eph TAKAYAMA

This hotel is indeed a great place to stay in Takayama. First, it's less than 5 minutes walk from the Takayama station, so it was easy for the three of my family with two big suit cases to get there at 21:00 in the night. Second, the room I booked was quite big and comfortable. It's on the top floor with three beds and enough room to unpack our two suit cases at the same time, without needing to move the tables and chairs. Third, the breakfast was wonderful. There is a small cafe on the first floor of this hotel building, with one glass door separating it with the counter of the hotel. The fresh-cooked breakfast was very delicious, much better than those "normal" self-service breakfast in big restaurants. Above all, the staff were very nice and helpful. I received messages in this Booking App asking me when I could arrive, and that was the time when I realized this hotel has stated their check-in time ends at 20:00. However, my train from Nagoya would arrive the Takayama station at 20:57. The staff offered me a way to call for help when I arrived. To my surprise, when we arrived at about 21:05, I found there was already a staff there waiting for us. That made me feel very warm, especially consider that day was our first time to visit Gifu area and also the first day of this trip to Japan from abroad. I sincerely appreciate all the help from the staff, and sorry for kept a staff so late to handle my check-in. I will stay here again for sure when I have the second chance to visit Takayama!

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.

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.

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.
