The walls seem very thin. The room below me was talking well into the night. I had to sleep with the TV on to drown out the noise. Other than that, everything was good

We loved our stay at your Ryokan. Thank you for storing my son’s luggage a few days in advance - it was so helpful. You chose an excellent architect for the room design and renovation. Thanks for your warm hospitality.

This ryokan is very charming and also very close to the tourist areas, but in the narrow side streets so it is quite quiet. I really enjoyed this place. I strongly recommend!

Stayed 1 night at Nara Ryokan. Generally we had a good time but there were a few issues that took away from the experience slightly (hence 4 stars instead of 5). Pros were: - Private onsen was really lovely after a long day of walking - Room itself was quite spacious and 'felt' like a real Ryokan (although it's more of an approximation of a Ryokan than a real one) - Beds were large and mattresses relatively comfortable Cons: - Maybe this is a normal feature of a Ryokan, but there were no curtains or way of reducing the light in the morning. Did not sleep well as a consequence - Staff could have been more helpful. Waited 10 minutes at reception for assistance before a staff member finally showed up.

Lovely quiet ryokan with onsen

Our stay at Nara Ryokan was perfect - very lovely quiet stay and beautiful rooms, and an amazing onsen/public bath. It wasn't listed for the hotel, but you are able to reserve a "family time" for the onsen use where I was able to privately share the onsen together with my husband and our friends with tattoos were also able to utilize for their own private time, which was a great experience, particularly with the provided robes and slippers. The hotel is about a 10min walk away from the main station, and just around the corner from a lovely park with a nearby Starbucks and small park where the deer freely hangout and roam around. A truly lovely place to stay, would definitely stay here again!

Great Ryokan, poor staff.

Was initially going to leave a worse review after a terrible interaction with the woman on the front desk after she put use in a basic room after we paid for deluxe, then refused to move us. However the charm of the Ryokan itself, the great onsen and the free massage chairs somewhat made up for the rude service when checking in.

This ryokan is close to Nara Koen where deers are and 30mins walk to Daibutsu. The room was just like a joke. It remains me uni student flats in Showa, small 4 tatami rooms and futon. In Japanese, futons need to be folded down into three and stored in the cupboard called Oshiire but the futon was placed by the window just like a bed. I was quite uncomfortable with this and folded it down to lean against that just like a sofa. The wall is paper thin as I was annoyed by next door guests who were chatting till 11pm. The bath was not real onsen. Despite it got negative comments, I enjoyed the big bathtub as it was hot and I could stretch myself. But sadly, a bit yuaka was flotiong on water surface. Overall, it was a good, rather funny experience. I guess this ryokan is for budget travelers.
