The room is very basic and pretty old. We had a street facing room, and every little noise was heard loudly in the room (street noise continued until late and started early). It was challenging to communicate with the hotel staff in English. The hotel location is pretty good - right in the center. On the other hand, it's a pretty small city so maybe location is not that critical in this case. ##### Amit Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### wb 9 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### So close to Nara Park I liked this hotel. Very nice staff, great breakfast and literally across the street from Nara Park. One thing to note is the 10pm curfew at this hotel. If you're not back in before then, you'll have to find somewhere else to stay. That wasn't an issue for me, but I can see how that could a problem for some. I wasn't sure about the Japanese futon bed, but it was very comfy! Would stay here again!! ##### wb Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Carole 5 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Chambre japonaise face à la Pagode de Nara Chambre de type japonais: grande, avec salle de bain et toilettes à part.

Les futons sont mis en place pendant votre absence et il y avait un petit balcon qui donnait sur le parc et une pagode :) ##### Stephane Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Terence 25 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good Japanese Experience Excellent location - we can see deers from our room. One female and one male public baths made the stay very relaxing. Love the seating beside windows - great for people watching during the day. Very quiet at night. Breakfast is in a private room. Love the Japanese experience. ##### Terence Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Amy 21 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice traditional inn We had a pleasant stay at Daibutsukan in mid October. The staff was friendly and accommodating, in particular the young woman who prepared our room and breakfast. The staff mostly speaks Japanese and we only had a limited vocabulary, but we were able to communicate well enough. The location was ideal for accessing Nara Park and was convenient for exploring the town. Nara Station is a little ways away, but we found it easy enough to walk with our rolling suitcases from the station to the ryokan. Others may not find that to be the case, however. We enjoyed the traditional accommodations and found the futons to be quite comfortable. The bathroom is small, but we did not find this to be a problem for us. Breakfast was filling and tasty. The spas (one for men and another for women) are basic, but clean and comfortable for a short soak. After we checked out of the room the staff was able to hold our luggage while we explored until 2pm. If you're looking for traditional accommodations in Nara I would recommend Diabutsukan. ##### Amy Verified ### 8/10 Good #### CHIEN-KAI 5 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 可以看見奈良鹿的飯店。。。 整體算是乾淨且空間不小的房間，窗戶面對馬路早上可以看見奈良鹿走過，只是有門禁時間。。。 ##### CHIEN-KAI Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pierre 27 Sept 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Expensive, poor service, 10pm curfew. 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. ##### Pierre Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ひじもん 31 Aug 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 興福寺の五重塔の真ん前！ 奈良観光にとても便利！ 昭和を感じさせる雰囲気のよい旅館です。 きっちりと掃き清められた清潔なお宿で、気持ちよくゆったりと過ごせます！ ##### ひじもん Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### travis 12 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Old world (1960's) Japanese luxury sustained Lay in bed (futon) and look directly across the quiet street onto deer grazing at the world heritage pagoda..... does it get better? This hotel was probably extremely upmarket in the 60's - and I'd say that absolutely nothing has changed since that time (other than the staff have probably aged in line with the hotel). Don't get me wrong - this hotel is amazing in a 1960's kitch way. The onsen is terrific and you pretty much have it to yourself. the service is very attentive, including Japanese tea on arrival. Wifi was good. From memory the only negative thing was the 10pm curfew....though by that time the town has closed and gone to sleep so it's really not to big a deal. (Last orders for food for many restaurants in Nara are very early - we got caught out by this a little). You simply won't find a better located cheap hotel. A must stay (if u have a little humour). ##### travis Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mei Yee 25 Jun 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 不會再住! 非常舊 ! 有異味 ! 地點好 ! ##### Mei Yee Verified ### 8/10 Good #### K 27 May 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### LOCATION! A family run ryokan, this makes up in kindness and character what it lacks in facilities. It's location is so close to Kofukuji that you are practically staying on temple grounds & it is literally a stone's throw from Nara koen. I would definitely stay again. ##### K Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lok Sin 27 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 失望 服務不太好，寄存行李服務只可到每天下午3：00pm，十分不方便。房間沒有WiFi，浴室十分狹窄。 ##### Lok Sin Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Lawrence 22 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness #### O.K. for the price. Rather typical low budget japanese ryokan. No food services, not even breakfast. Neighborhood was good, but road outside our room noisy with scooters and motorcycles. ##### Lawrence Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice traditional Japanese accommodation Nice traditional Japanese accommodation in a good location.
