Amazing luxury hotel
Every thing was luxurious here. Room was large and comfortable. Shower has perfect temperature and the rain shower head is so good. Amenities include glass bottles of mineral water and coffee and pajamas. It’s a block from the bus stop that takes you straight to Nara. Would definitely stay here again if I plan on going to feed the deers.

Top hotel but bit out of the way. But after doing a ton of walking and the sensory overload in Tokyo and Osaka it’s nice to chill out here for a few days and relax before kicking on again.

The stay at the hotel was decent. While the location was convenient and the atmosphere pleasant, the rude attitude of the foreign manager left a negative impression. Additionally, the experience at the restaurant was very disappointing. Despite the beautiful and well-decorated space, the food was of very poor quality, which further detracted from the overall experience. It’s a shame, as the hotel had great potential to be excellent.

JR奈良駅と近鉄大和西大寺駅からシャトルバスが運行しているので便利。大和西大寺駅からだと京都、大阪にも30分ちょっとくらいで行くことができます。大阪京都と比べると圧倒的に安い価格で泊まれるので、関西旅行の拠点としてぴったり。 客室やロビー、レストランが大変綺麗でお洒落です。特にロビーのバースペースは、色鮮やかに光る行燈があって、写真を撮りたくなります。 レストランはディナーブッフェの出来立て窯焼きピザが美味しいです。ルーフトップバーは奈良の街並みを一望できて、特に夕焼け、夜景が素晴らしい。 スタッフの皆様にも親切にしていただき、とても快適な滞在でした！
