    Nice little hotel. Very comfortable. Was designed thinking about the client. Had everything you wanted: little sofa, roomy, good shower, outlets next to the beds, washing machine available, cafeteria on first floor. Very close to station and to old part of town.

    No prominent signage of the hotel.. Had to Google to find picture of the exterior of the hotel to eventually locate it.

    Location and the washing machine/dryer on each floor. It was useful and convenient.

    Great location. The room was large with comfortable beds. I thought the bathroom with the deep wooden bath was perfect so was the fact you could warm the whole bathroom to act as a sauna. It was like having your own onsen.

    Nothing!

    It’s a small hotel - only two rooms on our floor which helps with noise and lift being available quickly. Location is great - very close to the station and walking distance to the old town. We enjoyed the complimentary welcome drink at Hid’s Cafe which also does an excellent battered fish and chips. The room was the most spacious we had in Japan with a luggage rack and plenty floor space to leave a second bag open on the carpet. As well as space to hang up clothes if needed. There was also an ironing board and iron which was unexpected. We could charge both our devices using the USB ports next to each bed. The bed was very comfy and noise insulation excellent. There is free water dispenser on the 3rd floor and washing machine and dryer.

    The small boutique hotel is brand new! Steps away from the train and bus station. Rooms are spacious and super clean. Staff very nice kind and helpful. We went to the restaurant the staff recommended, fantastic!

    Location near to Takayama train station, Nori bus station and restaurants. Walk to the station is less than 10 minutes. Check-in was efficient and rooms are not huge but spacious enough for 2. The beds are comfortable and love the wood-like bath tub n shower. They provide amenities such as tooth brush, cotton buds, shaver, shower cap, hair dryer and even tongs for hair. Upon check in, were given 2 drinks vouchers which we exchanged for coffee in the coffeehouse situated in the same location called Hida Cafe. Their morning set breakfast at 2200 yen consisted panini, yoghurt, a smoothie and choice of coffee. If you plan your use Takayama as a base to travel to Shirawagako or Shinhokata Ropeway, this hotel is highly recommended!

    Top stay in Takayama.

    We booked the Suite with city view. Very nice spacious room with 3 beds. Beds are big, and comfy. The bathroom has a shower and a square bath. You almost feel you are in a 'spa'. Good tea and coffee pads. The hotel has only a few rooms with a beautiful cafe at the ground floor. You had to pick a breakfast time in advance so the table was reserved at Hid's Cafe & Bar, a popular place for hotel guests and others. Food was super healthy. Matcha Latte the best, coffee as well fabulous. Walking distance to the old town but also with some top restaurants in the street as well as izakayas near the train station.

    As above. Nothing we didn't like.

    Excellent boutique hotel. Prime location with an easy 5 minute walk to the old town. If travelling by train only 3 minutes away. Great place and vibe. Breakfast was excellent too and a free drink to go. No complaints whatsoever. And a timber bath too!!!
