"Cancelled Reservation Without Contacting Me"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 20, 2025 NEW
Hotel Nikko cancelled my reservation because I did not call to let them know I would be 12 hours late to arrive. I would have appreciated them giving me a call, as other hotels have done in the past. I was in the ER and have proof of why I wasn't able to arrive on time Weds evening and instead arrived Thursday at 3pm. I arrived during my paid stay for two days but had a medical emergency and had to move my flight to arrive later. They proceeded to tell me there was nothing they could do, even though they had available rooms. They made me rebook for the single night 12/18 (even though my company had already paid for both nights, 12/17 AND 12/18) and even asked if I wanted to upgrade to my original sized bed but I explained I couldn't because of my company's travel policy price. which I think should have given me an upgrade given the circumstances. I looked in my initial agreement and the fine print does not explain they would cancel me as a no show if I didn't arrive by 12pm the night the reservation began. They told me IF I had called it would have been fine but because I was in a medical emergency, I could not call them. In addition, the rooms were not clean and the bed was really uncomfortable. Given the amount of amazing hotels in SF, I would def skip this one.

"No very professional in their conduct"

Reviewed December 10, 2025 NEW
Even though the hotel itself was great. The information on the price they give you wrong. When you book your stay they tell you the price of each day plus TAXES & FEES Tourism Assessment $75.39 Business District Assessment 3.50% for San Francisco county City of San Francisco Occupancy Tax $306.17 $19 Discounted Amenity Fee $156.59 $19 Amenity Fee BUT then when you book out after your stay they then added $40 per day per person for the use of the pool and gym EVEN if you didn’t even use it - as was there for you to use and even if the pool was closed - I mentioned this and the desk clerk didn’t really care plus when I said why it wasn’t included in the fees he had no excuse but said it was included in the terms and conditions - NOT REALLY AN EXCUSE OR FARE

"Joy at The Nikko with Spencer Day at Feinstein's"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 08, 2025 NEW
We had the great good fortune of staying at the Nikko Hotel for Spencer Day’s show at Feinstein’s on Saturday, December 8th. Please be sure to bring Spencer back! The Nikko is an absolutely beautiful hotel, gorgeous from the lobby to the guest rooms. The staff are friendly and helpful and make you feel at home. Prior to seeing Spencer Day at Feinstein’s we had sushi and cocktails at the Kanpai Sushi Lounge. The bar was well stocked and the staff friendly and attentive. In that regard, special shoutouts to Eric, whose attentiveness and professionalism were extraordinary. We really appreciated Eric, who was so kind and helpful. We had the pre-show dinner at Feinstein’s, which was excellent. We always look forward to the pleasure of seeing Spencer Day when he’s at the Nikko. His show at Feinstein’s was fantastic. On Sunday we had the brunch at ANZU, which was amazing with its combination of American and Japanese breakfast choices. Every aspect of this weekend’s experience was wonderful. The value of being able to stay in the same venue as the artist performs was incomparable. The Nikko just shined.
