This was a nice hotel in a great location with a good staff. It was nice that they had free movies in English on the TV. Be aware the room is really tight which may be problematic if you have a lot of luggage or may be a bit claustrophobic if you were planning to do any work.

It is in such a convenient location, two blocks away from some major Nara Temples, I was surprised 5 min away from the Hotel, deers are around meeting with Tourists already. As other APA locations, it is very convenient from Kyoto to take Kintetsu Limited Express Train to arrive and leaving same as for Osaka direction. For me, it is a “hidden gem” hotel to stay.

The hotel was close to Kintetsu-Nara Station - definitely walkable for anyone. The location of the hotel was on a street that had decent restaurants and a lot of dessert cafes. It was a very centralized location in my opinion. The walk to Nara Park is about 30 minutes. Luggage storage prior to check-in was smooth, no issues. My room was clean and comfortable. The lighting and A/C settings panel was digital, which was easy to use and convenient to control from one location in the room. The wide screen TV was located on the wall in front of the bed which made it very comfortable to watch a movie to wind down at the end of the day. Overall, it was a good first experience at an APA hotel.

朝食付きのプランでしたが、朝食が豪華すぎます。ちょっとしたコースみたいな構成で、朝からこんなに食べられないよ！と思っちゃいます。 そして、手間がかかる分、席も空かないので、朝7時台に食べようと思った人は、かなり待たされたようです。 待ちが長いと、客もスタッフの方もイライラして、そこも辛いところ。 朝から、このレベルの美味しい食事を出そうという熱意は買いますが、個人的には、もっと普通のばいきんくや、簡易なメニューで良いと感じました。 努力と意気込みは高評価です！
