Clean environment, staff and service are great. Walkable to Nara Park. Only thing is the room is too small for 3 people.

Stayed here for one night and it was a great experience. From the moment you walk in, you can sense the traditional Japanese atmosphere. No shoes are allowed inside but there are lots of lockers available for shoes. Staff clean your luggage as you check in. Room felt very authentic however the pillows were definitely uncomfortable (too low and only one each!). Basic bathroom with a shower, no bath. No curtains in the room so lots of light in the morning. The main attraction for this hotel is probably the onsen. It was a great experience! I have small tattoos but the staff were kind and gave me their own tattoo cover stickers which worked great and allowed me to enter the onsen. Didn’t get a chance to try the food but was a good experience overall. Great location to Nara station and short walks to main attractions.

The onsen was fantastic, the breakfast great, the room was stylish and well organized. This is the best hotel i have ever stayed in. The 930 pm ramen was perfect. After staying in the onsen in the afternoon, that was all i wanted. Wearing the yukata everehere gave the large hotel a warm feeling. Staff was very professional.

Staff was great! The onsen hotel very nice with private options was awesome. Nara park is about 18 mins waking. The downside is that is very far from osaka main train station. So it is a long drive or even long train ride.

Wonderful hotel. Very convenient. Right across from Nara station (and only about 15 mins walk from Kintetsu station). Also across Starbucks and Tourist information center. Hotel is very clean, everyone takes off their shoes at the lobby, and they provide you with a shoe locker. Walk around the hotel/ rooms with no shoes. Great onsen (indoor and outdoor)/ separate for men and women. Great Japanese breakfast buffet. Very convenient location/ close to everything, walking distance to Nara Park. Highly recommended. Will return.

The rooms are average size, but this hotel has something special. The Onsen is also very good.

The Ryokan decore, breakfast buffet, modern rooms and the public bath (a.k.a. Onsen) were the best during our 2 weeks in Japan. Super recommended!
