“Very lovely hotel in Nara”
Very nice hotel, although shared bathroom/showers, it felt almost like private. Very clean and organised! The location is also very good for activities around Nara + close to the train station.

The beds were so hard, they were pretty uncomfortable. There was a strong smell in the ground floor when we arrived. For the rest the facility was really good. There are no blinders that block the light

It's like a motel, but the facility is great. If you are not looking for a luxury hotel service, the cell bed room is comfortable enough for a group of friends to have nice sleep. The washer and dryer also work nicely allowing wash and dry summer clothes in one night. Certainly an ideal selection for a short stay in Nara.

“It was rubbish.”
The beds were very hard, gave us back pain. The toilets were dirty and not clean. The bathroom for women were far away to reach. There were no cups or cutlery to borrow.

“Overall satisfied”
I booked a family room. The hotel is in a very good location, close to nara park and nara shopping street, the implementation provided is good and overall just very clean and comfortable. Car park is right next door with reasonable price. Highly recommend this hotel base Nara.

“Capsule hotel in good location in Nara”
A proper capsule hotel. The staff are extremely helpful. Beds comfortable. Quiet all night. Showers very clean. Nice common room to hang out in. You would not get this in the UK!

Highly recommended! Very nice and helpful staff, luggage storage. Like a capsule hotel, but better, you can keep your luggage in the room in front of your bed, and lockers.
