Smile Hotel Takaoka Ekimae - Photo Gallery

Close to the jr station with plenty of convenient stores around, classic Japanese business hotel with amenities

The hotel is fine actually. Although I expected similar quality as the Smile Hotel back in Osaka. I thought that as a hotel chain would make their quality universally around the country. There is no ranking in between their company that says the quality levers in different regions. The infrastructure and design was a lot less-quality and clean comparing to the one in Osaka. It almost felt like those two are from different ages. However, it was enough for an economic travel.

First time to Takaoka. I read reviews saying this hotel is very close to Takaoka Station. It is true~ But you have to go to the right entrance/exit, otherwise you will have to take a long detour! The room is very big. The front desk gave me the 9th floor. I am very satisfied!! The view is very good~ If you want to take the Doraemon tram, it is closed on Wednesdays! Please pay attention to the date when booking the hotel!!

Japanese style tatami room. We were 4 people so it was a bit crowded. Two people should be comfortable. The room was clean and very close to Takaoka station. It was very convenient to go to various places in Takaoka. Fortunately, the cherry blossoms were still there when we went there.

It is very close to the station, just one minute walk. The Japanese-style room in the high-rise building was beyond imagination. Fortunately, there was no odor, it was super clean, and the bedding was neat.

The room is very clean, the hotel staff is very friendly, there is breakfast service, and the hotel is very close to the station. I sincerely recommend everyone to stay here for one night.
