The location is excellent — right next to the entrance of Nara Park and overlooking a small pond. I also really liked the onsen, which was well-equipped with various products like shower gel and creams. The room was quite spacious, which is not very common for hotels in Japan. The property also has a shared common area with free coffee and tea. The absolute highlight was the small gift for our child, which included a cute toothbrush and slippers.

The only small downside was the breakfast — it was delivered to the room in a paper box and didn’t feel as fresh.

This is a charming hotel next to a large pond and within minutes of shopping and restaurants. The staff were extremely helpful, polite and kind. Room was impeccable, the most spacious room I have stayed in Japan. There is a small but very comfortable and clean onsen on site. There is a Starbucks next to the hotel that opens at 8. Within 10 minutes of Nara park and the deer and 15 minutes of Todaiji temple. Also 15 minutes straight walk to JR train station and 7 min to kintetso Nara station, very convenient. If I am back in Nara, this is the hotel I would go to.

Nothing. FYI, they don't have breakfast buffet but there's a Starbucks attached and so many eateries within a few minutes of the hotel.

Breakfast was a bento delivered to my room. I was disappointed because I thought there would be a buffet. The bento was tasty, but the value was certainly not what I paid for the breakfast.

The rooms are very nice, clean and modern. However, the sliding screens in front of the window are covered with Japanese paper, which does not block thee sunlight. So when the sun rose around 5 AM, my room was full of sunlight. I think the hotel should add sunlight blocking curtains.

The location is just perfect - just a few minutes walk to Nara Park, lovely pond in the front and lots of food options nearby. The rooms were pretty and comfortable. Only downside is the lack of blackout curtains or blinds so it gets very bright in the room very early which is not ideal when travelling with kids.

Right on the edge of the park, clean, comfortable, huge rooms. I left some stuff in my room and when I called from my next hotel a staff member offered to drive to Osaka with it. Amazingly helpful.

The premium location next to the pond. Yes, you do meet deer in front of the hotel if you are lucky 😉 Everything is nice and neat, filled with local artworks.

The rice paper blind doesn't block the sunlight too much. Though it's not a bad idea to wake up early, have a walk around the pond with the very famous rice cake as breakfast.

Super good location. Beautiful Japanese style interior. Friendly staffs. Very good services. Big balcony with nice view. Starbucks. Great big bath.

No closet & drawers for clothes. We couldn’t unpack our suitcases.

Great location. Close to the train station, shopping area and Nara park. Room is very spacious and clean. Staff at the front desk were very helpful.

Strange smell in the hallway

Great location, close to all the sights and several shopping districts. About a 10 minute walk from the train station. Room was comfortable and spacious!

Perfect hotel for visiting Nara. It has a small hot spring but is very well maintained. The position was very good and the service was very nice.
