At this point in my vacation I needed an American sized room. I was dissatisfied with other hotels and their tiny rooms. I was soooo happy to see I could stretch out. The staff was amazing! The young lady spoke very good English.

Nathan United States of America

We truly appreciated the cultural experiences there like the origami-making, the shodo lessons, the lessons on history of Nara by the staff, the English-speaking staff and the exceptional location right on the edge of the deer park and the Nara town with the many eating places. The manager even changed our rooms to give us one with a view of the pond and the pagoda. What I personally liked was how the staff went out of their way to engage you from the minute you arrived. Just so exceptional and truly exhibiting the Japanese hospitality of "omotenashi" !

Glenn United States of America

Awesome tatami and facilities! And love the fact that it has public bathroom like hot spring hotel! location is also great since it is so close to the main street.

Isaac United States of America

I reserved a tatami room with private facilities. I did not expect a large 4 person room overlooking the sarusawa pond and the Five Storey Pagoda. Add to this a very helpful information center, a combini on ground floor, a public bath. Stunning bargain.

Michael Netherlands

I stay here every time I go to Nara, friendly staff and best location.

Daniel Canada

The staff was very friendly and super helpful, which is to be expected since it is inside the tourist information office. We signed up for the Wednesday afternoon tea ceremony, which was very enjoyable.

Andi United States of America

Chose a tatami room. Great view of Tofukuji and lake, convenient to other sites in Nara that wanted to visit. Availability of computer and able to leave luggage for the day of check out. Stayed in two different rooms, both tatami, so had to move out of room by 10 am for 3 nights I stayed there.

Judith United States of America

The view, the convenient location for all the relevant sightseeing, shops and restaurants All in all a great Japanese experience!

Rita Switzerland

The hotel staff was very nice and great with kids.

Jr Japan

GREAT location, kind and helpful staff and free luggage storage prior to check in and after check out! We had the Japanese traditional room which was beautiful and included an amazing view of the nearby pond and temple! Great location (minutes away from the temples, garden and of course deer!!)

      Nothing

      The room and bathroom are sparklingly clean! The counter staff are really well trained and serve well with passion. The Japanese style room is very spacious with a great view of Kofukuji Temple and Sarusawanoike Pond. It's nice to have a public bath for the guests. There are many activities arranged for guests, but too bad I did not have the time to join. Absolutely value for money.

      The pillows.

      At this point in my vacation I needed an American sized room. I was dissatisfied with other hotels and their tiny rooms. I was soooo happy to see I could stretch out. The staff was amazing! The young lady spoke very good English.

      Nothing!....Everything was just great!

      We truly appreciated the cultural experiences there like the origami-making, the shodo lessons, the lessons on history of Nara by the staff, the English-speaking staff and the exceptional location right on the edge of the deer park and the Nara town with the many eating places. The manager even changed our rooms to give us one with a view of the pond and the pagoda. What I personally liked was how the staff went out of their way to engage you from the minute you arrived. Just so exceptional and truly exhibiting the Japanese hospitality of "omotenashi" !

      The thin walls and floors. As you could hear and feel people walking and the vibrations.

      The view, the style of the room, the cosiness, the staff, the location!

      Great view from the Japanese type room which was very clean and an interesting experience sleeping on futons and tatami mats. Located near the main shopping area, train station and sightseeing places. The staff is absolutely friendly and helpful. The room for 5 felt just right for 3!

      Center has a lot of attractions for cultural experience. You can try kimono, ninja, sumo suit, do origami or calligraphy for free for all tourists. Also everyone can take a break there, charge phone, use internet, laptops, leave baggage in storage and all for free for every tourist. For hotel guests there is bath in Japanese style also free of charge. Staff was very nice and helpful. Location is amazing. Close to lake and Nara park.

      The noise from the next room’s shower was so noisy at midnight and it disturbed our sleep.

      The location and the view from the room were very good. Staff members were very friendly and pleasant. The big bath in the basement was nice.

Wifi was good. Public bath in the basement was nice. It's clean and quiet. Grocerie store in the basement. Excellent location, you can reach most of the temples/ shrines by foot. Staff was helpfull.

      A little too hot in the room during winter because of the air conditioner.... the window may have been locked and cannot open for air exchange...

      Good service here. Wonderful public space in the building. Plus fantastic visitor center downstairs! BTW what is the brand of the shampoo provided ? It fits me soooo much!
