Nara Ryokan

Super friendly staff close to all amenities

We arrived late at night, and checked out the same night. Room was tired and dusty. Was promised a hot spring bath but it was cold. We had booked for 5 nights, we asked for a refund for the nights we didn't stayand they have ignored all requests and messages, from ourselves.

Very clean and friendly

Room was fantastic - shower was definitely Japanese-sized, but my 18-stone 5’10” ass made it work. Would have liked to make use of the bath there, but with the persistent cough I’ve been trying to get shot of since before I even flew out to Japan, I wasn’t going to risk passing it on to anyone else.

No nos gustó, fuimos solamente una noche y se siente tan incomodo estar ahi. El personal es muy indiferente, no te ayudan en nada.... Y ni se diga que no hay elevador, tienes que subir muchas escaleras, y si vas con maletas... es horrible. Si pudiera pedir un reembolso, sin duda lo haría.

Staff was kind

Spotless, beautifully done room. Very comfortable mattress

Fint, men litet rum. Bra system för bokning av bad påmolats. Men personalen pratade dålig energiska vilket gjorde det svårt att kommunicera t.ex. om byte av kudde eller vita grejer i badet. Överlag var allt dock bättre än vad tidigare recensioner gjort gällande och jag är nöjd med vårt val. Du bör dock veta att detta inte är ett ryokan, snarare ett ganska bra budgethotell.

Terrible

Le personnel était très accueillant malgré le peu de connaissance en anglais. La chambre était très propre grande et très confortable dans un atmosphère parfait de ryokan. Le Onsen privée était parfait et propre. Nous avons vraiment aimée notre nuit à ce Ryokan

La calidad y precio concuerdan

I am extremely disappointed in my experience here. I have been staying connected with the host to reserve private onsen for myself but the time I wanted was reserved and not available. I was offered a time that I’m not available but the staff kept saying why can’t I change my plans to meet their reserved time or do the mixed gender baths. The staff lack the ability to communicate in English. This space is small and not worthwhile. I traveled back and forth but didn’t get to dip in an onsen once. I’m extremely disappointed and frustrated about the ability to communicate with the staff while they kept saying “it’s ok, it’s ok” but nothing is okay. There are too many restrictions and limited reservation times for onsen. Might be worthwhile to go to a 24 hour onsen then book them but you risk not having much privacy. The staff also have false information about luggage delivery and sent me to a convenience store 3 minutes away then I had to take it back to the hotel because the convenience store doesn’t deliver. This hotel doesn’t seem to have escalators or elevators available so have fun if you’re on the third floor.

Clean and staff!

Todo muy bien

This is a great way to experience an “authentic” ryokan - it has bathroom facilities but otherwise it’s futon, tatami matting and green tea. But the best feature by far was the ‘ofuro’ the delightful hot bath. A booking gets a guest 50 minutes of calm relaxation. Remember that there are no meals but there are plenty of small local places for dinner and breakfast. Just delightful!

Confortable. Le Onsen très bien!!! Malheureusement, il y avait un odeur terrible d’égout dans la chambre. Odeur provenant de la salle de bain

The location is in a quiet area with lots of restaurants (though be aware many close by 6 pm). Room is a good size, but there is no elevator and stairs to the second floor are quite steep - something to be aware of if you have mobility issues. Matress on tatami floor was very firm, but comforter is warm and fluffy. There is no way to darken the windows, though, so light comes in throughout the night from a neighbouring sign, and it only gets brighter as the dawn starts. There is also minimal/no sound priifing - we could hear every whisper in the hall, every door opening and clicking shut, and music from another room throughout the evening. Private onsen time is nice, and the water is quite hot but comfortable (for us). The bathing area is clean. The massage chairs were nice to use after soaking in the onsen.

The room was very nicely appointed and clean. The onsen was great, especially as you could book it for private use. The area is charming and central. Would recommend.

Leuk en behulpzaam personeel, locatie dicht bij Nara park en leuke winkels/restaurantjes. Lekkere privé onsen!

This was a great place to stay. Having a private bathing time in the onsen was so great. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. It was the perfect location for access to historical sites. There was a lot of great shopping nearby as well.
