It is near the train rail so I could hear the train passing. It wasn’t a problem for me, but I can imagine it could problematic for other people.

This hotel is incredible! Onsen, Sauna included and open during the night. This is the dream! In addition, there is tatami in the floor giving this very nice Japanese touch! If you plan to stay 1-2 day in Nara, I would recommend to add an additional day to enjoy the hotel installation. 🤩

Great location as we did not expect the hotel is just located right next to the Nara Station. We were carrying big luggages but the hotel is just so accessible. Across the road, it's busiest street of Nara. All the way till the end you can find the legendary mochi place. But what makes the stay experience so great is that there's tatami flooring in the entire hotel. There's also free flow ice-cream provided after onsen.

The pillows were hard.

It was so relaxing to have an onsen bath after a day of walking around. The complimentary noodles and ice cream were a treat. Our room was quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Access to the massage chairs while I waited for my laundry to finish was bliss.

Enjoyed the onsen. Excellent location, near the railway station.

We liked everything

We booked this hotel because it was conveniently close to the railway station, was relatively inexpensive and had positive reviews. We enjoyed staying there. The staff were friendly. The location was good (a little away from the busy tourist area) and the hotel was very clean and had good amenities. The onsen was excellent, as was the massage chair. We were walking distance from great places to eat too.

Great Location, friendly staff, great public bath. Useful commodities in thr room.

Nothing really

The staff members were extremely kind, breakfast and free noodle was really delicious and the hot spring was just about the right size for the number of people using it. It was also literally a good distance away from nara park. A nice walk around the hotel!

Due to the proximity to the train station, some rooms face the train tracks and you can hear the trains going by. Not a big problem for me but you might want to request for a room on the other sides if you are a light sleeper. Pillows are super flat and hard. My neck felt a little sore after the first night but I was able to request for higher pillows from the front desk the next day. Future nights were very comfortable. The hotel can consider including a tracker on the massage chairs. There is an option for daily housekeeping (you can choose via the TV) and the hotel provides a night wear (shirt and pants) which you can use throughout the hotel but I don’t think the old set gets replaced with a new one during housekeeping. Not a big issue though as you can just request for a new set at the front desk.

Just 5 min away from JR Nara Station (you can see the hotel right after you exit the station). It was very convenient for those with luggage as the road to the hotel is quite smooth, we only had to cross 1 street. I loved the onsen, sauna and massage chairs. There are free ice creams and a meiji milk vending machine (140 yen each), which are great after a warm bath. Washing machines are free to use, and the dryers cost 100 yen for 10 min. The evening ramen was yummy as well and you can request for more than a bowl if you are hungry. There are free orange juice, coke, oolong tea, fanta etc. too. The hotel staff were warm and welcoming. Other than Japanese, some speak English and Chinese. So communication was very smooth. There is a TV in the room which shared live status of the hotel’s shared areas like how crowded were the onsen and restaurant, as well as which washing machines / dryers were in use and for how long. I really appreciated this as I could pick a timing to go down and have the facilities ready for use. The blackout curtains were so effective that I overslept…

As someone with tattoos I wasn't able to use the hot spring which was disappointing

Very tranquil, centrally located right next to the station. Very friendly staff and a great Japanese inn style

A nice modern hotel immediately outside Nara JR train station. Outside the hotel is a busy shopping street leading to the main tourist attractions in Nara with plenty restaurants to choose from. Hotel breakfast was supper tasty. We had a good time in Nara and with the hotel.

I do find it a bit pricey. I wish price can be cheaper. Also for the massage chairs, there are only two chairs to be shared amongst all the guests. Breakfast is good, but pricey.

It is really near the station, maybe just 5-10min walk. Amazingly clean. Staff is super nice and attentive. Make sure you use all the amenities to make sure money is well spent! (E.g. free laundry machine use, onsen, ice sticks)

Pillows were way too hard for my liking

Onsen

Room looked exactly like the pictures with a blend of modern and traditional design. We could see the square and the station when we opened the window which was nice. Location was right next to the train station so super convenient. Onsen experience was fantastic along with the late night noodles and ice blocks. Don't forget to get the breakfast option, it was superb. Highly recommend

Excellent location, adjacent to the square of the train station and Nara Park, yet the rooms are quiet. Efficient staff, most but not all speak English. Pleasant onsen. Every evening, we received a delicious hot pot soup in the dining room. Several laundry and drying machines. Luggage delivery service from the hotel.

Onsen was very good , great for a soak after a big day walking , the best Onsen we experienced in japan.

Nothing, really.

Hotel was located just in front of the JR station and the limousine airport bus which we took was close by too. We enjoyed the onsen, free ice cream, yakult and the ramen which were all free. Breakfast though mostly Japanese, was varied and good.

Noise from the trains

Near the train station.

Onsen is fantastic, super relaxing. Does get busy so plan your visit wisely if you dont like the crowd. Rooms are super clean, beds are super comfy and the staff very polite and helpful. Really was an amazing way to finish my stay in Japan! Location is great, right by the station (but isnt noisy) and a 20/30 min walk to Nara Park! Amazing :-)

Far from Nara park

Onsen and location

Stayed in May 2024

This hotel was everything. Close to bus/treinstation to go around everywhere JR and local. Everything is within walking distance, although the park is 30 min walk on a easy pace, hence the local busses. Good food around and the hotel with it's interior and tatami gives you a real nice traditional experience. Futon where you are sleeping on are comfortable and the better ones we've slept on so far, although if you're bigger than 1m 80 it can become a bit small. Being able to use an onsen was really nice as well, the fact that they had bandages to cover small tattoos is really helpful as well. Would recommend this hotel to everyone.
