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.

This was a nice hotel in a great location with a good staff. It was nice that they had free movies in English on the TV. Be aware the room is really tight which may be problematic if you have a lot of luggage or may be a bit claustrophobic if you were planning to do any work.
