This was by far our most favourite place to stay. We had the green hills with deer on them as our view. Space between our bed and daughters. Beautiful lay out. Amazing staff. Very good shower. Extremely comfortable sleep. I enjoyed a beer and some cake on the cafe terrace and was transformed to another peaceful world. Just can not recommend this place more.
The hotel lobby and dining area are quite nice and the staff are very polite and helpful. The bedroom was a little cramped, but typical for this price range in Japan. The bed was comfortable and the design very nice. However, I was disappointed with the room cleanliness as the vents in the bathroom were clogged with what looked like a large build up of dust or possibly mould, and there was a large build up of dust on the carpet in the corners. Accessing the hotel is also a bit weird as you have to go down a narrow road that looks like the entrance to a parking lot. I was hoping to be able to walk out into the park facing the hotel but itâs blocked by fences.
We booked a one night stay for our short trip to Nara. I wish I knew how beautiful this hotel was, I wouldâve stayed one more night. The room is well decorated, simple and elegant. It has a sound system that connected to a iPod with music, but I plugged it into my iPhone (lightning port) to play nature music off YouTube. It was rare to find such a spacious room in Japan. The view from the window was everything youâd imagine of Nara: a small pond with deer hanging out on the side. I could stay in this room and relax all day. I would not think twice to book this hotel again when I return to Nara.
Great place to use as base of two weeks exploring Kyoto, Osaka and Kansai region generally. Quiet but convenient location, comfortable clean rooms. Hotel has all basic conveniences, which is great for its size.
I paid extra money for the rooms with the view. I got rooms on the second floor, so the hill in front of the rooms blocked the view. I paid for the rooms with the view but there was a view of a big hill. Others also left reviews about the same problem. It's not worth spending money
