Lovely hotel in a great location
We stayed in the Nikko twice during our vacation, for a total of 15 days. We had originally booked a different hotel for the second half of our trip but cancelled it and booked the Nikko, as it felt like home after the first week!
The room was very clean, comfortable and quite spacious by city standards. All the staff we came in contact with were extremely friendly with a smile and hello when we passed by.
The extra $20 for the swimming pool and gym is quite good value, as it is a one off charge per room for the total stay. The pool was never crowded while we were there and is a great facility in a city centre hotel.
As other reviewers have said, the hotel is in a great location with many shops just a few minutes walk away. It is also a short walk from Powell St station where you can catch BART to the airport, and just around the corner from the cable car line to Fisherman's Wharf or the F train which also heads there.
We ate at Anzu restaurant on our final night and loved the food and the atmosphere there.
I guess the only down side was the price of the internet which was almost $15 a day, a little too much for an extended stay of 15 days!
However Starbuck's cafe located in the hotel had free internet access, so we had breakfast there most mornings and used this time to check out whatever we needed.This suited us very well as the breakfast at the hotel was quite pricey.
Overall, we had a fabulous stay and will definitely stay at the Nikko again if we return to San Francisco.
