Easily one of, if not the nicest hotels I've stayed in, to the point where i was looking for hidden costs for things because of how cheap it was to book. Thankfully, there wasn't any, and it is just an awesome hotel. Highly recommend if you are planning on staying in Nara.

This new and modern hotel features rooms that are a bit larger than the typical size in Japan. The service from the front desk and housekeeping staff was outstanding. My only concern during the stay was the limited parking available at the hotel.
