2-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

I highly recommend it!!! There are so many services that are well worth the price, and the cleanliness of all the facilities is the best I've ever experienced in any hostel I've stayed in!! It was incredibly clean. The strong shower pressure is also a plus. I will definitely stay here again when I come to Nara.

This place was so cute and excellent. Staff didn't speak much English, but we were able to communicate easily enough. Room was Japanese Ryokan style. Tatami mats, low table. It had everything needed, shower and toilet in the room too. There is also an onsen that you can reserve for your private use. I asked for a time later at night and they still had one spot available. If you can't get a time then it is ”public use” after 22:00, which seems to mean that you might need to share if others want to join. Location was very good, right in the middle of the historic part of town and a short walk (＜5 min) to Nara park to see the deer. Hotel was very nice and clean. I was here in late December and the air conditioning heater in the room was very good too.

I saw Google word of mouth that the next morning rental cycle was free, but now it was 500 yen in 24 hours. As you all say, the washbasin is too narrow and very hard to use. Most amenities are available, but there are no skin care supplies. Towels are only one bath towel per person. Since there are only two outlets in the room (sorry to overlook it ...), I think it is convenient to bring an extension cord. I was a little worried that there was no emergency contact at night. The parking lot は near に Lushan あります. The coin park next to it was 600 yen for 24 hours. Convenience stores and restaurants are also nearby and the location is very good.

Nice and chill reception. Really feels cozy and informal. Room was clean and simple, tatami mat floor and futon, very comfortable. The warming blanket was amazing! Toilet was super clean, which was such a relief. Very quiet neighbourhood. Close to buss tops and a giant bookshop/starbucks.

Overall, I was quite satisfied, meeting my expectations. The price was relatively reasonable, and the value for money was good. The facilities were complete, with a bathroom and shared washing machine within the B&B. Although there was only one bathroom, I didn't have to worry about long waits. There was also a kitchen available, and the overall cleanliness was excellent. The nearest bus stop is 300 meters away, so transportation and the surrounding area are acceptable. The owner is Chinese and speaks Mandarin without any issues. Room 201 was quite small, practically covered entirely with mattresses, and only accommodated a 28-inch suitcase, though the owner had explained in advance. Note that there are few people nearby, and most of them are elderly, so please keep your voice down both on the way and in the room.

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 hotel is clean and hygienic, with a good surrounding environment. It is very close to the attractions (you can walk there). The hotel front desk is staffed by an old man or a grandmother, who is very friendly! But they don't speak Chinese. The 12-square-meter double room is OK.

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

Read this review carefully because it provides a very specific insight. Good things first. Very clean and amazing planning of the place. I loved the garden. Also, nice to have a well water spot with coffee and tea. You can leave your luggage at the counter and go walking till checking-in. I got 110 small dorm. Bedding was great. Each bed had a rest area for work. Bad things. I was given bed #1, which is near the door. At around 6AM two tenants from upstairs started going in and out non-stop. Hence, I had 0 sleep after 6 AM. Check-out is at 10:00, meaning I lost at least 2-3 hours of sleep. The door is very loud and the wall shook next to my bed. I don’t even mention that sound was also loud upstairs. The owners could oil the door parts and, for example, plan upstairs area better to reduce the noise. So, if you plan to come late and have good sleep this place and its dormitories is unlikely for you.

The sanitation is very good, the service is also good, the location and transportation are very convenient; but the corridor between the room is too small, which makes it feel stuffy, and the sound insulation is not very good.
