A quiet, unassuming, and rustic inn on a small backroad, perfect for just getting away from the busyness of life. Staff are friendly and the location accomodates English speakers. Very close to convenient bus stations and nearby restaurants/tourist locations as well! Would go again.

We absolutely loved our short stay at Nikko Turtle Inn. The area is so beautiful, and it was convenient to all the Nikko attractions (we had a rental car). The property was adorably retro (but comfortable), the staff was delightful, and the on-site onsen are private. We are heavily tattooed, and finding an onsen that allows us in is not easy. We appreciate that it was not a problem!! We would absolutely stay at Nikko Turtle Inn again!!

Comfortable, convenient place

This is a lovely little hotel close to the main sightseeing sights of Nikko. The room was basic but clean and warm. The onsen bath was so convenient. They were really helpful by directing me to places and lending me a charger. Unfortunately though they weren’t able to provide a vegan breakfast which would involve providing soya milk instead of cow’s milk and tofu instead of egg, which should be easy in Japan. Thus should be offered if it wants to be considered as an eco hotel.

This is a family-run onsen. It’s a small place which turned out to be good for us as the baths were private & we didn’t have to worry about the spread of COVID19 in the communal baths

Brilliant!

We came to Nikko as part of a longer trip around Japan. It was absolutely super. The Turtle Inn was a bit difficult to find as there’s another one called Turtle Annex, but the customer service at both locations was brilliant. There’s free parking and the owner carried our bags upstairs and showed us around. There are hot spring baths that you can have private use of. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room and the futons were laid out for us when we arrived which was great. We fell asleep to the sound of running water from the river outside our room. The hotel is a little bit on the older side and you can tell it’s had a lot of use, but it was clean and I would definitely stay there again.

A real bargain! Clean, cozy, and comfortable. Tatami floors and futons, mineral spring baths.The staff all speak at least some English (the owner is fluent) and were extremely helpful. Very friendly! They recommended places to eat and helped us arrange transportation. The hotel itself is a little dated but the staff’s hospitality and its proximity to Toshogu and the Kanmangafuchi Abyss (10 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively) more than makes up for it. If, like me, you plan to spend most of your time in Nikko sightseeing and exploring, and are just looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable place to sleep and bathe, this is the inn for you.

Unhappy!!, CA

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
The inn is rather like a hostel than a hotel. It is by a river, and is about 10mins walk from bus stop, sights, and restaurants. It's OK if you don't have luggage, otherwise it will be quite a test. The place itself is decent and clean, just small. Our bad experience mainly came from that the owner insisted in charging us extra because we booked for "1 person" rather than "2", even though we had a double room with bath. He said it rudely that it was either pay up or get out. To subject a guest to that is an experience no hotel guests should do.

Comfortable like staying over at a friend's house

Very comfortable and the owners were very friendly and willing to help at everything. Good facilities imcluded ofuro (Japanese bath), yugata, bathing utensils and everything else, you can almost stay without any belongings. Comfortable bedroom with a table and chairs in japanese style. The utmost impressive thing was when me & my friend were running to catch the bus and about to miss the last train, the owner showed up with his car driving to find us and offered to drive us to the station for free. We were very happy staying and totally recommend for anyone who is going to Nikko. Best hostel ever, we will surely go back there again!

Nice inn with good location and facilities

The inn is very close to the temples and shrines. The facilities are also very good, with a private hot spring bath provided. The place is very clean as well. The owners are also very nice and helpful, provided a map and detailed instructions on how to travel around along with nearby eating places. Toiletries are also provided! One thing would be that the room does not have a curtain and given that the sun rises quite early in Japan, this could provide sleeping difficulties especially if you do not wake up early. Overall a very great stay and I might go back again if I'm back in Nikko :)

Nice cozy guest house with free onsen!

Turtle Inn is a nice cozy hotel right by the river in the middle of a quiet neighbourhood. It is a very convenient base to explore the temples in Nikko. It is just a short walk from the Sogokaikanmae bus stop (bus stop #8, immediately after the red Shinkyo bridge). There are two 24-hour convenience stores nearby so it's easy to get is necessary. The best part of the stay is that the hotel has 2 traditional style onsen baths. So your style practically comes with free private onsen! (Though you may have to wait for your turn if there are many guests). I really enjoyed the stay here.

Nice Budget Inn with Good Location

Staff was very friendly and helpful. English was excellent. Provided suggestions of things to see, where to get dinner, and directions to nearby trails. Room was clean, quiet, and AC worked properly. I had a lovely view of the mountains and could hear the river. The window had a screen, so I could open it without worrying about mosquitoes. I had a room with a sink, but without its own bathroom. Bathroom down the hall was very clean. Shower facilities downstairs were excellent. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. Razors are available for free at the desk. I did not try the hot spring tub, but it looked very luxurious. A yukata and slippers were provided for going between the bathroom/shower and the room. I recommend getting the optional breakfast. It is much better than what you will get at a convenience store up the road, and nothing else nearby is open that early.
