Great view of Nara City at night during the happy hour or morning during breakfast. Basic pillow was traditional Japanese pillow filled with beans or grain. Other softer pillows were available from the front reception area. The hotel is working hard to reduce/eliminate carbon footprint. As a traveler with small luggage at the end...

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (529 reviews)
"Unbeatable value if you're comfortable with a fully automated stay. The property is clean and in an excellent location. The rooms are a bit small, and the included breakfast is just okay. Additionally, there is no visible staff on-site, so you need to be comfortable using an automated system for self-check-in/out and luggage storage. They have a handy vacuum compression unit in the lobby to help you pack your bags. If you don't mind the tech-only approach, it's a clean and well-located budget...
