Pros: Good value. Spacious rooms. Relatively large beds. Quiet area. Easy, ample parking. Hotel connected to a convenience store. Good free breakfast. Walking distance to Amaterasu train attraction.
Cons: A bit further away from Takachiho Gorge, about 5min drive. No view from hotel. Laundry was a bit expensive, had to buy detergent from the front desk separately from the laundry machine fee.

Sunday night saw a lack of dining establishments. However there is a Lawsons convenience store below the hotel. An older style hotel but clean and quiet and close to the gorge entrance with beautiful gardens surrounding.
Staff were very nice and breakfast was great.

The most wonderful place in Japan!
We travelled to Takachiho all the way from London. This hotel was so clean and had a wonderful view to Takachiho hills. Hotel staff were so helpful.
I love to visit Takachiho again and love to stay at Hotel grateful Takachiho.

Peaceful location on the edge of the town. No option for meals or drinks in the hotel, but there is a Family Mart shop 2 minutes walk away.

Nice accents specific to Takachiho - a giant fresco of Sarutahiko in the lobby, and local sweets and tea when checking in.
Very kind English-speaking staff.
The only complaint is the tea / coffee cups in the room are ridiculously small.
Overall, a bit pricier than a business hotel but I would definitely stay there again.
