Hotel were very modern, exactly like the pictures, dont expect too much from the breakfast but it was worth the view and still a very decent meal. There were washer+dryer combo which automatically dispense detergent. Water dispenser were available downstairs with glass jug for you to refill. Room and toilet were very clean and huge, beds were comfortable, more than ample space to open your luggages.

Humidifier that you could borrow from the lobby was the steamer type, and in use with the hairdryer for a while, it managed to trip the power. The smart TV with Netflix and Youtube, language was also in Japanese and did not allow switching to other language as it was locked, though nothing a translation app cant fix. Wished there's was more than 2 washing machine as each cycle took two hours and there's always a queue with lots of people trying to wash, and also other guest leaving their clothes in and not taking it out. Very close to Kintetsu station but it's a very very gentle upslope to the hotel, before a final short gradient. Though that means heading to the JR from the hotel was a breeze as it was all downslope.

Our room was beautiful and bright and looked over a park. (Sadly the pagoda in our view was covered by a huge shed due to a multi year restoration project). The room was spotless and stylish with a couch and a large stone coffee table. The bathroom was a good size. Minor quibbles: if you expect to sleep in bring an eye mask. The large windows let in a lot of light in the morning, even with the shutters closed. Breakfast is not a buffet which is great as it is not wasteful. But don’t expect a feast. Portions are very measured. You can eat it on a lovely terrace however. Would not recommend using the washing machines unless you want to spend hours of your time waiting for the dryer to dry your clothes. Commercial laundromats have more powerful machines. Otherwise this is an excellent boutique hotel with lovely staff and a restful ambience.

The hotel had a beautiful modern design with a calm, peaceful atmosphere. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the location was perfect—very close to Nara Park and all the main attractions. The first staff member who welcomed us was super friendly and helpful. I also loved the lounge and café area—it was dreamy and a lovely place to relax.

There was no closet in the room. One of the staff members was a little unfriendly, and it took quite a long time to find a taxi from the hotel. Also, breakfast must be booked in advance even for hotel guests, which was unusual and inconvenient. The coffee was served from a vending-style machine instead of being freshly brewed, and it was quite pricey.

I was a bit nervous after booking, as some of the other reviews weren’t great, but we LOVED this hotel. It sits on the edge of Nara Park, an easy ten minute walk from the train Station, and was just super charming. We’d reserved a park view room, and were on the fourth floor, in a lovely corner room overlooking the pond. Minimalistic design, sparkling clean. SUPER excellent shower, nice toiletries. Beds were cozy and comfy, fit an adult and an elementary school kid easily. I adored the Japanese breakfast, but like others have noted, it’s not a standard breakfast for most Westerners. My husband got the Western breakfast, which was gorgeous, but not “traditional” Western food. We were lucky enough to be there for cherry blossoms, and had our breakfast outside on the patio, which was magical. I wished I could have the Japanese breakfast every morning of our whole trip.

This hotel surprised me in the best ways. Only negative was 10am checkout. I’d have loved to have been a bit more leisurely with breakfast.

The hotel is newly renovated, with great design and the common areas are really nice. The room was very nice, super comfortable bed and the bathroom also had a really spacious shower “onsen style”. From the terrace you can see the park and the deers, so it feels very relaxing. Location is really strategic, walking distance from the metro station and the main temples.

Breakfast was really good but western breakfast was not available and they were not flexible in accommodating my request of switching certain elements of the set. I understand and support not doing a full cleaning everyday to save energy and water, but I do not understand why they cannot come and tidy up the room, make up the bed, change the glasses and so on. they also provide you with new towels every day and these seems less environmental friendly than a general tidy up.

I had the basement room, Due to its larger space. But i would recommend a room with a window so you can watch the sunrise and deers at the background if you are lucky enough, The room design and vibe is amazing. Its about 15-20min walk from the metro station, and not far off a market street.

I think the only downside i had with this place is the limited breakfast menu, You are limited to two options either Japanese or Western style breakfast. While they taste and look amazing. Having more options Would be amazing especially for Muslim visitors who have strict dietary restrictions.

The location was great. All the places we wanted to go were in a walking distance (with an electric -scooter type- wheelchair so we needed a bit of push to go up the hill). The hotel's cafe has a beautiful open view to the park where we sighted deers every now and then. The contemporary architecture, interior design, arts and crafts are all interesting. Coin laundry facility was useful.

The way disable access was located and we needed an assistance to open the door to get in the building. The breakfast menu was limited. We stayed for 3 nights and chose western breakfast so ended up with an exactly the same plate dish every morning. Although most staff were helpful and we're so thankful for their assistance, unfortunately not all staff were friendly nor attentive... No coffee provided in the room (we travel with our own so not a problem).

The hotel has the sleek, minimalist aesthetic I expected it to, going by the pictures. It was beautifully maintained, the room larger than I expected, though I'd have been happy with a cupboard or at least a drawer to put my clothes into. The staff was extremely pleasant and breakfast a visual and gustatory delight. Devouring it out on the sunny terrace on a cold morning was a special bonus. The location was perfect...away from downtown Nara's maddening crowd and within easy walking distance of the major sights. A suggestion: the staff could accompany the guest to the room initially to show him/her what's where. It would orientate the guest and serve as a gracious gesture of hospitality. Overall, my brief stay was thoroughly enjoyable. A warm thanks to the hotel staff!

Less rigidity. For instance, telling the breakfasting guest that the terrace would be closed at 10 am sharp! Where's the difficulty in keeping the terrace open to the guest a little longer? But Japan's hotels seen to be bound down by all sorts of rules.

Perfect location, couple minutes walk to the main area of shops and restaurants but also a terrace on the park where you can enjoy a coffee with views of deer! Best shower we had in Japan- very powerful, comfortable beds and nice dark room at night. Oh and best green tea in the room I’ve ever had!!

Maybe I misunderstood but I didn’t realise the hotel lobby was also a public cafe, so it’s very busy there all the time. The terrace is not for hotel guests only but anyone can come have a coffee, which is a shame as then there is nowhere to sit a relax for a while with a book.

Wonderful location, so close to the most common tourist attractions, but also nearby lots of cute little streets and great restaurants. The atmosphere was calm, everything was clean, and the staff were 10/10 so wonderful! They truly went above and beyond for us while we were there, and they made the stay even better. The cafe was lovely as well, and we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and watch the deer graze right next to us. Overall a very serene and calm experience.

If there’s just one small thing I would’ve wanted, it would be an iron and ironing board by the washing machines. Other Share Hotels have them, so I was surprised this one didn’t have one. However, I also didn’t ask the staff, and maybe they would’ve been able to get me one if I had. It wasn’t a dire situation, so it was ok.
