A typical room, but it comes at a hefty price...
Hotel is expensive, and has a lot of constraints:
- CURFEW AT 10pm (see below)
- check out at 10am
- lots of stairs (hotel is not disability-friendly)
- no option to eat, either in or around the hotel. Restaurants downtown are a rip-off
- very few facilities around
VERY IMPORTANT: the hotel has a CURFEW AT 10pm.
That's right: 10pm... and it's strictly enforced.
Even Cinderella had until midnight to enjoy the company of her Prince!
If you had planned a romantic trip with your significant other, this is going to ruin your experience in so many ways:
- "Oh sorry darling, I know this is a wonderful night but we must be back before 10pm..."
- "Oh sorry darling, I know you wanted to see more of nearby Kyoto but we must go back already..."
After 10pm you'll have to sleep with all the deer that populate Nara...
Regarding the management:
- the only person who barely speaks English may be called by the reception through loudspeaker... (not kidding!)
- poor service. Should consider a different profession
In short:
- Expensive
- Hotel not suitable for a romantic getaway ("sorry darling, but our 'hotel' has a stupid curfew")
- Hotel not suitable for any other purpose
Not worth it.
