Nikko Apartments

[Advantages] - Many hotels with kitchens are a little dirty, but this one was like a model room and was clean. - Although it is an artificial hot spring, there is a large open-air stone bath, which is exciting. If you prefer a shower, there is a separate glass-enclosed shower room, so you can use both. The water pressure is strong. - Cleaning is done every three days, but there are two bath towels and two face towels for each person, so it's not a problem. - The room key is an electronic lock that changes with each check-in, so security is high even when the room is unattended. - The wifi is fast enough for five people to use. Even if you don't have HDMI, you can connect to a projector via wifi. It also has a surround sound function. - The air conditioner works great. - Five free Keurig capsule coffees are included. - In addition to the sofa, there is also a Logos folding camping chair, so five people can sit comfortably. [Disadvantages] - We used both the first and second floors, but the first floor was very noisy with footsteps. Even the sound of cleaning at lunchtime was as loud as an earthquake. Your satisfaction will likely vary depending on where you stay, or on the lifestyle of the people living on the second floor. Of course, there are no shops, so if you don't want to go out, you'll need to stock up on drinks and food.

We stayed at the hotel in October 2024. We took a room for 8 people, there were four of us in it. Pros: 1. The room has almost everything you need, from a washing machine to a capsule coffee machine and your own grill. 2. Very comfortable pillows and futons. 3. There is a full set of accessories for dogs. 4. There is your own onsen. 5. Heated floors in the recreation area. 6. Parking for cars. 7. Balcony with a huge table. Cons: 0. Bad location. About 20 minutes walk from the station in the opposite direction from the attractions. The hotel is in a dark, remote place. There are not sidewalks everywhere on the way to the hotel. On one side of the hotel is an industrial zone, on the other - a highway. We barely found it at night. There are no cafes or public places nearby, but there are two combinis within a 10-minute walk. There are no bus stops nearby - walk to the station, then take a bus to the attractions. The hotel is primarily intended for vacationers arriving in their own cars. The hotel itself looks like a classic American motel with entrances from the street. 1. Painful check-in: you need to enter your data into the tablet in the room, our data was lost several times, and we had to re-enter it. They require a photo of your passport, a photo of the person. Then you need to call a live employee and confirm your check-in on camera, answer questions. We could not get through to him for about 10 minutes. In total, it took us at least half an hour to check-in. 2. I discovered that the tablet we checked in on had a camera on while it was on the stand and was filming everything that was happening in the room. Of course, we did not give permission for this. I recommend removing the tablet from the stand and placing it face down on the table. 3. One toilet and one shower in a room designed for 8 people. 4. Eight people won't fit in this room. Two double beds are in one room (not very convenient, no privacy), but there is no place to put four futons for the other guests. We barely fit two futons, moving the table to the side. 5. No iron. 6. The washing machine does not show the temperature. I threw my sneakers in the dryer, after drying they shrank by two sizes (had to throw them out), since the temperature was extra-high, but there was no information about this on the washing machine display. 7. Broken door to the bathroom, slightly worn furniture.

The house is very comfortable and clean. Many thoughtful amenities provided in a clean and modern unit for the comfort of guests. My kids especially enjoyed the Japanese room. We are very satisfied with this stay and would happily return. Check in is fully automated and pretty cool via iPad

There was a manager who kindly gave me advice on sightseeing. The room amenities were complete with cooking utensils, but there were no ladles for cooking in the pot, no chopsticks, and some things that were slightly lacking for self-cooking. There was no shampoo in the bath, only soap. However, considering the price, it was a great value accommodation👍
