Parking is abundant and affordable at ¥1,200 per night, which makes it ideal for those traveling by car. Check-in was fast and smooth, with friendly staff who clearly explained facilities and breakfast details. There’s also a self-service station in the lobby with complimentary toiletries, coffee, and tea—very thoughtful. Breakfast isn’t gourmet, but it offers enough variety and portion size to fill you up. Taste is subjective, but it’s satisfying for the price point. Overall, this hotel delivers excellent value in Nara.

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.

The lobby is beautifully designed with thoughtful details, and I loved that they offered complimentary drinks, snacks, and even ice cream—such a nice touch for guests arriving tired or after a long day of sightseeing. My double room was surprisingly spacious—way bigger than what you’d typically expect from a city hotel in Japan. There was plenty of room for two people, which made the stay feel comfortable and relaxed. The staff were friendly and included several who spoke fluent Chinese, so communication was never an issue. What really stood out? The price. At just around HKD 270 per person per night, this place offers incredible value. It’s rare to find such quality and comfort at this price point. The only minor downside is that the bathroom is a bit small, but honestly, it doesn’t take away from how much I enjoyed the overall experience.
