Pros:

Kesinlikle konumu süperdi! Özellikle de trenle gelecekseniz trenden indiğinizde birkaç dakikaya tesise ulaşıyorsunuz. Bizim için çok kolaylık oldu. Geyiklerin olduğu alana ve de diğer turistik alanlara da oldukça yakındı. Yakınında tren istasyonunda süpermarket de var ki bu da avantajdı.

最悪のホテル
Pros:

全くありません。いいのはＪＲ奈良駅から近いだけ。

Cons:

風呂場の排水口が外れてもう少しで足にあたりそうになった。
連泊だったので翌日に部屋を変えてもらった。他のスマイルホテルでは排水が漏れてきてエライ目に遭いました。
