This hotel was really cool! Right next to the station but was very quiet! Also lived that you can lock your bags up/utilize a locker to store bags while waiting for check in so you can explore Nara worry free! Staff was very nice and the restaurant in the hotel was a great experience!!

Very tiny room, 2 twin beds were together, 1 inch thick mattress-hurt my back. Super small bathroom. Not worth the money. Location was only good thing.

The hotel may be somewhat antiquated, but the price is reasonable for our group of three. The staff is accommodating and friendly, and the hotel's private hot tub is a significant advantage.

Old fashioned hotel with easy access to JR station. Large room and fast check in and Checkout process. Neither the public bath (tiny and uncomfortable changing room), nor the breakfast (average food at a unsuiting banquet hall) met our expectation on new year's day. No VIP access perks were given.

Peaceful. Hugh spacious hotel. Free wine tasting was unique and have not seen anywhere before.

6/10

At a prime location, right next to Nara Station, the property is extremely convenient, and well maintained. It however is very dated, telling from the room design (back decades ago) to the onsen facilities (very small in size, relative to the numbers of room of the property). It definitely requires an uplifting to match demands of travellers nowadays.

Excellent service, nice room. Lounge was a bonus. Water temperature in the shower constantly fluctuated, this was not the best.

The staff was amazing upon entering the lobby. They were helpful in finding certain places that my friends wanted to go to. Location of the hotel is great as it is connected to the train station to help you get to where you want/need to go. The room was very nice and cozy. It has been a while since I've used an actual metal key for a hotel stay, but it was nice! The amenities that the hotel offered were great too! I would love to stay here when I'm back in Nara!

The hotel and facilities are not updated. No USB charger or international adapter in my room. I was using my own power bank to charge my mobile. Staff was helpful and polite if you have enquiries. The exhaust fan was not working in my bathroom. The mirror and everything were wet and sweaty. I did not notice that after I showered and it was late night, so I did not contact staff till I checked out. Nothing wrong with their staff and service, but they definitely need to upgrade their hardware and get the rooms renovated. I was surprised when they handed me a silver key with key ring while checking in, but not a keycard.
