This hotel was really cool! Right next to the station but was very quiet! Also lived that you can lock your bags up/utilize a locker to store bags while waiting for check in so you can explore Nara worry free! Staff was very nice and the restaurant in the hotel was a great experience!!

Very tiny room, 2 twin beds were together, 1 inch thick mattress-hurt my back. Super small bathroom. Not worth the money. Location was only good thing.

The hotel and facilities are not updated. No USB charger or international adapter in my room. I was using my own power bank to charge my mobile. Staff was helpful and polite if you have enquiries. The exhaust fan was not working in my bathroom. The mirror and everything were wet and sweaty. I did not notice that after I showered and it was late night, so I did not contact staff till I checked out. Nothing wrong with their staff and service, but they definitely need to upgrade their hardware and get the rooms renovated. I was surprised when they handed me a silver key with key ring while checking in, but not a keycard.

Old fashioned hotel with easy access to JR station. Large room and fast check in and Checkout process. Neither the public bath (tiny and uncomfortable changing room), nor the breakfast (average food at a unsuiting banquet hall) met our expectation on new year's day. No VIP access perks were given.

Disliked: Amenities
At a prime location, right next to Nara Station, the property is extremely convenient, and well maintained. It however is very dated, telling from the room design (back decades ago) to the onsen facilities (very small in size, relative to the numbers of room of the property). It definitely requires an uplifting to match demands of travellers nowadays.
