Super Location in Nara

Lohnenswert!, Sehr günstig gelegen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten in Nara zu Fuß zu erreichen. Außergewöhnlich zuvorkommender Service (ich erhielt auf Wunsch ein "Western Breakfast", was nicht selbstverständlich ist); Gute Zimmer, mit Blick auf den Pond; Das Onsen ist ein wenig klein, (leider auch nur male/female getrennt); Kostenloses Parken 100 m entfernt vom Hotel.

子どもの受験に付き添って宿泊しました。早い時間にチェックインしたため、眺望のよいお部屋に通していただきました。お部屋の中は清潔でくつろげます。予約なしで入れる貸し切り風呂も利用させていただき、隣接の興福寺・五重塔を眺めながらリラックスできました。 一つだけ難点をあげるとすれば、お部屋のお手洗いで水を流す際の流水音が大きいことです。それがやや長時間続くのが気になりました。 一泊でしたが気持ちよく滞在させていただきましてありがとうございました。

猿沢の池畔

チェックインの際のロビーのタバコの臭いで、絶望的な気分になった。推して知るべし!と考えていたが、予想に反し、大風呂は清潔感があり快適だったし、部屋からの眺望も良し。一番良かったのは朝食。質の良い和定食で、落ち着いた雰囲気。朝食後、個々にロビーで提供されたコーヒー。ゆったりした時間が持てた。夜の猿沢の池は格別の趣。目の前なら、夜の散歩も苦にならない。立地は抜群と言える。
