My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were spacious, and I especially enjoyed the outdoor private bath on the top floor. The staff, particularly Archie, was friendly and helpful. The location, while a bit remote from convenience stores and restaurants, was only a short walk from the central station.

During our stay, we found the hotel's rooms to be super comfy and the largest ones we had during our Japan trip. They were a brilliant size and very clean, which was refreshing given the limited choice in Takayama. The staff was really nice and helpful, making our experience even better. However, the location was a bit far from the main attractions of Takayama, although it was near the bus station. The dining options were good with international cuisine and a generous selection of dishes, but the facilities lacked storage space for unpacked clothes apart from the coat hangers.

The hotel is nicely located in Takayama-Shi, allowing for easy walking access to the old parts of town. However, it comes at a higher price for the service provided. The room was a bit small with limited wardrobe space, giving the feel of an upscale hostel rather than a full-service hotel.

I particularly enjoyed the outdoor private bath on the top floor. However, the room rate for the festival felt unjustified as it was the same price as my Tokyo stay.

I found the hotel to be a great value for the money. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the pillows were a bit too firm for my liking. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, though there was a slight confusion about my guest status initially. The location was convenient, close to the train and bus station with easy access to tourist areas, but it could get noisy when families with children filled the onsen. The dining options were limited to Japanese cuisine, but overall satisfactory and reasonably priced. The onsen on the roof was a nice touch, offering various options for relaxation.
