Hotels in Old Town Takayama, Takayama

"Amazingly located, striking architecture, friendly and accommodating staff. The quality of the amenities and the quality of service & small touches is very good. Website does not work properly and is outdated as mentioned a free early morning walking tour but staff did not know anything about this so assume it does not run any longer. The free bar is such a nice touch, though I wonder if the hotel should actually charge or somehow limit number of drinks per guest. Would definitely stay again! "

"zen like room, nice details, location very convenient"

"The rooms come with an attached kitchenette and washing machine which was a bonus to help us with our laundry. We stayed in Shinjuku, Matsumoto and Takayama. It was the biggest room we stayed and we loved it. Conveniently located next to the Bus and Train stations. "

"Wonderful immersive experience, fantastic breakfasts and great central location. Incredible staff!"

"Todo bien"

"I loved this hotel, I would have given it a 5 star except for Barman on Thursday night 19th March who was very offhand bordering on rude. Everything else was excellent."

" Wonderful staff!!! Great location…right near the Old Town. And the food was delicious!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Wat Hotel & Spa Hida Takayama and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Takayama. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the old town, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were surprisingly spacious (especially compared to typical Japanese hotels), very clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the onsen and spa facilities. They were beautifully maintained, relaxing, and such a nice way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I also loved the option of private baths—it made the experience feel even more special. A really standout moment for us was arriving to find a thoughtful honeymoon setup in our room, including a handwritten-style card, flowers, and balloons. It was such a lovely surprise and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated—such a special touch that we didn’t expect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and everything felt very well organised. The breakfast had a good mix of Japanese and Western options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, this hotel offers amazing value for money with great facilities, comfort, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!"

"Clean room is very good"
