“Great, friendly ryokan”

We stayed here for two nights in Nara and it was perfect.

We stayed here for two nights in Nara and it was perfect. We originally had a room that was loud due to construction but the staff was very accommodating and moved us to a new room that was quiet and perfect. It is a short walk to Todoji temple, the food is interesting and good and the staff was great. We also tried the onset and had a massage.

“Agradável primeira experiência ryokan.”

Prós:  - Boas-vindas calorosas com chá yuzu e biscoitos de feijão vermelho, a equipe nos deu um tour pelo hotel e nos mostrou um mapa das atrações nas proximidades.  - Muito perto do parque de Nara, a cerca de 10 minutos a pé de muitas atrações.  - Gostei do nosso banho ao ar livre na varanda, embo… Mais

Prós:  - Boas-vindas calorosas com chá yuzu e biscoitos de feijão vermelho, a equipe nos deu um tour pelo hotel e nos mostrou um mapa das atrações nas proximidades.  - Muito perto do parque de Nara, a cerca de 10 minutos a pé de muitas atrações.  - Gostei do nosso banho ao ar livre na varanda, embora um pouco pequeno se você estiver tentando encaixar dois! ; )  - Lindo quarto, o melhor sono que consegui na minha viagem foi nesses futons nos tatames. A vista não era tão boa, mas pelo menos apreciei as montanhas próximas.  - O jantar kaiseki foi uma experiência divertida e o nosso veio com um show de mágica, gostei de cerca de 90% do que foi servido, mas lembre-se de que é muito tradicional, então havia algumas coisas que não eram do nosso gosto. A hospitalidade foi adorável, no entanto. Contras:  - O café da manhã não foi ótimo, se estou sendo sincero. Meu marido gostou muito da opção ocidental, mas infelizmente o café da manhã japonês não era do meu agrado.  - Definitivamente caro, embora a estadia incluísse 2 refeições e o banheiro no quarto, não sei se pagaria esse preço novamente.

“Okay but not so enjoyable”

I really didn't enjoy this hotel so much. It is well located and while smallish the room was decent and clean, in a nice "modern ryokan" style. However, I had two gripes.

I really didn't enjoy this hotel so much. It is well located and while smallish the room was decent and clean, in a nice "modern ryokan" style. However, I had two gripes. The first was that, having tired a little of Japanese breakfasts, we chose for the Western option one morning to be presented with food that was truly horrible - a cold omelette smeared in ketchup and a plate of grilled vegetables swimming in oil. The second is that I found the service almost aggressively obsequious. I could do just as I liked as long as it was what the hotel wanted me to do. This is partly a cultural issue I know but jot wholly, sincerity is something you can feel or not feel, I believe. It is the only hotel I have ever stayed in where I was telephoned at 07:30 a.m. to confirm the time I was having breakfast and then again at 22:45 on the same day to be told that some of my bill had to be paid in cash. Both of these times are rather outside the window of what I consider to be wholly considerate.
