The walls are thin so you can hear quite a lot of noise from other rooms.The door to the toilet on the second floor opens inward, making it extremely difficult to get in and out.Do I take off my slippers in the Japanese-style room on the second floor?I took my slippers off, but there were people who came in with their slippers on, so I think they should set some rules.The WiFi signal in the common room on the second floor is weak.The room and shower room were clean and nice.

I used Hotel Base Nara to participate in the Nara work event.I was excited as it was my first experience in an unmanned hotel in Japan, but there were no inconveniences and I was able to check in according to the instructions I received via email.The room was clean and the toilet and shower booth were comfortable to use. In particular, the manga corner in the common space on the second floor was amazing. Thanks to all of you, I lost half a day's work time. I enthusiastically reviewed Vagabond for the first time in a while. lolThe common space on the second floor was large and comfortable, so I think I could work there. However, since it is a tatami room, people who are not used to it, such as Westerners, may not be able to sit and work for a long time.The hotel is surrounded by JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station, and there are also shops that operate 24 hours a day, such as Sukiya. However, it seemed like there were only a limited number of cafes and Mac restaurants that were open until late at night, and there were also only a few local pubs. In that area, you need to demonstrate your strengths and actively develop it. And if you're working late at night, I think it's better to use the common space on the second floor.That's all. Thank you very much for allowing me to stay comfortably and conveniently this time. We look forward to working with you again next time. Thank you for your continued support.

Considering the price, I couldn't ask for anything more. Double and twin rooms are also as cheap as dormitory class rooms.I stayed in a twin room for 6 nights, but bath towels were provided. As advertised on the website, this is a large, thick bath towel. It was very comfortable to use, but it didn't get replaced after 6 nights, and even when I hung it in my room it didn't dry at all, so I would have been happy if they had replaced it at least once.I was annoyed when I tried to wash my hair that one of the shower rooms had conditioner, but I was grateful that they provided it.The walls are thin, so even though you're in a private room, you can hear everything from the next room. Only on the last night, there was a foreigner next door and he was snoring so loud, and I was worried because maybe he was yelling or the bed was too small, but there was a lot of thumping and thumping until midnight, and I was listening to something like the Koran at 3am. Around the time, I heard some people chanting or just talking, so I was concerned about the noise, but considering the price, it was acceptable.Recommended for those who can accept other things like ``what if'' considering the price.

I stayed in a single room, spacious and equipped with everything I needed. The bathrooms are shared but separated by gender on two floors. The hotel is really spotless and clean. The only downside is that it's not possible to leave your luggage at the hotel before check-in or after check-out, but if you contact them via chat, they will provide you with information about nearby lockers.

I didn't have high expectations at first, but I was surprised at how clean and spacious the facility was. I think this is fine if you don't need a toilet or shower in your room.However, is it a design flaw that the toilet door faces inward and is difficult to exit?

The bed and the room itself were clean. Was it because it was used during busy times? I couldn't park in the parking lot next door because it was full, so I parked far away, so I thought it would be nice if I could make a reservation for the parking lot next door.
