Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi Reviews

Great hotel for a price

This is a superb hotel and I rate it so highly that I took the initiative to write a review here. First of all, the location is superb, just behind Xingfu Temple, you can reach it by the stairs. There are often deer by the pond next to the hotel, which can be seen in the room (I booked two rooms and I can see them by opening the window). If you want to go to various attractions, you can walk for three to five minutes. If you want to eat at the restaurant where locals eat every day, it is even more convenient. The food is good and cheap and very authentic, which is completely different from the scenic spot. Secondly, the whole hotel is at the junction of residential areas and scenic spots. Both the surrounding environment and the hotel itself are quite quiet, and I suspect that I was the only traveler in the hotel for these two nights. I really don’t understand why others don’t choose it; thirdly, maybe because there were really no guests, the hygiene was very good. I saw other comments saying that the quilt was very cold at night. This hotel has heating, and the quilt cover is indeed very slippery, but the heating is turned on so that we don’t need to cover the quilt at all... There is a large bathhouse on the underground first floor, which is very clean and empty, so I have it all to myself... Finally, thank you for specially arranging to upgrade the two best rooms in the hotel because of my birthday, and also preparing birthday gifts for me. After checking out, they also prepared handwritten birthday cards and candies, which I have never encountered in five-star hotels. I highly recommend everyone to stay in this hotel. If I come to Nara again in the future, I will continue to choose this hotel.

Although it is a short distance from the station, it does not affect its convenience. The quality of the hotel is quite good, and it even provides calligraphy supplies for travelers to experience! A hotel that is very attentive to maintaining culture. The bento for breakfast was delicious. We took it to Mount Wakakusa to enjoy it. Although it was cold, it was still delicious. (It was still hot when I got it at the restaurant! A very carefully made and delicious bento.)

The room looks new, clean, tidy, and not too big. The facilities are quite complete. There is a public bath on the basement floor, which is very small. The location is very good, with Sarusawa Pond and the three-story and five-story pagodas of Kofuku-ji Temple (under renovation) outside the window. There is a public observation deck in front of the second floor, as shown in the photo below.

It's hard to rate it in one night, but we liked everything. The Japanese-style room was new to us. It's not far from the metro, the train station is further away of course... There's a Starbucks on the first floor, it's convenient that it opens at 8am and you can have breakfast there. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast, but you can order a bento in advance. Would we stay again? Definitely yes.

The room is quite big and very convenient. It is very close to the tourist attractions and the commercial area. There is a Family Mart next to it. A few steps away are the drugstore and Lawson. It is also very quiet at night. I have a small suggestion that I hope to provide disposable slippers. In addition, the quilt is not very breathable

Very close to Nara Park, the room facilities are complete, the room has a Japanese atmosphere, but the design of the washbasin is not very reasonable

It's a 5-8 minute walk from Kintetsu Station, at the end of the commercial street, very quiet, and very close to attractions. There is Starbucks downstairs, there is a platform on the second floor to enjoy the scenery, and there is a small large bath downstairs. Although Nara is small, it is very convenient for traveling with parents and you can come back to rest at noon. It is hygienic and clean. It is recommended to prepare breakfast by yourself. The hotel is also booked from outside.

First of all, the location is so good... I almost decided to go near Jr Nara Station at first, but I almost regretted it... The Kintetsu Nara Line is close to tourist spots, so make sure to get there near here! The view of the lake while resting on the hotel's second floor veranda was so beautiful and clean. It's a pity that there is no breakfast, but there is a sauna and the water is clean. There is Heungboksa Temple right next to it, but the downside is that the bell rings at around 5:58 in the morning and wakes you up. Other than that it was perfect.

The whole family went on a trip and checked into this hotel at 10:30 pm. The front desk service was very good. After staying for two days, I had the following feelings: 1. The location of this hotel is very good. It is very close to Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, and Kofukuji Temple. Kofukuji Temple is opposite the main entrance of the hotel. It is also very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, which takes only 10 minutes to get there; 2. The hotel strives to be environmentally friendly. Disposable toiletries are in the lobby on the first floor. You can get them when you need them. There are no disposable slippers in the room. If there is no special request during the day, the room will not be cleaned; 3. The hotel bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, and the distance between the toilet and the shower room is very cramped; 4. The room has no curtains, only Japanese paper doors, and a balcony outside. There is no reliable anti-theft lock, so it is a bit difficult to sleep in, except for those who are not sensitive to light; 5. The hotel's breakfast is Japanese box lunch and matcha drinks. According to the customer's requested time, after calling in advance to confirm that it can be delivered, it is delivered to the room. I personally feel it is a bit dry; 6. The bedding is very clean, but the sheets and quilts are very slippery. I personally feel that the comfort is average; 7. There is a public bathing area on the first floor of the hotel, which is separated by men and women. It is very similar to the public baths with toiletries in the Northeast. There is a large soaking pool and 6 or 7 sitting showers. There is nothing special. Overall, it is still a recommended hotel.

The location is very good. The front desk helped to get a taxi. There is a balcony. Except for the uncomfortable design of the bathroom (the function is fine), everything else is good.

It is right next to Sarusawa Pond and Kofukuji Temple, and very close to Kintetsu Station and the commercial street. The teahouse at Zhetai offers a view of Sarusawa Pond, but the drinks are mediocre. Breakfast is a sushi bento, which is very unique.

Good hygiene, experienced the public bath, private bath, complete facilities, good location. There are candies and messages when checking out.

The location is really good and excellent, and the scenery outside the hotel is also very good But the hotel is really not that good, especially if you have children, you should consider it before staying! After all, it is difficult to control your time with children. There are too many special circumstances. Anyone traveling with children knows this, especially those aged 2 to 3 years old. The room requires check-out before 10 o'clock. If you exceed the time, an additional fee of 3,000 yen will be charged. The breakfast provided by the hotel is a very simple Western-style set meal There is a Starbucks downstairs, so you can consider going there. After all, the indoor dining area is average and the outdoor scenery is first-rate. The tatami room is generally hygienic. When you step in, the floor is sticky and the room has a bit of a smell. The air conditioner is on the floor, and it blows directly on your head when you sleep... Oh, it's just uncomfortable. The faucet for bathing is the kind that only presses the button to release water (the water output time is one minute). After taking a bath, I forget how many times I have to press it. The washbasin is equipped with a sensor faucet. Alas, washing is tiring. The hot spring is just a big bathing pool, very simple and the experience is average. Service: No free bottled water
