I had a lovely stay at this hotel located in the heart of Nara, just a stone's throw from the train station. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was always so friendly and helpful. The location couldn't be better as it’s close to all the hotspots in Nara. However, I found the breakfast somewhat lacking in variety, and the amenities could use some upgrades. Overall, it was decent value for money.
