Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers small yet comfortable rooms with a slightly old-fashioned charm and a lovely view of Mt. Rooms are well-equipped with great bathrooms, good beds, and spacious living areas for a cozy stay. The price may not match the value received.
The hotel offers spacious, nice, and comfortable rooms that are well-maintained overall, although the decor lacks harmony. The service is professional, friendly right from arrival, and provides top-notch assistance. The location is perfect for exploring the park and viewing Nara temples, with amenities. The dining experience is impressive with high-quality ingredients and impeccable presentation, housed in an elegant old-style room. The facilities are great, catering to various needs.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, decorated with traditional touches and a lovely tea service set. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist despite any language barriers. The location was excellent, allowing easy access to famous sightseeing spots. The dining experience was impressive, although with slightly limited choices at times.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms definitely need an urgent update, but I had a comfortable stay. The shuttle driver at the train station was super helpful. The hotel boasts some nice old features like the fireplace and those wonderful radiators, and it's been visited by celebrities, famous politicians, and royalty from yesteryear.
The hotel was big by Japanese standards, featuring a lovely traditional design with a full tea service set and tatami mat room. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The location was close to Nara's tourist attractions but a bit of a hike from the station. The dining was impressive with high-quality ingredients. The facilities were well-maintained and delightful.
