Pros:

Besonders gut hat mir die hervorragende Lage des Hotels gefallen. Sowohl der Bahnhof Nara als auch der Nara-Park waren gut erreichbar. Das Hotel lag direkt an einer belebten Einkaufsstraße, und auch in den umliegenden Straßen gab es zahlreiche Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Geschäfte und vieles zu entdecken. Die Lage war für meinen Aufenthalt wirklich optimal
Ein weiteres Highlight war das Frühstück. Das Buffet war sehr groß, abwechslungsreich und liebevoll vorbereitet. Es gab sowohl warme als auch kalte Speisen, asiatische und europäische Gerichte, sodass für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei war. Alles hat sehr gut geschmeckt und ließ keine Wünsche offen.
Auch das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und hatte alles, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Es war komfortabel, und die Betten waren bequem, sodass ich mich gut erholen konnte.

Insgesamt war ich mit dem Hotel sehr zufrieden und würde es aufgrund der tollen Lage, des ausgezeichneten Frühstücks und des angenehmen Komforts gerne weiterempfehlen.

２回目です。綺麗だし立地が良いです。
Pros:

ホテルから出かける時に、修学旅行生がロビーに集まっていた時に、スタッフの方が「申し訳ありません」と言いながら道を誘導して頂けた事が嬉しかったです。

Cons:

自分達の部屋の上の人の足音が物凄く響いてうるさかったです。修学旅行生だったのでしょうか？音は結構響いてしまうのがちょっと辛かったです。

Cons:

2000日圓早餐大多是漬物，其他的種類選擇少

Pros:

Echt super, die Lage, das Zimmer, das Frühstück,
Eine kleine Rauerzone gibt es auch im Hotel.
Ca. 3 Gehminuten vom Bahnhof.
Das Hotel und Nara, laden ein zum Entspannen.
Bleibt bitte zwei oder drei Nächte dort.

Cons:

Es gab keine Mängel, alles war top. Doch bis auf eins : Punkt 10 Uhr muß man fertig sein mit dem Frühstück und gehen. Schade

Well located, near everything ands highly recommended.
Pros:

It was very well located if your walking. There is shoppings, train, buses and more. That are very close to the hotel. There is many places to eat. Nearby there is a really delicious restaurant. I would definitely recommend to go, it is great for price. There is lots of space in the room and is very clean. It is also like a 5 minutes walk from the Nara park. Highly recommended and would definitely come back.
