Fantastic 5.0
Rating this maybe 4.5/5. Location is 650meters from Takayama sta. No building also in front of their hotel so the view was good. Staff was accommodating. Smooth check-in. Room was spacious enough, with table and chair. Free water, reading area, and complete amenities in the lobby.

Fantastic 5.0
Location was superb, being right next to the train station, which was why I booked it. The public foot bath on the top floor was also very welcome, especially as I had just come in from Kamikochi. 6 mins walk away is Cafe Rin-Rin, a mom and pop cafe that felt like you were stepping back in time, and served delicious french toast. The room was comfortable and good-sized for a solo traveller, and the washing machine was a godsend. The only thing that was very annoying was the lamp sitting over the small table, as I kept hitting my head on it. It was at a very inconvenient spot and height.

Fantastic 5.0
The apartment hotel room has a washer-dryer combo, a kitchen for cooking, and a bathtub. You can also get free hot spring tickets at the front desk to use at a hotel that's a 13-minute walk away. The only downside is that the dryer isn't very effective; clothes were still a bit damp after six hours of drying.

I've stayed here many times. It's always clean. This time I got a slightly older room, but it was still good. Breakfast is included, and there's ramen available late at night. You can use the private onsen without a reservation; if the sign is available, you can enter right away. Just flip the sign on the door to 'occupied' when you're using it, and then flip it back to 'available' after you're done.

The hotel is very good. The room is spacious with a private onsen and separate air conditioning. Parking costs a small fee. There's a welcome drink of beer or orange juice. Breakfast is good and standard. It's quite far from the train station and the city, but it's peaceful.

great relaxing hotel with a nice Japanese atmosphere. we especially liked the kimono dresses to wear around the hotel and in the Onsen. the Onsen experience was cool and very relaxing.
Frühstück: exceptional buffet for breakfast and dinner!

Great 4.0
It's not far from the station, with ramen and pizza restaurants nearby. However, please note that the convenience store is located inside the hotel across the street and only operates until 11 PM. The hotel has three private hot spring baths, and the total number of rooms is likely small, around 15.
