Higashi-Ikoma Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

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’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.

This was my first time staying at a Daiwa Roynet Group Hotel with a same-day Reservation. I was impressed by the wide selection of amenities. The Room was spacious and well designed; although it was on a lower floor, it was quiet and comfortable. The Onsen after walking around all day was very relaxing. I would like to stay again.

I had a very comfortable two-night stay. The Hotel was worth more than the accommodation fee. All drinks were provided, and they generously replenished the bottled water as well (though I didn’t take any to go). In particular, there were two sets of pillows—one soft and one firmer—which was great for me. The bathroom also had a separate washing area. I honestly wondered if this price was really okay.

It was new and easy to use, and the staff were cheerful and refreshingly attentive. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed it with three types of Nara sake. We signed up for the Horyu-ji storyteller tour the next day, and were amazed by how wonderful the guide was. The materials, storytelling, and pacing were all excellent, and everyone was very satisfied. This is a Hotel we would definitely love to visit again.

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!

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.

I was able to stay at a very affordable price. It was even better because it included breakfast and was inexpensive. I was also surprised by the wide variety of breakfast options to choose from. The Facilities were well equipped, and I was especially impressed by the ReFa hair dryer. I would like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

My wife and I stayed in a Room with lounge access. The Room was clean and comfortable. The lounge was cozy, and the staff were very pleasant. Great value for money. This was our second stay, and we’d like to make it our regular Accommodation in Nara.

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 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.

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.

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

I stayed during the rainy season. The parking lot is a bit far, and the entrance is narrow, so I had to be careful. However, depending on the parking space, it was convenient for loading and unloading luggage. The first floor serves as an entrance area with a convenience store attached, which was very helpful for any last-minute needs. The reception counter is on the second floor, where breakfast is also served. Welcome drinks are available at certain times with a wide variety to choose from. Although I accidentally spilled some in the elevator while deciding what to pick, the staff quickly provided cleaning supplies and assisted me promptly. The breakfast area is small, so securing seats was challenging for families. However, it was great to enjoy local specialties like Nara's famous persimmon leaf sushi and Narazuke pickles. Even with small children in tow, we found the room very clean and comfortable. We stayed in a Room with a loft bed that allowed our family to relax comfortably. The location is very close to the station. We were able to park slightly earlier (with an additional fee) and go sightseeing by train conveniently. There are izakayas and stylish restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, so finding dinner options wasn’t an issue at all. Umbrella rentals were available as well; we borrowed one for dinner outings at night without worrying about dealing with wet umbrellas upon returning to our Room. Overall, staying here was an excellent experience! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

The open-air bath, Facility, and amenities were excellent! However, the check-in process was a bit confusing, and I still don't know the correct way to check in. It was a Hotel that makes me want to visit again.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We had a wonderful time. We took a morning bath and were able to relax.

We stayed in a sunny corner Room with a great view, and thanks to the nice weather we had a wonderfully refreshing time. The night view was perfect as well. The meals were outstanding—we enjoyed fresh duck and boar with no odor at all, delicately seasoned and elegant in flavor. Breakfast also came with many small side dishes, so satisfying that you’ll want seconds of rice; I recommend the plan with both dinner and breakfast included. It seems to be an older building, but once inside it is kept very clean, with no dustiness at all. Everything is well maintained and thoroughly cleaned. The proprietress was also very kind, and I would love to see her again. If you’re sightseeing around Nara Station it may feel a bit far, but the area around this Ryokan offers wonderful views from Mt. Ikoma and lets you enjoy a different side of Nara’s scenery, so I highly recommend it.

We stayed for two nights as a group of seven for a girls' gathering. Overall, it exceeded our expectations, and it turned out to be a great trip that makes us want to use it again! ○ Positive Points - The place had a clean feel overall, with a large living and dining area where everyone could enjoy video games and meals together. - UberEATS was available, and there were a supermarket and convenience store within a 3-minute walk, making it very convenient for daily needs. - Karaoke was available at any time during the allowed hours, with a wide selection of songs on JOYSOUND. - There were shower booths and bathtubs on both the first and second floors, allowing a large group to bathe smoothly. - There were three hairdryers, so even with a large number of women, there was no trouble using them after bathing. - The washing machine had a drying function, allowing us to reduce the amount of clothing we brought. However, there were a few points that caught our attention during our stay, so we rated it 4 stars, hoping for even better service. ○ Points for Improvement - There was no "laundry detergent" as listed in the amenities, so we had to purchase it ourselves. - Some of the dishes and cooking utensils stored on the shelves were somewhat dirty (such as spatulas, plates, and cutting boards). - There was a sound delay with the speakers during karaoke, making it difficult to use the microphone and rendering the precise scoring feature almost non-functional. For future guests, please consider the following: - The scale was broken, and there was no measuring cup for the rice cooker, so if you plan to cook, it might be a good idea to bring your own. - Karaoke is not available from 11 PM to 6 AM due to local regulations (there is a notice inside the accommodation).

The room design was excellent, and the cute flowers placed here and there added a warm touch. The food was outstanding, and we enjoyed it at our own pace with in-room dining. The staff who served us were pleasant, and all other staff members were attentive, leaving no room for any unpleasant experiences. We would definitely love to stay again!

This Plan offered excellent value—an Asian Suite Room and teppanyaki at this price, even during a three-day holiday weekend, plus Earn Points back. I would definitely like to stay again.
