The superior twin room is nice, spacious and comfortable: make sure you reserve a non-smoking one unless you like the smell of stale smoke. Unfortunately coffee sachets are not part of the amenities, only green tea, which is really disappointing as I couldn't have my morning coffee before heading out.

We stayed in a room on the 7th floor (top floor) for 3 nights. The room is spacious enough. There were also two sofas, so two adults could spend a relaxing time. It was a shame that the bath was small, but the shower pressure was fine. (I thought that if there was a large public bath, I wouldn't have to worry about the small bath in the room.)Bath towels, hand towels, bath mats, slippers, hair dryers, electric kettles, air purifiers, cups, mugs, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, hand soap, cleansing, body milk, lotion, and emulsion are provided in the room.Toothbrushes, razors, disposable chopsticks, green tea, black tea, women's cotton and hair tie sets, etc., are available for each guest to choose from in front of the front desk on the first floor.As you enter the hotel, the reception is on the right and the restaurant is on the left. (I don't know about the meals as this is a room only plan)The smoking area is a space surrounded by sheets on the right side of the entrance.There was an electric footbath (bead-like) next to the front desk, and foreign customers seemed to be having fun using it.The laundry room was on the 4th floor and had a washer and dryer. This time, I used a washing machine. The usage fee is 300 yen, and the detergent comes out automatically, so you don't need to prepare it. However, there is no exchange machine in the laundry room, so you will have to pay at the front desk.Apparently there were vending machines and ice on the 5th floor, but I didn't use them this time.There is only one elevator. The hotel also accepts groups of guests, so depending on the time of day, it may take some time to use the elevator.I used the elevator when changing money at the laundry, but it took a very long time as it coincided with the group's arrival time.There are basically two front staff. Early in the morning and late hours, only one person was available.Everyone was kind and pleasant, but it was disappointing to see that information was often not shared.There were several staff members with foreign roots, so I think it's reassuring for foreign customers. I think so.When I stayed in Yamaguchi for 3 nights on a trip in May, I found that if I stayed for consecutive nights and didn't ask for the room to be cleaned, I could receive service (drinks provided), breakfast was a buffet and the contents changed every day, and there was a large public bath separate from the room. I felt a little unsatisfied with my stay this time, as I had experience staying in hotels that had a lot of things.If you think about it calmly, it's about 30,000 yen for 3 nights for 2 adults, so it should be enough.About 3 minutes walk from JR Nara Station to the left with your back to the station. I think the location is good. (cross the pedestrian crossing)

It’s an old fashioned hotel with limited parking lots. Normally have to park your car somewhere nearby. The WiFi in the room is not so stable. Btw, they have upgraded us to a bigger room this time.

I have been here 3 times. The room is spacious, beautiful and clean, I feel very comfortable. There is facial cleanser including facial cleanser for oily skin, facial cream, toner. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner have pleasant scent. The service attitude of the reception staff is very good. Check-out time is 11am, sometimes it can be 12pm, so you will have time to visit Nara Park in the morning.Booked via Yahoo
