Nikko Hoshinoyado

The room that we got came with an amazing view. The only problem we had was the toilet is too cold even there's a heated floor. We requested for a portable heater which was a great hello for our 2 nights stay.

這次臨時訂了星之宿，是一間很有氣氛的溫泉旅館，雖然離車站有段距離，但旅館有接駁車免費接送，下次造訪日光仍會入住。

A wonderful stay in June 2014. I wanted a full onsen (hot springs hotel) experience, and my daughter and I had plans to fully explore the temples in Nikko. The location was superb - 100 meters from the red Shinkyo Bridge, and right at the entrance to the temple areas. The carving that gave rise to the saying "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" is a 15-minute hike away. The only downside is that there aren't many restaurants in this portion of Nikko, so you have to walk or take a bus or taxi to the main area of town. There is a fine steak house just down the hill from the onset, but be sure to check its hours, since it closes early. My first choice for a stay in Nikko!

Nice Japanese style room. Clean and spacious. Great staff and service. Good food.

Ou Travelocity reservation said that we needed to call in advance to allow us entry to the hotel and that there was no front desk--both wrong. We had no cell phone service, so the call from the tourist bureau turned into comedy because the hotel did not speak English. Meals were not included in our reservation, but the hotel made it difficult to eat at the hotel, and said that dinner the first night at the hotel was not an option. While it is near the temples & World Heritage sites, in winter at least the evening dining options are quite limited. Many basic arrangements were made more difficult because few members of the staff spoke English.

・ホテルのたたずまいは非常にすばらしい。 ・観光名所から近く便利 ・ホテルは古いながらもきれいにしてある。 ・お風呂は温泉ではないように感じたが十分なたたずまい ・食事はコースであったが、毎度料理を持ってくるタイミングが悪くまた給仕のサービスもはっきり言ってゼロ点。あまり気分よく食べれないので、食事は避けたほうがいいかもしれない。 （水やお茶はこちらから指定しないと持ってこない。料理メニューにないものがあっても説明がなく、不親切）

The hotel room, front staff great and welcoming attitude and the incredible onsen are just what you need after and a day of climbing and trekking in Nikko. The staff is perfect into guiding you into a first ryokan experience. Highly recommended!

It is a real Japanese Hotel, right around the corner from the walk up the hill to see the temples. Dinner was the same, the real thing.
