Takayama Matsukawa Gorge Hotels

"Good breakfast, friendly staff, clean room"

"First, the pictures on expedia or even the hotels website did not do this place justice. This is a gorgeous hotel with lots to do and see. We were checked in by "Lucky" who spoke really great english. He spent about an hour with us checking us in, walking us to our rooms, showing us everything in our rooms and helping with luggage. Both the dinner and breakfast were buffet with lots of options. I think we were the only foreigners there but they did not treat us any different. The shuttle down to the town square is very convenient. We did not use the hot springs but we did use the open air bath in our room which was amazing. The beds were reasonable comfortable. Enjoyed the plethora of amenities and open space in the room. "

"Perfect spot. Large room. Sort of patio area. Friendly staff. This is shared bathroom. I would.come back with my family again."

"Very relaxing location. Private onsen was a really nice addition. "

"Hotel housei was my favorite stay in Japan, even after spending triple as much money for some other hotels. The staff is simply amazing, they went above and beyond for accommodation. Kei at the front desk was very helpful in showing me around the hotel & also recommended a restaurant that was one of my favorite I’ve been to. The gentlemen at the front desk even set up a specific shuttle for me to the snow monkey park because I was going to leave before their set time. They took me alone to the park in the morning, and even offered to pick me up and shuttle me back after I had checked out to the train station! Seriously an amazing establishment, I could not recommend them more. "

"Dinner is great! Onsen facilities are great! Place is clean and has a traditional ryokan vibe as described. Must come!"

"Breakfast is really good, they are many choices, all taste great! In-room hot-spring bath is very relaxing with good views. It would be even better if the front desk staff could understand more English."

"One of the best stays I've ever had!! Great service, great food, extremely friendly and helpful staff!! "

"Great quality food and Onsen. Very clean and staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great as it is a quick walk to the Yubetake and main shopping street. We got new yukata and night clothes each day. "
