I spent two very pleasant nights at this hotel. Accommodations were great, staff was extremely polite and willing to help at all times. The comfort starts at the moment you take your shoes off at the lobby entrance. The breakfast includes a full variety of high quality options to pick. Free ice cream is available in the afternoon until midnight, a nice snack that goes along with the relaxing bath after walking all day. A late night snack is also offered at the restaurant after 9pm. I am happy I decided to stay for more than one night, it gives you the time to visit Nara and also enjoy the benefits of booking the stay at an onsen.

Nara has a lot going on.

Nara has a lot going on. Lots of wonderful food, decent shopping and the Park is huge! There is way more to the park that is initially revealed in tourism blogs. We really loved early morning walks thought the park without the crowds. We spent 3 days there, and felt like it was perfect.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).

I didn’t check closing times of temples and it was hard to determine the last buses back from further out locations. I did end up having a nice evening walk along a riverside to find a train station to come back into town.

Nara is beautiful.

Nara is beautiful. There are two UNESCO world heritage sites and lots of deer. If you are afraid of animals, I don't recommend it. The deer will follow you if you have food and they may try to take it from you if you hesitate or don't gently push them away. They are not, as a general rule, aggressive. A lot of tourists freak out and just throw their crackers. Don't do that. Stay calm. The deer don't want to hurt you, they just want a snack. They don't care for being pet either. Just snap your crackers (200 yen sold at different stands) into 3-4 pieces, hold out your hand flat and let them take it from you. Be aware of how many are around you. They will surround and nibble your clothing. I found this hilarious. I grew up with cows and they will pretty much do the same thing. Use your voice and be gentle. The one day bus pass is really useful. I wish I had more time in Nara.

Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place.

Nara Koen (park) is a beautiful place. Todaiji and Kasuga Kaisha is located nearby. The Sarusawa Ike (pond) behind the Nara Park leads to shopping place. One can spend whole day around Nara. - Beware of the deer, they might get a bit aggressive when offering food. - It gets crowded during on-season.

I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara.

I love the deer and the ambiance of Nara. Arrive early and expect crowds. As with anything else, the further you walk from the main area, you can stumble across more peaceful and secluded places. I would avoid Nara on the weekend, if possible. Deer can be friendly (and bow politely to ask for a treat) or aggressive (grabbing items out of your bag, biting your clothing, or being over-zealous). Keep your crackers high or out of sight and feel free to walk away from deer that are not vibing.

The hotel is perfectly located by the station and not more than 30 minutes away from Nara's main cultural attractions like The great Buddha or its famous park full of dears. The staff was very helpful and caring, and they write us a note to celebrate our Honeymoon. The Onsen was perfect and the breakfast one of the best we had throughout our trip tonJapan. We totally recommend the hotel.

I definitely recommend staying overnight in Nara instead of just doing a day trip, there is so much more to explore than just feeding the Deer. It's a beautiful town and the hotel was center location, It has a really cute restaurant on the ground floor and a lovely coffee place a few stops up that had divine coffee. The staff at the hotel were exceptional, and the rooms were clean.

The location is great. You don’t even have to leave the train station as there is an attachment leading to the hotel. The hotel is lovely, staff very friendly and beds very comfortable. Distance to Nara park is not far and there is lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance.

Great location, right at the centre of the shopping n restaurant area, 10 minutes walk from the Nara Station, and 20 minutes walk to Nara Park / Todaiji. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel looked new and stylish.

Convenient location next to Kintetsu station and all the main sights in Nara. Keeps the good standard of APA hotels, which are all very similar to each other (clean, well organised, etc).
