Hotel 2-Star di Nara Prefecture, Japan

Located a bit west of Nara, the Chinese owner is very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They also offer bike rentals, and the prices are very affordable. Overall, it's a pretty good option.

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.

Pleasant stay with my husband, mum and auntie. The place was clean and very near the the shopping street. There is no lift, elderly might have trouble with their heavy luggage. The 2 private onsen bath has to be 'reserved' by taking the timing key chains at the counter.

The hotel is located right next to Nara Park, but it's a 20-minute uphill walk from Nara Station, which can be quite tiring if you're lugging luggage. The room is a good size, and I appreciate the separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom.

It’s a really lovely old Japanese house, but it’s really not been made over into a guest house at all. 1. There are pictures of a bath. It is not in the hotel it is just a separate public bath you have to pay for… 2. They charge for everything including “renting” towels and yukata 3. No noise blocking at all and kids are allowed. It sounds like they are in your room 4. Contactless check in doesn’t feel very safe

Idealy located to visit Shigisan, a 5min walk from the entrance ! A very pleasant Onsen (indoor and Outdoor) is in the hotel. Note however that they don't serve diner and all restaurants are closed in the evening, so make sure you plan accordingly !

The stay experience exceeded expectations! Five-star recommendation for this treasure hotel! This stay completely refreshed my perception of business hotels! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was impressed by the hotel's modern and simple style and the warm and thoughtful service of the staff. The front desk lady smiled kindly and reminded me of the surrounding traffic routes when checking in. The details were perfect! The room was even more surprising! The room was spacious and bright, the floor-to-ceiling windows had a wide view, and the softness of the bedding was comparable to the Simmons mattress at home. The service was really heartwarming.

The location of the hotel is very good, a 5-minute walk from JR Nara Station, just across from Matsuya to the guesthotel. B&B is tired and the hotel is officially connected to the passport network. The boss and the proprietress have super good English, and there is no pressure to communicate. They will show you how to play, how to take a car, etc., jr station to 78 of Toshodai Temple and ring 1 to Nara Park Both roads are very convenient. You can buy one-day pass bus tickets directly at the hotel, and you can also rent bicycles. The hotel provides bath towels, additional toothbrushes and other charges (100en), garbage bags will be replaced, simple cleaning and make bed will be changed, bedding will be replaced if staying more than three days, wifi is available, toilet paper is enough. The hot water is plentiful and hot, and the water flow is not small. The rooms are always small but complete in Japanese style. They are clean and tidy, separated from dry and wet, with thoughtful layout. The doors and access control are all electronic locks. The washbasin is no hotwater and a bit small. It can be used as a washbasin. You have to go to the bathroom to wash your face with hot water. It is not a big problem if it is not cold. There are free comics to watch in the public area, free coffee, tea and drinking water, kitchens are available, the parking lot next to it is cheap at 500en for 24h, there is a Matsuya opposite the breakfast, and there are drinks vending machines downstairs. Suitable for backpackers and young travelers who are self-sufficient and self-sufficient. The room should not be able to add an extra bed. The rooms are kept quiet for each other, not suitable for families with noisy children. The price/performance ratio is very high, and I will choose to live next time I come to Nara.

Check-in after 15:00. The staff are very friendly, including those who speak English at a sufficient level so that you can understand each other without a translator. The room is spacious, heated/cooled by air conditioning. There is also a kotatsu, under which it is very comfortable to sit, a tea set, including a kettle. Yukata and khvori are very beautiful and comfortable. In the room there is also a memo for foreigners on the correct visit to the onsen (be sure to read it, this is important). There are only two onsen - one large with a view of the river (there are curtains) and one smaller without windows. The water is moderately hot, not scalding. As a dinner, kaiseki was provided with a change of dishes - it was very tasty and VERY much (honestly, we could not eat everything, since we usually eat much less, for which we apologize to the staff)

I have been to Nara several times and I try a different hotel every time. Having stayed here, I think I will stay here again when I come to Nara in the future. As others said, there were deer outside the door in the morning, and the guy at the front desk spoke very good English. As for parking service, you can rent it from the grocery store opposite
