Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki

The hotel is so conveniently located within the Takasaki station. Thjs means there are lots of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner (no need to get the hotel breakfast). The rooms are quite small, and the "queen" bed is small too, only big enough for 1 person. However it is safe and clean. Pros: 1. Location. 2. Clean (bathroom was immaculate). 3. All amenities available. 4. Drip coffee in the rooms (my first time to try this out and im hooked!) 5. Sleepwear provided. 6. Elevator from reception directly to station Cons: 1. Small room I would definitely come back here if I were in Takasaki.

Rooms were small and tight for a couple. Location was great with the rail station just next door. Eateries were easy to find and there is a mall. Super convenient if you need anything. Overall we had a great stay

The overall experience was just superb. we loved the stay and hotel facilities.it was excellent.

We stayed here for four nights and had a very pleasant and comfortable time. The hotel is located on top of the railway station and is a bit hard to find - go to Floor 3 where the JR office is, and you will see an entrance with the name Metropolitan Hotel at the eastern entrance. Take the lift to the sixth floor, There is also an entrance at street level on the east side. The hotel lobby has a grand piano playing itself and is eerily quiet - think lost in translation. ||||The room on the 10th floor was quite spacious, compared to another I saw on the 7th floor. A good range of toiletries, PJs etc, kettle and tea and coffee, and a fridge. A good central location with many restaurants in the station and surroundings. Most however don't have an english menu, or english speaking staff which made for interesting random selections. ||||Takasaki itself has little to offer of interest to tourists. A grid network of haphazard buildings some nice designs, some awful. The castle ruins, moat and gardens near the city hall are nice to walk around, and the views from the top of the city hall are reputed to be beautiful on a clear day.||||We did a day trip to Haruna Shrine in the mountains which was well worth the trip. The number 2 bus starts outside the railway station, on the west side. Enter the bus through the middle door, pay the fare on exit Y1100; change is available from the machine. You can't miss the stop in Haruna village. Enjoy.

We stayed two nights at this hotel in a twin room. Overall a very good stay as parking is convenient, staff is friendly and the room was spacious and well laid out with enough shelves and hangers. No outside noise from the trains was heard in the room. There was a safe in the room, but we hardly use them as Japan is a very honest country.||Breakfast at a fee and had a nice spread including yoghurt and a variety of fresh food.||Would certainly stay here again.

Stayed 3 nights solo. Room was adequate, typical size for Japan, fine for 1 person and tight for 2. Clean, modern and efficiently functioning hotel with staff speaking English. The hotel is very easy to find from the train platform exit, just look to your right when exiting the gates and follow the signs to the lift, 6th floor. The "town"of Takasaki is based about 1 block either side of the station, there is very little to do as such but if you are looking for a base for day hikes in the area it is ideal and worked well for me. Recommend staying here

Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki is located right next to a major train station, and well connected via an adjacent shopping mall. Access through the mall is possible, but the main entrance is actually facing OPA Takasaki on the ground level. Lobby is on level 6.||I spent 2 weeks in Japan recently, and my stay in Hotel Metropolitan Takasaki has to be one of my most memorable in the world ever! My room is specially decorated with steam locomotive wallpaper, and also comes with a whopping large 60” Sharp LCD TV, and another 43” Sony Bravia TV for projection of steam locomotive train, which relatively made the room looks rather small. The room itself was also supplemented with rail-theme furniture, and offers a great view to the rail activities underneath through the room window. I truly enjoyed sipping beer by the window and appreciating the madding crowds transiting through Takasaki station. And later in the evening, as I pulled down the blind, it gave me an impression as if staying inside a luxury train room, minus all those unnecessary vibrations caused by railway tracks. Even though Takasaki is a Shinkansen station and the hotel is just next to it, we were not troubled by the noise. In my opinion, this room, retrofitted in Oct 2016, can be merited as an attraction in Takasaki on its own, and a stay inside is genuinely a dream comes true for any rail fanatics! Truly, even if the room ain't big in size, but kudos to the hotel's creativity, they really made this room appears majestic.

No frills hotel for a quick overnight on your way to the mountains. Everything you need is there, plus very comfortable beds and super convenient access to the JR Station.
