Staying in nara
We stay at this hotel every time we visit Nara, which is often. This time we stayed 4 different times and left the luggage with the hotel in between. The staff are all very kind and helpful. The room is a bit small, but comfortable, We like Public Bath, and love their breakfast with Nara foods. My husband is a Vegan, and he is able to find enough to eat at this hotel. It is very convenient next to JR Nara station and excellent super market next.

The service was great and the welcome lounge was a great. The front desk was helpful both during check in and check out. We also tried the breakfast buffet and enjoyed the variety of yummy food and drinks. Our bathroom had mold in it, on the walls, the light fixtures, the door. That was the only downfall for us.

Great place with great staff!
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 room was spacious, with comfortable sitting chairs for reading. My young adult son and I had two separate rooms and we were each very satisfied. We took a bus to Nara Park, with its temples, shrines and museums and later walked back to the hotel, with a couple of stops along the way. The breakfast buffet had a very wide variety of Japanese and Western foods. I think that we received the buffet as an Expedia reward of some kind.

Amazingly convenient, just steps from the JR Nara Station. Walking distance to Nara Park, or catch a local bus right outside to the major sightseeing destinations in Nara. Nespresso pods were a nice touch, onsen on the 6th floor was also spacious and relaxing. Highly recommend staying there for your trip to Nara.
