    I struggled a little with the $39 additional resort charge but I did make use of the pool. When on business you do not always get the time to use the hotel facilities.

    Really nice hotel in a great location. The room was comfortable and really quiet with great facilities. The pool and gym area are a great asset, letting you escape from the busy city. The team were helpful and friendly.

    Place was great but Booking.com made it look like a good deal but there were a lot of additional fees attached at check in. Wish that had been more clear.

    Perfection and serenity

    Need a bit more hours (need a morning as well as a after work time) for lap swimming in the pool since the pool is very popular with the kids.

    When you are first dropped off at the Nikko Hotel, you are greeted by the valet, June, who will remember your name and get your luggage from parking all the way to your room---making sure when you get into your room that you’re happy with the room and know how everything functions from the heat and cooling units to the coffee maker. At the front desk you will be greeted by Michael, who will work to be sure you get just the room you want, various charges explained before they are made, all your billing arrangements made---basically making all transparent and comfortable before you’ve even set foot in the room. You are in awe of how he makes you feel taken care of. He will be there when you check out and will also remember your name and will provide advice on restaurants and walking routes. You are beginning to feel like purring with all this thoughtful service, and then you see the room. The first thing that you notice is that there is a button inside the door for the hall light, to call for housekeeping service, or to indicate that you don’t wish to be disturbed---all very quiet and discrete. The room has wonderful lights on each side of the bed on the wall for a reading light, which can be positioned, and a larger over the side table lamp---both in easy reach on an upper/lower button. There is a safe, coffee and tea making equipment, lovely white bath robes and slippers. The bathroom has both a large mirror and a makeup mirror, and there are full-size lotions, pump hand soap as well as bars of oatmeal soap, shampoo, and conditioner---all of which can be moved from the shower to the bath sink if desired. The lighting is excellent for make up and there are shower caps, cotton balls, and Q-Tip’s. There are thoughtful travel bottles of water to refill during your stay and a delightful “Buster” book of life quotes as a gift for your stay. The décor of the rooms are lovely with blossoms painted on the headboards and blue swirled carpets.

    The pillows were too soft but they quickly brought us more.

    Very polite and friendly staff. It was our 15th wedding anniversary and the staff generously upgraded our room. The room was very spacious and clean with nice amenities. Great location, near everything (it is a few blocks from the tenderloin but we didn’t have any problems).

    AC was not adjustable much. I could not alter the room temperature to a a temperature number of my choice. All I saw were some modes I could set it to which was still fine.

    Heated pool was nice and well maintained and the whole pool area has a nice vibe, location of hotel is nice (close to all nice stores), gym is nice, and staff is very very welcoming and cooperative, especially concierge and cloak room.

    Pricey and including a 20% gratuity on an already expensive meal at a bar in an already expensive hotel seems out of line. Im already a good tipper and I’d like to be the one determining the value of the individual servers. I believe they will be better at their job if the want to make more money.

    Only thing I can think of is the wait time for the steam room and heat sauna to heat up, I have to go in and turn them on then leave and return later.

    The reception and other staff is always friendly. The facilities are well maintained and clean.

    Found that the in hotel restaurant An Zu was overpriced and disappointing.

    Room was very clean and amenities were exceptional especially the fitness centre and pool. Also the lounge providing breakfast daily and wine and snacks in the evening was a special touch. Water bottles with filling station on each floor greatly appreciated. Staff are excellent. Very friendly and helpful.
