    The hotel is amazing, we had a private onsen where we could go with my husband and our baby. The room was spacious so perfect for us with the little baby. The facilities were great, service, and extra things such us ice cream after the onsen or the coffee and water in the last floor. Also the welcome drink !

    The room was a bit small with not much storage space but perfect for one night

    Great location a short walk from the station. The onsen were lovely. Staff were very helpful and allowed baggage storage.

    Breakfast was very crowded. Due to our room (207) being next to the breakfast room people were queueing outside our door at one point! The free drinks could do with some nicer non-alcoholic options to make it more inclusive for non-drinkers.

    The onsen was fantastic! Also liked the many little freebies like evening drinks, ice lollies after baths etc.

    People in Japan have been very welcoming during our trip so far, but I got the impression staff at the hotel had a bit of tourist fatigue (less welcoming, less keen to help compared to other places we went to).

    Clean and good amenities

    Location was a little out of the way but no issue with us given the beauty of the town. We don't mind walking the whole day :)

    Private rooms for onsen. The place appears very well maintained and clean. The room sizes were big for the price range. Breakfast was basic but sufficient

    That we couldn't access the drinks all day.

    We enjoyed this hotel and liked that they had an onsen, both private and not. We used them daily. Breakfast was good, it does get busy however you can sit on the lower floor if it's full. We needed to head off very early one day and asked if we could just grab a few things from breakfast however we were advised no, then I noticed they do in room breakfast which would have been good to know. Parking was 800 per night, which wasn't too bad. I felt like there wasn't many restaurants around the hotel, we had trouble the first night locating a restaurant that was open, however then found some amazing ones - check out Krua Halu Ball this restaurant is so tasty, was a great surprise. Also, The Higurashi which is 3km from the Squirrell Park, run by one lady, we had pancakes, pizza and Tom Yum Pasta, the Ginger Ale/Beer is to die for. We went to Kamikochi for a day, we had a car so could drive to the parking without getting the bus from Takayama. You can park at Akandana car park - this is the first stop for the buses. There were only a few ppl getting on here, but when we got to Hirayu Onsen the lineup was huge, and they only allow 50 or so on the bus. The forecast was for rain, but we still went, no rain, a little cloud but still magnificent and we seen about 50 monkeys.

    We could not understand why we were charged a per head onsen fee when we were not even intending to and did not use the onsen.

    Staff provided good service, rooms were clean and location was within walking distance to restaurants. Although parking was charged, it was a one time fee for 24h and there were ample lots. The fee charged was the lowest among all the hotels we had stayed in for our trip.

    The sink in the room. First of all its a big sink so not much you can put around it, as well its automatic so you cannot adjust water stream and temperature, and always playing with a tap cause need to find/feel the sensor.

    Location is amazing. You can reach all touristic attractions within walkable distance. And neighbourhood is so quiet and beautiful. Bus station is close by. Room is really big and spacious for Japanese standards..
