Beautiful property located right next to Nara Park, it’s so luxurious that you will want your stay in and enjoy as much as going out! We loved the champagne happy hour and the breakfasts were delightful. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, giving us recommendations for dining in town and booking taxis and generally friendly and helpful in every way.

What could be improved: Absolutely nothing.

A localização do hotel é ideal para conhecer Nara. What could be improved: O staff quase não fala inglês, qualquer pedido foi um drama. Não conseguimos marcar um dia restaurantes para maia tarde saber que estava vazio. 16h e tentamos comer uma Sandwich. Tivemos de falar com 4 pessoas, incluído o gerente do hotel, depois de 45min de explicação,...

A localização do hotel é ideal para conhecer Nara.

What could be improved: O staff quase não fala inglês, qualquer pedido foi um drama. Não conseguimos marcar um dia restaurantes para maia tarde saber que estava vazio. 16h e tentamos comer uma Sandwich. Tivemos de falar com 4 pessoas, incluído o gerente do hotel, depois de 45min de explicação, conseguimos comer alguma coisa no hotel. Para além disso o ar condicionado não era muito forte e as janelas do quarto na abrem. Com o calor do onsen no quarto, ficava bastante desconfortável. Tudo que se pedia ao staff, havia zero capacidade de satisfazer um cliente.
