Independent Otani hotels

"Courteous staff "

"I had a really enjoyable stay at Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Gujo. Concierge staff (Kawaii) was extremely helpful and took time to answer my questions regarding food and transport options to nearby sight-seeing spots. Even though there was a language barrier, she took effort with using a translation app and ensuring I got the help needed. The hotel is also really nice and clean! I especially like the common area with shared kitchen amenities. Just a heads up for those intending to stay here (especially those not driving). Hope this will help future travellers! 1. Please check the railway timing at Mino-Ota Station before arriving, as trains don't run frequently on the Nagaragawa Railway to Gujo-Yamato. During your stay if you want to visit nearby sight-seeing attractions, please also check the railway timing. 2. The hotel is actually just a straight road from Gujo-Yamato Station, not sure why Google Maps showed me a de-tour. "

"Enjoyed the spacious room - not typical in Japan. The spa and setting were great. The traditional breakfast was a treat."

"Very nice cabin in the Gifu mountains with a covered patio outside that’s fitted with a charcoal grill, sink, fire wood and a portable fire pit. The cabin was very clean, spacious, and well built with a unique taste. Two bedrooms on the second floor with a front facing sitting room. The shower room was very nice with a large tub crafted from wood. The owners are also very sweet, one of them speaks good English. They provide you charcoal and fire starter for the grill, but be aware that bath towels are not provided. You’ll need to bring your own. I enjoyed this place very much and plan on visiting again soon. "
