“I like that this is a modern, Japanese-style hotel offering both private ensuite onsen and dorm-style lodging. The location is ideal, near Nara Park's main attractions and shopping, though expect stairs. In my opinion, this property's blend of newness, location, and room variety makes it a practical choice.”
