Relax Hotel Takayama Station

Relax Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent
"I'm a Westerner and I came to Takayama during Obon week to hopefully flee the heat and some of the crowds. There weren't a lot of hotel options available for our family. I usually go for Western hotel chains but gave Relax a chance since the price and location was right and the reviews raved. It lives up to the hype. It's definitely an awesome value. I was definitely impressed with Relax. It's an easy walk from the train station. The mattresses are thick and pretty good. The room was spacious and clean and the breakfast was delicious and large. They also include complimentary beverages and a kitchenette. With limited options I just booked it and didn't realize there was a kitchenette but it could have saves us a lot of money if we decided to cook in the room. I say this with high regard: Relax is like a grown up hostel you can bring your kids. Safe, clean, high value in a location you want to be in."
