Very convenient hotel
"Very convenient hotel to stay in. It’s very close to some great restaurants and the train station. It’s a 15 min walk to the old district. Parking is direct in front of it (with a surcharge). Staff is very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and clean (maybe the carpet would need a cleaning soon). ..."

"Fantastic staff who were always helpful and cheerful. The nightly open bar from 5-11 pm in the lounge was incredible and amazingly subdued: tastings of local sakes or the ubiquitous Japanese lagers. Breakfast alternated between Japanese and Western bento boxes, and were filling. The futon beds are ..."

One of the best hotels we've stayed in
"1. Staff - Same as anywhere in Japan, staff are very nice and helpful. But what sets this hotel's staff apart from other hotels is that when you ask for directions, they won't just give you a map. They will also check via google map from their own phone and show you the route to your desired destination. ..."

Amazing onsen
"Hotel got 2 onsen, both with outdoor onsen. The one on 1F was so relaxing in a green setting. Rooms n amenities provided have also exceeded expectation. Hotel provides shuttle service from JR station, but very limited timing. Nonetheless, will stay again when in Takayama"
