Nikko Station Hotel Classic

Very conveniently located opposite JR Nikko and 3 min walk away from Tobu Nikko stations and the buses for the area. Good-sized traditional room with dated bathroom. We got a rather dingy view of the carpark and buildings at the back (maybe our request of a bright, high floor room with nature view did not get through) and the staff were not able to accommodate our request to change, citing full capacity. A limited western oriented breakfast was included but could have more Japanese, fish and vegetarian options, as well as less stern reminders to make guests feel less intimidated and more welcomed. Our fav feature was the onsen and lounge with free drinks machine. We would stay here again, given a more accommodating atmosphere.

Probably the most accessible hotel in the whole of Nikko and provides public onsen and free breakfast. Rooms are also large (for Japan’s standard) and comfortable.

Stayed additional nights because of comfortable room, good location, eateries nearby and wonderful helpful staff. However room internet connection was very frustrating on many occasions throughout our stay
