Stayed here for two nights where one day was spent exploring Takayama and another for a day trip to Shirakawago. The building, room, baths, and everything are very nice and the family running the place are all very friendly. Our room didn't have any bathroom or basin inside which was fine since we enjoyed using the shared bath (like an onsen) (minor inconvenience is if you want to get water or something, you have to walk out of the room). Only points of inconvenience for me would be the wifi was spotty in the room (my SO's macbook and iphone could connect better in the lobby but not my Samsung phone anywhere) and the location. There's a convenient shuttle bus leaving the hotel to drop guests off at Takayama Station at 830/900/930 but in terms of coming back, you're on your own - the local bus gets you pretty close but in the winter, at least, it stops running pretty early so you'll have to take a 1000 yen cab otherwise. We don't recall seeing many places to eat nearby either. Other than those points, we had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it!
