奈良の観光の拠点としてロケーションが最高なホテル
Pros:

JR奈良駅に直結していて交通の便や買い物や食事に便利だった。
奈良の観光は近鉄がメインで3日間フリーパスを利用して非常にリーズナブルだった。
近鉄奈良駅までは歩いても行けますが、バス１本で行けるのも便利だった。ただそんなに本数は多くないです。

Cons:

大浴場が狭かった。グループでの旅行だと部屋の風呂ではなくいっぺんに入れる大浴場が有って良かったが、もう少し広いと良かったです。

家族にも大好評、次に来るときにまた泊まりたい！
Pros:

奈良駅に直通と、ロケーションはこれ以上ないほど素晴らしく、フロントロビーも広く清潔で、スタッフの対応も心地よいものでした。部屋は３ベッドで一つが「ソファベッド」とあるため、覚悟していたのですが、他の二つと変わらないぐらいでした。朝ご飯も大変美味しかったです。

Cons:

よくない、ということはないですが、大浴場は混雑のためやや狭く感じました。無理に温泉に似せようとしなくてもよかったかもしれません。
