The price is reasonable, the quality of the accommodation is very good, the environment is comfortable and clean, there is a washing machine, and many comics are available. The accommodation is also very quiet and the location is very good. It is a 3-minute walk to the Kintetsu Station and a 15-minute walk to Nara Park. Breakfast is also available. It's very rich and delicious. Check-in and check-out are self-service, which is very convenient. It's the most advanced hotel in Japan. There are bicycles for rent at the door, and the elevator also requires a key card. The security is very good.

I stayed in the Narashika Train Room with my kids.There are deer footprints outside the door, and when you enter, you're inside the train. It has the power to erase the fear of being surrounded by deer in the room and being attacked by rice crackers during the day.A cute, cute world.The sink is in front of the entrance, and the toilet and bath are separate and comfortable. It's clean and neat as well.The children's amenities are also cute, so they are very happy. There are gowns for small children, but they are large, so it is best to bring pajamas.You can rest assured that the staff will respond politely if you call them.Although it's near the station, it's on the opposite side of the street from the downtown area, so it's a bit scary for women after dark.

Conveniently located about 3 minutes walk from Kintetsu Nara Station. Check-in and check-out is also easy. Free luggage storage before check-in was also convenient. I wanted to get a superior twin, but was it popular and fully booked? It was standard, but the room was spacious and clean. We chose breakfast included to save us the trouble of having to go looking for breakfast in the surrounding area. It was a reasonable and convenient hotel.

I like that it's close to Kintetsu Nara Station and that you can drop off your luggage without having to face anyone. However, even if you stay multiple nights, you only have one disposable toothbrush. Unless you stay for 3 nights or more, you won't be able to change the sheets or replenish tea, tissues, or toilet paper (as part of our ECO activities, disposable toilet paper is included, but that's not a big deal). It's okay to take advantage of it, but unfortunately, even if you cooperate with this ECO activity, there is no return on service to customers like you can see at other hotels, which makes me feel... I feel that the spirit of service and hospitality is lacking despite the word ECO.Having said that, I was satisfied overall, so I used it casually. Even if I encountered red mold in the bath, I would clean it myself and get through it (I always forget to clean the drain groove and the four corners of the bath). I can see the cooler filter from directly below, but it's dusty and rough. It's making a strange noise. I think that's the limit.I also liked the shampoos provided (HAJIMARI) and used them at home. Yes, it was one of my favorite hotels.But when I started using shampoos at home, I noticed this. The viscosity of the solution is completely different.It's smooth. Hotel shampoos.…Is it diluted?It's a hotbed of germs.It's simply impossible. Should I bring my own shampoo and toothbrush from home? Is it worth it? Hmm.Oh, please let me hear your voice.

🌕Tsukimi dango just placed at the front deskRenting a room with no staffThe lobby is spacious. There are two elevators, and in front of them are shelves of comic books. There is no staff at the front desk. Tsukimi dango is displayed at the front desk. This day (September 17, 2024) is the Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Day. There was also a hologram dinosaur behind it. This was my first time checking in using a hologram.The second floor guest room is a universal room. Two 160cm beds, a round table and two chairs. Refrigerator, safe, electric kettle, air purifier.What is missing is an alarm clock, reading light, memo paper, baggage rack, toiletries such as a toothbrush, and a welcome drink.The bathroom has three sliding doors at the entrance, no steps, and many handrails around the toilet and bathtub so that people with disabilities can use it. wonderful.You can eat breakfast by purchasing a meal ticket (1200 yen) the day before. 2 types of bread, bacon, eggs, salad, drinks (juice, milk, iced tea, iced tea, green tea), hot coffee. It's a bit of a meager meal.
