Nikko Station Hotel Classic

Nikko Station Hotel Classic

8/10 Good
"Convenient location, across from Nikko station. Some corners of my room were slightly dusty, but overall, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The hotel may be a little dated but this didn’t bother me. Facilities are well-maintained. Enjoyed the on-site onsen and complimentary beverages in the morning and evening. There was a slight issue at check-in which the helpful staff worked to resolve."
