Top Takayama Hotel Reviews

Relax Hotel Takayama Station

Relax Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent
"When staying in Takayama, do yourself a favor and pick this hotel. It’s very unassuming and not luxurious, but they think about every single detail you can imagine. From the amenities (free laundry room, kitchenware, snacks, drinks, they even left a bag on my door with extra towels and other stuff when I chose the no cleaning option for the day), to the outstanding included breakfast and the attentive staff, I found myself very happy with my choice even though I stayed in other luxury and more aesthetically appealing hotels throughout my Japan trip. Don’t get me wrong, the hotel is nice, but the rooms have an Airbnb more than hotel feeling. The location is also unbeatable very close to the station and just a short walk from the main streets and shops."
