Helped us figure out the car parking and any questions we had. We booked the delux room and The room was a good size. Felt very safe during our stay with best part being you can leave all your valuables in the hotel and go for a swim to the beach.

  Stay Nikko Guesthouse

  - “Stay Nikko Guesthouse exceeded my expectations. 1) Space-wise, the combined space (of 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms (with a Japanese-style bathtub)/Living & Dining area/pantry/laundry area) was far more than enough for 5-6 people, let alone the three of us who actually were there. I also love the cat-theme decor and cute furniture/amenities:) 2) The owner was very warm and one of the most helpful I've encountered. Not only did she take the time to help us with our series of questions (when our check-in was already past 9.30PM), but she also helped drive us to the train station. Her recommendation really made a difference to our trip...we would have tried to lug our large suitcases from Nikko to Tokyo (thinking that it was only a train ride away) if not for her advice to pre-send them to our Tokyo hotel. Thank you once again! (...also for recommending the pudding and other delicious local treats!)”
