Quality Hostel K's House Takayama

The hostel is near the train and bus station and has private rooms and dormitories. There's a communal kitchen and lounge and if you stay for three or more nights you may use the washing machine for free. The staff is lovely and very helpful. My private room was very clean and spacious. Apart from the bed there was only a shelf, a small table and a chair would have been nice.

We stayed in a triple with a private bath. Towels and bedding were provided. The location is great, close to the bus/train station and within walking distance to the sites. The staff was super kind and helpful and the place has a community/traveler vibe. There is a shared living room, dining room and kitchen where you can have a cup of tea and chat with others. I traveled with my kids and felt safe and welcome.

The people here are the main draw, from staff to fellow hostel users. The small rooms mean low prices and so a lot of tourists from all around the world, all using the lounge. Everyone's super friendly and it's so easy to strike up conversation with other tourists, plus share recommendations. It's really thanks to the fact that the lounge and dining areas are comfortable spaces for people to eat and hang out. I talked to about 10 fellow hostel guests and made 3 friends!

My wife and I stayed here in a private double room from the 05/11/2019 to the 07/11/2019. The location is excellent, the train station only takes a few minutes to walk to and it close to restaurants and shops.|It has a shared lounge area, kitchen with two fridges and two ovens. The place was quite clean and the staff are really friendly. |Our room was clean and was bigger than most rooms we have stayed at while in Japan. It was great to spread our clothes out. The room had 4 hangers for clothes. The bathroom is small and you have to step up, to walk into the bathroom, I almost fell over a couple of times trying to enter the bathroom during the night. The shower pressure is good. There is no tv in your room here.|The beds are hard (I didn't have a problem with) and the pillows are way to soft. The pillows don't support your neck and caused me a few problems trying to sleep. This place should invest in some firm pillows. Overall, considering the price, the room space, friendly staff and location, it is a very good place to stay.

I was here 4 nights around the autumn festival, in a single room with ensuite bathroom. The location is only 5 minutes from the train station & bus terminal. (I caught the bus from Tokyo, rather than the train – the travel time is about the same but there are no transfers, and it is way cheaper.)||||The information provided for travellers was practical and useful eg the hostel map has a wide variety of recommended restaurants marked on it, and I used it to pick places to eat, including Hida beef (the local delicacy). The common area and kitchen were very well equipped and everything was well thought through. Other comments: it is shoes off/slippers on; Wi-Fi was good and no issues; staff were very pleasant and helpful and no issues with English language.

Wonderful hostel, very comfy and clean. The kitchen is quite big and very well equipped, even with a couple of washing machines and dryers. The best is the personnel, who are delightful and really helpful. They will do their best to fulfill your needs, being making a reservation or helping you fill out the takkyubin papers. It has been a pleasure to stay there while in Takayama for exploring the region.

This was a top tier hostel to stay at. And so close to the festival that was taking place at the time. The front staff was very helpful, and they helped me plan other side trips and such. It was great to talk to the other people who were staying in the cozy common spaces and the kitchen. I made a lot of new friends!

Great value and location. I have stayed here twice. Small but clean and practical rooms.
