Great location centered in the city. Cleanliness was perfect as well as the noise level during my stay. Service by staff is 10/10.

Awful experience here. The pool, sauna, and pet Terrance were all closed. Told to use the pool across the street at the Hilton. No advanced notice. Paid for the pet package and I had to call the front desk repeatedly upon arrival to bring up the items included. Only got two bowls and a dog bed. Staff was rude and charged incorrectly. Room was dirty and some items didn’t even work in the room.

"Clean and Quiet Hotel, but Lacked Flexibility and Communication"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed October 31, 2025 NEW
The hotel was very clean and quiet, which we really appreciated. However, there were a couple of issues during our stay. We arrived about 30 minutes before check-in, and even though our room was already ready, we were told we’d have to pay a $50 early check-in fee or wait until 3 PM. We had a baby with us, and it was disappointing that they weren’t more understanding in that situation. Additionally, the pool was under construction, and we weren’t informed in advance. Although the hotel offered an alternative option to use a nearby hotel’s pool, it wasn’t convenient for us, especially since we were still charged an amenities fee even though we couldn’t use the on-site facilities. Overall, the property itself was clean and quiet, but the lack of flexibility and communication made the experience less enjoyable than expected.

Hotel Nikko truly exceeded my expectations in all senses. The location is central, the ambiance within the hotel is peaceful, the rooms are large and so nice that you won't feel like leaving. Staff was welcoming and made us feel at home. Can't wait for our next visit!
