Great value”
Great location, 2 minutes walk from JR Nara station. Close to supermarket, bakery, and eateries located in the station. Staff is excellent, courteous and helpful, very typical of Japanese customer service which is the best in the world. Room is larger than a business hotel and the hallways are much wider also. Laundry facilities are located on 2 floors and there is use of a microwave oven on one floor . Although the hotel is located near the train station it was very quiet. The breakfast (800 yen) was excellent with choices (it's a buffet) of healthy Japanese foods (including natto!) or western food (bread, sausages, egg, etc)

Comfortable and Affordable”
The location was very convenient since it is just a minute walk from JR Nara station. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I have stayed for a business trip and the rate was affordable given then excellent service and comfort.

Awesome Hotel 👍”
This hotel was so cozy and everyone was so nice. The free breakfast was one of the best I've ever had, they change it up everyday and it is a nice homecooked meal. It's a bit tricky to find the hotel at first, but it is very close to the train station and many eateries which was very convenient! I loved it here and would definitely stay again next time I'm in Nara!

Hotel was very well situated right next to the JR train station making it easy to arrive and leave. Rooms are so clean, even if they have very close quarters. The free coffee is yummy.

The hotel that makes you smile.”
We found the room to be compact but adequate and spotlessly clean. The location of the hotel is perfect for the JR railway lines and the local buses.

Much appreciated! ”
I enjoyed my stay and the service here. It was safe, convenient and clean. Almost perfect except that it was quite hard to control the temperature of the shower.

Great location just behind the train station. Also great value for money and staff is extremely nice and helpful. Some rooms face the train tracks so you may hear the train, so if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. It did not bother me. Would definitely stay again.

Good Hotel Recently Refurbished”
I your by bicycle and checked in for 2 nights to shelter from typhoon. I said I need to keep my bike somewhere inside. They said I could keep it in my room. They also have me larger room for free. Looks like the place has been taken over by Smile and refurbished. Very good, clean and new. Next to station that has restaurants, convenience stores and supermarket.

Value for money”
At this price, I think we got more than we can asked for. Room is clean. location is just next train station. Comes with pretty good breakfast. Only setback is the hotel is relatively close to a funeral palour building, which some people may not feel comfortable with.

Great location”
The hotel is located about 3 minutes walk from Nara JR station, for someone who has to catch early airport shuttle or JR trains, it is a great hotel to stay. It's also really convenient to catch any bus to Nara park/Todaiji temple etc. The bed and duvet are very comfortable, though the room is right facing to train tracks, it is not bothering and doesn't disturb the sleep. Bathtub is small but the shape is comfortable to use. In the lobby there are many comics books for people to read. The only thing is maybe the wall is too thin so some times in the early morning/late evening you hear neighbours' noises (i.e. closing the door, moving stuff or stepping sounds) that might disturb the sleep. But in general I think this is a nice hotel to stay.

Great location but its a little complicated to find as there is no signage til you reach the property frontage. Many hotels in Nara have their name in English on the side or roof.

Amazing location”
Right next to the Nara station and a short walk to all of the main Nara attractions. The room is clean and simple but spacious enough to stretch your body and open your suitcase. There are vending machines, coin laundry and free coffee on a few levels of the building.
