The location is excellent and the exterior of the hotel is ok but the inside of the hotel is worn and tired and in desperate need of renovation - particularly for the very high price. Staff friendly but inflexible and mediocre service. Giving The Shining vibes. Not recommended.

Historic Landmark, All the Comforts

This is a landmark historic hotel, dripping with stories of famous guests. It is grand, warm, welcoming, quiet, comfortable and convenient to Nara Park, Kintetsu Station and many temples. I stayed in the new side which feels very 1990s American hotel style. Roomy for Japan and with a nice balcony. The bar, tea room, sakura lounge and dining room were all comfortable and classy. This is a wonderful place to stay.
