Pros:

Perfecte ligging, vlak naast de Todai-ji en het nationaal museum. Het hotel bestaat uit de oude gouverneurswoning waar de receptie en het restaurant zitten, en een nieuw gedeelte waar de gastenverblijven in zitten. De kamers zijn ruim en mooi ingericht.

Cons:

Geen echte bar in het hotel, dus iets drinken buiten de openingsuren van het restaurant is wat moeilijk.

Best hotel we’ve stayed at in Japan.
Pros:

Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Impressive attention to detail. Very large and comfortable rooms on gorgeous grounds. Enjoyed the evening drinks/snacks in the dining area overlooking the garden. Very nice Japanese breakfast. Great location (right beside Nara Park).

Cons:

Nothing.

Excellent stay at beautiful hotel in historical part of Nara.
Pros:

The very convenient location, historical buildings, quiet and serene surrounding; wonderful layout of the room with beautiful view of garden (corner room was specially nice). Bathroom, onsen, beddings, air conditioning, and lighting all perfectly designed. Spacious room with plenty of closet space for 2. Complimentary cocktails during "happy hour" in a separate building was most enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious. Special mention : concierge service was excellent from the start, response was prompt with excellent recommendations. Concierge also managed to get a booking at a restaurant which I failed to book online myself. Really appreciate that - thank you concierge team Hiromi san & Naoyuki san.

Probably would not stay again.
Pros:

Beautiful, historical property, in an excellent location.

Cons:

The whole check in process was ridiculous. The hotel staff was very controlling in where you could be or not be in the lobby area. Put us in a beautiful reading room for :30 minutes while we waited to simply check in. It’s as though the staff were preparing for us to stay in the Taj Mahal, when it’s just a hotel with some history. The cafe, in a separate structure, is a beautiful setting with garden views. However, it receives its food from the kitchen at the main facility. Takes forever to simply order a tea & light lunch. Not really a cafe. 1 hour & a half to experience that should only take :15 minutes. Every other table appeared to be annoyed with the extremely long wait simply to get a drink.
In a nut shell, the hotel staff was not living up to a high end hotel property, and they think they are the best hotel in the world. Really not!
Also, never got to speak to the concierge. It’s as though they were being secretive about everything. No assistance with local recommendations. A very weird experience to be honest.

An absolutely superb Nara hotel with history, character and every modern convenience.
Pros:

Being on the edge of the truly estraordinary UNESCO world heritage Nara park - at night all the tourists go home and you can wander freely in the moonlight! Traditional Japanese breakfast was sensational and welcome Laurent Perrier at dusk overlooking a garden was exquisite.

A luxury hotel for a quiet retreat
Pros:

Located next to Nara Museum and deer park, the hotel is in a modern Japanese style with staff attending to every detail. The reception building is a former government office and one of the rooms is where the US-Japan Security Treaty was signed by the Japanese emperor. Love the free champagne during 5-7pm everyday in the cafe.
