Great location near Nara park, next to all the landmark shrines & temples. The hotel is very good overall, but felt somewhat overpriced (no onsen, rooms not so large and equipment quite standard). Traditional breakfast was very good.

Great property. Hotel policies not super friendly. They have a lounge with drinks in the afternoon, but they won't let you sit down to enjoy your drinks as they want to save the tables for dinner, even though it's 4PM and no one was in the restaurant. Taking drinks to your room for happy hour is not great.

Really cannot fault this hotel. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped and the whole hotel is beautifully designed, around an inner courtyard garden with resident chickens. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene. Inclusive drinks and snacks are a nice touch and dinner (a sort of Japanese / Western fine dining hybrid) was excellent. Breakfast (traditional Japanese) also superb. The staff are very friendly and helpful although maybe don’t speak as much English as at larger hotels. This was never a problem though. It is walking distance from Nara park and most of the main sites and is sited on the banks of a beautiful lake. With the yen currently weak, it also represents exceptional value. If I return to Nara, I would not stay anywhere else. Genuinely superb.

一見、お部屋綺麗に見えるのですが、水をこぼした時ティッシュで拭くと真っ黒でした。拭き掃除が全くできてないんだなと思いました。あと、アメニティが全くない！歯ブラシもないし売ってもないので困りました。部屋のライトも暗いし、部屋の段差があるので、年寄りには、向いてないなぁと思いました。お値段の割に、不便なホテルでした。

I especially loved that they had three friendly chickens, and the whole place felt eco-friendly. My partner and I felt completely at peace. My only wish is that we could have stayed one more night. If I find myself back in Nara, I will definitely stay here again.
