Hotel berhampiran Kuil Saidaiji, Nara

We stayed at the penthouse which oversaw the whole Nara city and its cherry blossoms so the view from the room is spectacular. The room has a private outdoor bathtub which is available 24/7. It was so nice to take a hot bath outdoor with the view of Nara. The penthouse also has a fireplace which is a nice spot at night for sky glazing.

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。

This has to be my favourite hotel in Japan. Firstly, the hotel is close to Nara Station, about a 3 minutes walk away. Room is spacious, and plenty of free consumables provided in the lobby. Filtered water dispenser is also available at the lobby. I think there was some food or snacks provided at night, but I came back to the hotel too late, only to find an empty tray with crumbs only. Breakfast is a mix of traditional Japanese cuisine and Western breakfast items, and I was super impressed with the Japanese style breakfast! Please, you have to try the breakfast if you’re staying here.

A hotel full of history as it has been the chosen venue for important events in Nara. Many celebrities had stayed in this hotel including Albert Einstein. Tried the rice lager at the tea house which is very good tgough some may find it not strong enough. The vicinity is nice. It is within waljing distance of the famous Nara Park. The room is spacious. Shuttle bus service to Nara station is excellent. Very helpful staff. An enjoyable stay indeed!

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 😊

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.

Прекрасное место в самом центре Нары. До метро, вокзала и парков — рукой подать. Нас встретили очень тепло и быстро заселили. Безумно понравилась фишка с выбором подушек и ”косметическим баром” на ресепшн (маски для лица — отдельный восторг!). Завтраки могли бы быть поинтереснее и разнообразнее, но это не испортило общего впечатления. Нара великолепна, и этот отель помог нам прочувствовать её красоту в полной мере. С удовольствием вернемся!

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.

Good location, facilities and amenities. The room was a bit cramped for 2 people with 2 medium luggage, but if you travel light it was a nice hotel for short stays 👍

Read this review carefully because it provides a very specific insight. Good things first. Very clean and amazing planning of the place. I loved the garden. Also, nice to have a well water spot with coffee and tea. You can leave your luggage at the counter and go walking till checking-in. I got 110 small dorm. Bedding was great. Each bed had a rest area for work. Bad things. I was given bed #1, which is near the door. At around 6AM two tenants from upstairs started going in and out non-stop. Hence, I had 0 sleep after 6 AM. Check-out is at 10:00, meaning I lost at least 2-3 hours of sleep. The door is very loud and the wall shook next to my bed. I don’t even mention that sound was also loud upstairs. The owners could oil the door parts and, for example, plan upstairs area better to reduce the noise. So, if you plan to come late and have good sleep this place and its dormitories is unlikely for you.
