Excellent location—right next to Nara Station, making it very convenient to take the bus to Tōdai-ji and Nara Park. The hotel room was very clean and well-equipped, with a bathtub, TV, refrigerator, and everything you might need. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely my top choice for my next trip to Nara!

酒店在JR奈良站旁邊，整體偏小但設施全面，衞生也還過得去，性價比高。但是靠鐵路的那側太吵了，非常影響休息

房間真的很小 12平 行李箱打不開。
空調遙控在床頭板上 不能調温度 但是夠冷。
遮光窗關不緊 有一條小縫隙正好照臉上 早上被曬醒。
隔壁就是jr，停車也很方便。對面有泰國人的小超市

JR站東口出來 走五分鐘就到了
房間設施會舊一點 不過乾淨沒有味道
配套也齊全
買東西吃飯出行都很方便
Aeon就在站裏 也不遠

The room wasn't soundproof and you might hear the outside speaking and ppl banging on the bed. The fridge also smelled so bad and the toilet was mouldy. Nevertheless it's affordable and near to the train station.

The hotel is 3 minutes from the JR Nara Line - Nara Station and easy to find. The room is of normal size (for Japan) with all needed amenities available in the room or at the reception. Breakfast was a buffet with Japanese dishes and curry. A nice overnight stay, and we enjoyed.
