When you walk in, the lobby looks nice and impressive. Once you enter the floors to the rooms, the carpets are badly stained. There’s a moldy smell to the hall and the carpets are so worn down, they partially covered...them with improvised pieces of other carpet pieces. The whole floor was bumpy, the suitcase had a hard time getting over the bumps, so we had to carry it. We booked this place especially because they offered a sauna and wellness area. When we asked where to find the area the staff at the reception told us, we didn’t book it and it is not included in our room booking. We were very surprised as we especially looked for a place with these facilities. We went to our room and checked our booking, to realize WE DID BOOK IT. We have screenshots of the listed services to prove it. We went back down to the reception to show them our booking. It’s THEN they told us, the wellness area is closed due to constructional work. So it doesn’t matter whether we booked it or not. We paid additional to get access to wellness on my wife’s birthday, we drove all the way to have a nice evening at that hotel to be fully disappointed. They said it must have been a mistake by Booking.com, as they state it very clearly on their website and we should’ve checked their website instead of relying on Booking.com. This was a very frustrating experience with Hotel NIKKO and we’ll not return to this place.

Last time I was here with a very good friend of mine and we had a lot of different...dishes. I always like to sit directly at the Sushi Bar and watch the chef making the Sushi. Together with some nice cold Kirin beer it is best. Like always I made several pictures and load them up here too.

Noodles were very nice; elastic, slightly chewy and tasty. I did ask whether it might be possible to have...them a little firmer next time. I was told that this would indeed be possible. Broth was good too; not too thin and very flavorful. Chashu ; Unfortunately there wasn’t all too much of it in my bowl, but in terms of texture and flavour it was one of the best i have had and enough cause for a overall. Egg; was a little harder than what I like in Ramen, but that may be Nikko catering to the local customer... The rice that came with my Ramen lunch set was good too. Service; friendly, polite and really good. Portion size; adequate. I was happy when I left the restaurant. Over all a very positive and satisfying experience and one I hope to repeat coming thursday when I plan to try the other broth they do. This may very well be joint place Ramen I have had in Europe thus far. Food Service Value Will I go back?
