Luxe hotels in Nikko

'Tourist IG trap. Feels nothing like Japanese. Very much an American ran hotel that pretends to be Japanese. Food both breakfast and dinner very westernized Japanese food and don’t taste good. Everything is designed to look good for a camera but no substance. My shoes were very dirty from a hike. Staff informed us they shoe cleaning service for free. Turns out just tapping the shoe. I went to front desk and ask if I can pay for a proper shoe clean. Staff was confident they have this service but...

'The room was beautiful and the private onsen is great for those who have tattoos that cannot be covered up. The rooms were spacious and the welcome snacks were delicious.'

'Very nice “classic” style older hotel kept up very well. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the view of the gorge (river) was great, and the dinner and breakfast absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I have a tattoo that is bigger than “one point” (palm size) so was not able to use the onsen. I wish the hotel would reconsider tattoo policy because it is so common for people from all countries including Japan to have tattoo art. This is the only reason why I could not give overall 5 stars.'

'オールインクルーシブでお酒飲み放題なのは良かったですし、温泉も満足できました。 建物や部屋はかなり年季を感じますが、清掃はきちんとされていて、不快感はありませんでした。部屋も広めです。 一方で、食事は種類こそ多いものの、ファミリー向けの内容が中心で、一品ごとの質や特別感はやや物足りなく感じました。 子供連れや学生グループには楽しみやすいホテルだと思いますが、落ち着いた食事や上質さを求めるシニア層には少し合わないかもしれません。 個人的には「一度行けば十分かな」という印象でした。'

'綺麗でした。'

'This is our first experience at a Japanese style hotel, ryokan. The overall stay was excellent as expected. The menu in their buffet (all you can eat) looked good, though we could go over most of menu items, too many items. The ones we tasted were excellent. We liked the variety of desserts served. We must mention that staff services were excellent in every aspect.'

'ごはんは、人が多すぎる。'
