I loved this hotel, yes it's dated no denying that but I had a huge room full size bath, the most incredible breakfasts. Staff were lovely especially the breakfast staff, so nice and helpful. The location is terrific 5 mins walk from Nara Station and 10 mins or less from Kintetsu station. They kept my luggage for me after checking out, couldn't be more helpful, I was genuinely sorry to leave here. Incredible value for money

Nothing really, yes it's outdated as far as decor goes but for the amount I paid for the room I'm happy for the decor to be a bit lacking, it was still clean

The hotel is very authentic. "The hotel has a charming vintage vibe, full of stories from years past. Our room, 'Fuju,' was spacious and incredibly comfortable. The staff were exceptional, and the location couldn't have been better—close to Nara Park and the station. While they didn't have washing machines on-site, there's a convenient facility just a 7-minute walk away. The onsen was a good experience to end your day with. Pluses, the hotel lobby has items for sale, good for last-minute suviners

In our room, 'Fuju,' there wasn't a private bathroom, so we had to use the common onsen. As someone who prefers privacy, I was initially disappointed. However, to my surprise, the onsen was empty, allowing me to enjoy a quick bath without any concerns about sharing the space with strangers.

I took a traditional room and it was worth it ! I just stayed one night but it was so fun to experience this kind of room 😊 The hotel is near the JR train station like 10min walk and about 15mim walk from the park 😊 It has a little shop with Shikamaro products, Nara’s cute mascot, and more ! It also has a restaurant, I couldn’t try it because I didn’t book it in advance (2 days before at least) 😅 but I could try the restaurant room for breakfast where you have to remove your shoes at the entrance 😆 The hotel lobby and restaurant have this kind of cosy atmosphere where you feel comfortable. The reception also helps to feel at ease, they’re very kind 😊 ありがとうございます！

Staff was really friendly and welcoming. Futons in the room was amazing. Free drinks and snacks in the evening. Onsen was perfect (I was alone in both of them). Breakfast was good.

That they dont have the half board options from the start. Just after you have booked they notify info about it, but you need to tell them 2days in adwans. I booked same day as i stayd, so no food for me :(

The atmosphere of this hotel was really warm and the restaurant really beautiful. The room was also very spacious. Staff couldnt speak English very well but we got by with a mix of broken English and my broken Japanese :D The staff was also super friendly and helpful. I wanted to have my luggage delivered to the airport in advance and they made it super simple.

Quite honestly the only downside was, Outdated rooms. The traditional feel is perfect, but the carpet and furniture are not in the best shape. If there was a good renovation I'd give it a 10/10.

Relaxing in an old fashion hotel. Great to have drink service at night. Nice staff. Great price offer at the booking.com.

Little bit hard to find, but it fit my needs for the budget and comfortable stay. Breakfast was good but felt pressure to leave from a staff.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were a decent size and clean. There is a private bath down in the basement and also a public bath which you can book which was really nice. My husband has tattoos so it was nice that we were able to use the private bath. The lobby was very welcoming and cosy. Location was ideal as it was only a short walk from Nara park and the deers :)

I cant think of anything that i didnt like in particular.

Friendly staff, great location, the bathroom is really big and nice and there is a lot of amenities! There is coffee, drinks, ice cream and snacks for guests in the lobby. Great price for all of these benefits.

Very close to the train and easy to get around Nara from the hotel. Room was large and comfortable, spotlessly clean. Staff were delightful and helpful. I booked the private bath and it was lovely and relaxing.

We stayed in the maisonette and it was perfect for a small group as it was spacious, was two storeys, and had a small kitchen. It’s charming and has loads of character. There was a cedar bath, which we loved, and a small onsen onsite.

If travelling in a group , be aware there is only one bathroom for both floors.
