Excellent hotel with a wonderful bath

Great hotel next to the station, with easy access to Asuka loop bus. Great service, good food, and a wonderful bath and relaxation area with mindful experience.

Mitsuhiro, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only thing nearby (still 14 min away) worthwhile for a tourist is Kashihara Jingu shrine. The hotel itself is beautiful. Kashihara seems like a great place to live though!

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a perfect place to stay in the area. Right next to the train station, the staff is extremely nice, the hotel is nice and has everything you need. There is even an Onsen downstairs. Daiso is 5 minutes away. My daughter cut her hair about 2 minutes away. Coco Restaurant is 5 minutes away. ( We had 3 meals here. LOL)
Robert, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bathroom too small.

The main room was good. Great views and plenty of space to relax. The letdown was the bathroom. It was tiny with very dated fittings and nowhere to put toiletries. It was also at a higher level meaning a really big step down into the main room which was potentially a safety risk.
K, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is within a short walk if the train station, and easy to find. The staff were friendly and helpful with some speaking English. Given the overall appearance of the hotel, I was surprised that my room seemed older than the rest of the facilities I saw, but it was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was more expensive than I wanted to venture, so I don't have any experience with its quality.
Amber, 4-night trip

Very clean but air conditioner is quite old and loud

Best breakfast in Japan

My son said it was the best hotel breakfast he has had in Japan. He even got up early for it. Of course they had him at hamburgers, but there was also eggs Benedict and Japanese specialties like dumplings with shrimp and wheat noodles. And some unusual items like caprese salad. The Western beds were the right height and very comfortable. The room was spotless. Parking is under the hotel and easy to find.

橿原神宮前駅から徒歩5分で大変便利。施設は全体的に清潔感があり、スタッフも笑顔で対応してくれて気持ちが良いです。朝の朝食ビュッフェは内容充実でとても美味しかった。温泉大浴場も広々としてリラックスできました。明日香村の周遊に電動自転車をホテルから出たすぐにある明日香レンタサイクルで借りました。藤原京跡から甘樫丘、石舞台、高松塚古墳、キトラ古墳までぐるりと回れ、疲れたら飛鳥駅店での乗り捨ても可能(結局借りた店に楽勝で戻ってきましたが、笑)。とにかく飛鳥観光には打って付けのホテルでした。ラウンジでの生ビールサービス(夕方)、夜9時からのナイトキャップサービス(ハードリカー)はオヤジ旅行者には最高のプレゼントでした!

朝食のバイキングで提供されている料理の種類が非常に豊富です。席が少なく混雑している時もあるので要注意です。 またラウンジでは、この地方の味や各種お酒も無料で楽しめます。開いている時間が短いですが、一度はのぞいてみると面白いと思います。
TETSU, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

高めの宿泊代を支払っているのに、ほとんどがセルフサービスで(食事はバイキングで片付けも自分でやる)フロントの対応も不快、こちらが聞いた事に対し親身に対応してくれず他人事な態度にがっかりしてしまいました。色々なホテルに宿泊させて頂きましたがこんな最悪なホテルは初めてです。 宿泊代が安くてのこの対応ならしょうがないと思いましたがぼったくりにあった気分でした。二度と泊まりたくないし人にも絶対お勧めしません。
