Historic Landmark, All the Comforts

This is a landmark historic hotel, dripping with stories of famous guests. It is grand, warm, welcoming, quiet, comfortable and convenient to Nara Park, Kintetsu Station and many temples. I stayed in the new side which feels very 1990s American hotel style. Roomy for Japan and with a nice balcony. The bar, tea room, sakura lounge and dining room were all comfortable and classy. This is a wonderful place to stay.

This was an amazing base for us in Nara, with 5 start service. Being able to rent e-bikes at the hotel and having the hotel be able to arrange a sightseeing taxi for us were just some of the perks. It is a small walk into town or the park, but all in all very centrally located. Some reviews mentioned road noise, so we stayed in the "new" section, but it is hard to imagine it being noisy anywhere. It is a very peaceful location.

We were told the privilege of VIP afternoon tea lounge access, and ended up paying for the cakes with an excessive price tag which was not even noticeably displayed for the customers. Felt like to be cheated, and VIPs supposed to have access to drinks and snacks provided in the room.
