Stay Nikko Guesthouse

The guy who manages the guesthouse is the nicest, friendliest, most helpful person ever. He really made our stay feel so warm and homely even though it was winter. They can receive luggage which is pretty amazing and we needed to send luggage to the airport and he spent a lot of effort working out how we could do it. It really made me feel at ease the amount of help and attention he gave. He sat down and helped us work out which hikes to do and which bus to take. He had bus maps and hike maps, we were time poor so we arrived with little planning and he helped us work out how to do the things we wanted to do. The room itself was incredibly clean and tidy, I felt absolutely comfortable there, he lives right next door so if you need anything you can ring a bell and he will come out and answer your questions. He also has a laundry service where he will wash dry and fold a certain amount of laundry - either free if you stay for 3 days or more or 1k yen. You can just feel the amount of effort and thought they put into the operation. I really want to come back one day, it was such a highlight of our trip.

By now you would've read many reviews about this guesthouse and we can confirm that this place is truly outstanding!!! Host hospitality +10!!! It's located just a short 10 minute walk from Nikko station. Our Guest House was behind the reception area and had 2 bedrooms and 2 washrooms. It also came with a refrigerator, microwave and small oven. Both bedrooms had very comfortable beds and pillows. Aside from the accommodation which was AMAZING, The host really makes this place unique. He allowed us to leave our luggage before we were able to check in so that we can explore the city. He also gave us a map with a small introduction of places to see and time schedules. And finally, when it was time to check out, he graciously gave us a ride to the Nico train station. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse!

We love this cozy authentic Japanese House (the questhouse part). Very comfortable, super clean, modern facilities, with attention to detail that made us feel homey. The area is quiet with beautiful view of the river in front, but very close to the main area (train station, cafes, family mart). Kenji-san the owner very friendly and helpful. Gave us map & explaining recommended area, transportation and recommended place to eat. He also allowed us to keep our luggage after check out time. Arigatogozaimasu Kenji-san🙏🏼

We really enjoyed staying at Stay Nikko Guesthouse. Upon arrival we were very warmly greeted by Ken-san and Pi-san. They both went out of their way to make us feel welcome, helped us understand local recommended spots and even helped us with our laundry. On our way out, since I had some heavy luggage, he even drove me to the train station. Honestly, they made the stay special for us and we really appreciate their hospitality. Would highly recommend staying at their place!

We loved the Nikko Guesthouse. Plenty of room for sleeping for 4 adults in the upstairs bedroom. We had breakfast and coffee in the kitchen and sitting area in the morning. My family said they want to come back, they really loved it and they like coming to Nikko.
