We absolutely loved this hotel. It's relatively small, so you get a lovely personal experience with kind staff and little treats like afternoon snacks and unlimited tea and coffee. The lounge-dining area is great to relax in after a day of sightseeing, with a view onto the little internal garden. Our room was fantastic; I chose a quadruple room to have more space. This was like a little apartment with its own lounge area, two double beds (plus two bunks above), bathroom with cedar tub, separate toilet and a nice view onto the garden. Perfect room for friends or family sharing. Modern interior design in charcoal greys, everything very clean and tidy. They will arrange breakfast for you from a local cafe, or you could bring your own to the dining area - there's a toaster, plates and bowls available. I didn't try their lovely sento bath, but we did use their handy coin laundry. The location is great, just 10mins from the station, then a bit less than that to the busy historic area. Lots of great restaurants nearby, as well as the 7-11 a few mins away. I would definitely return or recommend to friends!

We really enjoyed our stay here! We were graciously upgraded upon our arrival. We were hosted by Issekei-san (apologies if it was not the right spelling!). Parking needs to be reserved in advance. We suggest guests to reach out to the hotel ahead of time. It is 1000 yen per day at a parking spot near the hotel (1-2 mins walk). Issekei-san and his team demonstrated kindness and hospitality to me and my family by carrying our luggages from across the street (where I temporarily parked to get parking directions), and ensured that we were comfortable. He even made accommodations for us when other guests used up all the dryers such that we were able to complete our laundry by the end of our trip! The rooms and the onsens were also marvelous! The Machiya is truly worthy of its high rating. I'd visit Takayama again just for this hotel ^_^

A great hotel and would stay again. There was a nice shared sitting area (which is not common in Japan) to relax at besides just being in your room. They had a serving bar with different teas, coffee machine and sodas, all free. A microwave in the main area, washer and dryer in a shared area. Small amount to pay for washer but dryer was free. Two different private baths which you book upon arrival, a small fee to use but very nice experience. Shower facilities in bath to use before getting into the water. Parking across the street. We rented a car for one day and parked at their sister-hotel for a small fee, very convenient. Hotel is in a great location; close to the old district, car rentals, restaurants and train station. A relaxing an comfortable hotels, would stay again.

This is a fantastic little hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The downstairs area is beautiful with drinks available free of charge at all times, and board games to sit and play. We also used the private bath which was lovely. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The shower was good and there was a little heater in the bathroom as well as a bigger one in the bedroom so you could get everywhere cosy. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The room was very good value for money. It was a short walk to the historic area and the station is about 10 mins walk. There are cafes and restaurants very close to the hotel. We would defiantly stay here again.

Location was great, very close to all of the restaurants. If you would like to try a really, really good Hida steak, there's a little (think 10 seats) steak house only 100m away. Fantastic steak. The hotel was comfortable with a really nice common area offering free coffee and teas, little snacks and drinks. The rooms were fine with possibly the best Japanese toilets we'd seen in Japan - took ten minutes to figure it out but it really was phenomenal :) Beds were comfy. Staff friendly and helpful.
