    The public bath was dirty at 6am.

    Near the station. Has a happy hour but only one drink and a small bowl of rice with curry sauce. With big bottle of water in the room.

    Bummer that the lobby massage chairs were only turned on in the afternoon and evening. Luggage storage was also out in the middle of the lobby - it seems a more secure location could be used.

    Comfy rooms and pajamas, good breakfast. The manga library and lobby massage chairs are fun bonuses, and providing HDMI cables to easily connect laptop to the room TV is a nice touch!

    Would be nice if the hotel wasn't covered in signs warning you not to take more than 1 of things. I understand it, but the warnings are a bit much.

    Everything you'd expect from a business hotel. Very close to the station. Free curry rice on weekdays at the moment.

    Fantastic location for me as it’s only 2mins from Takayama train station, 4 mins away from the bus station, and less than 10min walk to the Miyagawa river (and morning market) and Kamisannomachi. Directly across from the hotel is Geo Takayama Showa, which is a massive store offering thousands of Manga and DVD’s. A Daily Yamazaki is another 2mins away and the Boss Food Supermarket is just a short walk west of there. The room was very clean and modern, plenty of amenities on offer. I never got to try the public bath only because I was so busy getting out each day. My room bath was perfect and I loved the natural light that shined into my room. The hotels offer free curry (one plate per person) every evening until it runs out then a free drink after during happy hour. Definitely recommend staying here.

    Good hotel with lovely staff and lots of good features, but small rooms.

    Yes, small rooms are a feature of Japanese hotels, but some use the available space better than others. This one was not so good, it was very difficult to find space to put everything, no storage under the bed, no little corners to leave stuff.

    Well located hotel close to the station, with many places of interest within walking distance, and easy access to buses for those further afield such as the excellent Hida no Sato open air folk museum. The hotel itself offers lots of free extras such as a food and drink happy hour in which guests can have one dish (for as long as it lasts - be quick!) and one drink for free. The breakfast offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes plus a few western items such as croissants and cereal, and a bonus is a little dish of Hida beef and tofu in a delicious sauce which is brought to your table for you to cook over a mini barbecue! You also get a free drink (beer or a soft drink) if you are staying more than one night and choose not to have your room cleaned.
