"Positives: 1: staff exceptional, friendly and helpful. 2: very, very clean and comfortable; 3. Stunning location. I think all the rooms have lake view (which is across the road). Once the leaves are out it might be more obscured, but stil have a beautiful wilderness-type feel; 4 right on the yumoto onsen Tobu bus line. Easy to get to and from everywhere on that line. Busses run every 1/2 hour or so but the last bus drops off around 7pm, so it’s not a late night; 5. Indoor and outdoor onsen: I was usually in it by myself but it was also early spring off season. The less positives: 1. no bar; 2 no outdoor sitting area (except a couple of benches); 3. While the onsen is nice to have, it’s not nice looking. Would be better to spruce it up with some greenery to hide the ugly fence surrounding; 4. No one informed us of the cafe where lunch can be served. It has a lovely porch and different menu. The dining room gets its own category: 1. The breakfast is mediocre. My least favorite part of the stay. It’s served. Minimal choice. Eggs were strange We actually ordered a boxed breakfast one morning and it was better. 2. Dinner: the food was tasty but very,very expensive for what you get. Small portions. 3. Fine dining. If that’s what you want, that is what you get and pay for. 4. There’s not a lot of choice in town, so no choice but to eat here. I would stay in Nikko and visit lake Chuzenji and do the marshland hike. Not to be missed. "

"Really nice spa and staff. "

"This spot was amazing all the way around. Like others have said given that it is a journey to get to, spend at least 2 nights. It was the perfect spot to slow down and relax. The food is amazing whether in the fancy dining room or in the cafe. The onsens overlooking nature and the waterfall were spectacular. Staff member April really made our stay great given her recommendations, explaining and teaching about local cuisines offered. The service is 5 star. I’d definitely return !! "

"Yes very helpful"

"Only the price of the stay makes it a 5 star hotel! Fabulous grounds and rooms over Chuzenji lake but the service was dismal. Rooms not ready at check-in but what’s worse is that one of the rooms given had marks of someone having sat on the bed as we walked in. Allocates time slots for breakfast with a few seats at the grilled counter of the teppanyaki restaurant with additional fragrance of the grilled fish from the night before and facing a wall with that. Sharp fish bones found in 2 of the savoury cakes during our afternoon tea. Stupid seating arrangements at the Lake House restaurants with a very uncomfortable sofa and no stock on the only Italian wine we ordered. We have been clients of RC Tokyo for 17 years with no problem at all but the RC Nikko is a disgrace to the Japanese welcoming tradition. It comes down to the hotel management and this GM should be fired! There is a management problem at every level and it generally comes down from the top! Stay away! "
