Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

L'odore della camera (però è bastato aprire la finestra per un paio d'ore perché svanisse), il cuscino troppo alto e duro

Best shower and bed
Pros:

The beds were so comfortable I had a great sleep. The room was a good size for the money and oh my God the shower was the best I have had for a long time. High pressure really hot or really cold felt like fresh ice mountain water. Location is on point. Probably can't get any better in takayama.

Cons:

Now it's not a biggy. And for us it was not a problem but if you get vertigo, you probably won't like the stairs. And another small thing. We stood outside a little when we arrived because the door was shut. We figured out we had to pull the door open after a little bit but a small sign saying pull would have saved us 10 min.

Majoitus hyvällä sijainnilla
Pros:

Majoituksen sijainti oli täydellinen kaupunkiin tutustumista varten. Ympäristö oli todella viihtyisä ja huoneesta oli hieno näköala Takayama Jinyan suuntaan. Erityistä kiitosta huoneen koosta ja sängystä.

Cons:

Mahdollista melua voi kuulua ulkoa kadulta tai viereisestä huoneesta.

Pros:

Está al lado de la zona antigua, en menos de 2 minutos se llega. La estación de tren queda a unos 20 minutos andando. Habitación amplia con todo lo necesario. Ducha y wc separados. Tiene una terraza arriba del todo para ver el atardecer.

Cons:

No está bien insonorizado y se oye a la gente pasar y subir y bajar. Las cortinas no tapan bien la luz, por lo que si te despiertas fácilmente, mejor llevar antifaz... El colchón podría ser mejor, era un poco duro.

Suffisant pour une nuit d'escale
Pros:

Emplacement proche de la vieille ville

Cons:

Check-in interminable sur tablette puis appel vidéo avec le personnel
Attention, l'escalier est très raide et sans ascenseur, les chambres étant au 1er et 2e étage, il faut pouvoir les monter et redescendre sans tomber ou se faire mal. Personnellement je suis sujet au vertige et j'ai eu beaucoup de mal à descendre les escaliers, heureusement que nous étions au 1er

Hôtel très bien situé ☺️ et fonctionnel je recommande
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé ☺️, fonctionnel et propre, cuisine et machine à laver sur place 🙏, chambre spacieuse.

Cons:

Il faut juste s'habituer au check in virtuel 👍 et j'ai eu une information contradictoire, on m'a dit port USB dans la chambre et en fait non j'ai dû aller acheter un adaptateur en dernière minute donc prévoyez 🙏

Would recommend.
Pros:

Decent accommodation. Not fancy but very good for a few nights’ stay.

Cons:

The toilet room was very small. And you could hear the steps of people stay on the above floor.

Excelente ubicación y habitaciones amplias
Pros:

La ubicacion es imbatible, literalmente ubicado frente a uno de los puntos turísticos principales y a 2 cuadras de la cuadra principal de comercios y restaurantes. Hasta se puede ver el atardecer sobre el templo desde el bar en el último piso.

Las habitaciones tienen un estilo más occidental, son amplias comparada con la media pero al mismo tiempo la vibra del hotel es bastante japonesa al ser lo que parece un ryokan remodelado

Cons:

La única Razón por la que no le doy un 10/10 es porque la única forma de llegar a las habitaciones es por escalera y son bastante empinadas. Nosotros solo con mochila nos cansamos, con valija es un trabajo
