Love the free sake tasting every night. And the free ice cream after the onsen

Hotel Wood is a great place to stay in Takayama. The accommodations are comfortable and clean, staff is helpful and friendly, the location is incredible, and the amenities are very generous and fun. The complimentary happy hour sake tasting, beer, tea, and coffee in a comfortable lounge area was especially appreciated. The twin room was a decent size for a couple traveling with two large bags, not large but very comfortable.

Loved this hotel. Perfectly positioned and close to everything the Old Town has to offer. Modern, stylish and clean hotel with very helpful staff. The large lobby space used for breakfast (excellent Japanese Bento box/ or Western choice) and communal sharing is an excellent idea. The free drinks and sake tasting every evening is such a wonderful idea. We hired a car and parking was provided as we had advised the hotel ahead of our arrival.

I loved everything about this hotel! It’s stylish, well located, the facilities are fantastic, and the staff very attentive. The free evening bar and local sake was an absolute pleasure!

Great location next to the old town. The train and bus station is a 15 minute straight shot. Everything... restaurants, snack food, sake tasting, old scenic town, souvenirs,convenience store, etc is just outside the door of the hotel. The breakfasts are good and the staff is friendly and helpful (English is spoken). There is also a convenient bath. This hotel is also a good value. The one knock I have is that the beds are super hard, to their point of uncomfortable for me.

Perhaps the bed could be more comfortable with more than just 1 pillow.

This is a beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. It’s located in the heart of the old town area, just a block from Sanmachi Suji, which is perfect for those staying more than one night and planning to explore the area. I initially considered a hotel closer to the station, but in the end, staying near the main attractions was much more convenient, especially since I was traveling alone for two nights as I could easily go back and forth to the hotel for a quick rest. Almost everything was great for me and the interior was spacious with a modern Japanese design. I had quite a view from my room, so during winter, I could check how cold it was outside and I got to enjoy the beautiful sight of the snow!

- rooms not fully sound proof. Bunch of noisy Chinese and Korean tourists being very loud early in the morning in the corridor and it felt as if they were in the room with us - though the room design is pretty it’s not functional (eg sink area is in the bedroom instead of bathroom)

- really great location next to the main traditional streets of Takayama - very zen design of the rooms and hotel in generals. Room was very spacious - breakfast bentos were delicious - free sake tasting every evening - laundry machines that actually work (eg dryer dried things fairly quickly unlike the machines we had in other hotels) - very friendly and helpful staff - could park the car in the hotel

The male onsen could do with more amenities like body lotion and shaving razors

Location was fantastic and the property oozed a really old world charm and cool

We were only able to stay for one night and would have loved to stay longer!

I can’t put into words how much we loved this hotel, the staff were exceptional and good at explaining everything to us in English. The lounge bar was lovely, the breakfast was a great experience for a first traditional Japanese breakfast and we had our first introduction to Onsen. The hotel is so close to Takayama Old Town and we felt it offered incredible value for the experience.

1. I think the hotel can better manage their sakae tasting sessions/timings as I do believe the hotel conducts these sessions for tourists who are not guests at the hotel too. The lounge area is fairly small and can get very crowded quite fast. 2. Breakfast is a traditional style Japanese bento set or a western set. It may lack variety for those who stay for more than 2 nights.

Staff was very friendly and polite. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable too. Overall, a very pleasant 3-night stay. Decent location as it is a 15-20 min walk from Takayama station. Although this not an issue, perhaps the hotel can consider having a shuttle bus service.

Nothing, we would definitely stay again.

Great location and a happy hour on an evening which was a lovely touch.
