location was good (few mins walk away from nara deer park) lots of food options nearby (halal & convenience store type too)

A simple and comfortable base right next to the JR station, making it really easy to explore this small but incredibly charming city. My rating suffers a little bit from comparison with one of the same group's Kyoto hotels, which had just a little more space and just a few more extra services like a self-operated baggage storage room - but that might simply be a function of available real estate. In the end, this hotel met all my expectations and I would happily stay there again.

Location was ideal: adjacent to the JR Nara station, yet isolated from the hustle bustle. A well-appointed grocery store was nearby as was a Starbucks located in a historic building. Hotel was similar to other 3-Star accommodations in Japan; compact yet full of modern amenities. Property was recently rebranded as a Spa, yet I didn’t take advantage of low-cost public bathing facility. Having a separate laundromat with microwave and beverage machine were added bonuses. Room had a work desk. WiFi was robust.

This was just a random hotel we booked when we spontaneously decided on staying a night in Nara because it is so close to the train station, but wow, what a great hotel for the price! Beautiful, clean, offers an onsen and workshops and activities on some days. The all the staff was incredibly nice and helpful and spoke English really well. Price-quality wise, this was the best hotel we stayed at on our trip to Japan.

Good hotel a short walk (under 200m) from the train station in a less busy area. The room I had was quite small but comfortable - the bed occupied most of it, so a typical Japanese hotel for travellers. Very good value for money though. I did not use the onsen. Good laundry facility. Staff were quite helpful and their English is much better than my Japanese! Public transport very close by - the main bus area is just on the other side of the train station, from which you can get to all the tourist attractions.

Room was exceptionally spacious, clean and well-equipped. The (interior) onsen was really good - I bathed three times and I enjoyed the entire bath with 2 locals (no one spoke a thing, so quiet) at any one time. One cannot ask for more for a hotel just 1 min walk from JR station, with multiple supermarkets/grocery stores/restaurants next to it. Most people would stay in Kyoto and come to Nara for a day trip. They should do the other way round. Unlike Kyoto hotels, the staff here have exceptionally good manners and all spoke reasonable to good English. The staff really made a big difference!

We chose a room that was bigger and it was pleasant. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was great. It would have been nice if we could have opened the window (we like to sleep in a cooler room), but it was not possible. The hot spring was pleasant too and there was no one when we used it. Would still stay again. It's very convenient to get to the station.

The location to the train and bus station was perfect for us. The staff were really friendly and helpful, we chose a lead in room which was small and compact but had everything we needed, water was provided daily and I love trying out all the hotel offered pyjamas. The bus stops at Nara park which is 4 stops from the hotel and then you can meander through the park and city back towards the hotel at the end of the day.

Nice and clean with good location, reachable from JR NARA station in about 5 mins walk. Friendly staff. It's about 30 minutes walk to Nara park or you can take bus/taxi from pickup point which is 2 min walk from the hotel.
