Everything was great except the temperature kept too hot
Pros:

Central location right on the main street yet still quiet in the room, and walking distance to everything you'd want to see in Nara. Coffee/Bread restaurant inside the hotel was great as well

Cons:

The room, and the corridors inside the hotel are kept at an extremely warm temperature, with minimal AC in the room. I woke up with myself and the bed drenched in sweat multiple times during the night. Not a great night's sleep unfortunately

快適に過ごせました
Pros:

奈良に到着したのは午前10時、荷物を預かってもらいました。全館禁煙であること、1秒チェックインできること、清潔な部屋、感じ良いスタッフ、どれもAPAホテルの強みですね。

Cons:

近鉄奈良駅から徒歩5分くらいでした。ただ、にぎやかな商店街を通るので退屈しませんでした。

Pros:

＊奈良公園に近く、観光には最適である。安い料金でこれほど高級で快適なホテルは初めてでした。これからも利用したい。
＊中国人に不人気で（歴史問題を嫌って）宿泊しないと聞いていたので、大変素晴らしいホテルだと思う。中国人は日本へ来てほしくない。

Cons:

＊ちょっと部屋が寒かった。北海道に住む私は、冬は部屋を十分に暖めて過ごします。暖房がきかなかったのは残念でした。

Excellent hotel. Will surely book again.
Pros:

The location is perfectly situated near the station and other attractions. The breakfast served was good.

Cons:

It was warm when we stayed but the air conditioning wasn’t possible due to centralized heating so we opened the windows instead but it was very noisy.
