Nikko Park Lodge Tobu Station

I’m giving one star because the experience was honestly quite uncomfortable. There was a strong sewage-like smell inside my sleeping pod, which made it very unpleasant to rest. Cleanliness and ventilation really need improvement. I also noticed electrical sockets secured with tape, which did not feel safe or professional. On top of that, guests are required to make their own beds — which isn’t a big issue by itself, but combined with the other problems, it didn’t feel worth the price. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Nikko Park Lodge Tobu Station is only a short 3-minute walk from the station, which makes it very easy to reach. All the facilities were great. Everything was clean—the sheets, toilets, wash areas, and the dorm room itself. For the price, this hostel is much cheaper than many other options, and the place has a warm, homey vibe that I enjoyed. This is a dorm-type hostel, so you share the room with others. If you only need a place to rest after a full day in Nikko, this should be your top choice. Expect other people around, but it’s comfortable. I honestly don’t understand the low ratings on Google and other sites. For the price, cleanliness, and overall feel of the place, this hostel deserves a 6/5 rating. If I return to Nikko, I will stay here again.

Average and homey. But don't expect too much.  What you get is less than what you paid for. The facility only has one shower and two toilets for several people. The house has no centralised heater. Sink for brushing your teeth has no warm water. No big deal though except for the noise. The place was actually quiet but depends on who the other guests are. Unfortunately during my stay a group of guests were bonding at the living room area adjacent to bedroom around 10pm. Shouting, laughing, singing, dragging chairs, stomping their feet as if they are not on wooden floors.  They were literally partying. All these happens while other guests are trying to rest and sleep. How rude, insensitive, and uncivilised can that be? Hotel reps did not do anything to stop this until around 2AM. ||||The otherwise restful stay becomes stressful. Be wary in staying here guys. You've been warned.

It was excellent in the location right next to the station and local shops. The room was clean as well as the toilets and shower - I wish that the rooms were warm - i was cold while in the rooms

This hotel is a reworked apartment building that looks like out of Kowloon's walled city. The wifi works only 50% of the time, the towels we had in our closet were thrown in - unsure if they were fresh. We stayed, but only barely. The beds were clean and the location is good, hence two stars.

It was really our own doing that we had not booked any hotels way before our stay, so many places were fully booked and we didn't have much choices left. But what made me made this booking was it mentioned parking is available. They should say parking is LIMITED, to about 6 cars or so. The front desk was not apologetic about it, I mean, it's not his fault as well, but he does not need to be all agitated and fierce as well. The rooms are old, the passageway is full or cobwebs, careful if you are tall, you don't want to walk right into one on the low ceiling. Nikko would have been perfect had we chose a different accommodation, which we saw when we were here.

Terrible experience. We got a dubble bed and they gave us only a single for 2 people and when we asked if it was our bed he said yes... he pointed up stairs for us to stay. But he ment the top bunk so we went up stairs like his instructions. And when we went out we left some stuff out and they took it. I only noticed my slides but later on found out they took a few other things. Communication was poor and the owners need to specify what room as he got very annoyed that we were up there. When he told us it was up stairs..

At arrival the service was okay. The building itself is old and dated and had a weird smell to it. The room was big in size but had an awful lingering spice smell. There was a hole in the ceiling. The towels also smelled like spicy food. The view and location however was beautiful and convenient. You can see they don’t invest enough in their hotel in looks and maintenance. Easy for a 1 night stay for quick convenience. Not recommended for long stay.

The one good thing about this hotel is the location. It's right off the train station and right in front of the bus terminal and so is super convenient for a visit to Nikko. The positives ends there. The impressions start from the street. It looks like a run down cafe and then you realize that it is a run down cafe. Then, the man at reception was oddly unfriendly. When you're lead into the actual hotel, it's a dirty old apartment complex above that cafe. The first thing that struck me when I opened the door was that, even though it's a non-smoking property, the place smelled like cigarette smoke. I opened all the windows for hours and couldn't get rid of the smell. It's seeped into the furniture. The duvets of the beds stink. Like they reek. I removed them and had to wash my hands. The place is incredibly shabby and uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Okay hotel. Large clean room with two beds. The bed was definitely one of the hardest/firmest mattresses I've ever slept on. Woke up after 7 hours with a sore but not bad back. Small but clean bathroom. Tiny kitchenette with water kettle, and a large fridge/freezer. Strangely, no utensils, plates, mugs. Glad I'd read the TripAdvisor reviews so we knew to bring our own coffee mugs. Free parking for five cars. And there's an elevator. Yen 7840 per night seems reasonable. There are a lot of B&Bs and hotels in Nikko. Not sure why they didn't show up when I was searching. I think I'd try a different place if we return to Nikko in the future
