Guest Reviews
- YUTA (10/5): 近鉄奈良駅近くの快適宿泊施設 - 近鉄奈良駅から非常に近く、また、ルート上は屋根があり雨の日でも濡れることはありません。 スタッフの皆様は非常に親切で、旅館内は清潔感もあり、安心して宿泊出来ました。 大浴場もとても広いわけではないですが、十分な広さがあり、くつろぐことが出来ました。
- ?? (8/5): - 換気扇に埃が溜まっていたのはマイナスですが、他は概ね綺麗で満足しました
- Masatoshi (8/5): - 駅から近いのが良い
- rachael (10/5): - Great staff! Awesome breakfast!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方たちが全員親切です。駅からもすぐ、雨に濡れずに行けます。 古い建物ですが清掃が行き届いておりとても綺麗です。大風呂も綺麗でした。 また奈良に行く機会があればこちらの旅館に泊まりたいです。
- Verified traveler (6/5): 近鉄奈良駅から近くて便利。大浴場がイイ - 近鉄奈良駅から徒歩1分もかからない近さで便利が良いです。鉱泉効果のある大浴場が気持ち良かったです
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 浴室有點沼氣的味道，其餘還好。
- Morioka (8/5): - 初めて利用させていただきました。スタッフの方の親切な対応に感謝しました。和室とベット対応の2部屋を使用しました。和室は広く4人部屋に２人でゆっくり滞在できました。ベット対応は通常のビジネスとほぼ同じですが、照明が暗いと不評でした。駅近で大変便利です。今後も利用したいと思います。
- Verified traveler (8/5): ロケーションがこの上なく便利 - 小さくて古めのホテルですが、ロケーションがこの上なく便利な場所です。駅がすぐそば、商店街の中ですが、騒音などは感じませんでした。お部屋の設備は必要最低限な感じですが、大浴場もあり、お風呂もゆったり入れました。足りない物などあればコンビニも近く、便利です。お勧めできます。
- Konoka (10/5): - すごく綺麗で素敵な場所でした。周辺にご飯屋さんも多く立地も最高でした。また泊まりたいです。
- Verified traveler (8/5): 奈良旅行 - 商店街の中にあり、駅も近くて良い場所でした。 食事は徒歩で行ける場所がかなりたくさんあって助かりました。 少し古い建物ですが、清潔感はあり問題なかったです。 wifiの効き目がとても悪かったのと、共用風呂への連絡通路が寒かったのが残念でした。 スタッフさんの対応は良かったです。
- Takayuki (10/5): - 近鉄奈良駅から近くで,飲食店も多いので,便利 また奈良マラソンの会場まで歩いて行ける
- Jake (10/5): - Nice one night stay. walking distance to everything you want to see or need. Cool traditional room.
- SANAE (8/5): - Situated so close to the Kintetsu Nara station, and the middle of the shopping mall, so you can get anything you like without being wet. They have a nice public bath as well. My skin was so smooth after having a dip, and nobody else was using it! Very cost effective place to stay.😊😊
- Carol (10/5): - Nice place to visit Nara from
- Robin (10/5): A rainy day... - Very good location, and since the rain was pouring down when we arrived, the fact that the accomodation is under one of the streets with roof, meant we could change clothes and the walk with dry clothes to find dinner. The room was cozy and we slept like puppies :-)
- Jesper (8/5): Close to everything! - This hotel was really in the best location. In the middle of all the restaurants and the train station etc. We had already stayed at another ryokan so we didn't take advantage of the other amenities that the ryokan offers apart from sleeping on cozy futons. This is a slightly older hotel, but it is suitable when it is a ryokan. However, there was only one electrical outlet in the entire room and you could hear quite clearly what was going on out in the corridor. Closing the sliding door to the bedroom helped a bit but it didn't take it all away, which was a little difficult for us. The staff was super friendly and very good at English!
- Antonio (8/5): - Excellent location close to Kintetsu Nara Station and Nara Park. The room was really nice and the futons were super comfortable. Room amenities were nice. The only complain was a weird smell coming from the room’s private bathroom.
- Abdullah (10/5): - Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, Ryokan is within walking distance of Nara park, plenty of dining options nearby, and it's located right outside of the train station.
- Dale (10/5): - The Ryokan is great! It's very quiet and easy to relax. The service is very good, I don't speak much Japanese but they made sure I was taken care of. The onsen is very nice. The restaurant is amazing, they have high quality beef and also the best dessert - kintoki!!! I can't wait to stay here again!
- かなみ (10/5): - 駅近で近くにお店や観光施設があり、奈良観光にはお勧めです。また大浴場もあり、旅の疲れも取れました。 欲を言えば朝も入浴ができると良いかなと思いました。
- Cheuk Man (8/5): 和式住宿 - 在購物街內，方便購物，和式設備，甚有日式氣氛
- てつお (8/5): - 駅近が一番！ バス停 タクシー乗り場も近く 観光地への移動がしやすい！ 朝ご飯をいただいたけど とても美味しかった！
- Hirofumi (6/5): 奈良駅近くのアーケード街のホテル - 奈良駅にほど近いアーケード内のホテル。 周りに食事や居酒屋も多く、 この時期の雨を凌げて助かりました。 駐車場は近隣というか5分ほど歩いた他社のものを利用。 ホテルそのものではなく、その周りを楽しむためのホテル。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location near Nara park. Super comfortable traditional beds.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 近鉄奈良駅に近く、非常に便利な場所でした。建物は古そうでしたが、部屋は清潔で、部屋のお風呂は新しいバスユニットでした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I wanted to experience a ryokan while I was in Japan. The Tenpyo Ryokan provided that. The service was good. Since we arrived before check-in time, they held our bags for us and put them in our room for us. The room was clean, and as hoped with traditional furniture and comfortable bedding. The bath was clean and relaxing. The yukata was very nice quality. Breakfast was delicious. They had traditional Japanese music playing while we ate which was refreshing. Everywhere else we had been seemed to only play 80's pop music. The location is great to shopping and touring. I would highly recommend.
- Tsung-Han (10/5): - 相當方便, 就在車站前商店街而已
- あきつき (6/5): - 場所は駅近で便利ですが、洗面所にコンセントが無いのと、エアコンの運転切り替えが出来ないのが残念でした
- Geoffrey (4/5): Nara Ryokan - The Ryokan was perfectly decent. The major problem was that neither of the two staff members spoke any English at all so that we were unable to get any help with basic things. There was for example a very noisy fan in our small room which we could not turn off through the night. The hotel is centrally located but it is in a shopping mall for anyone who was looking to experience something different.
- Jiru (8/5): Four people in tatami room - We were four people in a tatami room, everything went smooth and people were friendly. The room was clean but windows had no view. Access to the hot water bath went through a backdoor, but the bath was clean and comfortable. The elevator was convenient but closed very quickly, which was difficult to use with baggage. The location is very close to Nara park and many restaurants within walking distance.
- Z (10/5): Nice hotel, very close to train station - Good experience to sleep on the floor and sit like japanese people. It has very comfortable cushion actually for bed. Not very used to the sitting since we are old and hard to bend legs :)
- Yuko (8/5): - 近鉄奈良駅に程近く、繁華街のど真ん中にあってとてもいい立地です。 入り口はオシャレで高級感漂います。部屋は割と普通でしたが。 最初、宿泊者を書く欄に名前を漢字で書いたとき、ホテルズドットコムで予約したキャッシュカードのカタカナ表記と一致しないと言われて焦りました。その後、すぐに誤解はとけましたが…
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location - close to restaurants, transit, shopping and Nara Koen. Laundry also available.
- Kathryn (8/5): Tenpyo - IN an amazing location right next to the Nara Kintetsu train station and in a shopping arcade with a great choice of food. The room was Japanese style .Pretty squashed . Fairly expensive with no breakfast offered compared to other local hotels . Friendly service
- Quentin (8/5): Belle experience cependant cher pour ce que c'est - Belle Expérience de dormir dans un Ryokan cependant j'ai trouvé cher par rapport à la prestation délivrée
- Verified traveler (8/5): Recommend because of location - It is very close to the train station and lots of stores. Location is great but it can get hot in the room during summer vacation. The public bath hour is too short and not hot spring. But breakfast is delicious and service is good.
- Dennis (8/5): Bambi's Doorstep - Tenpyo Ryokan is convenient for travellers arriving on a Kintetsu train from Kyoto or elsewhere - virtually right at the station. The limo bus to the Kansai airport is just across the road. The Todai-ji temple is a one km stroll away through a scenic deer park that would please Bambi. However, check in time is 4 pm - but staff will secure bags for you while you meet deer friends in the park. Futons in room are a generous thickness and the bath house is beaut. Perfect location for a brief Nara experience.
- SaSa Chan (8/5): Nice Ryokan and very good location. - This Ryokan is about 2 minutes walk from Kintetsu-Nara Station. The location is great and it was along the street of shops. This street is all shops (Daiso, supermarket, local product etc) and restaurants. Ryokan came with a public bath. Although the public bath is not big but is sure for relaxation. This Ryokan is not flexible when comes to check in and check out. The check in time is 4pm and check out is 10am. We reached the Ryokan at around 3.45pm and the counter staff told us that we are not able to check in until 4pm sharp. Our stayed came with breakfast, Japanese style. Taste great. Overall, we had a great stayed at Tenpyo Ryokan,
- Steve (6/5): Cash stolen from room - The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were very good. Overall we had a wonderful experience other the following incident. On April 21 Fri my wife and I left hotel at 7:45 am for a walk to the conference I was attending at the Todai Ji museum (15 min away). When she came back at around 8:30 am the cash (a little over JPY60,000 or ~ US$ 600) we put on top of the table was gone. Honestly we did not remember whether we have the door locked when left in the morning. We reported to the hotels owners around lunch time (wife did not realize that till noon) and they were surprised too. This was our fourth trip to Japan and we thought Japan was a very safe place and did not expect this to happen. Anyway we could have done better to keep the case with us. But the incident did make a dent to an otherwise nice trip. Steve
- Verified traveler (8/5): 애기 추가 요금은 쫌.. - 예약 당시에는 그런 말이 하나도 없었는데, 직접 방문을 하니 애기가 있으면 추가 요금 5,700엔... ㅎㄷㄷ 이럴 거면 그냥 호텔에 갔지.. 결국 돈 21만원에 1박 했네요. 그래도 거기서 일하는 직원이 친절하고 워낙에 깨끗해서 좋았음.
- Redd (10/5): Great Introduction to Ryokan - The Tenpyo Ryokan was our first stay at a ryokan, and we found it to be a great introduction to the ryokan style. The staff were polite and patient with our very limited Japanese language skills, and the room was spacious and clean. We unfortunately never got a chance to try the onsite public bath due to our sightseeing schedule, but the ryokan's location makes it excellent for said sightseeing in Nara. The yukata and futons were both comfortable, and the onsite laundry was a lifesaver. Overall, a great stay!
- John (8/5): Recommendeded simple ryokan experience! - An amazing and modest ryokan experience. The staff were very helpful and understand basic English, though we're a little shy to speak. Convenient laundry facilities within, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants conveniently located just outside the ryokan.
- Autumn (10/5): - We enjoyed this ryokan. The entrance is in a shopping arcade. We slept in a Japanese style room with futons on the floor. The public bath was a nice plus.
- Omar (8/5): Spacious and well located - Excellent location, right in the middle of the market. Clean and spacious room, friendly staff.
- Robert (8/5): Great Access to Nara Highlights - This is a Ryokan or traditional Japanese style hotel. The rooms have tatami flooring and you will sleep on Futons on the floor. The rooms are not large but they are comfortable. They have a traditional large Japanese bath on the second floor which is open from 5pm to 11pm. Breakfast Japanese style is served in the coffee shop on the ground floor. It is located in a busy area with many shops and restaurants but the rooms are very quiet. It is a short walk from the Nara Deer Park and many of the famous Japanese temples and shrines.
- Verified traveler (8/5): céntrico y limpio - El hotel está muy bien localizado, cerca de los templos más importantes y de la estación, en una calle muy comercial con restaurantes y tiendas de todo tipo.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Muy bien ubicada, en calle llena de tiendas y a pocos minutos del parque y de los templos más turisticos. Además la decoración y el estilo de las habitaciones es típico japonés. Gran experiencia
- Cecile (10/5): Ryokan calme et bien placé - A deux pas des temples et dans l'une des rues les plus commerçantes de Nara (que l'on entend pas depuis l'intérieur) nous avons passé pour notre premier séjour en Ryokan un excellent moment. La chambre de style japonais était grande et la literie confortable. Le petit déjeuner de style japonais était aussi très correct.
- Nicole (8/5): good ryokan for great price! - We wanted to have a Ryokan experience whilst in Japan, and chose this one in Nara as Kyoto was nearly fully booked out (since it was during Obon season). While we initially did have to wait for a while for a staff member to come find us at the entrance; they were very helpful and allowed us to store our baggage with them until check-in time. The room was lovely, and the futon were very nice and soft. Contrary to some reviews on here, we found it very quiet and couldn't hear any noise from the restaurant below. The public bath was also very nice and relaxing, and Yukatas were provided. The location was great, just a short walk away from the deer park. All and all it was a lovely place to stay and was a great bargain!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great find good place to stay - Great local, easy to get too, near park & Kitensen Nara Station. Better than expected due to other reviews! And delight to have an Onsen open from 5-11 pm had the place to myself. Our room was large space for 2 futons and table! Very clean and comfortable. Only down side is there were no instructions for the air con in English but your in Japan so shouldn't expect English!!
