Nikko Station Hotel Classic

This has a great location - opposite the JR station and right in the centre of Nikko town so you’re very close to shops , restaurants and cafes . I thought the rooms were great value for money as they were a decent size and had a bath with Shiseido shower gel/Shampoo & conditioner ( which I really appreciate after a long day of walking ) . The beds are firm ( love that too) so I slept well in the quiet rooms . The hotel also has a very nice onsen with a good sized rotenburo ( open air bath) which was nicer in many of the fancier hotels I’ve stayed in . The hotel has quite a retro air which I quite like as I’m not keen on hotels rooms in shades of black and grey . There’s a fridge & in the room . Rooms come with a yukata , there is plenty of skincare amenities ( cleansing oil , toner etc , lotion ) near the front desk perfect for when you want to travel light and don’t want to lug a ton of products for an overnight stay . Staff are helpful

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and they had someone at the desk who spoke great English (which I never expect, but it does make certain things easier!). They were able to store our luggage for us for a few hours since we initially arrived too early to check-in which was great as it allowed us to go do some sightseeing without our heavy backpacks. We had dinner in the on-site restaurant and it was pretty good (the chef and the waitress were both super friendly as well). I absolutely love that their hot spring is tattoo-friendly! It was so nice to be able to take a bath after a long, cold day. The location is great, too - literally across the street from the JR station and sightseeing bus stop. The whole facility was extremely clean and well-kept despite being a little dated in style. The free breakfast was good, lots of variety, and the breakfast area itself is a pretty place. Free coffee and tea in the lounge was a nice touch. There's a bar on the second floor, too, but we didn't go there. Pretty views of the mountains as well.

Nikko Station Hotel Classic is well situated near transportation such as bus or trains, a super market and there is a plethora of places to eat within a 15 - 20 minute walk. It’s also very easy to catch a bus if you are not much of a walker for those restaurants towards the tourist sights as the bus stop it is literally two minutes from the hotel. Just be aware that despite Nikko being a huge tourist town it is still rural Japan and most places to eat close very, very early by western standards. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable in their treatment of guests. Rooms were clean and beds were clean. Would I stay here again if visiting Nikko? Yes I would.

The location is very good if arriving and departing from the Nikko station opposite the hotel. For an overnight stay, in our case, this proved very convenient. There is a second station just a few minutes' walk away, that connects more directly with Tokyo. If visitors use this station, it's still very convenient for Nikko Station Hotel Classic. Staff were extremely attentive and helpful. At the reception and in the dining room, communication in English was easy. The breakfast was adequate and nicely prepared. In the room the beds were comfortable. Shower was fine. Wifi was satisfactory with a password. The lobby is welcoming with coffee etc. Staff stored our luggage on arrival before check-in time and also after the 10am checkout before we left Nikko in the afternoon. There are frequent buses travelling from Nikko station across the road to various popular tourist sites.

EVERYTHING! THE STAFF, THE LOCATION, AND THE DELICIOUS BREAKFAST.😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
