Generally ok for couples without family. With family it can be quite noisy as walls are thin and it is outside the temples. At times, got the bell so kids wake up.

We loved the 2nd floor lounge that guests had access to, even though our room was a generous size. It was equipped with toasters, microwave, filtered water, soft drinks, and hot drinks. Our breakfast was delivered to our room each day in little bento boxes - we chose to eat in the aforementioned lounge. The hotel has a wonderful modern Japanese vibe, the rooms were very stylish. The on-site Onsen was very nice after a long day sightseeing. The hotel is very conveniently located for very easy access to Nara Park adjacent to Sarusawa Pond. There is even a Starbucks on site for those need it (even though there’s free coffee upstairs).

We really enjoyed our stay in a Western-style Japanese room. It was more spacious than many in Japan, with comfortable mattresses on a raised platform. There is a public bath in the hotel which was a nice way to relax in the afternoon. The hotel is right next to the entrance to Nara Deer Park and a five or six minute walk from Nara Kintetsu railway station. The area is relatively quiet at night but there are plenty of good dining options and it's convenient for shopping etc.

I got a corner room on 4th floor with nice view of a lake. There was interesting story regarding the lake and in my room, there were Japanese Waka(poem) written as decorations. There is no restaurant and a breakfast provided was a bento box. Food itself was fine.

Location near Nara Park was perfect. Close to restaurants and shopping. It's worth it to get the lake view room. Loved the sanitized slippers so we didn't have to wear dirty shoes in the room. The bathroom sink was in the main sleeping area which was distracting when sleeping with 3 of us and there weren't enough chargers near the beds but these were minor inconveniences.

Sugoi!! Having travelled to Japan six times now, and stayed in practically every type of accommodation from family ryokans, hostels, business hotels and big “western” style hotels…this by far has been the best. Why? The amazingly friendly and helpful staff. The room design has a nice traditional twist for a modern hotel. Would recommend a lake view room too (great for people watching and having a little deck in a hotel in Japan is unheard of). Highly recommend.

The surrounding of the hotel is outstanding and hotel staff are very professional and quick. But there is not curtains in the room, that make the sleep a little bit short. Others are all great. Love the commercial surrounding.
