Lively clean cute hotel. While the rooms weren’t large they were comfortable and nice. Breakfast was great also. Staff was very nice and allowed a late checkout.

Great location for walking around the city. Great little cafe downstairs. Beds a bit too hard.
Really enjoyed the stay here. We had the largest suite, which had an amazing size tub and every amenity we could think of. My husband has reared this the best hotel we have stayed at so far.
It was a small cozy property located very close to the train station and easy walk to many restaurants. The room was small, but was clean and comfortable had all the needed ameneties. The adjacent cafe was excellent as well.
Lovely boutique hôtel. Confortable beds, nice sitting area and beautiful big wooden bathtub. Well situated to wander around the city. Nice café downstairs. Amazing service, room was ready before so we could access earlier. We had the luggage sent by Yamoto, and it was already in the room.
Very comfortable and modern hotel just a few minutes walking from Takayama station. Very friendly welcome and staff, small but lovely (bath)room with separate wc. Café on ground flour is perfect for breakfast and lunch. 5 stars well deserved!
The hotel is almost directly across from the train and bus station making it very convenient. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The traditional soaking tub was wonderful, since the weather was cold and sometimes rainy.
Great value for the price. Small room but in a great area with a fabulous coffee shop below with breakfast and coffee and drinks. Room was super clean and comfy. Nice wood bathtub.
Nice location with a small parking lot next door. Decent size of room. Good breakfast at the cafe. We left an iphone at the hotel room; the hotel staff contact us immediately and sent the phone to our next hotel free of charge.
A relatively small comfortable room; separate washroom and bathroom which look quite new. 1 coin laundry machine available on our floor (w 3 units). In-room amenities are great, including steam iron and iron board. Convenient location.
This is an amazing boutique hotel. There are 12 rooms on 6 floors with reception and an excellent restaurant on the ground level. My room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and attractive/very well-designed. I opted to pay for a first-rate breakfast with the room -- the panini of the day, a salad, a mixed berry banana smoothie, and yogurt with granola. Loved it. All of the food at the restaurant was excellent. Plus they serve alcohol. The only drawback to the restaurant is that it closes at 5 pm. The staff are uniformly pleasant and hard-working. The location can't be beat - 5 minutes the the train station and within easy walking distance of most tourist sites.
Perfect modern hotel room with a perfect location!
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. It was very close (walking distance) to the Takayama Station & the Bus Station (for Shirokawago), and also walking distance to the old town area. The room is very efficiently laid out with a hinoki-like tub and shower room with a separate toilet (washlet) room and a separate little tea/coffee area. It has an open-style closet with a clothes hanging rod and shelf for luggage. The beds were a little hard for me, but I know the Japanese/Asian guests like hard beds. I like that they had 2 different types of pillows: one soft and one harder with beads on one side. My room came with breakfast and 2 free drinks from the Hid's Cafe & Bar. The food was excellent and the cafe latte was superb!!!
Despite the photo and map we walked past the hotel twice before we realized it was behind the curtain. Once we found it everything was great. The room was comfortable and in good condition. You have to get used to having the bathroom light come on when you open the door and the toilet seat popping up. We have a traditional hinoki tub in our house so this one felt almost like plastic - but it looked good and had a great shower. The hotel provided two bottles of water and drip coffee. We heard no noise from the road and there were only two other rooms on our floor.
This a sweet little hotel in a great location, but note that it is really very small, with no lobby or lounge, limited front desk hours and breakfast in a cafe downstairs. Like a b&b, you must tell them when you’d like breakfast the next day, due to limited space. Washer/dryers on most floors. Top floor suite is modest for a “suite,” but has a lovely view of snow capped mountains.
