ここに泊まって後悔、値段もゆっくり探せば安くて新しい施設が周囲にあった
Pros:

駅近だったこと

Cons:

スタッフの説明が足りておらず何度も確認が必要になった、他のホテルと比べると不親切と感じた。駐車場台が近隣のコインパーキングの方が割安だった、立体駐車場なので一度入庫すると出せず周囲を観光できなかった。

Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal, on peut aller au parc de Nara à pied, en traversant des petites rues sympa.

Cons:

Le parking est difficile d'accès dès qu'il y a plusieurs voitures qui attendent, mais c'est l'emplacement qui veut ça, en centre ville.
