Turtle Inn Nikko annex Hotori-an

The room is very small, but that is of course to be expected as it’s a 2-star hotel. However, even though it’s a 2-star hotel, it felt like a 5 star for me because of the super nice and sweet owners and the location was just perfect for every prefecture I wanted to visit in Nikko. Also, the value for money you get here including breakfast was so worth it! Highly recommend this place!

Nice hôtel if you want to stay away from the crowded part of the city. You will only hear the river flowing next to your room. Nice rooms with tatami and a wonderful onsen that can be privatized.

One of two turtle inns in Nikko. Great location and very helpful staff. The private onsen overlooks the River. Rooms are simple but have everything needed. Breakfast is continental style. Location is hard to beat. Walk out and turn right and you are entering the area of the abyss. The shrines are about 1/3 of a mile away. There is also a villa just across the river that is worth visiting.

A cozy place on the riverside at Nikko. Walking distance from the bus station and the convinience store. We used their private onsen every day and it was so relaxing!

Not very central at all, so without a car you'll got some walking to do to the bus station. The man at the front desk was incredibly nice and welcoming! Truly the highlight of the stay. Putting it into perspective though how good ryokans across Japan can be, this doesn't deserve more than 3.5 stars for pricing and value. We had no towels in the room (needed to ask). We also did find hairs on our beds, while the bathroom was squeaky clean. The worst part was that people slammed doors and talking loudly until 11.30pm and it started again at 6.20am in the morning. I don't think this was guests, it must have been someone doing kitchen things or cleaning. You could hear this through earplugs in our room which was directly above the entry area. Overall, wouldn't stay again.

We loved our stay here! The onsen is so delightful- a nice view of the river to enjoy while you soak. I wanted to keep the turtle print pajamas- very cute. The breakfast was good and the snacks and tea were perfect for us when it rained. The location is not far from the bus stop, restaurants, and the amazing wonderful jiro statues.

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Lovely place on the river with a private onsen (non reserved with a 30 minute max). Staff wonderful, clean rooms and a nice breakfast for an additional 1500 yen per person. This area is so beautiful and has so much to offer.

Clean B& B with comfortable living area. Enjoyable breakfast at extra charge. Hot Springs experience availability daily from 16.00 to 23.00. Compliments green tea & water. Located on edge of residential area short walk to Jizel status. Beds on the floor, these were more comfortable than the expected. The shower was easy to use & powerful. Clothes dryer facility.complimentary toiletries if required.
