Very convenient location near the station. Breakfast was also good. It's nice to be able to see the station platform from your room and watch the trains in a daze.I'm a smoker, so I made smoking possible, but the smell was too strong even for smokers. Is there anything that can be done about the smell of cigarettes in the room? Other than that it was a very good hotel. Everyone at the front desk was kind.

Close to JR Nara Station. Good location, larger and cleaner than Toyoko Inn. WiFi also connects well.Car parking available. It costs 800 yen a day and you cannot leave the parking lot midway.*Coin parking nearby is cheaper. . .Breakfast is free, but it is also very rich.There is also a large public bath, so I think it is a very good hotel among business hotels.

This hotel is conveniently located in front of Nara Station. Even within Nara City, prices vary greatly depending on the season, so you can get better value for money if you go during the off-season. Breakfast included. Although the inside is small, there is no inconvenience during your stay.

It's a 3-minute walk from JR Nara Station, the rooms are clean and reasonably compact, and the front desk staff was kind and courteous. The persimmon leaf sushi recommended by the female staff at the front desk was also delicious! I wasn't able to eat Kinchaku Udon in time for the 4pm closing time, but I'd like to try it next time.There is a parking lot on the hotel grounds, and you can park for 800 yen, but it's first come first served, so it's better to check in early! Breakfast was free, but it was enough for my needs and was perfect for someone like me who eats light breakfast. The public bath is compact, so it might be better to go early or late.By the way, the men's public bath is on the 1st floor and the women's public bath is on the 2nd floor, so it may be convenient for women to take a room on the 2nd floor. My wife said no.It was nice to be able to wear indoor clothes to the public bath and breakfast.Overall, this is the hotel I would like to stay at next time I come to Nara ♪
