Kawasaki Nikko Hotel

Hotel Nikko Kawasaki is conveniently located, and I was thrilled to find Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk during check-in. The hotel is comfortable and clean. They even served mentaiko (spicy cod roe) at breakfast! The hotel staff were all very warm and welcoming.

Kawasaki was a pleasant surprise! The area around the hotel is very lively with several shopping malls, all accessible via a pedestrian bridge. There are plenty of options for dining and shopping. We chose this location because we had to visit a hospital the next day, and the train stations are just a few minutes' walk away. Getting to Haneda Airport also only takes about fifteen minutes.

Great service, and super convenient with everything nearby. I'd definitely stay here again, though the room didn't have a view.

When I was checking in, the two front desk staff were whispering to each other suspiciously. As a frequent business traveler, I instantly knew what was going on. I had booked a single king-sized bed, a king-sized room! Without any communication or confirmation with me, he inexplicably changed my room to a twin room with very small beds. I realized this before even entering the room, and sure enough, it was true. Then I went to the front desk to confront him, and as soon as he saw me from a distance, he looked guilty and started whispering to another person again. I guessed the other person was probably instructing the staff member serving me to say they had given me a 'free upgrade' to the room type. And just as I expected, that's exactly what he told me! My stance was very clear, and I pointed out two things to him: 1. You must give me the room type I booked! 2. Any upgrade must be communicated and negotiated with the customer, and only proceed after the customer's consent! (Giving me two tiny small beds, is that even an upgrade? Why would I, traveling alone, want a twin room?) This is clearly taking advantage of outsiders. I've encountered this in some hotels in Europe too, where they immediately say there are no king beds left, only twin rooms with small beds, take it or leave it. The front desk immediately apologized to me and changed me back to a king-sized bed room. I believe that when traveling for business, I haven't paid the hotel a penny less, and my rights should be defended and guaranteed!

I stayed for fifteen consecutive days, and I'll start by reviewing the breakfast: the variety is extensive, healthy, and delicious. Every day, I'd begin with a fresh vegetable salad, finishing with fruit and ice cream, and then grab a cup of coffee to take back to my room. The guest rooms offer capsule coffee and black tea, with a machine to brew both; the coffee is aromatic and the black tea is also very good. Fresh towels, mineral water, coffee, and black tea are provided daily, and the room is cleaned every three days. The bathroom facilities are very tidy, the bed is comfortable, and it's quiet at night. The hotel is right next to JR Kawasaki Station, so on rainy days, you can directly enter the underground shopping street. It's also not far to Keikyu Kawasaki, and you won't get wet there either.

Just a 5-minute walk from the subway entrance, and everything you need is available nearby.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the JR station with a supermarket and mall nearby, which is very convenient. The room itself is also good, though compared to other Nikko hotels, the breakfast and room amenities were a little bit lacking. Overall, still very satisfied.

Everything was great, except the room was a bit small. The breakfast was a little pricey, but it tasted good and they had ice cream, which the kids loved.

The room had no strange odors, and the location was super convenient. It's only a 3-minute walk from the station, and there's a Haidilao hot pot and a shopping mall nearby. It's incredibly convenient! I was on a business trip by myself and only booked 2 days initially, but I ended up extending for another 3 days. The price was also quite reasonable. Highly recommended.
