Hotel berhampiran Kuil Gango-ji, Nara

酒店地理位置優越，走5分鐘就是近鐵站，美食、葯粧、便利店鱗次櫛比，門口還有可愛的小鹿向你點頭鞠躬。日式風格的房間很大很漂亮，還自帶一個小陽台，工作人員都很熱情，酒店大堂一位講中文的先生特別耐心、周到地為我們解介酒店服務和周邊環境。早上自助餐讓我記憶深刻，精緻、美味、可口。以後還會再來住，也會建議好朋友來住。

Wonderful stay with excellent food, but a bizarre late-night experience We had a generally fantastic stay at ANDO Hotel Nara Wakakusayama. The dining experience was exceptional—both the breakfast and dinner were incredibly delicious and well-prepared. We also highly recommend the nighttime stargazing activity. The hotel thoughtfully provided warm tea for everyone during the session, which was a very sweet and cozy touch. The hospitality was truly top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly, and since they knew we were celebrating my wife’s birthday, they went out of their way to make special arrangements for us. It made our celebration very memorable. However, there was one very bizarre issue during the night. Between 2 AM and 4 AM, we heard constant, loud running footsteps coming from the floor above. It was so loud that it almost sounded like someone was running right inside our room. The weirdest part is that the space directly above our room was supposed to be the hotel lobby or the parking lot. We just had to convince ourselves that it was some energetic small animals running around up there! Overall, it is a beautiful hotel with amazing service and food, though the late-night noise was definitely a bit spooky and affected our sleep.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to JR Nara Station, making it easy to purchase all your travel tickets, including airport bus tickets. The surrounding area is very convenient, with a grocery store, a drugstore, and several nice, affordable dining options nearby. There is also a 4-hour open bar in the evening where you can try a variety of Japanese and international alcoholic beverages. The hotel also features an onsen with both indoor and outdoor areas, which was quite popular among guests.

Saya telah menginap di Piazza Hotel Nara banyak kali, tetapi ini adalah kali pertama saya menginap di bilik suite. Akhirnya saya sangat berpuas hati. Saya dapat menginap pada kadar yang lebih murah sedikit, dan kemudahan dan kemudahan bilik semuanya sangat memuaskan. Sinki dan bilik mandi adalah sangat luas, dan syampu, sabun badan dan perapi semuanya dalam botol jenama pakai buang kecil yang mudah digunakan. Terdapat sekatan yang baik antara ruang tamu dan bilik tidur, jadi saya dapat berehat dengan sangat selesa. Lain kali, saya ingin tinggal di suite lagi apabila saya mempunyai masa untuk berehat dengan seluruh keluarga saya.

To be honest I was extremely skeptical about this place, but daughter wanted to meet the deer…… The hike from the station with 10 kilo small suitcase was 1.8 kilometers or fitness to be blunt but the facilities and the wonderful staff made up for everything. The shared facilities were very well maintained and clean, and although it was very first time for me to stay such accommodation, if all shared facilities can be as great as this one, I am in 😊

A question to think about, ‘What makes a hotel a luxury one?’ To me, it’s luxury because of the hospitality of the staff, quality of the property and the food they provided totally exceed travellers’ expectations, and as a result, we would love to pay more for the experience. Some staff really tried their very best to help me during my stay while some just didn’t. Upon arrival, I tried to communicate with the staff that I’d like to cancel my third night’s dinner because of the change of my plan. At first, I booked six meals in total and I’d only want to cancel one dinner and they said I needed to pay 100% for the cancelled meal because they have already bought the ingredients. Okay, I tried to understand that because they had already taken away my credit card and there’s nothing I could do about that and I thought it must be a very nice meal and that’s why they insisted that. Disappointingly, the portion was so small and paying the same amount of money I could get so much better food in 虹夕諾雅 or any other five star onsen hotels in Japan. As a result, I went to bed feeling hungry and eating the snacks I bought for myself :( The food portions are like a bento instead of a proper meal. ) Also, the Western style breakfast was so overpriced and the avocado in the omelette was not fresh at all. One more thing to note is that the complimentary champagne service they provided to their guests. It’s a nice experience but maybe I’m just a lady travelling alone and I couldn’t speak Japanese at all, the waitress didn’t serve me the same way as she served other people in the cafe. When all of them got two glasses of free drinks, one cocktail and one champagne, she only gave me one champagne and didn’t offer me the cocktail. And the day after, there was a nice staff who served me properly and I finally realized that I am entitled to two drinks. (Sigh)The experience was like buying a Chanel bag. The bag was pricey but the chain of the bag just suddenly fall apart while you are using it for the very first time. My advice is: Don’t use their catering services especially for the in-room dining plan. There are so many better choices out there in the city. The room and the service of the staff are great tho.

Sangat dekat dengan tarikan Nara dan berjalan kaki singkat dari restoran dan bar. Bilik-biliknya sangat luas. Kakitangan juga sangat membantu dan pelbagai bahasa. Mereka juga mempunyai tempat urut kaki batu yang dipanaskan selepas seharian berjalan di kuil.

Отель расположен удобно, недалеко от станции в тихом районе. Пешком можно дойти до парка Нара и ближайших достопримечательностей. В номере был чайник, чай, стаканчики пластиковые (что неудобно), фен, сушилка для белья, ванные принадлежности, много полотенец. Но на ярусном этаже где кровать очень пыльно. Всё окно и занавески в пыли. Приложила фото.

It was marvellous to go by night at the public bath. The arrival with the letter for us in the mailing box was perfect. The old japanese house is beautiful. We learned a little bit the japanese habits. The rice pudding in the morning was perfect. Thank you so mutch. Jeanne Marie and 3 sons

The room was really small. I was alone so it's ok for me but I can't imagine two people sharing a room, it would have been very tight. The communal bath is very good tho. So much better to shower there instead. The location is also not as near to the station as I would like it. It's an average kind of hotel. Nothing great but also nothing to complain about.
