Ok but can be improved

Great location for Nara main attractions. Easy to find restaurants, next to a market, short walk to Nara Park. The place is new, easy to find and easy to use in general. Few things could be improved. Check in instructions were sent in Japanese only and we needed some codes to access the place so it wasn’t straight forward. Towels were super small and the futon super thin you basically sleep on top of the carpet. We have stayed in plenty of futon and tatami hotels in our trip and this one was definitely missing the thick part. Uncomfortable night. Also on arrival, although the place was clean that was a horrible smell that went away once we open the windows and air the room

ならまちの風情のある場所の真ん中にあって、周辺の散策がしやすく楽しかった。 ダブルの布団はロフトだと狭く（落ちそう）窮屈だったので、３人部屋にしたのだが、かけ布団が１枚しかなく、ロフトで寝るしかなかったことが不満。２人以上であれば、１階のソファベッドでも寝られるようにしてほしいと思った。

奈良の駅からは少しありますが徒歩圏内だし主要観光地にはアクセスがしやすいです。 今回ビジネス利用でしたが家族でも利用出来そうです。 部屋はソファベッドとロフトに布団があるのでプライベート重視ならこの部屋が良いと思います。音は気にならないです。また利用しようと思います。
