Pros:

Absolutely gorgeous place, super close to Nara park. After hiking to Mount Wakakusa my wife and I enjoyed the private hot springs. It was surreal enjoying the hot water while listening to the rain in the rock garden area. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Nara.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

Amazing room. Very clean and very nice. Front desk has limited hours and they don't always have someone there manning a front desk. Make sure you have the address in Japanese to show to your cab driver, we had some trouble finding it initially.

Pros:

近鉄奈良駅から近く、にぎやかな商店街が近いながらも立地は静かで、とてもスタイリッシュなホテルです。
部屋によりますが、私が宿泊した部屋の窓からは荒池の畔で佇む何頭かの鹿を見ることができて嬉しかったです。
奈良を訪れた際には次回も利用したいです。
