We did not have breakfast in the hotel, but the location is a block from the hotel. We can see the hotel sign as we walked out of the train station. The Nohi bus is on the left side and we booked our day bus tour to Ainokur and Shirakawa for the following morning. The 2 must see World Cultural Heritage sites. And the next morning, we also buy the bus ticket to the Hida folk village. The old town is an easy 15 - 20 minutes walk. There is a very good Mom and Pop Chinese restaurant around the block on the left side. Chahan Hana. We ate there twice since most restaurants were fully booked daily. Maruaki Restaurant is the place to eat Hida Beef.

We wish the hotel could start their free coffee from the morning instead of by 1 PM.

Great location within walking distance from the old centre. The hotel is good value for money. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean!

Breakfast options were limited.

So close to the train and bus station (tidy little street) and a short easy walk past cafes etc to the old part of town. A 7/11 (or was it a Family Mart?) around the corner. Room was spacious and had a decent view out over the town to hills. Good standard bathroom. Spotted a microwave in the lobby area for heating things up and a little coffee machine in the breakfast room that can be used late in the day. Friendly welcome from staff. Luggage could be left at reception on day of check in and check out — which gave us more exploring time. I’d stay here again.

We don’t usually buy hotel breakfasts but did one morning — it was ok. If not in a hurry for early morning food I probably wouldn’t do so again given the price and fact that there are some nice little cafes dotted about towards the river.

We had a great stay. Location was very nice near the bus station that connected to Kanazawa, Matsumoto, the Hotaka ropeway and Shirakawa go. The room is a little bigger than the others we stayed in japan (still small by western standards). They offered a good range of amenities and the staff was great. The breakfast is paid, arround 1900 yens, but is great. There were japanese and western options.

The pillows in japan tend to be harder and bigger, wich I found very uncomfortable. But it is a common problem. The room was bigger but still small by western standards. I found the transparent bathroom a bit weird. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at first, but still think it woul be better to have an opaque wall/glass. But it is just a minor thing considering how nice it was.

The breakfast was excellent. My children especially loved the pancakes, while I particularly enjoyed the yogurt and coffee.

The water pressure in my room was too weak. However, when I checked my children's room, the water pressure was fine. I suppose it depends on luck. In my personal opinion, and for the benefit of other travelers in the future, I didn’t really like the parking system. It uses an automated garage that requires staff assistance every time you need access or park your car. This means that if you go in and out of the hotel multiple times a day, it can be quite inconvenient. Perhaps this is why the parking fee is slightly cheaper than at other hotels in the same area.

The hotel facilities are good and staff are nice and helpful, except that I expected breakfast included in the booking but turned out the hotel’s record is not. I had to pay for my breakfast.

I made the current booking (reference: 4880451479) where the room type should be with breakfast included. Unexpectedly hotel staff told me their record was breakfast not included in the booking. I was very frustrated but found no means to communicate with Booking.com. Please pass my case to the responsible person. I need an explanation on why such happened. Thank you.

The location is very close to the bus stop that brought us from Shirakawa-go and took us to Shinjuku. The staff was extremely friendly and explained everything in detail, even giving us recommendations for restaurants and travel destinations. The facilities were excellent, including a sauna and jacuzzi that provided an experience similar to bathing in an onsen. There are many restaurants nearby, as well as a small park close to the hotel. It was truly an amazing experience in Takayama. We will definitely stay here again!

Nothing to complain

The hotel offers excellent value. It was one of the least expensive hotels we stayed at in Japan and yet provided perfectly adequate accommodation in terms of room size, cleanliness, comfortable beds, wifi. Breakfast was very good with both western and Japanese dishes.

The location was very convenient to transportation, right near the main bus and train stations, but a bit far from the center town. We didn't mind the walk, though.

Location was great. Rooms spacious and very clean. Great steam room and spa. Reasonable breakfast and good free coffee in afternoon and evenings.

Great location within 5 minutes walking distance from the train and bus station, also walking distance from main shopping street and old center. Large room (especially compared to Tokyo), clean and well equipped. Sauna and bubble bath for guests were nice. Breakfast was decent, mix of continental and Asian food.

Breakfast closing at 9.30 meant the staff expected us to leave the dining area as well. We felt rushed, would have been nice to finish our food and drinks since the dining area itself stays open all day.
