Reviews of Rickshaw inn

The staff guy was so kind

The staff was very kind and warm

Great central location and wonderful hospitality. Very spacious room.

The room was a bit stuffy and there were no shades so we woke up early.

Lots of character and a welcoming host

Everything was good!

We loved the location as it was close the the morning market and late night dining. The room was spacious and it was nice to have access To a refrigerator and a shared living area for tea. A great pick for families. We didn’t interact with staff except for check in and check out but they were friendly and helpful. Would recommend

I have stayed at the Rickshaw Inn previously, and enjoyed it so have returned 7 years later. It is exactly how I remembered it to be and we enjoyed our stay this time as well. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful .

The location was quiet and convenient, easy walking distance to shops and centre of town. Our room, an older style but not traditional Japanese, was clean and acceptable. Compared to other Japanese accommodation we stayed in, the room was also quite large. It was handy having access to a communal kitchen and dining area, too. The young man who greeted us had adequate English and was helpful and pleasant.

There was a kind of step up on entry to the room which seemed a little dangerous to us - my husband fell down this at this one stage.

The staff was very friendly and did checked in in the comfort of our room. Recommended delicious food to us. Laundry is easy to use. Location is super friendly. We enjoyed our stay so much and we will definitely stay Rickshaw Inn if we ever come to Takayama again.

Wifi is not that strong in our room though. Everything else is superb!

We had the family room for our stay, our room was so spacious! It has the traditional old Japan feel with tatami floor. The location is perfect and staff are so friendly and helpful. The parking for our rented car was just in front of the Inn, it was very convenient. The morning market is just around the corner and the recommended restaurants of the reception are highly recommended!

It could use a little bit of bright light but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly English-speaking person in reception. Great location near old town and restaurants. Room size not bad. We were luckily located right beside the kitchen. Large, shared lounge if you're wanting more room.

It's a guest house, the kitchen is down the hall and a bit small, but perfectly serviceable.

Good location. Great room.

We stayed at Rickshaw Inn last year and liked it so much we returned for 3 nights The common area and kitchen are very comfortable and useful. It was nice to have the coin laundry. The location is great - a 10 min walk to Takayama station and easy to walk anywhere in town. Nice restaurants nearby. Very economical.

It was a great location and easy check-in and check-out. Room was spacious and clean.

I didn't like being on the ground floor.

It’s located on a quiet street. Steps back from the busy area but still not far from there. The room was spacious, futons were very comfy and good sized washroom. Interior and amenities were dated, old school look but I really enjoyed somehow. I want to visit Takayama again and will stay here again.

Guest rooms are from the third floor so it’s hard to carry heavy luggage. But the staff was helped me so was no problem.

Good location. Quiet. Friendly staff. Good hot water pressure. Nice community area that in some circumstances may allow guests to meet other guests.

The air conditioning in our room was feeble. It took much too long to cool the room in Spring…how long must it take in Summer? Beds not very comfortable. Smell in room that might have been curry or stale body odor…somewhat off putting. Check out at 10:00 and apparently not negotiable without paying for late checkout. All the other hotels we’ve stayed at in Japan had 11:00 check out. Front desk staff not there for large parts of the day and sometimes take a while to summon.

Great small property- very traditional at a great location

No cleaning at all on the days we stayed- and the room coukd have been cleaner. Found hair etc on the beds

Super convenient location a short walk from the station and Old Town. Welcoming and friendly staff. Clean, comfortable and spacious room. Gorgeous decor and fantastic shared common room with lounge and kitchen. Bikes available for rent, or there's a great bike shop around the corner. Very highly recommended!

Nothing - a perfect stay!
