"We were made to feel exceptionally welcomed on arrival by the staff. The place was comfortable and clean, the staff extremely attentive, and we were provided with every amenity required. We felt that the offer of the Yukatas and sleeping garments were really considerate. We enjoyed the carefully curated dishes for dinner. Really exceptional service, this is how luxury travel used to feel and sadly has been lost in many places in more modern times. Highly rated. Takayama was the highlight of our...

"It was an amazing stay. We chose the hotel due to its proximity to the railway station, the japanese occidental set up and the onsen. Our room was clean and spacious, the pijamas were super nice. I went to the female onsen three times and I was on my own. We enjoyed the private onsen only once as there was always a queue. We've also got the breakfast included, it was good with a lot of options to choose."

"This was our first experience staying at a Ryoken and using an onsen. We loved the experience. The room was quite small and basic but it was exceptionally clean and met all of our needs. The level of service was top notch. I can safely say that I have never experienced that high level of service in my life. We enjoyed both the dinner and breakfast meals they offered. We felt they were good value and an interesting tasty cultural experience. Takayama itself was a beautiful quiet little town that...

"Wow c etait fantastique! Emplacement facile d’accès, près de la gare et a 10 minutes de marche du district. J’ai tout aimé de cet hôtel! Des va à ces dans nos vacances! Nous avions la suite avec le spa! Wow wow!!"

HOTEL AMANEK HidaTakayama

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the breakfast! It was one of the best breakfast so far. It had lots of choices from traditional Japanese to western choices. I appreciated it learning and tasting the Japanese breakfast as I am here to do so. The room was clean and quiet. The bed and pillows were comfortable. I wished we had a better view of the city but we got the wall and roof of the building next to us. I like that it was very close to the bus station and that we were able to leave our luggage before we checked in so we could explore the city. The staff was very helpful in providing us with information. They were also very friendly and polite. The staff is what makes a hotel experience excellent!"

Relax Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent

"Très bonne prestation et très bien placé"

Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan

Hotel and Spa Gift TAKAYAMA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very conveniently located. It’s 5 minutes away from the train and the tour bus stations and 10 to 15 minutes away from the major attractions. I only used taxis once in hope to see the Golden Temple but be aware that most temples close at 4 PM in Takayama. All the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. I’d say 70 % speak English but have your Google Translate ready to use. Good breakfast. People enjoyed the onsen and told me great things about it. Small bathroom. Daily housekeeping service was impeccable. I would stay here again if I come to Takayama."
