The hotel is conveniently located near the Takaoka station, however, the train between Shin-Takaoka where the shinkansen actually stop and Takaoka is not very regular so you may want to consider your arrival and departure time.

Nice rooms but a bit on the small size (true to pictures). Staff was friendly and helpful. They have a public bath with water from a source (can't remember where) which was a nice touch and definitely enjoyed by Japanese people. There are laundry facilities which are relatively well priced.

There are konbini, bus stop, and tram stop nearby. Microwave is available. Even though the room is small (typical japanese hotel for 6,000-7,000 yen), but I could fully open 1 medium sized luggage. Small space to hang clothes. Acceptable bathroom size. The bathtub size is bigger than I thought. The location, it's actually walkable from Takaoka eki, but since we travel in snow, it's quite hard to walk and opted for public transportation.

Near the station. The staff are really helpful. My night bus is at 10pm, and I have to stay in the hotel lobby until 9:30 and I need to charge my phone. Since there were no free outlets, the staff helped me by unplugging the desk lamp so I could charge my phone.

Very clean and well thought out design

The trains run just outside and the noise could bother some people.

Spotless as I would expect of an APA. Provided me with a plug converter to use North American electronics where the cord has a ground prong. Nice to have an onsen on site.

We already knew that the room size would be small, so I'm not saying that I didn't like it but if there was anything to improve on in the hotel it would be to have more space in the room. Having said that I do appreciate that we were getting very good value for money at this hotel so the room size was a good compromise for that. :-)

The hotel is in a very convenient location beside the train station and close to shops/restaurants. We loved having the Onsen in the hotel and it was not crowded during our 4 day stay.

It's the first time I hear the hotel has a heating system that controls all the rooms. That is during our visit in Nov, there's no air condition and we cannot control from our room. The hotel turns on the heating system in the evening for all the rooms. At the end, the staff sent us a blower, which is not of much help, it only cools the room slightly.

Nothing to dislike.

All facilities good. Plenty of room for luggage under the bed. Has it's own Onsen. Near to the bus and train station.

Their decor was a bit garish and it did not make me want to stay long. The facility was ver clean but visually it was assaulting.

Location at the rail station was very helpful in having our luggage held.

Doors of your neighbors and people talking in the hallway are quite noisy. The bathroom is very small (have seen some bigger in other hotels). Small things, but still quite noticeable for some people.

We got a room on their top floor and the view was amazing. The room is small but has everything you need for a night away. The TV aimed right at our bed was honestly great for watching a movie and falling asleep. The hotel is right next to the station, so easy accessible.

I stayed here for a couple nights en route to a more rural part of Japan and I was very comfortable here. The hotel is clean and only steps away from the train station, which was excellent. The only thing I didn't love was hearing my neighbors, as the walls seemed rather thin. Nothing disruptive but was just different than the other places I stayed in Japan. Overall a real bang for your buck though!

I find that the temperature of the bath was slightly too hot, maybe could lower 1-2 degrees? The hairdryer in the hot bath can be improved, there is only 1 hair dryer which was good.

Its about 2 minutes away from the train station, so there is many food available. The hotel has only 10 over parking lots, staff was very kind enough to share all the nearby parking before hand which was extremely helpful. The tap water is delicious haha, its tasted even nicer than the bottle provided! The bath was big enough as well, even though there was many people but it felt comfortable. Love the bed and the pillows, always have neck issues but its actually quite good, thought of purchasing it online! Check in and out was extremely smooth.

The space of the room, and toilet was small! 😌 Could've been better if 'twas spacious!

The bed was so soft, and it was clean! It's accessible to train and bus station. The male staff who attended to us was nice.

The lamps in the room were all very bright, didn't feel cozy

Loved the space under the bed for keeping the bags open

Breakfast was not included, a little bit pricey for what was on offer but overall a fine hotel.

Similar to other Japan hotel, the room size is quite small. There is no separate area to place the suitcase. When I open the suitcase to get some items, it occupies most walking area in the room. See if the room layout can be improved to place the suitcase easily.

The hotel is well located and very close to the railway station by walk less than 5 minutes. Very convenient if you need to take train to other areas to commute. The onsen in the hotel is superb with long open time that can help relax my body after a whole day visit in the city. The room facilities are very comprehensive. The bed and pillow are very comfortable.
