Hotel Romantik di Nara

DO NOT STAY HERE unless you want your baby’s cot taken away and they force you to have your baby sleep on the floor and be squashed! That is exactly what they did to us while my baby was still sleeping in her cot they wanted to take away my baby’s cot leaving her bed less. Where would my baby sleep when they took my cot away ?! The hotel doesn’t care about you and the service is terrible. I told them months before booking I needed a cot which they assured me they had. Then the hotel proceeded to take away my baby’s cot during our 2 week stay leaving my baby in unsafe sleeping conditions as she had NO WHERE TO SLEEP!!! The service here is terrible. You are better off staying somewhere else. They are very inhumane to treat a baby like that and leave a baby bed less to sleep on the floor. My baby is unable to sleep in our bed as we are heavy sleepers and do not want to squash her while we slept. This hotel is terrible! DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I am so baffled that an entire big hotel only has 1 cot that guests have to fight over? And even when you booked the cot first and have your baby sleeping in the cot first the hotel would still take your baby’s cot away and leaving your baby bed less!!!! Utterly disgusting and unacceptable!!! I want a full refund based upon the lie that they told me that there is a cot available to use when there is not!!! To all families: DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

We stayed one night in FUFU Nara on the way from Tokyo to Kyoto. We took a special train - Aoniyoshi from Kyoto to Nara and it was very enjoyable ride. We took a taxi from Kintetsu Nara station to the hotel. Hotel staff greeted us right away and kept the our luggage for us until the check-in time. It is located next to Ukimido and we were able to visit Todaiji and the giant Buddha before the check-in. Once we return, we had a nice cold welcome drink. Hotel staff were very professional and friendly. It was obvious that they take a great pride on performing their tasks. Our room was super clean and modern with some Japanese touches. And the hot tub on the balcony was amazing. We contemplated between FUFU and the new Shisui, but we were very glad that we chose FUFU. At FUFU, I believe all rooms are suites and come with the private open air onsen. We did read some reviews on the noise. We did not notice too much especially after dodging so many screaming school children at Todaiji. At night, we had teppan yaki dinner for our anniversary. It was pretty cool to dress in yukata with a hanten jacket. The sandals were comfortable, also. We walked through the bamboo garden to get to the restaurant. Our chef was friendly and food was delicious. With sake pairing, we had a great time. Breakfast was served at the same restaurant, and the walk was beautiful in the morning. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. The lady who served us explained each dish very politely. It's hard to believe they are so helpful even without any tips. Staying at FUFU made our stay in Nara very special.

This is the first hotel I left before my stay was over literally in decades - and as it was a no-frills booking, of course no money back. The location isn't half as good as people in the reviews make it out to be; it's a big mass hotel with a Japanese theme only; it's two stars at best (here three; the booking website gave four). The real problem was the rundown, smelly, not deeply cleaned room, and I get - and chose - the Japanese style, but that doesn't mean you won't have any English information at all, nor functionable electricity plugs, and normally if you need to lie down and rest, a futon bed will be made up for you. When arriving, the staff member showing me the room couldn't open the door for five minutes because of the lock, and that stayed symbolical. As the worst was the unfriendly (male) reception staff, the lowest level of hospitality ever, unprofessional to the max - I think they didn't try to accommodate me (literally and figuratively) as they thought if I'd leave they'd keep the money but could rerent the room, as there was some festival in town. Never looking for solutions, always thinking from convenience from their side - from useless waiting to always having better things to do to talk to guests to not even trying to help in any way to create a nice stay. It's rare in Japan that people with an unhospitable attitude work in hospitality. I'm usually neither grouchy nor unduly demanding, as my long track record of tripadvisor reviews shows - this was really a lowpoint of lodging in my life, and one of two of the worst places I ever stayed in East Asia. I was really glad to leave and be back on the train to Kyoto, and I recommend anyone to book a nice Ryokan or a good global-Western hotel in Nara instead.

Hotel paling mahal sepanjang perjalanan. Saya mendapat kejutan apabila saya bangun pada waktu pagi. Kebetulan saya berjumpa dengan sang kancil dan anak itu sangat gembira. Makanannya sangat enak, dan saya memberikan aiskrim kepada kanak-kanak itu. Kanak-kanak itu sangat gembira. Tetapi tidak ada TV di hotel dan kurang hiburan

ロケーションとテラスで過ごせることの2点でこちらに決めました。 奈良国立博物館まで歩いて8分程度、もう少し行けば東大寺も近いです。 あの辺りを歩いて観光するには良い立地だと思いますし、途中に通る道も風情があって良いです。 スタッフさんたちは皆さん感じが良く、気分良く過ごせました。 特に、私がカフェの無料ドリンクについてちゃんと理解していなかったのを察して、説明してくださった女性のスタッフさんが親切でした。 チェックイン後、テラスに出て目の前の猿沢池と興福寺の眺めをゆったり座って楽しみましたが、すごく贅沢な気分になれました。 建物の1階にスターバックスがあるので、そこで買ったドリンクをテラスに持ち込むことも可能だそうです。 ホテル室内は清潔で、夜になれば観光客も近くからいなくなりますし静かです。内装もお洒落ですし、部屋は広々していました。 窓の障子を開けると目の前に三重塔が。 ただ、朝6時にお寺の鐘の音で目が覚めてしまいました。まあそれも奈良の醍醐味でしょうか。 大浴場は小ぶりですが、平日の利用だったためか貸切り状態で使えてラッキーでした。シャンプーが選べるのも楽しかったです。 こちらは朝食や夕食を出すレストランがない代わりに、予約時に外注らしき朝食弁当を注文できました。これがすごく美味しくて大正解でした。 夕食も近辺にたくさん美味しいお店があるので、特に問題を感じませんでした。 なお、地下には飲み物の自販機もありますし、近いところにコンビニもありますので荷物が少なくても困りません。 過不足のないサービスと清潔な部屋や寝具と、満足しました。 マイカーで訪れる場合のみ、注意点があります。 ホテル提携の有料駐車場だけは大変でした。土日は歩行者天国になるゾーンがある関係で、とんでもなく狭い道からしか辿り着けないのです。 あらかじめそれは調べておいたので、小さい軽自動車を使用しており事なきを得ましたがこれが3ナンバーの車だったらどうなっていたことか……。 次回来訪時には別の駐車場を使用するか、電車で行くことにします。

ゴージャスな展望が部屋から見られるホテルでした。広縁の椅子がほぼ背もたれなしなのでガッカリしたのですが、そのおかげで窓よりのベッドに寝転んだままで新日本三大夜景のひとつである若草山からの夜景が見られます。 娘カップルと2室取って、我々の部屋を集合場所にしようとしたのですが、和洋室の畳は硬く、椅子は背もたれなしなので、結局ロビーで集まりました。暖炉のぐるりのソファが特等席ですが、他のソファにはちょっとしたゲームがあり、みんなで楽しめました。セルフのフリーコーヒーはホットとアイスがあり、他はアイスティとアップルジュースあり。夜には暖炉の火でマシュマロを炙ってクラッカーに挟んでスモアにして食べることもできます。 夜9:00からの無料の星空鑑賞ツアーでは、180度の夜景が山頂からみられます。夕食を6:30からにしたのですが、食べるスピードも給仕も決して遅くはないのに時間ギリギリでした(最後に急いで8:45終了)ので、ツアーを申し込むなら6:00までの開始がオススメです。 展望風呂は部屋単位で一コマ50分いただけ、充分でした。バスタブから湯が溢れると、自動的に給湯されます。シャワーブース完備ですが湯温が安定せず、極端に節水仕様なので、やや使いにくかったです。シャンプーなどは元より、クレンジングから洗顔保湿まで揃っています。脱衣エリアにも洗面台があるので、そこでメイクを落とせます。これ、個別の貸し切り風呂では無いこともあるので、、。 タオル、バスタオル、体を洗う目の粗い布、水がめいめいのカゴにセットされていました。 部屋のコンセントは使いやすい位置に充分量ありました。一つのベッドに1コンセントと1 typeA USBポートです。 コーヒーは1人2パック、お茶は2種類各3パック置いてあり、水のペットボトルは1人1本です。 食事も私にとっては贅を尽くした美味しいものでした。

We had a wonderful time. This hotel is not like the others. Starting with the check in, where an employee literally sat down with us and walked us through all the aspects of the stay. I really appreciated the time taken for that. The design of the room was special, too. Spacious and friendly. The chicken in the inner ward gave it all a very particular vibe. Staff was very attentive. The Japanese breakfast was prepared with much attention to details. The lounge, with the possibility to have drinks throughout the afternoon and evening gave the stay an overall very relaxed feeling, almost a feeling of being at home. If I come back to Nara, I would certainly choose Setre again.

This ryokan was amazing, the food the location the atmosphere. The public sento in the building was beautiful and the private tub in our room was amazing as well. Perfect service, great amenities, we even got a little gift! I can only recommend this place if you're looking for something truly special. Get the dinner and breakfast here, trust me!!!

We've just come back from a wonderful holiday in Japan and had our first ryoken experience with Kotonoydo Musashino. Their website really helps you select the apartment that's most appropriate for you. We had selected the Yamabuki room. This is actually a little house that is set a little apart from the main building but this means that you've got great privacy and quiet. As part of the booking, you can select a dinner plan - definately the highlight for us! More on this later. If you have any dietary requirement, let them know. They can certainly accomodate you. On arrival, ladies are offered a choice of yukata. Men - you have yukata in the room. You will be asked if you would like to have breakfast served in your room or (and I would recommend this) if you'd like to have breakfast in the park opposite the Ryoken. You're shown the facilities and of course, the Onsen, before being shown to your room. This ryoken only had one shared bath type (seperate for males and females) but some rooms have their own private baths too - so select the room type that you're looking for. You are staying in Ryoken, you are not staying in a high-end Western hotel - and that's WHY you're choosing a Ryoken like this. Its all about the experience. You'll be served proper Matcha tea on arrival in your room before getting into your yukata. Make use of the Onsen (pay attention to bathing etiquette!). And then comes the meal. Your room attendant will come and serve your kaiseki meal, course by course - savour and enjoy! Our attendant (Miya-san) did a great job and together we muddled through my rudimentary Japanese and her English. After dinner, go back to the Onsen and relax while your room attendant changes the room for sleeping, laying out the beds and sheets for you. Now - is sleeping on a tatami mat the most comfortable experience? No - but it is an experience! In the morning, head back to the Onsen for a great 'wake-up' before going to reception to collect your breakfast bento box and head over to the park. We had the entire park to ourselves, except for a few deer, with a wonderful view down into Nara. We only stayed one night but you could certainly use this Ryoken as a base if your spending more time to explore Nara. Great hospitality and great memories! Highly recommended.

翌日吉野山に早朝から用事がある為このホテルに宿泊。ロビーは9階にあり、客室は5-9階とちょっと変則な構成。部屋はとても綺麗で清潔である。客室の窓は大きなハメ*しで周りに高いビルがない為眺望がとても良い。10階のお風呂にも同じことが言える。東側の眺めが最高である。雨天の時に露天風呂には屋根がない為入りにくいか？ 朝食は種類がとても豊富。西側に大きなハメ*しの窓があり良い眺めを食べながら食事ができる。精算がない場合はフロントによる必要はない。奈良県南部旅行にはとても使い勝手が良いホテルである。 周辺に居酒屋は沢山あるが夜開いているスーパーはないので注意。
