It's close to Nara Station and the location is great. There are many delicious restaurants around. Nara Park is also close by and it's in a perfect location. I came to Nara because Osaka hotel prices are too expensive on weekends, but it was my first time using a shared room and it was quiet and worth a try.
Located a bit west of Nara, the Chinese owner is very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They also offer bike rentals, and the prices are very affordable. Overall, it's a pretty good option.
Nice and chill reception. Really feels cozy and informal. Room was clean and simple, tatami mat floor and futon, very comfortable. The warming blanket was amazing! Toilet was super clean, which was such a relief. Very quiet neighbourhood. Close to buss tops and a giant bookshop/starbucks.
It’s a really lovely old Japanese house, but it’s really not been made over into a guest house at all.
1. There are pictures of a bath. It is not in the hotel it is just a separate public bath you have to pay for…
2. They charge for everything including “renting” towels and yukata
3. No noise blocking at all and kids are allowed. It sounds like they are in your room
4. Contactless check in doesn’t feel very safe
This place was so cute and excellent. Staff didn't speak much English, but we were able to communicate easily enough. Room was Japanese Ryokan style. Tatami mats, low table. It had everything needed, shower and toilet in the room too. There is also an onsen that you can reserve for your private use. I asked for a time later at night and they still had one spot available. If you can't get a time then it is ”public use” after 22:00, which seems to mean that you might need to share if others want to join. Location was very good, right in the middle of the historic part of town and a short walk (<5 min) to Nara park to see the deer. Hotel was very nice and clean. I was here in late December and the air conditioning heater in the room was very good too.
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.
Behind Kofuku-ji Temple, the location is very good, you can see Sarusawa Pond from the window, and there are deer downstairs
Service: The owner is an elderly Japanese couple, very kind, and gave the children a deer souvenir
Facilities: The bathroom is a bit small, and children may bump into things when using the toilet
A typical Japanese small hotel. Experience the awesome tatami accommodation in Japan. The service is in place.
At the end of October, although the weather was cold, there was air conditioning for heating.
The hotel is a four-minute walk from Nara Kintetsu Station.
You can walk to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Nara Park, and Todaiji Temple. Good location.
Very good homestay. It was already around 10 o'clock in the evening. Although it was very late, the aunt came out very enthusiastically to check in for me. You can also smoke indoors. The room is large and the facilities are all available, as well as a TV and bathtub. If you come to Nara Tianli, this is the best choice for staying. I highly recommend everyone to stay here!

Very Good
AAnonymous UserGood location, facilities and amenities. The room was a bit cramped for 2 people with 2 medium luggage, but if you travel light it was a nice hotel for short stays 👍

GGuest UserFor friends who ask for dinner, please see the picture. It is suitable for bringing children. The environment is good and the service is very good. We have arrived at Yoshino Station at more than 8 o'clock in the evening. Please ask the service staff of the station to call the hotel and pick us up in less than ten minutes. Because the hotel does not provide dinner, we deliberately took us to a nearby restaurant for dinner. I helped put our shoes in the fantasy early in the morning, so sweet!
輝輝記The hotel is located next to the park and basically has everything you need!
The disadvantage is that the location requires a flight of stairs, which may be difficult if you have heavy luggage.
There is no 24-hour parking lot near the hotel. I drove myself to the point where I had no place to park. I had to park next to the bus stop at night so as not to obstruct others. As a result, I was charged with illegal parking and fined 25,000 yen😭😭😭
The advantage is that you can see sika deer and feed them at the hotel entrance

GGabby1109Located in a quiet quaint neighborhood. It was storming so I didn't get an opponent to enjoy the river and it's surrounding which the accommodation was just next to. But the spacious room came as a joy but unfortunately the beddings were not comfortable. Could feel the bed springs and the pillow overly soft. Wished that they provided tatami beddings instead.
Check in details were not provided via booking on trip.com but thankfully could easily contact the owner via WhatsApp. Overall still a great experience.
GGuest UserIdealy located to visit Shigisan, a 5min walk from the entrance !
A very pleasant Onsen (indoor and Outdoor) is in the hotel.
Note however that they don't serve diner and all restaurants are closed in the evening, so make sure you plan accordingly !
