Great Japanese experience

Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Great location. Would stay here again. Breakfast was beautifully payed out. Very Japanese - some was yummy but not every dish was my taste. But that’s just different cultures. Overall a lovely stay.

Super Location in Nara

Lohnenswert!, Sehr gÃŒnstig gelegen, um die SehenswÃŒrdigkeiten in Nara zu Fuß zu erreichen. Außergewöhnlich zuvorkommender Service (ich erhielt auf Wunsch ein "Western Breakfast", was nicht selbstverstÀndlich ist); Gute Zimmer, mit Blick auf den Pond; Das Onsen ist ein wenig klein, (leider auch nur male/female getrennt); Kostenloses Parken 100 m entfernt vom Hotel.

猿沢の池畔

チェックむンの際のロビヌのタバコの臭いで、絶望的な気分になった。掚しお知るべしず考えおいたが、予想に反し、倧颚呂は枅朔感があり快適だったし、郚屋からの眺望も良し。䞀番良かったのは朝食。質の良い和定食で、萜ち着いた雰囲気。朝食埌、個々にロビヌで提䟛されたコヌヒヌ。ゆったりした時間が持おた。倜の猿沢の池は栌別の趣。目の前なら、倜の散歩も苊にならない。立地は抜矀ず蚀える。
