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.

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

立地条件よく新品で快適なホテルです
Pros:

素泊まりで予約しました。立地はとても良かったです。目の前のパン屋さんが良心的でおいしいモーニングをしていました。近鉄奈良駅からも近いし、周囲に飲食店も豊富です。ホテルも新しく清潔で、スタッフの方々もみなさん親切でした。1人で宿泊しましたがツインのお部屋で圧迫感なく過ごせました。窓の外は隣の建物が近接していますので、景観は期待できませんが、とても満足です。

Cons:

窓からの景観のみです。

Pros:

The hotel is within walking distance of almost all the main attractions and restaurants. It's a good place to stay for a few days in Nara. Late check-in hours in also a plus for me

Cons:

Because the hotel doesn't have quiet hours, it can be noisy sometimes at night when people get back to their rooms
