A beautifully modern hotel offering the convenience of underground parking and situated within easy reach of numerous shops and fine dining establishments. The room was generously sized, impeccably clean, and wonderfully quiet. An exceptional hotel in a superb location.

Great property. Room is renovated and quite modern but I think the toilet wasn’t renovated. Centrally located within walking distance to everywhere including the castle. No worries on where to eat as there are plenty of fantastic options around.

Great location, very attentive staff. Parking was very easy as you can pay for your stay and have in/out privileges. Entering the parking lot from the back road was a little more difficult since it is narrow and busy during the daytime

호텔 니코 구마모토
구마모토 시내 중심지라 할 수 있는 도리초스지에 있으면서 구마모토성과도 그리 멀지 않은 호텔입니다. 공항을 오갈 때 바로 앞에서 리무진 버스를 타고 내릴 수 있어 편리했습니다.
다만 예상보다 방 크기는 조금 작았고 침대가 생각보다 불편했습니다.
수온 조절이 냉수, 온수를 각각 틀어서 조절하는 거라 아이가 이용할 때 계속 불안한 마음이 들기도 했습니다.

This is an established hotel with great service and efficiency. Next door to the Tsuruya department store. The room was large, and offered a front and center view of the beautiful Kumamoto Castle.

We chose this hotel because it is walking distance to Kumamoto castle and the reviews were good. We were pleasantly surprised that friendliness and professionalism of the staff, convenience to the restaurants and stores for shopping, and room was very nice and comfortable. We tried weekend brunch buffet which was much better than we expected! Everything we had was so delicious!! I wished we were able to try their breakfast buffet as well.
We would stay here again and it is highly recommended!

The Hotel Nikko was perhaps the finest hotel I have ever stayed in!! EVERYTHING was exceptional! The staff was very courteous and helpful with us with navigating Japanese language. The front lounge was a beautiful setting for us to meet with friends. The breakfast buffet was something i looked forward to every morning- vast variety of Japanese cuisine and other breakfast foods. It was absolutley delicious!! The Hotel Nikko was within 5 min walk to Kumamoto Castle and huge shopping area.
I most definitley stay here again.!!
