Nikko Park Lodge Tobu Station

Definitely one of the closest if not the closest accommodation within station. The owner also operates a bar right beside the accommodation so if you want to have late night chat or get together, its not a problem. The bed is also heated, which is desirable during the winter or cold weather. The only downside is there is no dedicated front desk. You have to call their phone number if they are not around. If not for other waiting travelers who have japanese phone, we could have been waiting for hours.

Great location, just across from the Nikko Tobu Station. However, need to hire more people to maintain the hotel. There is no receptionist for checkins between 3-10. Found cobwebs by the sinks and even on the partitions between the lower and upper bed. There is black mold in the bathroom and water pools at the bottom of the shower unit. With 2 shower rooms built for 24 guests, there is really only one shower room for 24 guests because one of the shower rooms cannot be used as you can not close the door to lock it! Wifi is not reliable.

Not recommended for this hotel 1. Old ,dirty and unhygienic rooms. 2.Very slow wifi 3. Bed linens were not clean. 4.Room light only one. Not suitable for midnight. 5.A little expensive hotel

Ok yes it’s convenient ( close to TobuNiko station & supermarket ) but if you choose here , select the Deluxe bunk room or private rooms. Mixed dorm (upstairs) has uncomfortable beds, no pillow case, thin walls, zero amenity in kitchen ( no cooking capacity , limited forks and plates , tiny fridge), towel you could barely wipe your brow with , mouldy smell , odd bathroom configuration , no hangout area, ZERO VIBE despite the big bar and lobby area downstairs. The operators have missed the opportunity to make a vibrant and hip experience for people … and I’m not some young 20 something …. Just wanted a nice comfy fun place with decent facility. Maybe should have paid a bit more for a hotel, sad that beautiful Nikko did not have a equally great hostel for a few days.

Excellent location just opposite the train station and main bus stop for the world heritage site, and 5 minutes walk to a big supermarket which most people head to in the evening to get discounted sushi for dinner. The hostel is good value and the deluxe area is fairly new and comfortable beds. But the building is old and the renovation was a bit strange. For example they had put in 2 arty sinks but one didn’t work and hasn’t been fixed.

The hotel is located right next to the station, so that’s very convenient. Though, the rooms are very outdated and worn out, including the strong dusty smell in the room. The Wi-Fi did not work in our room.

Location is unbeatable which really made a difference for my last day. Because of the crazy traffic jams and crowds that resulted in missing buses, my itinerary ended up being extremely tight and I would have missed my train if not for the hostel being so super convenient. But the shower, omg! The lock is those kind of hotel one that allows one to open the door for up to 5cm whereby one can already look in. But it faces into the dry area where you have no choice but to remove your clothes and hang all your new clothes there because the wet room inside has no place to hang anything. But the door that separates the wet and dry room is so translucent, anyone can really just peep in and see you showering unless you really shower at the side/corner. Considering there's only one shower for this floor, the chances of that happening is quite high - I have never felt so unsafe showering in a hostel before... Also, the kitchen facilities looks like it hasn't been upgraded for 40 years, I wasn't even sure if the tap was working since it looked bit wonky. Also the Japanese sliding door often gets pulled open in a way that exposes my bed and me sleeping to anyone in the living room, and there's no curtains to block it. I know the price is not bad, but really, can't they like at least maintain the cleanliness of the place - even if they don't upgrade it... Also, staff seem kinda friendly but I realized he didn't really give a proper intro to the place cos I didn't even know where the shower was and had to ask around 😅 Heard a lot of complaints about ventilation and noise, but I have to say that everyone was super polite in my room once it got dark, such that it was pretty quiet and people tried to keep their voices as low as possible when they spoke.

Pros: -The location is really convenient cause it’s near station. -The staff is really friendly -Internet speed is good too -They have good amenities like micrwave, locker, etc Cons: -I couldnt sleep cause the rooms are sensitive to noise (walls are very thin) -There’s a loud noise coming from faucet (when someone is using) -One tiny pillow that’s not comfortable - Shower is either flooded or lights are broken - Just one tiny face towel, bring your own body towel Overall, as much as convenient the location of the place is, I couldnt sleep well and felt not comfortable to stay. So, I decided to checkout very early after my experience.

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
