Wonderful!
What a wonderful hidden gem. My room was a traditional Japanese room with a wonderful view over the square and monuments. I have great memories of it. Such lovely staff too who went out their way to make me feel at home and offered lots of activities onsite (Origami etc).

A lot of restaurant closes early nearby and there is no restaurant inside but there is a full shared kitchen area. Wifi didn’t work in the room but it did on the 1st floor. There is a shared internet/computer room separately from the room we stayed on the floor so maybe that would have worked better if I got out of my room.

All staff were very helpful. We enjoyed origami and calligraphy that the staff showed how to. Tea ceremony was great, too. We definitely stay again next time.

8/10 Very good

Not Bad for the money
This place isn’t close to the stations but it’s very handy to see the shrines and other places like restaurants and convenience store. It doesn’t get 5 stars cause there isn’t even one cup in the room. Had to make coffee in a paper cup without a spoon and supply your own coffee! Nice view from the window. Friendly staff and spacious. Well priced.

We absolutely loved this place. The staff were so lovely and helpful. It is perfectly located and in waking distance to all of the best spots in Nara. It was quiet, comfortable, clean and we had an amazing view of the Pagoda. Also, downstairs in the lobby area, you can learn all sorts of things like Origami. It is a real treasure this spot. There is also a hot bath area for a soak after your daytime adventures. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Nara.
