Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just step off the escalator from JR Nara Station and you're directly inside the hotel. It’s situated right at the main entrance of the station building, with two automatic doors to guide you, and you’ll head up to the 4th floor to reach the lobby. The room was spacious for a double booking—there was plenty of room to stretch out on the large bed, which was super comfortable (though slightly on the soft side). If you’re particular about mattress firmness, it might be worth noting. What really stood out was the thoughtful touches: they provide sleepwear and even let you choose your own pillow type to bring back to the room. The sleepwear itself is made from calming, sleep-enhancing fabric—such a nice detail that shows how much they care about guest relaxation. The on-site hot spring is clean, well-designed, and easy to navigate. While the pool isn’t huge, it’s very comfortable and relaxing. There’s a real-time display in the lobby showing hot spring usage, so you can avoid crowds and visit during quieter times. From 5 PM to 9 PM, there’s also complimentary tea and drinks available in the lounge—perfect for unwinding with a drink after a long day exploring Nara. Overall, the value for money, comfort, and attention to detail make this hotel a must-stay. Highly recommended!

This trip to Japan was such a joy, and a big part of that was staying at this incredible hotel! I was initially nervous seeing two Super Hotels nearby, but this one truly stands out. Located just across from the JR station, it's incredibly convenient for getting around—just a short walk to everything. The front desk staff are fantastic: they speak fluent Chinese (and also Korean, Japanese, and English!), making communication completely seamless. They even took time to go over important details during check-in and provided all the essentials—pillows, pajamas, toiletries—everything you'd need. The breakfast was delicious and authentically Japanese, and I was pleasantly surprised to see many local Japanese guests here too, which says a lot about the quality. It’s only a comfortable 10-minute walk to Nara Park, perfect for early morning visits. Honestly, I’ve already recommended it to everyone I know. If I ever come back to Kansai, this will be my top pick—plus, it’s more affordable than other options in the area. Yes, the room is small (typical for Japanese hotels), but honestly, it doesn’t take away from the experience at all.
