Guest Reviews

• Anna (9/5): Amazing location, wonderful staff, very simple - Great location and very friendly and polite staff. Very quiet and dark rooms at night. Slept very well. Super central.
• Larsen (10/5): - Everything. The people, the place the cleanliness, the courtesy. I can't think of anything that I did not like.
• Tanabe (8/5): -
• 山口 (8/5): - スタッフの方がとても親切でした。お部屋も清潔で過ごしやすかったです。 テレビが映らなかったです。カーテンを開けたら壁で残念でした。
• Martin (9/5): Great place to stay in Nara - Friendly staff. Room was spacious. Bathroom even contained a bathtub. Very good location. No view - the windows had obscure glass.
• Emanuele Maria (9/5): -
• 藤本 (5/5): 料金相応です。ロケーションは良いです - 料金、立地が良い 施設設備が古い。駐車場がない
• Saori (9/5): 全体的には満足できる素敵な旅館でした。 - 東大寺にも歩いて行ける距離で立地も良く、スタッフの方の対応がとても良かったです。 お部屋は少し狭いですが、お布団もふかふかでゆっくりできました。 お風呂でゆっくりするのが好きなので、こちらのお風呂は少し狭いので、他の宿泊者の方が入って来られるとゆっくり浸かってというわけにはいかず、そこが少し残念なくらいでした。 朝風呂もないのも残念な点でした。
• Philippe (8/5): -
• Inukai (9/5): とても良かった。満足した。 - スタッフさんの対応がきめ細やかで本当に良かった。 風呂がもう少し広ければ、最高だった。
• norio (6/5): - 値段がリーズナブル シャンプーがゴワゴワになりました
• TOMOYA (7/5): -
• Edoardo (9/5): - La struttura è sicuramente un po’ vecchia ma la posizione è ottima, è economica, ha tutto (onsen, kimono e bagno privato) e in più lo staffa ha tutta una serie di accorgimenti molto carini (come ad esempio lasciarti del te da poter fare per la mattina). Super super consigliato. Ripeto, è un po’ vecchia ma veramente rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo.
• Barbara (8/5): Bonne adresse et qualité prix superbe - Tout surtout l’emplacement, vue sur l’étang d’une petite chambre terrasse avec petite table et deux chaises, vraiment mignon. Le bain chaud était vraiment petit, heureusement j’étais toute seule.
• 益永 (10/5): - スタッフの方が、大変親切で、気持ちよかった。部屋もきれいで、掃除がよく行き届いていた。

• 382006c3757372fc5115e1e6a72a4a0a (9/5): - Excellent accueil de l'équipe très aimable et serviable. L'hôtel est extrêmement bien placé en bordure du parc.

• 8584b35459d77212cdb310beb32f6e32 (9/5): - Place is incredible
• f3a4b3d4f0ee7195b253c650d4f49822 (10/5): - 繁華街に近く、徒歩やバスで観光地をいろいろ廻ることが出来た 特にありません
• 54bd5b72721f7029b2c1a4f254d7d8cb (9/5): Wonderful stay, great value! - This ryokan is right next to Sarusawa Pond and very close to main sightseeing locations in Nara. Our room was much bigger than expected, with plenty of room even with three futons laid out. We had a private shower and bathtub attached to the room which we were pleasantly surprised by. The facility is a little dated but well-kept and clean, and for the price and location, I don't think you can find a better deal. No extra blankets or alternate pillows provided (the pillows provided are the hard traditional ones filled with buckwheat hulls).
• Alla (10/5): - У нас был балкон , с видом в парк на пруд , где были олени. Месторасположение классное , все рядом . В номере были халаты , вода . Завтрак вот только не удалось зарезервировать , нам отказали
• Sophie (9/5): - Le confort L'emplacement L'accueil
• Jenny (9/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Friendly staff!!!! - Close to everything around NARA park. This place is fro in my and center!! Nothing
• Michael (8/5): -
• osnat (10/5): I had a great stay , helpful staff - Location
• yasuhiro (8/5): -
• Sakai (4/5): - 入浴時間が22時まで。着いたのが20時過ぎて夕食も摂れておらず、大急ぎで食べねばならなかった事。 冷蔵庫は、コンセントが入っていたけれど冷えてなかった事。
• Pascale (6/5): Bel emplacement, prestation décevante - L'emplacement est parfait pour accéder aussi bien au parc qu'à la vieille ville. Le bain est agréable en fin de journée. Le personnel est souriant, certains ne sont pas d'une grande aide pour nous renseigner. Logement très propre. Nous avions réservé avec petit-déjeuner et mauvaise surprise il n'y en avait pas. Entre-temps, il y a eu un changement, le petit-déjeuner devait être commandé 24h avant, au tarif de 2000 yens. La décoration au sens large (compris les serviettes de bain, le futon, les chaussons ...) est vraiment d'un autre âge. Le propriétaire n'investit pas vraiment dans son affaire.
• Nathaniel (8/5): - No laundry available
• Vedrana (9/5): - The staff, room, view and location was amazing! My boyfriend could touch the floor through bed mattress so he had back pain next day :( And we had the smalles bathroom I ever seen in my life but it was so cute (only for one person) and I didn't mind it at all
• Viktoria (8/5): everything was comfortable enough for a short stay. - The location is perfect. Room was nice and clean and the breakfast was great. The stuff really friendly! There’s also an onsen. However, the hotel feels a bit tired and would benefit from some renovation and refreshing. Still, everything was comfortable enough for a short stay.
• Hsiaowen (8/5): -
• Xiang (6/5): -
• Mélanie (7/5): -
• Théo (10/5): -
• Antonio (10/5): - Stanza in perfetto stile ryokan giapponese, con tanto di vestaglia per l'ospite, attaccato al parco dei cervi di Nara... esperienza assolutamente da provare!
• kyoko (6/5): - フロントにおすすめの食事の場所を教えてもらった。 大浴場のシャワーの熱いお湯が中々出てこなかった。
• 河原崎 (8/5): - 部屋がとても綺麗だった ①お風呂がぬるかった ②朝食付きで申込んたつもりだったけど 違った
• Haruna (10/5): - 水回りが綺麗にリノベーションされていて、お部屋も広く素敵でした。
• Samuel Ciantar (8/5): - Super comfy beds and lovely ryonkan stay right at the foot of Nara temples and park and possibility of private bathroom is nice Bathroom could use an upgrade
• Pauline (10/5): - Le ryokan est typique et extrêmement bien placé. C'est à côté du grand parc de nara et des nombreuses attractions touristiques à faire. Vous avez accès à pied. Petit conseil profité du logement onsen et repos et se levé tôt car tout ouvre à 8h et il n'y à vraiment personne et vous profité de tout facilement et rapidement Les toilettes et le bain font un bruit pas possible niveau évacuation de l'eau
• NORIYUKI (7/5): - 部屋は清潔で静かで良かった 大浴場が17:00〜22:00に入浴可能だが、保温されないので、時間が遅いと温度が下がる
• Ling-wei (7/5): Overall, it's a pretty good stay. - It's not far away from the station and close to Nara Park. The location is convenient if you want to see Nara Museum and those famous temples. The price is affordable. The bathroom is small. The facilities are old, such as the worn-out tatami. There is a weird smell in the small, no-tatami room.
• tristan (8/5): -
• SHUHEI (8/5): 概ね満足。 - ロケーションが良く概ね快適、何より他のホテルや旅館と比べて圧倒的に安かった。この価格帯でも周囲を見比べてみると相部屋の宿ばかりなので一人旅をするなら特にお得だと思う。 枕が硬い。従業員が全員外国人であった。今のご時世上仕方ないと思うし、丁寧な対応で日本語も堪能だったのでほとんど問題は感じなかったが、荷物発送をお願いする際に手間取った。あとは大浴場の風呂がぬるいので自分でお湯を足す必要あり。
• AS (8/5): - Wonderful location, short walk to the train station and main attractions.
• Viola (9/5): -
• Mattis (9/5): Correct - Service impeccable Je m'attendais a pouvoir commander le dîner sur place mais c'est impossible, il n'y a que le petit déjeuner et il faut s'y prendre a l'avance pour réserver...
• Sanae (8/5): コスパ良し - 建物は古いが畳や洗面所などは新調され、最低限必要な物は用意されているところ。立地も観光し易い所にあった。 費用対効果を考えれば、特になし

• Zhao (8/5): - I need a invoice and the hotel can't issue to me because I payed to booking.com online, How can I get a invoice?
• Fiona (10/5): -
• Theresa Maria (8/5): - Big room, yukata, table with chairs, tv, elevator, closeness to Nara park Only overhead lights in the room (very bright), public bath was already cooling and no hot water from showers in there at 8 pm
• Francois (8/5): Hôtel à la japonaise bien placé - L'emplacement juste au début du parc de Nara, la vue sur le petit étang. Très calme Il y a un onsen (bain japonais) dans l'hôtel ouvert de 17h à 22h, mieux vaut y aller au début car à 21h l'eau est plus que tiède.
• Vincent (7/5): -
• A (8/5): -
• Javier (9/5): 9 - Todo Nada
• yokooji (8/5): 癒やしの旅 - わっぱ弁当の朝ごはん😋 ロケーションと利便性
• Rafet Kaan (10/5): - Odalar ferah, yataklar rahat ve otel çok temizdi. Odamızın manzarasi. Çok iyiydi, özellikle konumu harikaydı. -
• Vanesa (10/5): - El onsen, el balcón de la habitación y la ubicación increíble Los pasillos y las instalaciones un poco anticuados
• SunPo (10/5): -
• HsingYu (9/5): great location and a pretty view to 猿澤池 - great location the bathroom is relatively small, but I love the public one.
• Pinkness4815 (6/5): Traditional Rhyokhan where we would probably not stay again - Traditional ryokhan that had a small public bath as well. Location was good because the main temples in Nara are right outside as are some shops, Starbucks and of course, lots of deer. More spacious than some of the rooms we had. Staff maybe spoke a bit better English than elsewhere, at least one Bathroom was very small and of course, the futons cannot be super comfortable if you're staying in a Ryokhan where you traditionally sleep on the floor. Or maybe they could have been of a better quality. I had requested a vegetarian breakfast but there were fish flakes in the soup or at least it wasn't possible to tell for sure. The rest of the breakfast was okay but it was sometimes unidentifiable and both times, we went for snacks again pretty soon after. The air conditioning was pointed directly at the bed, but it was impossible to sleep without it because it was very hot.
• Axel (4/5): Onsen muchtig - Veraltert
• Diaz Navas (7/5): -
• mehdi (10/5): Bon petit déjeuner - L’équipe était super, sympathique et très serviable, merci à vous 🙏
• Angela GRIFI (8/5): Ottima posizione - Ottima posizione e staff gentile. Anche se non l'ho sempre trovato alla reception abbiamo comunicato tramite post-it con successo.
• Nicolas (10/5): - Ideal location right next to the Nara park and main temples. Deers were literally the first thing we saw out of the hotel in the morning, crossing the street. Staff was really helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend Nothing
• Sara (9/5): -
• Salvatore (10/5): -
• grover (3/5): Old & not so clean hotel in good location. - Location, convenient location next to Park. Its a very old hotel. No lobby experience. Saw spider in lobby floor finished in office carpet. Hotel needs a big renovation. My wife experienced itchiness at night and staff was friendly to bring new mattress and covers. Luckily I was carrying an antihistamine medicine. I just wanted night to pass and we wanted to leave.
• takahisa (9/5): また来年もお世話になりたいです - 朝食は大変良かったです。どこもバイキングが多くなりましたが、似たようなものばかりで飽きていました。こちらは部屋で暖かいものが食べられて良かったです。もう少し奈良っぽいおかずがあるともっと良かったです。朝食を運んでくれた女性もとてもやわらかな感じでした。大浴場もあるし設備もいろいろ手直しされていました。猿沢池も目の前で、観光地も駅も徒歩圏内でした。またお盆なのに朝食付きだけで安く泊まれました。 大浴場のお湯が熱くて夕方は入れませんでした。立派なロビーがあるのに利用しないのはもったいないです。ガイド本とか気楽に利用出来る感じにしてはいかがでしょうか。カウンターの珈琲メーカーの使い方がわかりませんでした。料金は入れときましたが飲めませんでした。バスタオルは仕方無いですが、手ぬぐいも再利用されていますが、だいぶ使い古した感じでした。もちろん許容範囲でしたが。設備の問題なので仕方無いですがエアコンの音が大きかったです。
• Guest (10/5): 立地条件が良いので もっと告知したら良い - お弁当のようですが朝食はバリエーション有りで、美味しかったです 立地条件はバツグン 契約駐車場が無い！ 近所の駐車場の馬鹿高さには驚きでした。
• Isabel (10/5): - Una ubicación inmejorable
• Matteo (8/5): -
• Martynas (9/5): -
• Efthymia (8/5): -
• Isabelle (10/5): Exceptionnel - Très bien situé pour visiter le parc de Nara et proche des commerces. Le personnel est très gentil et a permis de laisser nos bagages avant le check-in. Le petit déjeuner est incroyable beau et bon. Rien
• Hailey (10/5): Japan Trip - They were so sweet and they were clean and orderly. It was right next to Nara park and saw some deer outside their establishment! Good location with a Starbucks right across the pond and shopping lanes close by.
• yihui (6/5): 总体较好 - 基础设施还有一些咖啡机之类的配置很齐全 我的房间原先是某种特殊功能间，味道很大很难接受
• Delucchi (10/5): Un giorno è troppo poco - Bellissimo l'ambiente molto tranquillo. Accanto al parco e dalla finestra si vedevano i cervi.
• 勝広 (1/5): -
• Beatrice (10/5): - Tutto, se si vuole provare un'esperienza unica, questo è il posto adatto!
• Claudia (6/5): - The Japanese style. It's a very old hotel. Well maintained but decades old.
• sebastien (9/5): À vivre au moins une fois dans un séjour au Japon - L’expérience ryokan, la qualité du petit déjeuner à la japonaise (pas facile pour des français, mais ça faisait partie de l’expérience), la localisation et sans aucun doute le personnel Peut être à remettre au gout du jour, mais est ce que ce n’est pas ça qui fait son charme ?
• Vincenzo (9/5): Ottima posizione, silenzio, gentilezza. - La posizione è ottima per visitare il centro di Nara, il complesso di templi Kofuku-ji ed è ad una breve passeggiata dal magnifico Todai-ji. Inoltre, chi visita Nara anche per i cervi sarà totalmente soddisfatto. La struttura è silenziosa, accogliente e il personale, benché fatichi un po' con l'inglese, è disponibile e gentilissimo. La stanza è essenziale ma è esattamente quello che ci si aspetta da una locanda giapponese. Il bagno ottimo è suddiviso in zona WC e zona bagno tipico giapponese. Non ci sono aspetti veramente negativi. Certo non è un albergo di lusso ma offre di più dell'essenziale. Credo che il rapporto qualità prezzo sia notevole.
• lak (7/5): -
• Vincent (7/5): - la localisation est incroyable. c est un ryokan facon année 80. il faut pas s attendre à plus mais sinon c est tres sympa. je pensais avoir pris un petit dejeuner... mais apparement non.. un peu décu.
• SUK YOUNG (8/5): Would gladly come to this place again. - The breakfast was better than I had expected, it was filling and tasty. The staff were very attentive and kind. The location was great, it was right next to the Nara deer park, and there was a pond in front of the hotel where I could see the deer from inside. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Nara, for travel or work. I think the place could have been a little cleaner, but other than this it was perfect.
• チャボ (8/5): - 近鉄奈良駅や興福寺に近くて便利、夕食は、コンビニの食事コーナーでお値打ちに済ませました。 大浴場は、6人用でしたが誰もおらずゆったり過ごせました。 朝食がボリュウムも有り、とても美味しかった。 部屋に、椅子がないのが残念だった。
