Bed was comfortable, there is privacy for each bed as it was covered with thick curtain. Clean towel, shampoo, body soap and conditioner were also provided. There is a public bath in tront of the hostel, you will get a 20 yen discount by presenting your hostel key. The bath house doesn't provide for towel and soap, the hostel prepared soap and shampoo for guests you can also bring your towel.

The only problem was that the AC was not working properly on my 2nd and 3rd night. I didn't sleep well. I informed the staff about this. The AC controller should be left in the room so the guests can adjust the room temperature.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Cup of Tea! The hospitality was truly unmatched—every staff member went above and beyond to make me feel at home. From the warm welcome to the thoughtful recommendations about the area, their kindness and attentiveness made my visit unforgettable. The cozy atmosphere, spotless facilities, and charming communal spaces were the perfect setting to relax and meet fellow travelers. I highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a comfortable and friendly place to stay. Thank you, Cup of Tea, for an amazing experience! Arminas

I LOVED cup of tea! The staff was amazing! She scribbles onto the city map and gave me the best food recommendations. She also recommended day trips to me. It’s a 20 min walk from takayama station and with google maps easy to find. You’re super close to one shrine. And very close there is a local restaurant with awesome tempura🥹😍 cup of tea is very cozy and the beds were so cozy. I slept like a baby.

EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME. 12/10 would come again

Loved the location, the access to the sento on the other side of the road. The dorm felt big enough with the fact that I could store my luggage under the bed, and the capsule itself felt spacious. Price is great for the dorms.

The main thing was the commun room. There is a single table, and four chairs. I couldnt tell if I could use the table when the staff was using it as a reception desk. One of the days I was there, I think there was a staff meeting in there that lasted at least until 5:30PM, so I felt unconfortable having an early supper. I wished I would have been told what the situation was.

Really nice and helpful staff, they gave me good recommendations. Very close to Takayama old town. Very quiet place where I was able to rest. It was also very clean.

During the night I didn’t see anyone around and o was sharing a room only with a guy. It would be nice if they can split us in different rooms in that case, you never know with whom you are staying. And I believe we were all alone at the guest house. The pod feels a little too hot during the night.

very comfortable and clean beds, very clean toilets and showers with loads of hot water (if you didn't want to use the fabulous puclib bath house across the road) and floors. Location was very convenient to everything.

Kitchen was very basic, but still worked. It was small, but it worked. We were there for 4 nights and it really seemed small by the last night. But for a 2-3 night stay, or 1 night, fabulous.

Very clean and cute place, had a family room with 6 individual capsules. Made from wood , very comfy mattresses. But other than that there was only a small corner with a table and two chairs , no space to unpack suitcases, nowhere to sit but in the beds for 6 people. So great for one night but not a longer stay. Be aware that there is nobody at the reception before 3 pm and after 11 pm. We would have liked to ask questions but no one was around . Tiny kitchen and one table to use down stairs for making your own breakfast.

One of the last available places for the autumn festival - when I booked only two months before event.

The cell was accessible by a long ladder.. I am 191 cm/6' 3" tall and my weigh is 120 kg. The problem was with the way down, because the design of the cells is not designed for such a large and heavy person. It was not possible to choose the space I was allocated.

Staff was great and spoke English really well. Beds where super comfortable and private. Location was great. Great atmosphere in the hostel and kitchen and common area were really convenient to use. The sento on the opposite side of the road was such a treat.

Even though the place was small, everything needed was manageable. Hanging clothes was rather difficult, though even for that the staff found a solution for me.

The staff were so lovely to chat to and they all spoke perfect English! The property was clean and quiet and a close walk to the old town area and about 10-15 min walk to the station. The beds were comfy and there was a lot of space next to the bed to put stuff and also space under the bed for your suitcase!

Not having a washing machine/dryer was quite frustrating, since the closest laundromat is a 10 min walk away. Also there was a little cart in the shower room that was quite rusty that should be replaced. Other than that, no issues!
