The hotel is near JR Nara (opposite Hotel Nikko Nara), but I mistakenly went to Kintetsu Nara Station and walked for about 15 minutes, rattling my suitcase. The hotel is near the station, has new, modern facilities, and has a convenience store on the first floor, which was very convenient. Also, I would like to use it when I go to Nara.

We were passing through and only stayed at the hotel for one night, but would have liked to stay longer. Top facilities, very spacious by Japanese standards, friendly staff and good breakfast. The hotel is also located directly at the train station.

It's about a 3 minute walk from the west exit of JR Nara Station.The hotel rooms are new, clean and comfortable.I chose the short stay plan and stayed for 7,700 yen instead of staying for a short time.I'm glad that the disposable slippers in the room don't look cheap.

It's conveniently located and easy to use. Also, although the rooms are small, they are fully equipped. However, the employees here are the worst. There is no bright smile. No matter what you say, you can only make comments that sound like sarcasm, and even customers who are not complainers will complain. I'm very disappointed. The overall score is 2 stars because the location is good, but the customer service is the worst. Not recommended for those who want to travel comfortably.
