This hotel offered great value for money, staying true to the typical budget-friendly standards of Japanese hotels in this category. The shower was excellent, and the free public bath is a unique touch for those who enjoy the experience of bathing in the company of strangers — a true Japanese tradition. The hotel also offered free luggage storage, which was convenient during my stay.

While the hotel is close to the train station, I expected it to be closer to Nara Park. The room was very small, even by Japanese standards, and I couldn’t even fully open a backpack on the floor. Additionally, the staff wasn’t Japanese, and while they were nice, you could tell there was a difference in the level of service, which wasn’t quite on par with the hospitality I’ve received at other hotels in Japan.

The hotel is located within walking distance from both the train station and the Nara Park and there are plenty of restaurants in the area. Our room was lovely and clean, not bigger than other rooms we had in Japan but much better organized, so space wasn't a problem at all and we had a really comfortable stay. We had a nice view on the main street but it was quiet. We didn't use it but there was also a public bath for guests. The staff was helpful and spoke good english, they kindly kept our luggage for a few hours since we arrived earlier than check in time.

Very clean. Lovely linen and pillows. Lots of extra supplies ,toothbrush,hair shampoo etc. Location was perfect,close to two stations and plenty of bus routes. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The rooms were small but for the price one could not complain. We stored our luggage underneath the beds. The rate is so reasonable that if someone needed more space and you were two people, it is cheap enough to pay for an extra room.

I booked the 1-person room and I am a small individual with just a compact luggage and a day bag. The room was perfect for my size. Just the right space and I thought the room was well thought of, to save space and be functional. I really liked that there is a small bath tub, together in a room with a toilet. Special mention to the staff who accommodated me when I made a mistake on setting up the tablet for the TV even when it was already late.

The mattress is on the firm side and can be considered hard. I did notice that this kind of mattress is almost at all the places I booked in Japan. Requesting extra pillows, cushion or duvet could help with those who are not used to this kind of mattress but it's not that bad for me.

Wisteria is a lovely hotel with really nice, lovely and respectful staff. Rooms are very comfy, so are the beds and everything inside. I love their Onsen bath, so relaxing. They have a vending machine if you feel thirsty at any time and there is a laundry and dryers machines that was very handy. I love it. It was close to all the main venues in Nara.

Possibility to store luggage before check-in. Rooms were big and spacious. There is a little lovely onsen room next to the lobby, the hot pool felt amazing after whole day out.

The road from the station to the hotel is not in great condition so we struggled with our suitcases that had wheels.

Hotel is in a perfect location between JR station and kintetsu station. Walking distance to the main tourist locations and main hiking trails. The staff is very nice and the room was clean and comfortable. There’s a shared bath with hot springs free to use. Also a laundry room (very cheap).

Air con was directly over the bed :\ but I understand it’s just a matter of being used to it.

Just everything you can expect from a small business hotel. The location is boring but convenient, only 5 minutes walk from JR Nara station and 10 minutes walk from Kintetsu Nara station where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. The bus stop to Nara Park is only about 30 metres away making this hotel a good base to explore Nara from.

The reception area can do with an extra lounge so that a large group staying in the hotel to gather and organise.

I can walk to the hotel from the Nara Station. And I also walked to the Nara Park, the temples and the shopping street. The bed is super comfortable. I love that there a big mirror in the room (so I can make up in the morning). The staff is polite and friendly, they even warm up my food for me.

Good location for Nara park and have public bath (internal onsen). Easy to leave luggages there before and after stay, very flexible
