สถานีกากุเอ็นมาเอะ (จังหวัดนาระ) × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง - 2หน้า

Close to the station, near major sightseeing spots, and affordable—that’s why I chose it, and it turned out to be even better than expected (great value for the price). The luggage storage before check-in was very helpful. The twin Room was slightly larger than a typical Business Hotel Room and was very clean. The bathroom area in particular was spotless—not a trace of water stains or mold. I was truly impressed. The breakfast bread was thick, fluffy, and delicious. Also, the staff member who helped us at breakfast greeted us with a constant smile, which made the morning feel wonderful. At check-out, a deer saw us off at the door—another memorable moment. On my next trip to Nara, I’d definitely like to stay here again.

I have stayed here many times. It’s always wonderful no matter when I visit. Not only is it stylish and uplifting, but the food is delicious and all the staff are very kind. Thank you as always. I’ll be back again soon.

I didn’t expect to find such a great Hotel in such a convenient location. There’s a lounge where you can relax after sightseeing, local cuisine unique to the area, and many other features that make for a clean Room and a comfortable stay. The service was also excellent, and I had no stress at all. I’ll definitely consider staying here again the next time I visit Nara. Thank you!

We stayed here with four people for sightseeing in Nara the other day. The Room was spacious, with four beds, a large sofa, and a table, so we were able to stay very comfortably. The bath, toilet, and washbasin were separate, which was very convenient. It is adjacent to Kintetsu Nara Station, making it easy to get anywhere! Above all, it offers great value for money. We would love to stay here again if we visit Nara in the future.

I stayed at this accommodation last year and had a great experience, so I decided to stay again this year. The staff were kind, provided excellent service, and made my stay very comfortable. There was also a New Year's Eve event, which was enjoyable. I will definitely use this accommodation again next year.

I loved the experience of staying halfway up Mt. Wakakusa, and this was my second stay. I was able to spend a truly relaxing time. I think this is an auberge where you can enjoy ingredients from Nara. The carefully prepared dinner is exceptional, and with advice from the experienced sommelier, you may find yourself enjoying more drinks than planned. All baths are always kept clean. The in-Room bath, indoor bath, and private panoramic open-air bath all provide high-quality shampoo, conditioner, and other amenities in full-size bottles. What I especially recommend: - Soaking in the complimentary private panoramic open-air bath while taking in sweeping views of the cityscape of Nara - The complimentary “New Japan’s Three Greatest Night Views” and stargazing tour (you might even see deer) This is a Hotel I hope to stay at again.

Located right in front of JR Nara Station, it was very convenient and comfortable. Here are the highlights: 1) The breakfast buffet was excellent, with freshly baked bread, roasted green tea rice porridge, and medicinal curry—all delicious. 2) A wide variety of welcome drinks were available for extended hours. 3) The hotel is in a very convenient location with views of Nara Station. You can easily buy late-night snacks at the supermarket inside the station building, and Starbucks and the bus stops are right in front.

We stayed at “Sakura.” The Room was very spacious and spotless! The Accommodation is surrounded by trees, and the view from the window was beautiful and truly relaxing. The meals were delicious, and we were very satisfied—the decorative cuts of the ingredients and the stylish tableware made everything look adorable as well. We could enjoy our meal calmly with in-room dining. All staff kindly helped us with everything, including welcoming us, adjusting the meal content (for pregnancy), and lending us a steam iron. Their warm, gentle hospitality really stood out. The bath was a large hinoki-wood bath, and amenities such as shampoo and lotion were Aesop with a wonderful fragrance. It’s also close to sightseeing spots like Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Nara Park, so we highly recommend it if you’re visiting Nara! We made unforgettable memories. We’ll be back as a family of three after our baby is born!

This was my fifth stay, but I mistakenly checked in on the wrong Reservation date. Thanks to the support of all the staff, I was able to stay by paying an additional fee. I’m truly very grateful. I look forward to staying again.

I’m a repeat guest with over 30 stays. Since it will become a dog-friendly Accommodation starting in April, I stayed one last time and will miss it. The food was delicious, and the bath was excellent. Breakfast was also great, but I’m now considering new Accommodations for future trips. Thank you very much.

We stayed here for sightseeing in Nara. It’s right in front of the station and within walking distance of the main attractions, so we were able to go sightseeing twice—on both the first and second days. Since check-out was not until 11:00, we could leave our luggage at the Hotel and enjoy sightseeing at a relaxed pace, which was great. We were also surprised to see about 10 deer casually hanging around in a park(?) just a few dozen meters from the Hotel—it really felt like Nara. The Hotel rates were reasonable, and the breakfast selection was plentiful and delicious. As for the Room, it was a bit inconvenient that when boiling water with the kettle, the power outlet was located above the TV and hard to use. My daughter is staying overnight in Nara this month to meet up with friends, and based on my recommendation she plans to stay at Smile Hotel. Thank you in advance. We would also like to stay here again when we visit Nara.

Just before check-out, my grandfather who was traveling with us became unwell, and the gentleman at the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful. At dinner, they even specially chopped the food into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful care from a middle-aged female staff member. All of the staff were very kind. The hospitality was outstanding!

Thank you for your suggestions for the Roku-chan Room. We’re also cherishing the kofun cushion we purchased at home. Although we originally planned to stay overnight, we ended up enjoying many things more than expected. We were able to stay until late and relax at our own pace. Thank you very much for everything.

I enjoyed watching the Omizutori ceremony at Todaiji Nigatsudo and had a pleasant stay with that feeling lingering. The room was functional and clean, with a spacious and relaxing bathroom. It is a rare and refreshing new accommodation in Nara.

I’m not a fan of twin-bed-style mattresses in a Japanese-style room. I hesitated even after seeing the photos at the time of Reservation, but when I arrived and asked for a standard Japanese-style room, they kindly agreed right away and said they could remove the mattresses immediately. Thanks to that, I was able to sleep comfortably on traditional futon bedding in the tatami room. If there were information stating that switching to a standard Japanese-style setup is possible, I think it would appeal to a wider range of guests.

The Room was clean, and since I went to the large public bath early, it was almost private and very comfortable. The meals were delicious, and the explanations of each dish were polite and easy to understand. Although I was traveling solo, I had a wonderful trip. Later that night, I regretted not requesting a humidifier—I realized they might have been able to provide one if I had asked in advance. Overall, I was very satisfied. Thank you very much.

We stayed to celebrate a special anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience that far exceeded our expectations. From the surprise arrangements to the warm words from the staff, we felt genuine hospitality throughout, and our whole family was able to relax from the heart. The food was delicious, and this is an outstanding Hotel where you can feel attention to detail in every aspect. Thanks to this Hotel, we were able to do something truly meaningful for our parents. Thank you very much for making our special day even more memorable.

The Hotel is located on lively Sanjo Street, close to JR Nara Station. Getting to Kintetsu Nara Station is also enjoyable, as you can walk through the shopping arcade and browse various shops. Kofuku-ji Temple and Nara Park are easy to find—just head east along Sanjo Street—making it a great base for sightseeing. The Hotel is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. With supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, it’s very convenient, and I would like to stay here again when visiting Nara.

I was surprised that no one at the station could help. Even after arriving at the Accommodation, it was hard to find my way around, and the layout inside was confusing. However, the meals and bath were great, so I was able to relax.

With sightseeing spots nearby, a large public bath, and a delicious breakfast, we were very satisfied.
