Booked this a a traditional Japanese experience for my family. Our host was lovely and very attentive giving us cold drinks and cold towels because it was so warm outside. There was a choice of Japanese or Western breakfast. Both were excellent, especially the Japanese which had fish, omelette, noodles and tea. Quiet area but restaurants nearby.

An incredibly nice, welcoming and fantastic host. A wonderful homemade breakfast, beautifully presented and very tasty! Very comfortable futons/beds, our most recharging night in a simple but lovely place.

This was my favourite stay in Japan. It was a lovely experience to stay in a traditional Ryokan with tatami mats, futons, Shoji and fluffy doonas. Our hosts were friendly, warm and helpful with good English communication. We arrived a few hours before our check in time but were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. Hospitality extended to a delicious fluffy cream filled sponge waiting for us on our return to our room, and a delicious western style breakfast including bacon and eggs and freshly brewed black coffee (our choice, a Japanese breakfast also on offer) at a beautifully laid out table. Our kids loved the croissants and breads with fruity jams, the yogurt and freshly squeezed apple juice. Our hostess also instructed our daughter to make some traditional green tea. I left belongings which they organized to be sent to my next accommodation. These arrived the next day. (A Sunday !!!!). Very fond memories of this place. :)

The breakfast was incredible-- and the host was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful traditional room as well. The location was a little difficult to find for non-Japanese speakers. The shared bathroom and lack of of privacy (simply a paper wall between you and your neighbor) is charming if you want that experience but could be a slight set back if you are counting on some privacy. Very nice experience overall.

Modest Room on Second Floor of Private Residence
Located at a hard-to-find address in a modest neighborhood of Nara, this private residence offers one traditional Japanese room (not the several implied by its Web site, which shows pictures of the same room from different angles and alternate furnishings) at the top of narrow stairs, with a balcony used for storing cleaning and laundry supplies overlooking a parking lot. Clean toilet and bath located in adjoining hall, shared with another even more modest room. Bring your own sandals, arrange your own futons and maybe horse your bags up the stairs. The owner (only "staff" we encountered) tries mightily, providing tea, dinner and breakfast. No other facilities and no alcohol available aside from homemade sake unless the owner is asked to go shopping. This is not a hotel but a room on the second floor of a private residence, a B&B in European or American terms.

Great place
Hotel was homestyle. Comfortable. Host was really really really nice! She cooked us breakfast at 5:30 AM when we had to leave early. Her puppy is also amazing. Highly recommended.

Traditioneel Japans
Dicht bij het station en 10 minuten met de bus. Weg bij alle toeristen maar alles in de buurt. Wandelen naar de deer park is goed te doen. Ontvangst is zeer vriendelijk. Geen luxe maar authentiek Japans. Wij vonden het erg leuk. Het ontbijt voor de volgende dag kun je kiezen uit Europees of Japans. Logisch voor ons om Japans te kiezen. Deze was bijzonder lekker en meer dan voldoende. Al met al een heel fijn verblijf en wil hierbij de host nogmaals bedanken.

Das Hotel erreicht man am Besten mit dem Bus. Der Bus pendelt im und gegen den Uhrzeigersinn zwischen den Tepelanlagen und der JR-Station. Eine Haltestelle liegt in der Nähe des Hotels.

潤 ほとびる
潤と書いて、ほとびるという名のホテル。 方言で潤うこと、リラックスする事を「ほとびる」という様です。 その名の通り、「ほとびる」想いでした。 家庭的で、三泊四日お世話になりましたが、自分の家の様に 気楽に過ごさせて頂きました。 食事は朝だけお願いしましたが、女将さんの心のこもった手作り料理で、 これこそ料理だ、といったもので、とても感激しました。

通常のホテルでの宿泊も良いが、
風情のある閑静な居住エリアの民家を利用したホテル。場所的には、ループバスで、比較的簡単に、東大寺や奈良駅(JR、近鉄)にアクセスでき、徒歩でも奈良町を散策できる距離。女将さんの朝食がとても美味しかった！

立地が分かりずらいですが、奥さんの料理は最高！ 疲れ果てて、食事をする店を探すのが嫌になり、無理と承知でお願いしたら、快諾！夫婦喧嘩回避！幸せな気分になれました！ 朝食も量、質共に最高レベル。 犬が嫌いでなければ、最高のゲストハウスだと思います。
