4/5
I think it's a very cost-effective hotel. If I ever go to Nara by car, I would like to use this hotel again.First of all, the room was a twin room and was used by two people, but I felt that it was spacious enough.The large public bath was not as big as a super public bath, but it was larger than the large baths often found in business hotels, and the open-air bath was also spacious enough. Also, this time I used the plan without meals, but there are many places to eat around the area, so I didn't have any problems finding meals. I would like to try breakfast next time.
