“Clean and Comfortable with a great host”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for one night at the start of September. The host Ken, was brilliant with suggestions of where to go and how to get there. He gave us a lift into town in the morning.

The hostel itself isn't anything fancy, but it was clean and comfortable and they have private rooms. This definately wasn't a 'hotel', but it was fine for us and exactly what we expected :)

They provide both breakfast (we had scrambled eggs and french toast) and dinner (we had chicken teriyaki) and they were both nice. It was good to have a decent western breakfast after a week of 'random' breakfasts :) Nice mix of price and service and the common area with the book shelf was pretty good.

We found it a bit hard to find (clearly we can't read the directions...) so we just grabbed a taxi. Since it's up the hill in the mountains, I'd suggest this as it was fairly reasonable and once you go there once it's easy to navigate back to. They also run shuttles into town in the morning and will hold your bag for you in the lodge in town.

Overall, great stay. Nikko is absolutely beautiful and I would really reccomend it for a visit.

Also, I would really go and visit the tourism office in town. It's about halfway up the main street, they provide a really good informative map of the area with some additional information on each temple. It helped us, as there wasn't many English signs in the shrine area.

Room Tip: Double rooms have their own bathroom.

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

I stayed here a couple of years ago for two nights. Its quite far from the sights of Nikko but is a great place to stay with and onsen close by and lots of space. The food here was great too, fantastic breakfasts and a I had a great dinner too. Nikko pretty much closes down at night so its a nice place to spend your evenings too. The staff were really helpful and made the stay a happy one.

“Great host and beautiful location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Nikko is a beautiful part of the world. Nikko Park Lodge was easy to access by taxi from the station, expect to pay around 750yen for the trip up the hill to the lodge. Ken, our host was friendly, knowledgeable and a great cook! Accommodation is basic but great value for the money. We'd love to come back to see the snow!

“Very Warm and Friendly Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

The Nikko Park Lodge Hotel is one of the place you must go.
There is a good balance between price and service.
We loved the atmopsphere, the interior and the rooms, even if very easy, but in the same time comfortable and silence.
The owner (Ken-san), is wonderful, always ready to explain to you where to go and what to visit.
Very close to the hotel there is a hot spring (entrance 400.00 JPY).
And then of course there all the temples and shrines to visit.
If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Nikko I suggest you to go at the Nikko Park Lodge.

“Great place, great people, we'll be back...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

We stayed here while my son was attending hockey camp at the nearby ice arena, and had a great time. Originally we only planned to stay 1 day, but we enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended to 3 days. The room we got (4 beds) was actually better than the one that we booked on the website (twin), so that was a pleasant surprise. Not the flashiest rooms, but for the price quite nice and our kids were very happy with their own beds. All the staff were very friendly and spoke great English. The owner gave us some great info on places to visit around Nikko, which helped out a lot. We had a car, but there were a couple of people without, and the owner even drove them around to some of the sites, which was above and beyond the call of duty. The lodge has a nice little restaurant as well that serves breakfast and dinner, including vegetarian and vegan food. The vegetarian curry was excellent, and the kids loved the teriyaki chicken. There's a quaint little onsen within walking distance that was very nice, including a small rotenburo (outside bath). Free wi-fi and computers you can use. Overall we had a great time in Nikko, and particularly at the Nikko Park Lodge. Highly recommended.
