Superb! The room is clean. Staff are friendly and they helped us to book a restaurant at Osaka. There is a self-help corner with a wide variety of tea bags. Love it!
The location is great, near the Kintetsu station (近鐵奈良站) and a supermarket is a few metres from the hotel.

The hotel is a 4-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station. The lobby offers complimentary toiletries and drinking water, which is very convenient. The breakfast is quite extensive with Japanese specialties. Nara Park and other attractions are within walking distance, though it takes about 15-20 minutes.

Excellent hotel — steps from the train station, easy to reach on foot (we used Google Maps). Very clean, friendly staff and a high level of service. The room was spacious and tidy: large beds, quality linens, comfortable robes and slippers, and international plug adapters provided. Bright interior, a cozy table for tea/coffee, a roomy entryway and a superb bathroom with modern fixtures. Plenty of pedestrian streets, cafés and a grocery store nearby; the deer park is within easy walking distance. Breakfast was included and enjoyable. Highly recommended
Великолепный отель — в двух шагах от вокзала, удобно добираться пешком (Google Maps). Чисто, очень дружелюбный персонал и высокий уровень сервиса. Номер просторный и аккуратный: большие кровати, качественное постельное бельё, халаты и тапочки, есть переходники для розеток. Светлый интерьер, уютный столик для чая/кофе; просторная прихожая и отличная ванная комната с современной техникой. Рядом пешеходные улицы, кафе и продуктовый магазин; до парка с оленями — рукой подать. Завтрак включён и понравился. Очень рекомендую.

This was my second time visiting Nara, and this time I traveled completely independently. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient. Coming from Kyoto on the Kintetsu Nara Line, you just walk straight down a bustling shopping and food street from the subway station, and the hotel is right at the end. It has a resort-style feel. There's no hot water dispenser in the room, so if you want hot water, you have to go downstairs, which is a bit inconvenient. I ended up bringing my own water every day. Bus route number 2 stops right outside and is a loop line, making it easy to get to all the attractions whenever you want.

On the other hand, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of a kettle in the room during your stay.

This has to be my favourite hotel in Japan. Firstly, the hotel is close to Nara Station, about a 3 minutes walk away. Room is spacious, and plenty of free consumables provided in the lobby. Filtered water dispenser is also available at the lobby. I think there was some food or snacks provided at night, but I came back to the hotel too late, only to find an empty tray with crumbs only.
Breakfast is a mix of traditional Japanese cuisine and Western breakfast items, and I was super impressed with the Japanese style breakfast! Please, you have to try the breakfast if you’re staying here.

This hotel is incredibly close to Nara Subway Station, probably a 1-2 minute walk. On the first floor, you can pick up complimentary toiletries, and they have everything, even lotion, facial cleanser, and toner. It's super convenient for going out to shop and eat. To get a room like this for less than 500 yuan is fantastic value for money. The room is new, and although it's small, it has everything you need. Also, I highly recommend getting the breakfast – it's incredibly rich with both Japanese and Western options, and the variety is amazing.

This hotel is right next to Nanyang Park, just a few hundred meters' walk away. It's also in a lively neighborhood, very close to the subway station. I found this hotel to be beyond my expectations; the service was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the environment was clean and well-maintained. It offers great value for money.

The room was spacious enough to open a large suitcase, and there was even a small walk-in closet. The bedding was incredibly comfortable and warm, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep! The service was excellent; unlike some hotels in Osaka, the front desk staff didn't ask for tips upfront. When I left something at the front desk, the gentleman immediately called to ask about it and even arranged for the elevator to wait on my floor. The location is fantastic, very close to all the nearby attractions, and within walking distance! A truly great experience!!

The room environment was poor, and the service quality was terrible. I suspect the hotel staff were ******, laughing at guests behind their backs. They also charged exorbitant late check-out fees. I strongly advise against Chinese people staying here.
