Guest reviews· 8.7/10 (199)
Hotel Hotaka consistently receives praise as a traditional Japanese hotel offering a relaxing retreat, particularly noted for its gorgeous outdoor onsen. Guests frequently highlight the authentic experience provided by the traditional rooms and tatami flooring. Its location is also a strong advantage, contributing to its reputation as "the best of Takayama." Many visitors express a desire to stay longer, indicating a highly enjoyable and satisfying experience.
While the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, a few practical points emerge from guest feedback. Reviewers occasionally mention the substantial dinner offerings, humorously advising against a large lunch to fully appreciate the evening meal. Additionally, prospective guests should be aware that the upper floors are accessible only by stairs, which might be a consideration for some.
