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 service was excellent. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and professional. The helpful shuttle driver even rang the next hotel for us to request a non-smoking room. I felt well taken care of during my stay.
Location

The hotel's location leaves a little to be desired, as it's very close to Nara's tourist attractions but a solid hike from the station and town center. Despite this, it was convenient from town as well as the park where the historic sights are located. The nostalgic feel reminded me of Guest Houses I stayed in as a kid in Australia.

The dining options were fairly limited in quantity, but the food was good. I had to choose between a 'set' American breakfast or a 'set' Japanese breakfast, and both were decent. They could consider adding more variety to the menu.

The facilities were adequate, nothing too extraordinary but functional. It would be great to see some improvements or additions to enhance the overall guest experience.
