The hotel is conveniently located a few minutes walk from Takayama station. It's a pretty small town, so all the main tourist sites are well within comfortable walking distance. The unique selling point of this hotel is the sento on the top floor. Taking a hot bath outside in the cold was outstanding. I love sentos so I went here every night I stayed in the hotel. The room was immaculately clean. For some reason it had a weird echo, perhaps some decorations on the wall would solve that. Zero noise from the outside at night. The bed was too hard for my tastes, it was quite uncomfortable. I don't know how many times I have written this in reviews for hotels in mainly Asia, but I can't understand how people invest millions in opening a hotel but skimp on the beds. Too many times I have slept (or tried to sleep) in a continental bed that is missing the top mattress.

Staff so friendly and helpul. Onsen great, hotel walking distance to train station and interesting areas of the city.

Great location, helpful staff

The hotel os modern but the bedroom furniture was tired. Room a generous size. Used the roof top onsen indoors and outdoor but the ladies side the glass is opaque so no view. Pjs are outdated and very warm after a hot bath. Great location and loads of parking. Easy walk into town or the station

Great, awesome easy to access tourist attractions

It was ok

Breakfast was included, very good mostly Japanese. Staff very helpful, close to station & walkable to all attractions, good amenities that you just help yourself. Public bath was fantastic, total of 3 in the women part.

Spa Hotel Alpina Hidatakayama is a centrally located, well appointed hotel within central Takyama, close to the stations, the old town and a myriad of temples, shrines and cemeteries. Staff were helpful, kind and accommodating. The top floor baths were a real treat after a long day. The breakfast buffet, at 1600 yen per person, was pretty much what you'd expect, a little uninspired but convenient.
