Bathroom too small.

The main room was good. Great views and plenty of space to relax. The letdown was the bathroom. It was tiny with very dated fittings and nowhere to put toiletries. It was also at a higher level meaning a really big step down into the main room which was potentially a safety risk.

Only thing nearby (still 14 min away) worthwhile for a tourist is Kashihara Jingu shrine. The hotel itself is beautiful. Kashihara seems like a great place to live though!

This place is a perfect place to stay in the area. Right next to the train station, the staff is extremely nice, the hotel is nice and has everything you need. There is even an Onsen downstairs. Daiso is 5 minutes away. My daughter cut her hair about 2 minutes away. Coco Restaurant is 5 minutes away. ( We had 3 meals here. LOL)

Best breakfast in Japan

My son said it was the best hotel breakfast he has had in Japan. He even got up early for it. Of course they had him at hamburgers, but there was also eggs Benedict and Japanese specialties like dumplings with shrimp and wheat noodles. And some unusual items like caprese salad. The Western beds were the right height and very comfortable. The room was spotless. Parking is under the hotel and easy to find.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is within a short walk if the train station, and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful with some speaking English. Given the overall appearance of the hotel, I was surprised that my room seemed older than the rest of the facilities I saw, but it was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was more expensive than I wanted to venture, so I don't have any experience with its quality.

Charming little hotel!

The decor was a bit dated, but that just added to the charm of the hotel. The staff was very friendly! Overall the stay was quite pleasant and enjoyable. Very close to the station and convenient to the local attractions. Recommended!

Old and faded with a couple nice amenities

My first impression was disappointment in the room. The carpet was very worn and stained, the furnishings worn and dated. Hardly “Royal”. However, there is a nice onsen onnpremisesand a large and delicious breakfast buffet. Two minutes o then Kintetsu station and one minute to Tourist Information.

A really nice hotel. Big and professional. Beds were a little hard but rooms were nice. The rooms seemed a little oldschool but that didnt matter. A nice place to explore Kashihara!

また滞在したいホテル🏨

一人一泊シングルルームで滞在しました。 設備に古さは目立つものの､館内・室内・レストランはとても清潔で落ち着いたデザインで良かったです。 夕食にレストランを利用しましたが、お値段が高く躊躇しましたが一品一品の料理が大変美味しくお酒・デザートも品数多かったです。 21：00からラウンジでは無料でお酒(5〜6種あったかな？)ツマミを頂けて､とても満喫させていただきました。 欠点を挙げるなら部屋の換気音が気になりました。 静かでないと寝れない方は､ちょっと厳しいかもしれません。
