Touch of Old Japan
An older hotel but the accommodations were fine. Staff was friendly and the room had two levels - the upstairs had western style beds. Breakfast was good.

The room is spacious and we love the Japanese style so much. So clean! However it would be perfect if the windows have blackout curtains or sample curtains. The Japanese paper curtains really can’t block the sunlight during morning. We woke up early by the sunlight.

We dropped our baggage in the hotel before we went to Nara Park. We could even drank coffee before we went! The room was spacious!
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Pulita anche se gli ospiti che abbiamo incrociato erano rumorosi: cattivo isolamento acustico fra le stanze.
