    There was nothing to dislike.

    The location of the hotel, the standard of the rooms and facilities and the breakfasts were excellent.

    Great location, close to the JR Utsunomiya station and a convenience store right next to it. Lovely open-air bath. Nicely sized room with sofa in it.

    Hotel lacks vibe, it’s hard to explain as design is ok and everything but it felt very ‘business’ and we were there for hiking and sightseeing. So if you’re looking for a place with welcoming cozy atmosphere it’s not the one.

    Location next to the train station and close to everything in the city. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, amazing views, very very good breakfast with lots of choices, it was different every day! We loved it.

    Great location for using Utsunomiya station as a travel base

    After attending an event about a 15 min drive from the hotel around 8pm on a Sunday night, I called the hotel to ask if they could arrange for a taxi pickup from the location I was at, as uber wasn't picking up any nearby drivers. Wires may have been crossed due to language barriers but reception staff were unable to help or provide alternatives for a safe pickup and told me in very plain English to make my way back to the hotel by myself. Disappointing. If you don't need to communicate with staff, you will have a reasonable stay.

    Stayed for a couple of nights. The hotel is very close to the station, on top of a small shopping centre with a Daiso and some small eateries and cafes, so it makes for an excellent travel base if you want to explore nearby areas on a day trip like Nikko. The room was comfortably sized for one person. The baths on the 14th floor are also clean and well maintained with toiletries, but remember to bring your towels from your room as they do not provide extra towels. Checkout is painless with a drop box for your room key near the hotel entrance.

    The only downside was the walk into to the downtown area but you can just catch a bus.

    Exceptionally good value for money with exceptional facilities (Sky Spa!).

    Booked and paid through booking.com for me and my teenage son. Upon check in I was told I needed to pay extra since my son is considered an adult when 13 or older. I had given my son's age when I made the booking and after pointing that out they said ok. When arriving early at 2:30 pm they said they wouldn't hold our luggage until check-in which I found a bit odd. When heading to the elevator, they did catch up with us and allowed us to check in early without extra cost though.

    We got a room on the 14th floor (top floor) which also has the spa. The rooms are modern, comfortable with a nice view.

    There was nothing special that I didn't like. It was a bit expensive but that is to be expected in a hotel of this quality. Perhaps more Western dishes could be added to the breakfast buffet.

    The hotel was modern and well equipped. The exposure was nice. Regardless of the fact that it was located next to the train station, it was completely quiet. The SkySpa was extremely good, my partner and I both liked it. The breakfast was of good quality and quantity with a large selection.

    Nothing all is good.

    Definitely the best! From Entrance Elevators to Lobby? No words! We been staying at this hotel for more than 5x. What we loved about this hotel is the place is very convenient to others. If the weather is good you can see the Mt.Fuji from this Hotel. It was a good timing for us.
