Hirayu Onsen Vacations from ￥34,502

Overall can only rate it OK and not sure if would want to stay at this hotel if I do visit Nagoya again. Distance: ok ‘quite’ near to malls and Nagoya station, however if to drag luggage from station to hotel vice versa there is a challenge with the distance. Avoid underground walkway as is up and down stairs. Cleanliness: I was surprised on the hotel eco efforts, sure no cleaning to be done on daily and they will replace towels, provide the tea and bottled water. Do note the replaced new towels are placed inside plastic bag so not sure how this help with their eco claims. The ‘new’ towels are not that clean have spotted hair on the towels in the plastic bag 3 times during my 5 nights stay. Amenities are the very basic ones. Room: central aircon and super super hot, basically like no air ventilation. I was given a corner room facing the road and I must say sound proof very bad super noisy from the road traffic. The saving grace will be the staff at the reception, very helpful team.

Stayed with wife and 2 children. Conveniently located beside Takayama train and bus station. Clean and spacious. Partnership onsen is at another building which is 7-10min walk away. Will be perfect if it is in the same building.

We enjoyed our three nights stay. It is right in the center of the old town, you can walk everywhere. The staff in the hotel are super nice and helpful. We have three mornings Japanese breakfast, amazing experience!

This is a great escape from the city and offers many options for enjoying the area or if you have younger children, many play facilities are available. Staff is great as always at any Hoshino facility.
