"Good: Good cost performance, Good staff, great variety of food, convenient location - next to train station and convenience stores, signs are in english and Japanese. Staff have limited english skills which is ready good for simple requests I think.
Bad: room seems to have no air conditioning (cool cold air) - the ”air condition” dail only has fan speed not temperature and it blows warm air. The window gives cold air but can be noisy, especially at day time with construction work going on nearby unless window is left very slightly ajar.
Overall it's fine but not sure how good it is in the summer without air-conditioning."

"Modern stylish hotel. Room was spacious with panoramic view. Cozy comfortable matres and soft pillow.
Very hospitality staff. In every moment try to help you.
You may see Nara deers from cafe terrace.
Convenient and quiet location. Not too many tourists. Grocery and a lot of deers near.
Paid parking about 700 yens per weekday.
I couldn't eat Japanese breakfast. It was too conceptual and unusual. But western breakfast is ok.
I recommend you not to pay for hotel breakfast. Because of its unpalatable and at a high price for this place.
Handy laundry. One washing costs 600 yens."

There was also a massage chair and every possible comfort — simply amazing. It’s about a 20-minute walk from the metro; maybe there are some bus routes, but we used the metro. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!"

"The location seems a bit out of the way, but it's actually very close to Nara Park; you can easily spot deer just by stepping outside.
The room was clean and spacious, but there was no staff to assist with check-in or check-out. After settling in, it was quite nice. The kids loved the Japanese tatami mats.
It also has a microwave and induction cooker, suitable for short stays.
The small courtyard outside is well-designed, though small. Free parking is also available.
The only downside is the lack of breakfast; you have to prepare your own.
These minor flaws don't detract from the overall experience; I would stay here again next time."

"The location is superb, right next to the park. The room is good, and there's a place to do laundry, plus a communal kitchen. The only downside is the thin walls. We couldn't sleep the first night because other guests were very noisy, despite signs everywhere saying to be quiet after 10 PM – they were still making noise until morning. Everything else was great, and check-in was easy."

A 2-night stay including breakfast was an absolute steal for us. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful—they even made special arrangements to send a forgotten item from our previous hotel to our next one. Really appreciated their professionalism. Highly recommended if you're visiting Nara on a free-and-easy tri."

"The location of this hotel is amazing. It's within 15 minutes walk from Nara Park as well as several streets full of shops and restaurants. It's also only 5 minutes from the nara-kinetetsu station. The staff were incredibly friendly and the coffee shop is a nice place to sit. The only real negative was the fact that they use very tiny pillows - but they gave me an extra one when I asked and that pretty much solved the issue. Would stay here again if I returned to Nara."

Just a 1-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station without getting wet in the rain.
Nara Park and Todai-ji Temple’s Great Buddha Hall are also within walking distance.
Located inside a covered shopping arcade, guests can enjoy restaurants and souvenir shops comfortably without worrying about the weather.
The property also features a large public bath, as well as tatami flooring and futon bedding, allowing you to relax while experiencing the charm of traditional Japan.
"The location is right in the shopping street and also at the Kintetsu exit, it is only 15 minutes to go to the park. The staff is warm and courteous, the hot springs are fine but quiet enough. The hotel is old but tidy, there is no daily necessities except old towels, including a blow dryer in the hot spring area, and there is nothing towels lock. Of course, this price can't be too much, remember this is a hotel. I was impressed by the invincible location and courteous staff, I can't say whether I like it or not."

First of all, the service staff is warm and thoughtful, and the attitude is amiable! Tell the precautions, the hotel is clean and hygienic, and the quilt is covered by yourself. The bathroom in the bath is particularly clean. Every guest is very conscious. Try to control yourself and not disturb others. It is really great!

The hotel is conveniently located near the station in a quiet area. You can walk to Nara Park and the nearest sights. The room had a teapot, tea, plastic glasses (which is uncomfortable), a fan, a lingerie dryer, bathrooms, lots of towels. But on the layer floor where the bed is very dusty. All the windows and curtains are in dust. Appended a photo.

We stayed at the hotel for one night and regretted not staying for two.
The journey from the station was an hour-long bus ride along winding roads, so if you're traveling with a child, pack a bag beforehand, as it can cause motion sickness. From the bus stop to the hotel, it's a 10-15-minute walk (at a leisurely pace). You'll see your name on the sign at the entrance. The hotel is modern, but it creaks when you walk, which is actually a plus. The room is traditionally furnished with two rooms, and they offer complimentary tea. There are plenty of closets, though I couldn't figure out how to turn off one light.
I also recommend booking the room with a traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. Everything is delicious and fresh.
There's a small local brewery next to the hotel, which is a nice place to stop in after the onsen in a yukata.

My trip to Japan was so enjoyable largely because of this hotel! I was initially worried about the two Superhotels, but this one was fantastic! It's right across from the JR station, and the staff at the front desk all speak Chinese, and I heard they also speak Korean, Japanese, and English—amazing! Communication was completely seamless. During check-in, they explained everything in detail, including pillows, pajamas, combs, shampoo, and more! The breakfast was delicious and very Japanese, and I noticed many Japanese people choose to stay here, which was really great. Nara Park is also within walking distance. Overall, I had a wonderful time. I've already recommended it to everyone I know, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kansai—it's even cheaper than others! The rooms are small, but that seems to be a common problem with Japanese hotels.

Cannot speak highly enough of the friendly staff, the amazing breakfast and dinners, the wonderful public bath with cherry blossoms on full display outside. The room was large and comfortable with a seating area over looking the mountains. If I could rate them 10 out of 5 I would. The location was excellent and close to the train, buses and walking paths to the top of Mt Yoshino. We felt very lucky to have stayed here. It was the highlight of our trip to Japan.

A classic Japanese-style hotel, conveniently located near the Kintetsu Station. Nara Park is also not far away. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and very clean. The two bathrooms are very nice, and the shower gel and shampoo are high-quality Pola. The dinner was delicious and filling, with a wide variety of dishes. The breakfast was also very good.
