Incredible gem of a hotel. I travel 5-6 weeks per year in Japan and stay in a variety of hotels/ryokans, from capsule to Ritz Carlton. Of any stays, aside ryokans with private onsen, this was the best shower/bath I have experienced on all my travels to date. Long, deep bath tub and rain shower (should be ok if you are less than 185 cm tall). Room is not large but l very well laid out and did not feel small. Breakfast is not a buffet , but a set meal of choice between Japanese or western. It was well balanced and tasted great. The staff was very friendly and professional. Location is excellent: 1 min from train station and easy walking station e to Nara park and todaiji. For the cost, this is the best quality to cost ratio I have experienced.
