate of $620 per night for two people, we expected better quality. 3. The nightly rate on Expedia was listed for one person, even though we entered two guests for one room. This was misleading, and had we known, we might have reconsidered booking the resort.
