Guest UserChecking in can take a while, as the butler asks quite a few detailed questions and then gives a thorough introduction to the building and its various areas. Some staff members have good English, others not so much, which can sometimes make understanding difficult, but it doesn't significantly impact the overall experience.
The breakfast is exquisite. During the tail end of the Golden Week holiday, we had to queue for a table. The Japanese grilled fish was delicious, but other dishes were just okay. The Western options were decent and quite plentiful. The room was clean and tidy, and on our last day, we even saw deer chasing and playing in the courtyard.
The hotel has a distinct resort vibe, and Kengo Kuma's design features many highlights. It's a tranquil oasis in a bustling area, and the courtyard is beautifully maintained. Most guests seemed to be older, well-established families, with fewer young people. (As a 'workhorse' who needed to get some work done in the evening, I found there were no power outlets near the desk for my laptop, which really drove home the point that everyone else was truly here to relax and enjoy their vacation).
Overall, I had a very pleasant and comfortable holiday. It's a beautiful hotel and definitely worth experiencing.

Guest UserThis hotel is very new, and it's also the most stylish and best value-for-money hotel in Nara. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The electronic display in the room also shows the current number of people in the hot spring, so you can choose to go when it's not too crowded.

This hotel exudes an old-money Japanese charm. The rooms are spacious and incredibly clean, and the lobby is grand. They offer various Nara-specific experiences. For breakfast, you can enjoy a wide array of Nara snacks right here, avoiding the crowds outside while still getting a premium experience. There's even a floor dedicated to hot springs, and you get complimentary ice cream after your soak – it's fantastic! Overall, it's a hotel with excellent value for money.
