Great location for Nara main attractions. Easy to find restaurants, next to a market, short walk to Nara Park. The place is new, easy to find and easy to use in general.
Few things could be improved. Check in instructions were sent in Japanese only and we needed some codes to access the place so it wasn’t straight forward. Towels were super small and the futon super thin you basically sleep on top of the carpet. We have stayed in plenty of futon and tatami hotels in our trip and this one was definitely missing the thick part. Uncomfortable night. Also on arrival, although the place was clean that was a horrible smell that went away once we open the windows and air the room
Gracias, excelente opción para relajarse y visitar
Excelente, muy bien ubicado, para una pareja que esté de viaje es excelente, cuenta con todos los servicios y súper sencilla la entrada a la habitación, muy bien, todo recomendado excelente
Place was new and very nice. The only downside is that the room was a bit dark. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay considering the price. Location was super convenient as well!
