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."

"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."
