Hotel Nikko Tsukuba

right in the center of Tsukuba, at a short walking distance (5 minutes) from the railway station. The room is hvery pleasant with a large bed, a high-standard bathroom, a corner with a desk to work and another corner with an armchair to relax. And all the little details making the difference are there (for instance a fridge, a kettle, nice cups, a comfortable bathrobe). Well isolated from the sounds around. The assurance of a good sleep.

Note: the air conditioning is monitored globally, sometimes a bit too cold, but it can be tuned at the command panel (that is, the clock) on the bed side to reach the perfect match.

Location onto the wonderful Tsukuba walking area was perfect for strolls to the parks, a huge selection of restaurants (we liked the very-traditional-Italian style Pizza place at the end of the park with the Space Museum, grocery just opposite, and immediate access to the train/bus stations (hence a direct bus to Narita Airport; or a fast train to Tokyo). The hotel has 3 restaurants (upscale Chinese, and 2 Japanese); but I only tried the Japanese one. We will stay here again next weekend before going to Narita; and then we'll try the breakfast. Bit pricey, but we'll see if the quality/selection justifies it.

All seemed fine; and the staff were eager to help with any problems.

This was our 2nd stay in 10 days. This time we had an incredible breakfast -- the best omelette that I've ever had -- and tried to sample about a third of the huge number of other options. During the previous evening, I had a delicious beef dish at the "Chinese" restaurant, one of the 3 eating options at the hotel. Not sure how "Chinese" it was-- I've never had such a beed dish during my various stays in different parts of China -- but it was also melt-in-your-mouth; and the service made one feel like a king. The deep-bath came with a packet with a dry bar of "bath bar", which dissolves in the water turning it fragrant and a bit blue. That was fun; and you smelled nice (faintly) afterwards. The hotel is perfect for regional train and bus connections from the adjacent main station complex. It is also a short-walk from parks that have rotating free exhibitions; and a superb public library.

The pillows were not as soft as I prefer; and I wish there was a coffee option in addition to the powdered green tea.

Nice hotel with decent sized rooms and near shopping center and various restaurants. Tsukuba is not what I call a pretty city, but very planned and rather modern. This hotel is very much similar in that sense. Good breakfast and very helpful staff. Location is next to train station direct to Tokyo which is very convenient.

This hotel had no obvious shortcomings. Perfectly fine for the price and what it offered.

The location is excellent. The staff is very welcoming, warm and accommodative. We reached 2 hours late, at 11.30 pm in the night. The reception person welcomed us warmly so late in the night and told us how he was just waiting for us to check in.

We had to pay for the bicycles. It was not free. But the cycles were in excellent condition.

Excellent location very close to the train station and buses. The breakfast buffet was fantastic with lots of options and fresh fruit and vegetables. Sweetest oranges I’ve ever had. Staff were exceptionally kind and friendly to my young son.

I wish there were onsen facilities in the hotel, but this is obviously beyond their control.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean. Room service was great! very good location just two minutes walking from train station and shuttle buses going to Tokyo and to the Narita airport.

Air conditioner was a little bit noisy.

One of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in Japan.

The entry way was a bit difficult to find. If you are in the Tsukuba Center Square, you can access the hotel through an elevator on the second floor, but ground floor entry is on the opposite side by the road.

The location was excellent and nice international breakfast was included.

Not much space in room for a 10 day stay. would be perfect for a shorter stay.

It's right at the Tsukuba center, beside TX station. Very convenient locations with shops and restaurants around. The bus station is also next door so easy for countryside connectivity. The breakfast was decent.

More or less okay. Nothing to complain about.
