Hotel Dengan Gym di Nara Prefecture, Japan

The hotel enjoys a convenient location and offers spacious rooms. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my stay. However, if you arrive before 3:00 PM, please note that this hotel is different from others: it does not provide luggage storage or delivery to your room. Guests must store their luggage on their own in the luggage room outside the lobby. Knowing this rule in advance can help avoid misunderstandings. During my check-in, the staff refused to store my luggage and told me to do it myself. Meanwhile, at the next counter, the staff helped a Japanese couple store their luggage and said they would deliver it to their room. I was very confused about the unfair treatment. Later, the staff checked and explained that they were VIP members and therefore eligible for this service. I’m glad I asked; otherwise, I would have definitely thought the hotel was discriminating against guests. That said, I still suggest the hotel check guests’ membership status first before directly refusing service.

Hotel is new, room and facilities are fantastic. View from the roof terrace is great! Also thankful for the free shuttle bus to the train station. We have the dinner and breakfast package. Restaurant seems under staffed. We have to wait for empty plates to be replenised in buffet area. During breakfast time, there is long queue for food and often empty plates.

This hotel is in front of the station, in a really good position. We appreciated the amount of amenities, and the excellent breakfast ( 15€ but it worth it ) . Benedict eggs, potato salad, fish in persimmon leaf, miso soup and a lot of other things.

My best appraise is for the services in both of reception and restaurant, especially the staffs from Nepal and Max from Indonesia. Many thanks for the sincere service and patience to my naughty boy, he missed you a lot and he promised to come again next year to see you then. For me, the soundproofing effectiveness is really not friendly, I woke up by the car noises outside many time in the nite😭

Overall, the hotel is new and looks very nice. For family traveling, it is not very convenient, especially if you have strollers as there are places without ramps, only stairs. There is not much amenities you can use in the property without paying extra. With such a high room price, you would expect more. The location is very close to the Nara park and you can see deers inside the property. The included breakfast can be better, I don’t think the portion is enough, but they do provide rice if you need more.
