Decent hotel stay as its located at a convenient location, opposite of the station and bus terminal. Surprised to see that most people have had feedback about the lukewarm reception - it's certainly something that falls short of what I've experienced in other hotels but I guess I can overlook this. Fairly easy walk to all places of attractions located in the main town

This hotel is not fancy, but very clean and cozy. Had a single room, which was big enough, small but useful bathroom, and filling breakfast every morning, included. It is situated across the street from the train and bus station, and only a few minutes walk from the morning market and shinto and buddhist shrines. Many eateries and shoppinf within walking distance.

This hotel is conveniently located opposite the Takayama Train Station. When we arrived at the hotel, the check in counter seemed to be closed, as check in was from 2pm only. After calling out to a room behind the counter and waiting for a while, finally someone came out to assist us in letting us store our luggage before we can check in. The staff was very unfriendly. Room was big enough for 3 of us, with sufficient luggage space.

I had problems writing this review as this hotel served what I needed but at the same time quite shocked at the lack of warmth of the reception staff. We arrived around 1pm but there was a sign which said they were closed! Who closes a hotel reception? Esp for a tourist town??!! Not realising they meant the full reception was closed as the sign was on one corner we rang the bell and a VERY grumpy man came and told us it’s 2pm for check in. Fair enough but he was so brusque and unwelcoming. Mind you, I booked the triple room and it wasn’t cheap so this is not like its a hostel hotel or anything. Pity abt the staff as the location of this hotel is superb. 2 min walk from the Takayama station and the Nohi bus station. Short walk to all the pretty sights Takayama has to offer. The triple room was v spacious by Japanese standard and a typical capsule size toilet with shower. I would recommend this hotel if it’s a good rate as the location is really good but don’t expect any service. We didn’t even bother going to ask for tips like where to eat etc as we decided the grumpy chap wasn’t going to be helpful anyways.
