Shin Hosono Station × Recommended Accommodation For Solo Male TravelersHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan - 2Page Number

I realized the day before our stay that I had mistakenly made a Reservation for a smoking Room, and when I called, you kindly changed it to a non-smoking Room—thank you very much. Our trip could have been ruined otherwise. Also, as a pleasant surprise, we found out at the restaurant that alcohol was included with the meal. I wish this had been stated on the booking site. The children said there were not many soft drink options. The Facility itself is old, but the service was great and everyone left satisfied. The price is reasonable, so we would like to stay again.

The location is close to Sarusawa Pond, making it convenient for sightseeing. Naramachi is also nearby, so you can enjoy dining and shopping as well. The Hotel itself is not new, but it has everything you need, and the Room size feels just right. The staff were kind and courteous, and they also helped with recommendations for places to eat. I chose the plan with breakfast included. It was buffet-style, and everything was carefully prepared—delicious and enjoyable. I looked forward to breakfast every morning. I arrived by rental car, but there is no dedicated Hotel parking lot. You can park at a flat rate in the adjacent (Mitsui) coin parking lot, but if it’s full you’ll need to find another option yourself. I spent the mornings exploring within walking distance and drove farther out in the afternoon, then returned in the evening to park again. At that time of day, it seemed like day-trippers were leaving, so it worked out well for me. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again when I visit Nara.

The staff are wonderful. Guidance and help with any issues were handled smoothly, and everyone was full of kindness. I could really feel their pride in their work. The property was clean, and the breakfast was excellent! I’ve come to love Nara!! Next time, I’d like to stay a little longer. Thank you very much.

The Room was small, but it was more than enough for one person. It was my first solo trip in a while, and I had a very pleasant stay. The Room was thoroughly cleaned and felt very comfortable. Check-in went smoothly, and the staff explained everything carefully. They had a memory foam pillow at the exact same height as the one I use at home, so I slept very well. Breakfast was also delicious. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Arriving drenched in sweat, I was able to take a breather right away in the lounge with the complimentary shaved ice service. It felt like the best kind of hospitality. The Room felt smaller than I expected, but everything was pleasantly well kept and I had a comfortable stay. Joining the morning walk was also worthwhile—I learned things for the first time thanks to the guide’s explanations, making it a meaningful experience. All of the staff were friendly and courteous. With Kofuku-ji Temple, Nara Park, and the station all nearby, it’s an ideal location for sightseeing, so I’d definitely like to stay here again when I visit Nara.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, and we had a wonderful stay. It was a three-generation trip with my daughter and grandchild, and it became a great memory. We are truly grateful—thank you very much.

Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the station, I stayed for one night at a very reasonable price. I was able to use the parking lot, and there were also nearby parking options if you arrived early (they were full by evening). This time I wanted to eat at the nearby Matsuya (since there isn’t one near where I live), so I didn’t use the breakfast service. Overall, everything was clean, it wasn’t noisy, and I had a comfortable stay. However, the only disappointing point was that the entrance vestibule didn’t seem to be well cleaned. Since the entrance is the face of the Hotel, it’s a shame when cleaning isn’t thorough there.

This time we stayed for two nights. On the first day, we took the airport limousine bus from Itami, got off at Yamato-Saidaiji, and visited Akishino-dera Temple. On the second day, we went to Matsuo-dera Temple from Yamato-Koizumi in the morning and had lunch at Edogawa. On the third day, we relaxed in the large public bath on the 6th floor and enjoyed the Onsen. As always, it was a comfortable two-night stay and made for a wonderful trip to Nara. We look forward to staying with you again—thank you very much.

Neither particularly good nor bad. It’s a bit of a walk from Nara Station and Kintetsu-Nara Station. There was a family restaurant right outside on the first floor, and it would have been more comfortable if they could offer some kind of service, such as a half-price coupon, if possible.

The location is probably the best among the Hotels in that area. Also, since we used connecting rooms for three people, we were able to sleep comfortably.

It was my first time back in Nara in a while, and I stayed with my son. Thank you for kindly responding to my inquiries in advance. If I had to mention anything, the flushing sound from the toilet felt quite loud, and although I had seen online that pillows and pajamas could be selected, there was no 안내 at check-in. I was only able to borrow them after asking. (Another family who rode the elevator with us said the same thing.) Other than that, we had a very comfortable stay. I would like to stay again.

Even though I arrived much later than the check-in time, the staff kindly accommodated me. I also enjoyed the wide variety of baths! Just one thing: many guests were barefoot inside the building, which I understand since it’s an Onsen, but if possible, it would be nice to have Japanese-style indoor footwear available (the disposable slippers in the Room were a bit small and hard to walk in), so those who want to wear them would have that option. Sorry for such a luxury request. I’m grateful to the kind front desk staff and to everyone on the team.

The parking lot was spacious and easy to park in. The breakfast bread was freshly baked, and even during a Multiple Night Stay, we were happy to have several different types of bread each day. If sparkling water had been available with the evening welcome drink, it might have been even more enjoyable. Since the room access uses a PIN code, it was convenient not having to carry a card or key around.

The space and hospitality are impeccable. If you’re planning to stay in Nara, I highly recommend staying here at least once.

We stayed here with our children while sightseeing in Nara. There were kid-friendly events such as a festival plaza, so we could enjoy the Ryokan rather than just spending time in our Room. The Onsen was simple but wonderfully warming, and we were very satisfied with the breakfast buffet, including the variety of dishes as well as drinks and desserts. The staff’s hospitality was also pleasant. Thank you very much.

The front desk staff were kind, there was a welcome drink, a large public bath, and breakfast—especially the curry—was delicious. When I checked in, the front desk staff said, “It was hot outside, wasn’t it? Please enjoy plenty of cold drinks,” which made me very happy. I went ahead and made my next Reservation right away. I’m looking forward to staying again.

Thank you for having me for one night. I had made a Reservation for a standard Room, but since rain was forecast, I changed to a Room with an open-air Onsen bath on the day. Choosing to soak at a slightly cooler temperature while listening to the rain turned out to be exactly right. The Room was well designed and functional, and I didn’t feel any particular inconvenience. If I had to name one thing I personally wished for, it would be a Bluetooth speaker—I wanted to play a little music, though that may be asking too much. I arrived before noon, left my luggage, and had lunch at “Saryo Sese” on the property (I had requested seats in advance). It’s not cheap, but it was relaxed and enjoyable. After that, I spent some time walking around the city and then checked in properly. The evening champagne free-flow was also wonderfully unhurried, and the rice crackers served as snacks were delicious. For dinner we ate at one of the Hotel restaurants as well; each dish had its own character, and it paired nicely with drinks. If anything, I only wished there were a bar in the Hotel—this is an Accommodation with an atmosphere where having somewhere for “one more drink” would fit perfectly. The area around the Hotel is very quiet too, so even a small bar could really change how you spend your time here. That said, given the location, waking up early to stroll toward Todai-ji in the calm morning is also lovely—and perhaps that kind of stay suits this Accommodation and setting better than staying up late. The concierge team helped me greatly throughout my stay. Overall it was an excellent Accommodation, and I’d love to return when I visit Nara again.

It was a very clean and beautiful Hotel. It felt new, had no odors, and was cleaned with great care. There were not many guests on the day we stayed, but it was very quiet with no noise, so we could relax peacefully. It is conveniently located close to the station and sightseeing spots. The Japanese-made toothbrush provided was easy to use and very nice. Small touches like this show how much they care about their guests. I would love to stay here again when I travel to Nara. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We truly appreciate being able to make wonderful memories of our trip to Nara.

I stayed for one night, and the Room was clean and had a humidifier, so I was able to spend my time very comfortably. You can shop at the shopping street in front of the station, and since it’s about a 5–6 minute walk to the station, it wasn’t a hassle to go out to a convenience store if I needed anything else. Access to Todaiji Temple and the National Museum is also great—they’re within walking distance. As for the Facility amenities, both the bathroom shower and hair dryer are ReFa. The bath is not an Onsen, but the tub water level is preset automatically; it fills all the way up, and when I stretched out my tired legs and soaked in it, the water overflowed and my fatigue just melted away. The bath towels and face towels were thick and fluffy. The towel by the toilet is thin. Refrigerators in Business Hotels often don’t get very cold, but this one gets ice-cold. Beer tastes great as well. There were three cars parked in the parking lot, so I knew there were three other groups staying besides me. Inside, I could occasionally hear faint signs of others, but I never ran into anyone, and it didn’t feel noisy at all at night. There’s also a small bakery right next door that opens from 8:00 a.m., so I bought something there for breakfast. I usually make Reservations at Hotels with a front desk, but choosing this place was truly the right decision. From now on, whenever I go to Nara, I will definitely stay here again.

The phone service was excellent, so I looked forward to my stay. The front desk service was also good, and the room was very clean and comfortable. I went to the Genji no Yu bath.
