Stay was good, room clean, staff excellent but no hot water…Luke warm was as good as we got. Also, no air conditioning based on central controls which I assume are associated with outside temp. Woke up in an extremely hot room. Windows open for cool air but also to street noise. Breakfast option was excellent.

I like that it was quiet and peaceful over there at night, hardly any noise whatsoever except for the ambulance. However, could improve by providing complimentary water bottles in the room so wouldn't have to buy water bottles from the vending machine. Other than that, I had a nice stay and staff were pretty welcoming and made me feel at home.

Great location

The hotel is in a great location next to the Nara Deer Park. We could see the 5-story pagoda of the Kofukuji Temple from our room on the 5th floor. It is the second tallest pagoda in Japan at 50 meters. The front desk staff was very helpful and kind. One very nice woman told us of a special celebration happening the evening we checked in to the hotel. It was a rare event that celebrates the completion of the Kasuga Taisha Shrine that is torn down and rebuilt every 20 years. It was spectacular! The next day, she gave us an oragami deer for our 6 mo. old grandson. She also gave us a postcard of the hotel and some oragami Autumn leaves to take home. There is a coffee/tea/hot cocoa machine in the lobby that is available during set times and is free. The breakfast was very good. Both Japanese and Western foods were on the buffet. The only complaint is that there were bus groups at the hotel both nights and they were at breakfast before the opening time, so these groups got seated for breakfast first and others had to wait for 20-30 minutes to get seated..
