it is old and dated, compared to other hotels we stayed at throughout japan it was in our impression in need of modernisation,
everything worked as it should but with a tiny tv and very small bathroom it just did not appeal,
the beds were hard as usual in lots of hotels but they seemed hard and old.
its location is not very good for your average tourist but they do run a shuttle bus to get you to nara bus station and back at certain times a day.
staff were very helpful,
