On our last morning, we had to leave at 6:00 am to catch a flight. We were told breakfast started at 7:00 am and so we would not get anything (impossible) however I find it surprising in a country where the bento lunch box is such an institution, nothing could be done the night before to accommodate us with some sort of breakfast. After all it was almost $ 300 a night to stay and I would have thought the management would make some effort. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 26 Feb 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 東大寺に近い 建物が古く外に面した障子の建て付けが悪かったですが、掃除は行き届いていました。 ご飯はおいしかったです。東大寺に近く、歩いて五分くらいで見えてきます。お散歩するのにいい場所でした。 ブラシが無かったりお風呂場の脱衣所が寒かったのは気になりましたが、仲居さんの接客態度がとても良かったので、総合的には宿泊して良かったです。 ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue, Western Australia 30 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Traditional Ryokan Lovely traditional Ryokan staff very welcoming and patient and willing to explain everything to us.
