"Loved our stay in the presidential suite! The private onsen on the rooftop balcony was incredible. Room was very spacious and comfortable. Price was great for this room! English was a bit tough but front desk was very helpful. Ate the included traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast for only 1 out of our 2 nights there. You’ll need to be adventurous for those meals! There’s also a great ramen and burger walking spot nearby for a less adventurous meal. The public onsen was gorgeous and not crowded mid-afternoon. We both have a couple tattoos and were okay to enter, and could also use a towel to cover if needed. Booked a couples massage and facial, massage was lymphatic drainage and helped reduce swelling for all those Japanese beers and eats when down in Tokyo. Suspension bridge near the hotel was fun to explore and easy access to a waterfall view. Foot bath at the attached restaurant with a beer was great! Our room shower didn’t work during peak onsen hours and was very outdated. Overall would come here if you’re looking for a remote experience in Japan off the beaten path. Get the presidential suite, you won’t regret it!"

"**FOR AMERICANS** This is the real experience and extremely authentic. If you are looking for a true traditional Japense onsen, this is for you. Also, be aware that this is not in Nikko proper - and a bit tricky to get to - you need to take a Tobu Nikko train from Nikko to Kinugawaonsen Station.Be aware that the staff speaks VERY limited English so try to communicate with them ahead of time to plan. They are so kind and helpful and will pick you up from the train station or take you to nearby sites. We did a beautiful hike at a national park nearby and the foliage was beautiful. The food is amazing and included in the price of your stay. This is the real deal - traditional breakfast and dinner with many courses. All the guests were Japense and the onsen was gorgeous and very clean. This is an experience we will never forget and we are so greatful for our time there. "

"It’s a really a good place to stay. Snow crab included in dinner buffet! "

"Beautiful resort and delicious kaiseki dinner."

"Buffet was excellent with an enormous array of food. Private onsen was approx ¥3300 for 45minutes. There is quite a lot to do around the local area, we stayed one night but easily could have filled in two days."

"改装工事中だったので、夕食も朝食もなかったです。部屋は清潔で、部屋に広い露天風呂があって、テレビも大きくて、テレビの向きを変えて、風呂に入りながら、Netflixで映画を楽しみました。部屋自体についてとても好印象です。 唯一印象が悪かったのは：スタッフの態度でした。眼鏡かけた男性スタッフの態度はとても悪かったです。せっかくいいホテルなのに一人のスタッフで台無しです。不愉快な印象がどうしても残ります。 来年も紅葉を見に行くので、そのころはもう改装工事が終わってるかな？夕食朝食も含めてもう一度泊まってみたいです。 "

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Ootaki and would definitely return. The hotel is very traditional and gives you a real insight into traditional Japanese culture. Although the staff had limited English, this was not a problem for us and they were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The hotel has lots of freebies as part of their service including combs, hairbrushes, shower caps, razors etc. The onsen was very relaxing and the hotel was clean. "

"This place is falling apart at the seams. The property is old and musty with bugs. The food was passable but it’s one of very few choices in the area. The onsen bath takes literally hours to fill (8-10 inches per hour) and the location is so remote it takes several trains which run once an hour at most. Staff are lovely but avoid this place!! "

"Breakfast and dinner buffet were very good! Hot spring was great!"
