Ever
Pros:

The most hi-tech toilet we've had during the whole trip, haha. Everything is great, the beds are comfortable, it's clean, friendly staff, lounge area with tea and coffee available. Located very close to the morning market, and the town in general is small and everything is like 15 min walk. One of the best hotels.

Cons:

2 hooks at the entrance to the room would have made our life better: one for the keys, and one for bags/coat.

Excellent staff and location
Pros:

The staff were amazing, special thanks to Sara who went over and beyond. The accommodation was traditional Japanese and super homely. Thank you, you made our stay in Takayama memorable.

Cons:

The only thing i’d say was a room on the upper floor would be better due to noise .

Excellent staff, perfect location.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. The property is located a short walk to the bus station and a short walk to the old district. Perfect. We loved the lobby/sitting area that offered coffee, tea and snacks. It was very cozy. Plenty of restaurants close by and a convenience store just a five minute walk away.

Cons:

It was all good.

A calm and comfortable place to stay
Pros:

This is a well-run and a very agreeable hotel. Within easy walking distance of the historic part of Takayama it is also a calm place to be. Good breakfasts, nice sized rooms and very friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

A little wear and tear on the furnishings in our room, otherwise nothing to say here.
