This is a very excellent Hotel, with the most convenient location of any hotel that I have experienced in Japan, just one short block from the Jr Nara train station. From the train station, buses can take you anywhere that you would want to go in the Nara area, and to me, the Nora area is the best and most important sightseeing in Japan. The breakfast is excellent, as are the rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The staff spoke almost no English, but if you have a little Japanese, and are relaxed, they can use translator machines to fully communicate, so there was no problem.

It was again an impressive, comfortable and very well taken care of stay. Like my previous review about this place, everything was perfect, the spa, the breakfast, the staff who are always there and quite flexible to our needs.( I didn't have one night booking as I was travelling elsewhere and they agreed to keep my two huge luggage with them for free). Honestly, I would stay there again. :)

Well as this was my second stay, I liked everything, except for some small technicalities in the new room, where the knob of the bed light wasn't as sturdy as in the previous room, this is something extremely insignificant when compared to a great time I had in the place.

Shower pressure amazing. Great breakfast included if you’re not vegetarian. Tv set up is great for cosy watching in bed. Very easy location and soundproofed really well.

Not enough vegetarian/vegan options at breakfast

The breakfast, the ambience in general, the spa, the staff is super helpful and always ready to help, the rooms were cleaned everyday, and everything was perfect for the price paid. It felt at home at the place. The location is super helpful too.

There is nothing I didn't like, sorry.

One of the best deals you can get in Nara -- low priced room with free breakfast buffet and sauna. And the room, if you're used to the modern Japanese architectural scale (i.e. small size), is all you can ask for. Clean and cozy.

Very close to train station, walking distance to Nara park but you can also catch a bus. Nice small Onsen.

Breakfast was very disappointing. No western option and nothing for the kids to eat. We went to the nearest supermarket and brought some stag for eating

The rooms have sizable space and are very clean. We really love the complimentary japanese breakfast.

Very near to JR station, but this station is a bit far from main attractions, especially those near Nara Park.

Everything's good, maybe just bathroom it's a little small but I'm a big person too so, it's not a big deal
