Nara Prefecture

The hotel is conveniently located very close to the JR station. The breakfast offers a wide variety of delicious options, including Nara's local specialties, which can be enjoyed directly at the hotel. The downside is that there are too many guests, making the onsen very crowded and requiring you to queue for breakfast. The bed is a bit hard, and the air conditioner has some noise.

The hotel is located near JR Nara Station, about a 3-5 minute walk away. It's convenient for transferring to Osaka and Kyoto. There's a Matsuya restaurant at the entrance of the alley, but no convenience store. You have to walk to the front of JR station for a convenience store, so the convenience of the location is average. There are fewer lively streets near the JR station side, but you can reach Kintetsu Nara through Sanjo-dori Shopping Street, which is a very lively area. Nara relies more on buses for transportation, and it's actually more convenient to take the bus from the JR station. The hotel overall is decent, but on my first day, I didn't know there was heating (air conditioner), and I think the room's central control hardware facilities could be improved. The shower water is very hot! Super hot! Be extra careful when using it.

very convenient location at JR station and bus stop. many shops and restaurants nearby. the buffet breakfast has lot of choices with some variation on each day.

The hotel's exterior design is modern, and the front desk staff is very helpful. The lobby gives the impression of being more than just a 3-star hotel; it has 4-star quality! The rooms are very spacious, providing an overall comfortable feeling. The bathroom design is pleasant and has ample space. I initially thought there were no personal toiletries, but they were cleverly stored! Highly recommended!

The self-service luggage storage was great, and it's very close to the station. The price for a Saturday night stay wasn't cheap, and the bathroom was a bit small for that price. It was quiet at night, but the AC was a bit noisy. There's a lavender scent in the first-floor common area, which I personally didn't like. The breakfast selection wasn't very diverse, but it's not a large hotel.

They don't have a carpark so if you are driving, you will have to park in some public carpark nearby. It will be extra 1000 yen++ overnight after the hotel discount coupon to apply. The room is clean and tidy. Sky spa looks good but uses normal tap water with kinda strong disinfectant smell.

It's conveniently located within walking distance of the JR station, with plenty of dining options nearby. Plus, it's only about a 30-minute JR ride to Osaka, and the room rates are cheaper than in Osaka, so it's worth considering staying here. The only minor drawback is that the air conditioning isn't always very cool.

Musa is a great and safe driver! He is always on time. He is good with directions and always asks us first where we want to go and willing to provide his best service. We enjoyed our trip because of the convenience of rhe service. We saved a lot of time. Musa is polite and kind, too!

Our Kyoto and Nara tour was extremely well organized and smooth from start to finish. The itinerary was clear, the timing was well managed, and everything felt stress-free—even while traveling as a family. Our tour guide Ellie was wonderful. She consistently checked on us, made sure we were okay, and guided the group with care and professionalism. We never felt rushed, and she made sure everyone was comfortable at every stop. Because of Ellie’s attentiveness and organization, we were able to fully enjoy Kyoto and Nara without worrying about logistics. It was a relaxing and memorable experience for our whole family. Highly recommended—thank you Ellie for taking such good care of us 🙏✨
