Great location right across the road from JR Nikko train station and bus stop.
Room and bathroom more spacious than most Japanese hotels however it is a bit run down. In the room the table and chairs need refurbishment, tv remote very old and worn, no bedhead so pillows are up against the wall, no shoehorn, pen and paper, plastic tea cups instead of ceramic mugs. Even the cheapest hotels have the last 3 things. Block out curtains were not actually blocking out all the light. However it was quiet, the onsen is basic but ok, breakfast was also free and ok.
Considering the majority of guests were non Japanese ( I was there 4 nights) I'm surprised that only 1 lady seemed to speak good English. I had difficulty understanding how the free parking worked from the man at reception and it wasn't until I took her outside to the machine that she explained how it worked. Written explanation in English that they can give out would be good.
Nikko is expensive for accommodation so it was reasonable value.
