Some things may be a little outdated in the Nara Visitor Center & Inn but it is the best bang for your buck in town & the staff was outstanding - so friendly & helpful! I’m so glad we decided to spend a couple of days in Nara instead of just doing it as the day trip that it is so often marketed as. Nara is it’s own destination & my favorite part of my whole whirlwind journey through Japan.

Location, staff, facilities are excellent. Stayed in Japanese room was brilliant. Only downside was a little aged and as a municipal building labels on everything. But the best value for money hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Wonderful!
What a wonderful hidden gem. My room was a traditional Japanese room with a wonderful view over the square and monuments. I have great memories of it. Such lovely staff too who went out their way to make me feel at home and offered lots of activities onsite (Origami etc).

A lot of restaurant closes early nearby and there is no restaurant inside but there is a full shared kitchen area. Wifi didn’t work in the room but it did on the 1st floor. There is a shared internet/computer room separately from the room we stayed on the floor so maybe that would have worked better if I got out of my room.

Not Bad for the money
This place isn’t close to the stations but it’s very handy to see the shrines and other places like restaurants and convenience store. It doesn’t get 5 stars cause there isn’t even one cup in the room. Had to make coffee in a paper cup without a spoon and supply your own coffee! Nice view from the window. Friendly staff and spacious. Well priced.
