"Great spot for staying a night or two directly in the Nara Park. This allowed us to get up early and have basically the whole park to ourselves before the tourist groups arrive. Would definititely recommend it!
The room was nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the location was perfect."
"The Shikitei is right on the edge of Nara Park - essentially it is in the park. In terms of position it couldn't be better.
It had all the comforts of a ryokan including a great onsen bath,, and wonderful staff.
I can't recommend it more highly."
"Very nice quiet hotel that is big with good aurrounding ammenities. Would stay again! (No staff at this hotel its self check in so staff area not ranked) "
"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...
"Truly wonderful experience. The outdoor bath was a gem and the staff treated us exceptionally well. A warm, welcoming environment. Highly recommend. "
"Absolutely gorgeous place, super close to Nara park. After hiking to Mount Wakakusa my wife and I enjoyed the private hot springs. It was surreal enjoying the hot water while listening to the rain in the rock garden area. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Nara. "
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful, spoke English. It can be a bit loud depending on your neighbors but the room itself is so cozy and perfect. "

"We mostly used it as a hub while jumping around between Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara but it was perfect. It was only a 5 minute walk to a subway station, and across the street from a 24 hour 7/11"
"Great room - clean, modern and quiet. Really helpful and friendly staff. Really nice outdoor terrace on ground floor. Easy access to metro stations, 7-Eleven and food options. Would definitely stay again. "
"Clean room, friendly staff, convenient location. More laundry facilities would be helpful for the size of the hotel, as 4 washers and 4 dryers is not a lot. One person had taken over 2 of the dryers while our clothes were still in the washer and we had to take the wet clothes up to our room to hang them up"
"The hotel has a good location near the subway and other options. Limousine bus has a direct drop off/pick up at the hotel. Everything appeared very clean, and the staff were good and attentive. Self check in and check out. Didn't interact with anybody during those processes. But we did talk to staff at other times and all was good. Very small room, and not enough storage in the room, but it was otherwise functional and comfortable. Air conditioner turned itself off and not turning back on unless you hit the button for various reasons; not sure about all why in some cases. Included breakfast was good and they did open up the dining room up to 10 minutes early which was helpful on our last day when we had a train to catch."
