Nara Park Hotel, Nara

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. While it boasts some old-world charm, especially in the old wing, I found the lack of English communication from the staff rather frustrating. The rooms were decent, but I felt that the price didn't match the overall experience. If you're just stopping by for a night and want to enjoy the hot spring, plan accordingly as the hours aren't ideal, and I felt a bit taken advantage of with extra fees for early access.

I stayed at this hotel expecting a traditional experience, but it fell short in many aspects. While the old-world charm was appealing, I found the service lacking, especially for someone who doesn't speak the local language. The hotspring hours were also frustrating, which felt like a missed opportunity. If you're just passing through Nara for a night, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for better value and convenience.

While the hotel has a unique old-world charm in its older wing, I found the experience to be less enjoyable than expected. The rooms were decent size but lacked quality coffee options, and the location wasn't as vibrant as I had hoped, being a bit far from the main action. The staff's lack of English and limited assistance also made navigating the stay quite frustrating.

The hotel has a charming old-world vibe, especially in the traditional wing. While the rooms are decent in size, the lack of quality coffee and support from the staff really detracted from my experience. If you're looking for a night’s stay, I’d recommend considering somewhere closer to the main action in Nara.
