2 nights stay in Nara

The location is superb so near to the deer park, dining and shopping area. It is only 15 minutes walk to the deer park. The only thing I don't like is to stay in the first floor, the same floor as the lobby and the window is block by the wall.

The room are super small. It is so small that there is no room for suitcase. But other from that, the faculty is excellent. Restaurants atound the jotel is good, but the hotel's own restaurant is excellent, especially the breakfast. The crossiants are must try item.

I spent 7 days at this hotel and really enjoyed it. I'd previously read about the rooms being small, so I knew what to expect (and that didn't bother me). Everything else worked perfectly: shower, wifi, AC. The minibars and microwaves are very convenient. Super clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay again.
