Hotel was a little dated but very clean. Staff is wonderful and the breakfast buffet was great.
Great hotel next to the station, with easy access to Asuka loop bus. Great service, good food, and a wonderful bath and relaxation area with mindful experience.
Only thing nearby (still 14 min away) worthwhile for a tourist is Kashihara Jingu shrine. The hotel itself is beautiful. Kashihara seems like a great place to live though!
The main room was good. Great views and plenty of space to relax. The letdown was the bathroom. It was tiny with very dated fittings and nowhere to put toiletries. It was also at a higher level meaning a really big step down into the main room which was potentially a safety risk.
Wish breakfast was included since it was a bit pricey but other than that it was a great stay, great location! Everything we needed was close to the hotel! 🤗
The room is a bit old and need redecorations. Restaurant and spa are too crowded in my stay period. We have been overcharged the Carpark fee as we were required to pay at reception and carpark exits.
