Takayama Hotels with Bars

"I never imagined I'd experience something like this during a hotel stay in Japan. We stayed for three days, heading out early and returning late each day as we were doing day trips to Kamikochi and Shirakawa-go. When we returned on the evening of the second day, a white piece of clothing I had left on the bed that morning was missing. My wife and I searched through all our suitcases, but it was the only item missing; everything else was accounted for. After thinking it over, my personal guess is that because it was a pure white garment, the same color as the bath towels, the housekeeping staff might have mistaken it for a used towel and removed it. I immediately contacted the hotel's front desk. However, due to the late hour, the front desk informed me that all the housekeepers had already finished their shifts. They simply took down the details and promised to investigate and follow up the next day. However, the next day, they never proactively followed up. When I went to the front desk to inquire again, I happened to speak with the same staff member. He merely apologized, but his demeanor made it clear they hadn't found it and had no solution. There was no mention of contacting me if it reappeared or offering any compensation. It was, in short, just a verbal apology without any concrete resolution. While it wasn't a valuable item, for a hotel to lose a guest's possession and then handle the situation in such a manner is extremely unprofessional. Ultimately, to avoid letting it spoil the rest of our trip, we just had to chalk it up to bad luck."

"The location is good, not far from Takayama Station and the old town area. You can easily walk to important spots in the city, such as the Miyagawa morning market, convenience stores, and yakiniku restaurants. There is a parking lot for guests. The receptionists can speak English well. There is online check-in in advance, so the actual check-in at the hotel does not take long, although it can take a bit longer during busy periods. The room is quite spacious. Everything else is standard for a hotel. The hotel has a public hot spring bath with good quality water, but it was very busy during the time I went. The lobby downstairs has ice, a microwave, and a coin-operated water dispenser. The breakfast is varied and tasty."

"The location is incredibly convenient, just a 300-meter walk from both JR Takayama Station and the Nohi Bus Terminal. What's amazing is that despite being so close, it's not noisy at all. It's an easy stroll even with luggage, which is a huge plus for travelers transferring. The hotel is quite new, and the lobby boasts an artistic design, making it a great spot for photos. The rooms are equipped with a table and chairs, and feel much more spacious compared to hotels in Japan's larger cities. It's also convenient to walk to the old town and popular sights for dining. If you head in the opposite direction, there's a large supermarket easily accessible via an underpass. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. They even helped me resolve some minor issues I encountered during my trip, which was incredibly thoughtful. Check-in is from 3 PM, and you can store your luggage on the ground floor beforehand."

"Checked in late around 22:00 & nobody was at reception , have to go through the hassel with machine. Location was 15min walk to morning market. Hotel is new, well equipped with washing machine & other cooling utensils, However room was heavily smell & couldn’t clear off till we checked out Room rate was nearly Yen30,000 for 3pax, room only without breakfast, which we think at the high side"

"The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, just a five-minute walk to the right after exiting the JR and Nohi Bus stations. Right next door is Ajikura Tengoku, a popular Hida beef restaurant. My tip would be to head there early to grab a queue number, then you can comfortably wait back at the hotel. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are a decent size, and there's even a hot spring bath on the top floor! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!"

"The location of the hotel is very good. It is few meters away from the train station, the old market and the temples.Their common area is very good with free coffee and tea served. The only downside is the early checkout which is at 10am."

"Resort is close to the mountain. The weather is so nice. There was snow fall during our visit. The owner of hotel is so nice. We just didn't like the bath room and accessories in the room. It's too old"
