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.

"Bad Experience at the Nikko Hotel in San Francisco, CA."
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 30, 2025 NEW
The front desk Asian lady (assistant manager) lacked English verbal skills during the check-in. She was loud and could not articulate her words clear. We had to ask her to repeat herself many times. It was very frustrating. She also charged us $32.00 for an early check-in, even though we had arrived at 1:10 pm. We decided not to return to the Nikko Hotel anymore.
