Guest Reviews
Hostel Murasaki
Hostel MurasakiStaff were excellent and the kitchen/free snacks were great. Thoughtful touches like free earplugs.
Loved the 100-year-old traditional house charm; tatami beds and electric blankets made for a cozy sleep.
Stairs are steep and bathrooms are only on the ground floor.
Great location walkable to both the train station and old town; friendly staff.
Rooms near common areas have paper doors, so noise carries easily.
Spa Hotel Alpina Hida Takayama
Spa Hotel Alpina Hida TakayamaSpacious room with good separation. The public bath and pillow rental service are excellent.
Great location, 5-minute walk from the station. The rooftop onsen is very relaxing.
Excellent location and lovely onsen. Nice touch with the pillow selection at the reception.
The bed was rock-hard.
