8/10 Good
"This is a large sprawling hotel with a relatively new addition block (2020) I think, in which we had a very nice room looking out onto the wide open area and above the large car and coach parking area. The Hotel appears to cater mostly to Bus tour operators with these arriving and departing daily. The staff were mostly really nice and helpful, we used the outdoor Onsen pool which was great, there were others to choose also. Didn’t have the breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment. The shuttle bus starts running to the train & bus stations at 8:00am which we found very strange, usually a hotel this size would have it running 24hrs or at least from 6am. The hotel is so large unfamiliar guests can easily get lost or not know where to find the different areas. Nice hotel and I’d stay again if ever in Takayama."

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a hotel in Gero. For those seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and sometimes greater value. When you book with Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may offer better rates, helping you to secure a more favourable deal.
  4. Consider your location: Choosing accommodation closer to key attractions or city centres may provide convenience but often tends to come with higher costs. For more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and ease of access to the places you intend to visit. You might also look into independent hotels further afield, as they can offer a more authentic and usually more affordable experience.
