Naramachi, 0.4 km from Nara Craft Museum

"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel that definitely feels like a true 4-star property. The rooms are a bit uncomfortable, though, and the bed layout honestly reminds me of a hospital bed, lol. On the bright side, the rooftop and amenities are really nice! There’s no self-service laundry, but they offer a laundry service for ¥5,500. If you drop off your clothes by 9 AM, they’ll have them ready by 7 PM. Location-wise, it’s about a 30-minute walk from the main Dotonbori area and 15 minutes from the upscale shopping streets. The breakfast options are pretty underwhelming, but overall, it’s a good hotel with some nice features."
