"A beautiful spot in the forest, although just a bit far from the sights in Nara. The staff was lovely and the room quite comfortable, by Western standards for a Japanese room (although the futons were by far the hardest and most uncomfortable of the three ryokans we visited). The meals lived up to the reviews, beautifully presented true kaiseki."

"Absolutely gorgeous place, super close to Nara park. After hiking to Mount Wakakusa my wife and I enjoyed the private hot springs. It was surreal enjoying the hot water while listening to the rain in the rock garden area. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Nara. "

"This was a simply magnificent Hotel. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the service was exceptional. The breakfast was superb and the roof top terrace amazing."

"We had a lovely time here! We were travelling by public transport, and this spot is a little of out of the way, but they sent a shuttle to the train station and it was easy to arrive. It was not clear from their website that the restaurant would not be open for dinner, and the closest restaurant by foot (other than McDonald's) was a 30 minute walk away. That was no problem; we had a nice walk, a great dinner, and really loved the onsen!"

"Amazing hotel and super spacious rooms! The bathroom was the main thing that stood out as it has a regular shower as well as a bath tub. The room also came with bath salts so the baths were amazing. 3 people managed to stay here comfortably without any problems with luggage space. Would definitely recommend."
"Hotel very convenient as it just outside the JR exit. Room size may be a bit smaller but luggage can put under the bed. Bathroom a bit small but have a small bathtub. Weird thing is Air Con temperature can’t be adjusted as it a centralised. So sometime at night sleeping feel a bit hot. Over all is okay "
"We had a room with a queen bed & 2 twin beds. To our surprise, we had 2 bathrooms for us to use. It was a convenient. Our room was spacious- got a space for a 2 seater sofa to relax in. Room was clean. Staff were great! Breakfast had a good variety. Laundry was convenient. We would stay here again. "
"The entire staff at Swissotel was amazing! I was continually impressed with the level of service and willingness to help with any and everything. The best customer service I have experienced at a hotel (and I travel 150+ days a year)"
