Hotel Dengan Bar di Gifu Prefecture, Japan

I chose this hotel because of its location and really good nightly price for a ryokan, which exceeded my expectations. I was also amazed by how massive the hotel was. Overall, I had an exceptional experience staying here. It’s less than an 6-minute walk from Gero Station. The hotel seems to wait for each train’s arrival to pick up guests, which was a nice gesture. We arrived quite early—several hours before check-in—but were able to store our luggage. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff who attended to us did an excellent job explaining the hotel’s facilities, services, and amenities. The service was truly top-notch. The room we reserved was very spacious, with plenty of room to move around and arrange our belongings. Everything was well-maintained, clean, and tidy. The beds were comfortable—I slept very well. The breakfast was wonderful. The dining hall is large and well-organized; despite how crowded it gets during breakfast time, it didn’t feel packed. The food selection was remarkable, with a wide variety of dishes to try. The onsen was incredible. I took multiple baths while trying out the different public onsen—there are three at the hotel, each offering a unique vibe. The facilities and amenities were exactly as advertised in the Services & Amenities section. Out of my recent two-week trip, this accommodation will be the most memorable—not only because I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, but also because I won Monkey D. Luffy Gear 5 figures from the claw machines in their game corner. It was so much fun.

The room is a lot bigger than I expected it to be. I could open my (clamshell-type) luggage fully and still have space to walk!! The hostel is located about a 10min walk, down a straight main road, away from the train/bus station/terminal. Not exactly a pleasant walk in the summer heat, but for the price I gave it no mind. Am very thankful that the hostel has an elevator, saved me from having to lug my luggage up the stairs. It’s also such a sweet touch for the hostel staff to left a sweet (handwritten) welcome message on the bedside table! Takayama is rather walkable city, so it wasn’t troublesome to get to most of the tourist spots on foot!

Ia hanya lima hingga sepuluh minit dari Stesen Bandar Takayama, yang sangat mudah Anda boleh pergi ke pasar raya dalam masa 5 hingga 10 minit. Hotel ini mempunyai kemudahan yang lengkap, termasuk dispenser air, mesin kopi, ketuhar gelombang mikro, dll. Patut dipuji ialah rumah mandian air panas di tingkat sembilan (satu untuk lelaki dan satu untuk lelaki). Mata air panas dibahagikan kepada mata air panas, mata air panas sejuk dan mata air panas separa terbuka. Berendam di mata air panas dan hilangkan keletihan dari perjalanan yang jauh!

A great hotel with a great location. Located next to Family Mart and close to the centre of the historical town. The room layout and size is spacious enough.  Will definitely rebook this hotel.

It was our first experience in an Onsen. We booked the room with the private bath. The room was very spacious, it almost felt like a tiny flat. The tatami and the decoration was tasteful. We valued the privacy of the windows that faced to some ancient pine trees so the private onsen experience was very nice. The best part was the stamps hunt because we got to know everything there is to do and see in the hotel. We stayed in the new wing. Breakfast was very good! Traditional Japanese food.

I love this hotel! 1) The view from the hotel is so beautiful. Even inside the Onsen. 2) The customer service is very nice. A very relaxing place. 3) Breakfast is delicious and there is a very nice garden where you can take photos. Highly recommended.

急な雨。貸し傘が一本しかなくて部屋に持って行こうとしたらダメですって言われた。30分後くらいに支度して出たいから傘を借りれないですか？って聞いたらとにかく部屋に傘を持っていくのはダメと、、、結果出る頃には傘は無くなってた。 傘を盗むわけじゃないのに、短時間借りたいだけなのに、とても不快な気持ちになってしまった、、、、それがなければ良いホテル。その人以外のフロントの人はいい人だった。 シャワーのお湯は温度調整機能なし。 無料のモーニングは写真と違ったけど付いててよかった。 グリーンサラダが業務用ポテサラだった、残念(´ω`)

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Around Takayama very much! The hotel provides excellent amenities and top-notched service. The prime location of hotel allows us to explore all the iconic landmarks around Takayama and Shirakawago easily. Highly recommend Hotel Around Takayama!

The quality of the hotel is very high. It's conveniently located near the train station and a 15 minute walk to the old town. The spa is really nice, clean, and spacious. The family spa is a nice touch. Rooms are very large, comfortable beds, with a tub. The only drawback is breakfast. The restaurant is too small to accommodate guests. It's odd that it's common in Japan to have large hotels, with many guests, include breakfast, and then build a tiny restaurant. Makes no sense. Options are limited and food is the same every day. I wouldn't recommend it, but there's so few options nearby or in the town in general, that you basically have to eat there. Just go before 8 AM. Otherwise, the hotel is really nice.

The hotel is settled in the middle of Gero Hot Spring town, short walk from the train station and can also be reached via bus from Kamikochi area. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. You can feel the spirit of older times in this hotel with a lot of beautifully selected decoration pieces. The manager showed us around and even offered us a new room since I accidentally booked one without shower (we declined that offer since we only wanted to stay for one night). That’s why we used the Onsen area for showering which is beautiful and includes all amenities. View above Gero and including an outside Onsen area to watch the sunrise. The staff was very friendly, the manager even drove us to the bus station since we forgot our jackets in the bus. The bar is well-equipped and a great place for a drink or two. One of the best parts was the breakfast. Never had such a good Japanese breakfast before- delicious, served in a private room, beautifully arranged. Next time we want to try their dinner :-) We felt like family and I can recommend anyone going to Gero to stay at this great hotel! Thanks again for your hospitality!
