Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the old-world charm in the older wing was appealing, the language barrier with the staff was frustrating. The lack of helpfulness from the staff, along with overpriced rooms and limited amenities, made my stay less enjoyable. If you're just staying for a night, you might want to consider other options.
