Very quiet apart hotel, little outside the centre. Easy to walk to train station, grocery and restaurants. Projector TV was a hit with the kids and we enjoyed the artificial hot spring tub.

Clean, modern and overall very happy with my stay there!
Room was great. Clean, full of quality amenities, comfortable bed, cool tech. Nice bath, free drinks in fridge, and tooth brushes, bathroom kits available in bathroom.
Not the greatest location — but of a walk to town.
Went in off-season (December) and it was hard to find food.
The check-in process was confusing and a little annoying. You have to check in via a tablet in the room by filling out some fields, taking a photo, then verify your face on live video through a call centre.
Location was very convenient. Quiet area. Good local food everywhere. Artificial onsen worked well.

Excellent stay! We stayed for one night with 6 people. I should note that it is NOT a two bedroom, but there are two separate rooms. One room has 2 double beds that are basically touching, the other room is in the living room where you can roll out two double mats to sleep on the floor. The room does come with a 3L bottle/keg of beer. We had an excellent stay!

My family enjoyed our stay in the large, comfortable, extremely tidy and well fit-out property. Although on our arrival it was hard to walk to (with suitcases) from Tobu-Nikko, and very few buses. Access was much easier when we hired a car. Close to small convenience store and short drive to grocery store. Best was the artificial hot spring bath. Thank you for hosting this lovely property.

Advice for those would like to order a breakfast: you need to cook the breakfast by yourself. they will prepare the smoothie, toast, butter and syrup only. I am pretty okay with this cz my mom she enjoyed cooking. Generally speaking this place is really good.

Comfortable, spacious apartment
Spacious apartment with a washer dryer combo. Multiple seating and bedding options. Full kitchen for making meals at "home." Great place for a family with younger kids to stay, especially since some of us weren't feeling well and didn't want to leave the apartment.

The walk to the station was about 9 minutes but besides that the room was great. It supplied every need. I asked the wife how long the hotel had been opened since everything was like new but she didn’t know.
Everything comes with remote control including heated floors and was very modern. I was impressed. If you are looking for a VERY comfortable stay in Nikko this is the choice.

Fantastic stay, tedious check-in
Super clean and very well furnished apartments, spacious and has everything you would need for your stay. Really enjoyed our stay here.
However the automated check-in process is super cumbersome. You have to do a pre check-in, then upon arrival have to do another tedious process.
The room was very spacious, clean, and full of nice amenities. Nikko is such a beautiful town full of great places to see.
There was a lack of communication that made the check-in process difficult.

We love the walking distance from Tobu Nikko Station. We love how spacious the unit was. However if you are on the ground floor you can hear the upstairs noise of people walking and stomping.

Can't wait to return!
Really like this apt like hotel. We can relax and cook after day of sightseeing. The room is so spatious that we missed it so much after returning back to Tokyo. The big bath soak is so nice. I do recommend taking a taxi to and from the the train station if you have large suitcases with you. The taxi cost only about 1000jpy using the Go app.

A bit of a walk...
The first thing to say is that this hotel is a bit of a walk from the Tobu-Nikko station and probably is better suited to people arriving by car.
The second thing to say is that they have a bit of an annoying guest registration where you have to enter a lot of information on a tablet computer, even if you entered it already while booking.
But what was so great here was that the room felt really luxurious, the own little onsen bathtub was suprisingly popular with us and we really loved it.
The stay here was actually my wife's favorite during our trip.
