This hotel has an amazing location—just step outside and you might spot deer wandering nearby, which was such a unique and lovely experience. The surrounding area is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. The hotel itself is well-equipped, with clean and modern facilities throughout.

While the overall environment of the hotel is very pleasant, the female dormitory has a few drawbacks. Each bed doesn’t have curtains, so there’s little privacy, and when the lights are turned off for sleeping, it can be disruptive for those with different schedules. The room itself is quite small—once suitcases are open, there’s barely any space to move around. Also, the dormitory is next to an open terrace, so conversations from outside can sometimes be heard and may disturb rest.

The older gentleman who works in the evening is very amiable. The dorm bed space feels larger and nicer after having stayed in many other real capsule type hotels. This place is kept very clean, the dorm room especially. There is a lounge area for cooking, etc, I didn’t use it except to have a coffee and a snack. Something of interest is that classical music is played in the entrance lobby, which I liked. Also the location was super for my needs, so close to the historical sites I needed to see.

The location is nice. Close to many of the big sightsee spots in Nara. Clean

The curtains don’t block out light well. And the light in the capsule is so bright light gets out and everyone in the room can see it.

Very nice staff, clean, close to restaurants and shopping near by. A short walk to public transportation, but there is a lot to do within walking distance.

Everything was very clean, there was just a lot of mold on the ceiling of the shower room. The ceiling is very high, for the height and size I think is very difficult to get a ladder inside and maneuver.

Great little spot. So close to everything like the deer park and the Mochi pounding shop. Good pressure showers on 4th floor. Female shower room is huge. Good room size and storage space. Staff are the front desk are lovely and very welcoming

Not the hotels fault but there was one old lady that woke up at 5:30 every morning and made so much noise in the kitchen. We were right beside the kitchen and the walls are paper thin so ear plugs were essential

very kind staff. I have lived in many cities in the Kansai region, and they are very kind and helpful. English is always available there so no worries. The hotel is located at the heart of the Nara city, especially the Nara park, Nara machi, and Sarusawa-ike Pond. I can easily walk to each tourism attraction without using any buses or trains. If I have the chance to visit Nara again, I will definitely choose it again. Although some tourists may not spend a night in Nara, but I highly recommend you to spend a night here. The hotel quatily is definitely better than other cities in the Kansai region, given that you spent the same amount of money.

Nothing!

Location, location, location! We couldn't believe it when we saw where it was at the price they were asking. True, the room was small and plain, and there were only two bathrooms and toilets on our floor, but we could walk into the park in five minutes and to the station in ten...and from some rooms you could see the deer grazing in the park.

We paid for a small double, and that's what we got... a SMALL double. Not the best room we stayed at on our holiday, but it was exactly as advertised.

Great location in Nara, close to all amenities and Nara Park. The bathrooms and kitchen are clean and well-stocked.

The mattress in the mixed dorm was very thin and uncomfortable. The reception staff were a little unwelcoming, however they were accommodating in storing my luggage before check in and after check out, which I appreciated.

Great location, we had an enormous room with a very big bathroom. The bathroom had a bit of strange smell but I think it’s understandable for an old building especially for the price you’re paying. They have a small reception that closes in the night and receptionist were not the friendliest people but it was overall okay.

The location is fantastic, very close to the park, lots of food options and shops. The room was very large and the beds were comfy. The staff at the front desk were lovely. The amenities were lacking and the bathroom was very old. It’s also a bit of a walk from the train station.
