Decent hotel located close to the central area. I was impressed with receptionist that willing to inform about the hotel. However, front staff was lack of willing to help an un reliable. I have been told by their staff via expedia chat that I can park for free until 13.00 of check out date, but when I arrived suddenly charged 1500 yen and have to pay extra after 12.00pm with irresponsible to the previous info.

Would stay again
It was a great place to stay, and ideally located within walking distance to many shopping areas.
The rooms were clean and nicely decorated ; the staff were very efficient, friendly, helpful, and accommodating; and we had a nice view from our room.

We stayed in different hotels of Nikko through out Japan, thus so far this was the oldest/dated facility we came across. We had 2 rooms for 2 nights. Beds were super uncomfortable and it was a pain to spend 2 nights at this hotel. We wanted to cancel our last night of stay, but hotel would not accept it. Walking to busy area was easy. More on the quiet area of town but nearby the shopping district. Many newly built hotels in Kyoto, we would definitely pick another hotel when we revisit and not be coming back to this hotel.
