Wonderful old hotel oozing old-world elegance. You will feel like royalty here. Expensive, but an excellent alternative
Pros:

Exceptionally beautiful building oozing Taisho / Edwardian futures, charm, and details, and full of history — many famous guests over the years. For example, Albert Einstein stayed here and they still have the piano he played in a lounge! Worth it for the architecture and interiors alone if that’s your thing. Impeccable full-service staff. Extremely large and comfortable room. Excellent amenities in room including some of the most comfortable pajamas I’ve ever slept in. Free shuttle into Nara town. Walkable / close to main Nara park temples. Beautiful views from our window. Excellent bar.

Cons:

Really nothing we did not like. A few strange or less-excellent points: It did have a strangely musty smell in the lobby, lounges, and hallways, though not in the guest rooms. The hallways past the public areas were strangely cavernous and empty — no art on the walls, etc. No screens on the windows, such that our room had a note that said “Don’t open the windows; your room will fill with insects.” We would have loved to listen to the cicadas and feel the fresh air — just put screens on the windows!

車で移動する場合には駐車場は重大なポイント
Pros:

到着後の夕食が素晴らしく、殊に給仕のスタッフは心を込めてサービスをしてくれました。
御年配の方への配慮もあって、ハイクラスのホテルならではのサービスを受けられます。

Cons:

駐車場の配慮の無さが酷いと思います。
一台も停められず、近くのコインパーキング対応で、敷地が広いので、雨の中自ら徒歩で戻りました。
しかし日曜日は工事車両も通行せず、足の悪い御年配には週末にはスペース確保する配慮は必須と考えます。
また、バスローブを希望したら部屋のクラスを理由に断られました。その他のスタッフが素晴らしい分、残念に感じました。

Pros:

クラシックで素敵なホテル。とくに、美しいティーラウンジの窓から、鹿たちを眺めつつ鹿のラテアートが描かれたラテを楽しんだのが素晴らしい体験でした。
朝食会場からも鹿を眺めることができて、名前通り、奈良をたくさん感じた滞在でした。

Cons:

IN時に対応してくれたスタッフはとても丁寧だったけど、OUT時に対応したスタッフの対応が雑だった。後ろに人が待っていたわけでもなく、急いでもいなさそうだったけど、笑顔がなく、お見送りなどもなかったので勝手に帰って感を感じてしまった。

Pros:

the history of the building.
spacious room, great environment. Saw deer in the backyard
reasonable price
great breakfast
great giftshop

Cons:

I did book the room with 3 people on booking.com, but still asked for an extra charge for the 3rd person. I am not sure if it was my mis-understanding or booking.com did not provide information correctly.

施設立地(ロケーション)の良さです。
Pros:

新館に泊まったが、ベット等のデザイン(機能性)が良かった。朝食(茶粥)が美味しかった。
本館にはアインシュタイン、チャップリン、皇族の宿泊など施設としての伝統が感じられた。
また国立博物館、奈良公園や元興寺など寺町に近く施設立地(ロケーション)が最高でした。

Cons:

新館エレベーターに乗って部屋までの動線が少し分かりずらい(違和感が残る)。玄関から下に部屋が位置しているようです。
部屋から外の遠景は望めない。
