The room was spacious and very clean with great beds. It is very close to the bus and/or trainstation. We did not directly see the sign of the hotel, so we had to ask. The room made us very happy and we felt pity that we only stayed there so shortly.

Except for the sign that we did not see there was very little to complain about. I was not so happy that when we returned for our luggage that we left there after checkout, that it was standing there unattended. A small improvement could be that they would give the opening times of the cafe on a paper upon checkin. We wanted to eat there something when we came back and found the place closed. That was a bit of a pity.

The staff at this 12 room boutique hotel was exceptional - super friendly and helpful. The location is great - very close to the train/bus stations but quiet. There is a washer and dryer (very reasonable fee and free detergent) on each floor which you do not hear in your room. The soundproofing is that good! Good coffee with breakfast.

The sliding shade we had for our room’s main window was very beautiful and fit with the Takayama decor but it didn’t allow much natural light to come into the room. Bath is lovely but shower is somewhat awkward.

Fantastic location just a few blocks from the train and bus station (same building). Short walk to the start of the historic area. Great restaurant choices very close. Beautiful room, a little small like many Japanese hotels rooms but nice aesthetic and very clean. Great little bakery/restaurant downstairs to grab a bite. Stacked coin-operated washer/drier unit just across the hall from our room.

If you need to check in or out after the standard hours please let them know in advance. There may be a slight wait while they arrive.

Great location super close to the train station so you’re not having to lug your bags around. The main “old town” street is about a 15 minute walk which was awesome. The whole town is so flat so very family/stroller friendly. We stayed in the suite so we had the whole top floor to ourselves! The bathroom was great for little kids as well with a nice big wooden tub (it was hot during the summer so the kids used it as “mini pool” in the afternoon to cool off and relax). The staff were kind and booked our dinner for us because most things seem to close early once they reach capacity.

The staffs are friendly. We carelessly wet the quilt, and hotel staff kindly help us change the new one for us instantly. Then, the wooded bathroom is excellent! We enjoyed the warm and natural atmosphere when bathing. That’s so unbelievable! Finally, the location is closed to both bus and train stations, and only need 3min to walk. Totally, we enjoyed this trip and satisfied the service from hotel.

Firstly, the qulit is not so smooth but it is fine for me. Then, the faucet in toilet room is too small and I always use that outside instead. Finally, the room is a little small, but I am ok with that because of low price.

The hotel is very close to the station and an easy walk to the tourist spots. The staff were lovely and the cleaning team even left a bag with fresh towels on our door when we opted to not be disturbed. There is a cute little cafe downstairs with a nice breakfast and free coffee voucher. We also had a washer and dryer on our floor, which was extra convenient.

Our room was very dark - not much space between buildings for natural light. The only communal space option is to head to the cafe but we found this filled up fast on a rainy day.

It’s a small hotel - only two rooms on our floor which helps with noise and lift being available quickly. Location is great - very close to the station and walking distance to the old town. We enjoyed the complimentary welcome drink at Hid’s Cafe which also does an excellent battered fish and chips. The room was the most spacious we had in Japan with a luggage rack and plenty floor space to leave a second bag open on the carpet. As well as space to hang up clothes if needed. There was also an ironing board and iron which was unexpected. We could charge both our devices using the USB ports next to each bed. The bed was very comfy and noise insulation excellent. There is free water dispenser on the 3rd floor and washing machine and dryer.

Nothing!

Location near to Takayama train station, Nori bus station and restaurants. Walk to the station is less than 10 minutes. Check-in was efficient and rooms are not huge but spacious enough for 2. The beds are comfortable and love the wood-like bath tub n shower. They provide amenities such as tooth brush, cotton buds, shaver, shower cap, hair dryer and even tongs for hair. Upon check in, were given 2 drinks vouchers which we exchanged for coffee in the coffeehouse situated in the same location called Hida Cafe. Their morning set breakfast at 2200 yen consisted panini, yoghurt, a smoothie and choice of coffee. If you plan your use Takayama as a base to travel to Shirawagako or Shinhokata Ropeway, this hotel is highly recommended!

We booked the Suite with city view. Very nice spacious room with 3 beds. Beds are big, and comfy. The bathroom has a shower and a square bath. You almost feel you are in a 'spa'. Good tea and coffee pads. The hotel has only a few rooms with a beautiful cafe at the ground floor. You had to pick a breakfast time in advance so the table was reserved at Hid's Cafe & Bar, a popular place for hotel guests and others. Food was super healthy. Matcha Latte the best, coffee as well fabulous. Walking distance to the old town but also with some top restaurants in the street as well as izakayas near the train station.

The central location was great, so close to the train and bus stations as well as restaurants and sites. Our room was small, but very modern and clean, with a gorgeous timber bathroom. Breakfast was included and was Western, but there was no choice, it was set. Having said that, we enjoyed the smoothy, yoghurt and muesli pot, warm panini and side salad, together with a hot or cold drink. Our stay at this property was just right and the helpful staff made sure we enjoyed our time in Takayama.

The fact there wasn't any choice for breakfast. We would like to have been able to order something from the same menu that walk ins did.
