Candeo Hotels Utsunomiya

8/10 Good

"A Convenient and Comfortable Stay in Utsunomiya Whenever I visit Utsunomiya, I always choose Candeo Hotels Utsunomiya because of its unbeatable location. It's directly connected to Utsunomiya Station, making it incredibly convenient whether you're arriving by train or heading out for the day. The room is spacious enough to fully open large suitcases, which is something I always appreciate. I especially like the long daybed by the window—it provides a comfortable place to relax, read, or simply enjoy the view. The hotel is also connected to Utsunomiya Terrace, where you'll find a variety of restaurants and a supermarket, making meals and shopping extremely convenient. The hotel has self-service washers and dryers, and payments can be made through a phone app, which is very convenient. However, the dryers cost ¥200 for every 10 minutes, so doing laundry can become a bit expensive. Guests also have complimentary access to the Sky Spa on the top floor. While it's a beautiful facility, it's not a natural hot spring (onsen). During my three-night stay, I only visited it once because I found it more relaxing to soak in the bathtub in my own room rather than take the elevator up to the 14th floor. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable, with a good variety of choices. My only suggestion would be to provide trays, as it would make it much easier to carry multiple dishes and drinks in one trip instead of making several trips back and forth."

HOTEL NEWITAYA

8/10 Good

"We stayed at HOTEL NEWITAYA for 3 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. The location is convenient, with the train station about a 10-minute walk away and bus links just 2 minutes from the hotel. There are plenty of amenities nearby, including FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, and several restaurants, making it easy to find food and essentials. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and we felt comfortable during our visit. Considering the affordable room rates, it offered excellent value for money. Overall, a pleasant and convenient place to stay, and we would happily recommend it to other travellers."

8/10 Good

"Fairly new Hotel. No dinning restaurant however hotel provides free snack for the first 100 guests 8 PM to 11 pm. Our snack was sashimi rice with hot soup and pickles. Hotel staff refer a Restaurant nearby. The restaurant was very good. The hotel breakfast was wonderful."

Toyoko Inn Utsunomiya Ekimae No.1

10/10 Excellent

"The typical business hotel done right. Affordable, clean, quiet, comfortable and near the train station. Plus it comes with free breakfast which is a rarity nowadays. Lines for breakfast can get long at opening time, so it's good if you can wait it out until about an hour later."
