  • 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.
