Spa Hotel Alpina Hida Takayama

The hotel is not far from the Takayama Bus Station. It is one of the tallest buildings in Takayama. The hot spring scenery and view on the roof are great.

Overall, it's good, but there are two points that prevent me from considering it again: 1. There is hair on the towel. Although I don’t use hotel towels, towels are an important indicator of hygiene. If there is hair on the towel, does it mean that the housekeeping staff did not clean and inspect it thoroughly? After informing the front desk, the service staff only provided new replacement towels. 2. Outside each room, there is a small indicator light. The light will turn on when the card is plugged in. It may be more convenient for housekeeping staff, but it is clear at a glance whether the guest is in the room, which is a safety concern for the guests. The hotel can be reached by walking straight from the east exit of Takayama Station in about 5 minutes. Although it is not as convenient as the ones next to the station, it is not difficult to find, and the road is flat for travelers with large luggage. There is a 24-hour convenience store at the corner of the hotel, which is very convenient. It is a little far away from the station, but relatively close to other major tourist spots in Takayama City, such as Miyagawa Morning Market, Takayama Jinya, Nakabashi, etc. The room is simply decorated. Although it is only 15 square meters, there is enough space to open the suitcase. Microwaves and ice machines are available on two of the nine floors.

It's about 2-3 blocks away from JR Takayama Station. The hotel is right next to the main road and is easy to find. The hotel has a large bath. Moreover, it is only a few minutes' walk from Gaoshan Old Street, which is good.
