Homestays σε Nara Prefecture, Japan

A fantastic local hotel, popular with both locals and international guests. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast for the half-board option was a bit lacking, but dinner was excellent. We had booked a Japanese suite with a view of the Five-Story Pagoda, but unfortunately, the pagoda is under renovation until 2034, so the view was a bit compromised. Otherwise, everything was great. Deer were everywhere right outside, and the location was superb.

Pros: The location is quite good, and I liked the free laundry facilities. The accommodation itself was also unique (two stories), which was nice. Cons: The Wi-Fi isn't very good.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, conveniently close to Nara Kintetsu Station and surrounded by numerous restaurants offering a diverse range of food options. It's also very near Nara Park, where you can easily spot the deer with just a short walk. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meals served were also of good quality. A minor point for improvement would be the hallway carpets, which could use more frequent cleaning. The onsen (hot spring) facilities were also excellent and very clean. However, the mineral concentration of the hot spring water felt a bit low!

位置看起來有點兒偏，但實際離奈良公園很近，出門不小心就能看到鹿。 房間乾淨又寬敞，但入住離開都無人工服務。適應之後感覺很不錯。帶孩子玩，很喜歡日式榻榻米。 還配有微波爐和電磁爐，可短住。 門口的小院子雖小但設計得很好。還可以免費停車。 唯一的不足是沒有早餐。要自己準備。 瑕不掩瑜，下次來還會住這裏。

I had a very satisfying stay. The accommodation is two stories. On the first floor, there's a kitchen and living room, one double bedroom, a toilet, and a shower room. The second floor has three beds, a toilet, a shower room, and even a small kitchenette. The space is very generous. Both floors have heating, which made our winter stay very comfortable. There's a car park just a 30-second walk away, and it costs 700 yen for an overnight stay. You can reach Nara Kintetsu Station just by walking out of the alley. The location is super convenient, and you can walk to 7-11 and Lawson. The kitchen is fully equipped, and it even has a gas stove.

Hotel location is a bit far from the subway station, if you drag the suitcase, it is more difficult, there is a slope. I lived in the 303 with an open-air hot spring room. The room environment was quite good, but there was a wooden ceiling above the hot spring pool, but there was often a bird's eye view to stay. If you shit, you just fell into the hot spring... I saw that there was feces in the bathtub. In the end, there was no hot spring. But the waiter service is very thoughtful, this gives full marks. Every table can also order songs when eating, this has a surprise.

We went by car! There was a parking lot where guests could park for free. The location was also great, as it was only about a 15-minute walk to Todaiji Temple. We booked a room with dinner and breakfast included, and both were delicious and very satisfying (;;) They provided petit cakes in the evening, which we enjoyed eating while doodling in our memory notebook! They even have a hot spring! The inside of the hotel was very clean, and everything was great, so we were very satisfied! If I come to Nara again, I'd love to stay here!

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.

The hotel is conveniently located near the station in a quiet area. You can walk to Nara Park and the nearest sights. The room had a teapot, tea, plastic glasses (which is uncomfortable), a fan, a lingerie dryer, bathrooms, lots of towels. But on the layer floor where the bed is very dusty. All the windows and curtains are in dust. Appended a photo.
