Rooms are small, as with most rooms in Japan, but clean and comfortable. Great location - just a 5 minute walk to the national park and right in the centre of the town. Surrounded by restaurants and shops. Solo female traveller & felt very safe here.

The room are super small. It is so small that there is no room for suitcase. But other from that, the faculty is excellent. Restaurants atound the jotel is good, but the hotel's own restaurant is excellent, especially the breakfast. The crossiants are must try item.

This was a great hotel in the great area of Nara where you can walk downstairs for food and shopping. The park is only a few minutes away. The property was very clean and luxurious. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite. We had a great time in this hotel. Thank you!

I spent 7 days at this hotel and really enjoyed it. I'd previously read about the rooms being small, so I knew what to expect (and that didn't bother me). Everything else worked perfectly: shower, wifi, AC. The minibars and microwaves are very convenient. Super clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay again.

I discovered they had humidifiers which makes the dry cold winter a little easier. Just ask. Also, the heating system was a bit confusing but heres my take: leave it off at night or else you're going to be hot. Turn it on during the day. The staff and cleanliness are top notch. Bring an HDMI cable, or go buy one, and watch movies from your laptop. A side benefit of the himidifier is that it doubles as an air purifier.
