This APA Hotel is a 5-minute walk to the Kintetsu-Nara station and 8 minutes to JR Nara station. It's also 5 minutes from Kōfuku-ji and Sarusawa Pond (aka Nara Pond), with Nara Park just a little further in. Surrounding the hotel are shops of all sorts, and restaurants to satisfy any appetite. I will say that the restaurant prices are reasonable, considering the close proximity to tourist attractions. The hotel also offers laundry machines; perfect for travellers who don't like to bring a lot of clothes with them (like myself). Overall I was very satisfied with my stay. A much better experience than the APA Hotel in Osaka that I stayed at for part of my trip.

The air conditioning is on fan mode, as the information on the TV reflected. But that made the room really stuffy. Granted, it's autumn, and weather is cold outside, but having fan mode in an enclosed space is really not conducive for a good rest. We have to keep the window slightly open to regulate the tempreture, which works thankfully. Otherwise, everything else is good!
