+Great location in the immediate proximity of the deer park, holy sites and nature. The deer are pretty much right there, already on the way to the place. Nearby, there's a pond where turtles chill and swim around in. Train station within a fairly easy walking distance. Also, shopping, restaurants and convenience stores are "right there". +Comfortable room. +Helpful staff (although there are linguistical challenges beyond Japanese).

-The sign of the place is small and a bit difficult to see. You are more likely to find the place with the help of finding the restaurant next to it, first. Remark (neutral): Turns out there's basically no staff present, unless you come by the person doing the cleaning. She was cool and helpful. You will get codes to enter the building and your room. You, pretty much, cannot enter your room until the check in time. If you must get in earlier, you will have to deal with the "head office", which is supposed to be somewhere near the train station. (or call)

As we approached the hotel, we were greeted by deer at the pond. The room was spacious and there was plenty of bed space for my family In the morning when we ventured off to Nara park, another deer was having his breakfast just outside the door.

The only thing I think they could have done better, as a self-checkin hotel, would be to include a photo of the building entrance. We got there a little late and could have used a little more direction about which part of the building was the entrance for the hotel. Once we got inside everything was lovely.

We extreamly love this place because of the location is closed to Nara Park ane the main activities we can do in Nara. Street for shopping and restaurant is also near by. Moreover, we got utmost supports from the owner. We have forgotten our clothes and the owner helped us to send it back by post. We are truely appreciated the service minded and helpfulness from the owner very much. The cleanliness of the room are very tidy and bif enough for oir group with 4 people. We will absolutely book at this place again when we come back to Nara. We do really like this place. Thank you very much for all the convinient and comforted stay. Wilairat

Nothing to complain at all.

Comfortable and spacious room for the price. Good location. No breakfast at the hotel, but plenty of options nearby.

Absence of a staffdd hotel reception is awkward. You wil need good internet access on your phone to complete the on-line check-in. I suppose the money saved here enables the good room rate.

The location is next to the park and indeed with views of the temple from the living area. the tv could connect to my Netflix which was great for entertaining the kids. the beds were comfortable, not the soft kind with little support. the room was carpeted and aircon worked well. it was within walking distance to the tourist centre which had a minimart which is not opened 24by7. Food street and options are nearby within walking distance, Diaso there is big and close by, along the food street. The place is clean and the carpeted floors are nice. Good sized room with space for luggage and wardrobe to hang clothing. Nearby parking on weekday came up to 1300 yen per day. However on weekends, it was expensive, double the price. It is almost the cheapest available within walking distance.

no washing machine and nearby laundrymat.

Basically it's like a nice Airbnb. We liked the spacious, bright and clean room, the location was fantastic, close to the sights and in a silent neighborhood. It was easy and convenient to check-in with the PIN codes. We got many towels. We travelled with our 10-month-old baby, it was absolutely safe for her (except for one window). There were bathrobes and toothbrushes (many), we haven't use them. Soap, shampoo and conditioner was provided. Hint: Aka Tombo is a fantastic breakfast place nearby.

There was no safety lock on the window next to the bed, so we moved the bed away from the window. Windows are not transparent, maybe because of the close buildings.

The location was perfect and the contactless entry was nice. We got there early and contacted them via the visitor center around the corner. They said they just finished cleaning our room so we were able to check in early and drop our bags off before visiting Nara. The shower was also very nice.

The location is fabulous. Practically in Nara park. And so close to Naramachi, the neighborhood just south of Sarusawa Pond where there are many quaint restaurants that serve great food, not to mention the narrow streets with traditional houses that are a delight to explore. The check-in instructions were easy to follow.

A place to hang towels in the bathroom would be nice.

The location was superb, basically close to everything. Deers were just grazing at the gate in the morning. Room was also spacious and clean.

The facility was auto-checkin, so provide no luggage storage service on site. Have to go to their office, which is 1km away for storage.

The room is very spacious and all basic necessities were provided for. Check-in is a breeze even in the absence of personnel. Hotel is an unmanned staff btw. Window has the view of the temple.

Maybe the walls are not that thick because we were asked by our neighbor traveller to keep it down. Our bad as well. Also there is no breakfast served and it's quite new to us that hotels in Japan jut offer quite late check-in and quite early check-out. (3pm check-in and 10am check-out)
