2 nights stay in Nara

The location is superb so near to the deer park, dining and shopping area. It is only 15 minutes walk to the deer park. The only thing I don't like is to stay in the first floor, the same floor as the lobby and the window is block by the wall.

Rooms are small, as with most rooms in Japan, but clean and comfortable. Great location - just a 5 minute walk to the national park and right in the centre of the town. Surrounded by restaurants and shops. Solo female traveller & felt very safe here.

The room are super small. It is so small that there is no room for suitcase. But other from that, the faculty is excellent. Restaurants atound the jotel is good, but the hotel's own restaurant is excellent, especially the breakfast. The crossiants are must try item.
