Gero, Gifu Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Best accommodation i have stayed in during my trip to Japan. Great price amazing staff and facilities "

"Stayed for three nights and wished we had booked longer. The best place we stayed in Japan. Room was spacious lots of room for a family of four. Staff was helpful and fridge was stocked with water and drinks. Great view. Location was perfect. Would stay again."

"It was a great place to stay. Clean, spacious, and easy access to the long distance buses and trains. Walkable distance to the old town area of Takayama too. "

"The hotel overall was very good. We booked it via Expedia for 3 adults and one15 yrs old, but it was appare fly a triple room so they charged us for an extra adult even though there was not really sleep space for 4 people. I’m not sure if the confusion was at the Expedia website or the property but they should either change the children definition age or at least warn tourists about it. "

"We took the Hida from Nagoya and as soon as you exit, it is a shoe 5-minute walk to your right. The check in was through a kiosk and staff was there to assist if needed. After checking in, the staff explained all of the features of the hotel including the barefoot policy, the onsen and the included nightly ramen service. Our room was spacious with a tea service container on the table. The amenities included a double and single bed, refrigerator, makeup area for my wife, a television (never used while we were there!), and a very nice bathroom. The onsen on the 13th floor had a waiting area with public men’s and women’s onsens along with three private onsens. Also on the 13th floor was a laundry room with two washers and two dryers. Washing was free and the dryer cost 100Y for 20 min. The hotel was very close (10 min walk) to the old town and the daily Miyagawa outdoor market. An amazing hotel that I’d recommend 100%!"

"Great place to stay. Every room has a washing machine. "

"Again service in Japan and at hotel Around was faultless. Our hotel was perfectly situated for a 3 night stay. Walking distance to train and shopping/ old quarter etc. Really enjoyed Takayama and our hotel. "

"This hotel is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff were helpful and always very friendly. The breakfast option was extraordinary, a private banquet of traditional Japanese dishes. The hot spring is beautiful, a rock pool flowing with healing water, always available. It is right on the Hida River which brings a soft tranquility. The walk into town is short, 15 or 20 minutes brings you to the center of town, with many dining options, temples and shrines. A truly memorable and relaxing experience."

"Big hotel.. convenient for walking near the river. Must choose new building the newly renovated one"
