Hot Springs Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

I stayed at this hotel recently and had a very unpleasant encounter with one of the front desk staff. Around 8 AM, the female staff member standing in the middle position was extremely rude and impatient. When I told her I would collect my suitcase between 12:00 and 14:00, she only wrote down “12:00” without confirming and gave me a very unfriendly look. Later, she asked me to lower my suitcase handle, but her English was unclear, and when I didn’t understand, she repeated it with even more frustration. Only after I looked upset did she reluctantly say “sorry.” As a foreign guest, I felt like I was treated differently—there seemed to be a clear lack of respect and possibly even discrimination. This hotel is not welcoming to international travelers, and the service was far below expectations for a hotel in Japan. I do not recommend this hotel and will not stay here again

Idealy located to visit Shigisan, a 5min walk from the entrance ! A very pleasant Onsen (indoor and Outdoor) is in the hotel. Note however that they don't serve diner and all restaurants are closed in the evening, so make sure you plan accordingly !

The hotel is next to the Nara station, it’s very good location. The staff are kind and nice, we asked about the route and restaurant recommendations, they are so helpful. The onsen in the hotel is good. Pyjamas and necessities are provided. Free alcohol drinks are also provided. All the check-in or entering room are in automatic mode. Good security for woman onsen zone with specific password to enter. I wish I could stay here again if I come back to Nara again.

The traditional Japanese room exceeded my expectations. Compared with hotels in downtown Kyoto, it is cost-effective, close to attractions, and has a good environment. The hotel's hot spring water is great and good for health. Compared with public open-air, indoor, and private reserved baths, I prefer the open-air bath, which is more comfortable and not easy to suffocate. The private reservation is a bit tight with 40 minutes, and the water feels a bit unclean when I go there at night. I don't know if the water can be changed every time. All the products provided are Pola, and some locals go there. I will sweat after a while after taking a bath. The free herbal tea provided on the first floor is also very comfortable. I will go there next time. The five-story pagoda is under repair, which affects the view a bit.

The room area is relatively large in Japan, the breakfast is also very rich, the hot spring is very comfortable, and there are four pools, which is considered a relatively large hot spring venue. About ten minutes' walk eastward, there is a comprehensive commercial building with a large supermarket on the first floor. After 7pm, sashimi and sushi are 50% off, making shopping very convenient.

Fantastic hotel for anyone who drive. Free Car park with lots of spaces. The facility is very clean, spacious room, both indoor and outdoor hot spring. Really there is nothing to complain in this hotel. It is located in a fairly decent neighborhoods and able to provide this standard of hot spring is phenomenal. One of the best stay we had in this journey. Highly Recommended.

The hotel locate just beside Nara station, bus terminal is also steps away, very convenient. The room size is very comfortable. Staffs are all friendly and handle check in fast. Check out is via self service machine which took only 2 mins. Every floor has facility room with auto laundry machine, oven and etc, which is very helpful for multiple days stay. Breakfast has various choices while tastes average to me. Overall a very satisfied stay and thanks a lot to all hotel staffs.

The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable, but the pillow is too flat. The soundproofing effect is so-so, and the sound from the corridor can be clearly heard in the room. The air conditioner is loud. There are convenience stores, restaurants, 24-hour self-service laundry shops, and daily necessities supermarkets within 5-10 minutes. The neighborhood is quieter after dark, but safe. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to Kashihara Jingumae Station. The road is flat and you don't need to go up and down the elevator. There is a lounge on the 1st floor that provides snacks. From 8pm to 10pm, the hot spring bath will provide ”amazake”👍 But there is no self-service laundry and dry cleaning service. The bath is time-limited, not 24 hours. If you stay consecutively, you can request to clean the room every other day. The cleaning level is standard. There is a 2D Barcode on the information sheet to check the mixing situation of the bath.

It is located quite far away, it is difficult to combine it with a trip to any attractions. In winter, buses go to the village only a few times a day, and the village itself looks deserted. But the hotel itself is great. Wooden building, but everything is in very good condition. 2 onsen, one with a view of a beautiful small garden. On the 2nd floor there is a chill zone with cool acoustics. Despite the minus outside, it was warm. Well, the full set: traditional rooms with tatami and futons, traditional clothing, cool dinner / breakfast. There are places to walk in the area, so it might be a good idea to stay here for a couple of nights, but probably not in winter.

The room facilities are relatively old, but they are clean and well-maintained. The large bathhouse should be newly renovated, with an outdoor open-air hot spring. In the evening, 3 flavors of Dandan noodles are served in rotation. .
