A somewhat chaotic and dated hotel by the train station. The rooms are quite small, even by Japanese standards. Definitely feels dated overall. The staff was very nice and very helpful, which definitely makes the experience a lot better. Breakfast was good, although maybe a tad expensive.

The hotel was beautiful and just outside the entrance to the train station. It was a fun fairly short walk to the park to see the Sika deer and the temples. Lots of shopping on the way up and back and so many restaurants. Rooms were clean and the beds had padding. The pillows were not the buckwheat pillows so it was very comfortable.

Ok for just staying overnight

The hotel is very old, even though its lobby looked like a palace! But they still use real key to access to my room (not the modern room key card with sensors) which was what I had when I was little (like 30 years ago when I travelled abroad) which , surprised me a bit, lol, maybe it is designed to stay that way since Nara is also an old city? I wondered. Inside the room was clean though, but all facilities looked outdated such as bathtub, faucet sink, ect but if you are like me who doesn’t need fancy hotels then it works fine! I had to ride limousine bus to Itami airport from JR Nara station to fly back to Haneda the next day after visiting Nara Park, so it was convenient!
