Nice rooms but a bit on the small size (true to pictures). Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a public bath with water from a source (can't remember where) which was a nice touch and definitely enjoyed by Japanese people. There are laundry facilities which are relatively well priced.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Takaoka station, however, the train between Shin-Takaoka where the shinkansen actually stop and Takaoka is not very regular so you may want to consider your arrival and departure time.

There are konbini, bus stop, and tram stop nearby. Microwave is available. Even though the room is small (typical japanese hotel for 6,000-7,000 yen), but I could fully open 1 medium sized luggage. Small space to hang clothes. Acceptable bathroom size. The bathtub size is bigger than I thought. The location, it's actually walkable from Takaoka eki, but since we travel in snow, it's quite hard to walk and opted for public transportation.

Good location close to the station, APA Hotels are comfortable and nice. The attention was good as well. This Location in particular has an Onsen type of bath on the second floor, which sounds amazing, sadly I couldn't try it this one time, but it was one of the reasons I booked it in the first place. I had an amazing view from my window. Note that you'll hear the train and the announcement of the station, I'm very sensitive to noise, but this didn't make me uncomfortable in the slightest being on the 10th Floor. I would recommend this APA hotel!

There were some white stains on the decoration cloth that is on top of the bed. Beside that nothing else I can complain of

The hotel is in a very convenient location beside the train station and close to shops/restaurants. We loved having the Onsen in the hotel and it was not crowded during our 4 day stay.

We already knew that the room size would be small, so I'm not saying that I didn't like it but if there was anything to improve on in the hotel it would be to have more space in the room. Having said that I do appreciate that we were getting very good value for money at this hotel so the room size was a good compromise for that. :-)

Its about 2 minutes away from the train station, so there is many food available. The hotel has only 10 over parking lots, staff was very kind enough to share all the nearby parking before hand which was extremely helpful. The tap water is delicious haha, its tasted even nicer than the bottle provided! The bath was big enough as well, even though there was many people but it felt comfortable. Love the bed and the pillows, always have neck issues but its actually quite good, thought of purchasing it online! Check in and out was extremely smooth.

I find that the temperature of the bath was slightly too hot, maybe could lower 1-2 degrees? The hairdryer in the hot bath can be improved, there is only 1 hair dryer which was good.

The location is extremely convenient and the building has a luxurious look outside and even in the lobby. The amenities and service is also very much top-notch.

The view is a bit underwhelming and the room is a bit claustrophobic, although acceptable. I selfishly wish there was more English support.

The hotel is well located and very close to the railway station by walk less than 5 minutes. Very convenient if you need to take train to other areas to commute. The onsen in the hotel is superb with long open time that can help relax my body after a whole day visit in the city. The room facilities are very comprehensive. The bed and pillow are very comfortable.

Similar to other Japan hotel, the room size is quite small. There is no separate area to place the suitcase. When I open the suitcase to get some items, it occupies most walking area in the room. See if the room layout can be improved to place the suitcase easily.

Well-furnished room. The hotel looks really upscale inside. The hotel's onsen was spacious and enjoyable. Excellent location next to the train station. Overall, a very pleasurable stay.

Only one microwave in the hotel, on the ground floor (not so practical for someone who buys food at nearby convenience stores).

I have stayed here twice now, and the staff have been very accommodating at every turn. You can update the number of people in your room until midnight, and they made it very easy to ask for a late checkout (you can select a button on the TV in your room to extend by 1-3 hours). Everything is very clean and feels new. The TV in the room is huge! The room is small, but the bed is lofted so you can put your luggage underneath. It makes the room feel a bit bigger. The bath isn’t particularly fancy, but it’s comfortable. I like to be able to check the crowd level from my hotel room before I go bathe, and it’s nice to go there in the yukata provided by the hotel. The location is great if you are going to travel by local train the next morning, as it is directly next to Takaoka station. There are also a lot of nice bars and restaurants within walking distance.

I think this is standard in Japan, so it isn’t a huge negative, but if you book the room as 1 guest and want to add an extra guest, the fee is ¥4000, which feels expensive. In the US, it was common to be able to rent a room with a queen bed for 1 or 2 people for the same price. It is quite far from the shinkansen station.

We got a room on their top floor and the view was amazing. The room is small but has everything you need for a night away. The TV aimed right at our bed was honestly great for watching a movie and falling asleep. The hotel is right next to the station, so easy accessible.

Doors of your neighbors and people talking in the hallway are quite noisy. The bathroom is very small (have seen some bigger in other hotels). Small things, but still quite noticeable for some people.
