Shin Hosono Station × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan - 4Page Number

Thank you for providing excellent service. The house was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped, which made our stay very satisfying. Fruits and bread were provided, allowing us to enjoy a delicious breakfast. Above all, the handwritten message added a warm and personal touch. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

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).

We stayed for one night as a family of four after returning from USJ. First, we checked in around 9 PM, and the floor heating was on, making it warm and very appreciated. The abundance of complimentary welcome sweets, drinks, and amenities made us feel the hospitality, which was delightful. The building is a well-renovated old house, so you can feel traces of the past here and there, but the simple and tasteful design and interior allowed us to have a very pleasant stay. The highlight is the location, about a 5-minute walk to Todai-ji Temple, and you can also see the Great Buddha Hall of Todai-ji from the second floor. The luxury of being able to take a leisurely walk to Todai-ji during the early morning when there are fewer tourists is unique to this place. Overall, we were satisfied, but I would like to mention two points we noticed. The barrel sauna, which we were looking forward to, was quite good, but there was only one wooden bench in the relaxation space, and there were no chairs with backrests or infinity chairs, which seemed like a missed opportunity. Also, we added firewood to the fireplace and lit it with the provided gas burner, but only large logs were available, and since the lid had to remain open while lighting with the burner, smoke filled the room, causing a family member with weak respiratory health to start coughing, so we closed the lid early, and the fire went out midway. It would be nice if kindling-sized wood could also be provided. If these two points could be improved, I believe it would become an even more wonderful Facility.

Perfect for sightseeing in Nara City. Close to a bus stop and a rental bicycle share station, which is a great advantage. I would like to use it again on my next visit to Nara. Thank you very much!

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.

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.

The Room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. I wish I had been able to prepare in advance with a better understanding of the Room’s layout and amenities.\nI’d like to stay here again if I visit Nara.

Both the front entrance key and the Room key are electronic locks, so I was able to complete everything from check-in to check-out without meeting anyone, and it was very comfortable—like staying at home. All the essentials were provided, and I appreciated being able to stay with great value for money. Since it’s a loft, I think this Accommodation is ideal for those who don’t mind going up and down the stairs.

This unmanned facility system was initially a bit concerning, but it turned out to be very convenient and stress-free. Although I was hesitant about sending a photo of my face via email beforehand, entering the code sent by email at the entrance and room worked perfectly as a key replacement. The location is excellent, right by Sarusawa Pond. However, it's unfortunate that the frosted glass windows prevent you from enjoying the view of the pond from the room. I knew in advance that pajamas were not provided, so I brought my own and didn't expect much else in terms of amenities. However, the room was well-equipped with a microwave, bottled water, coffee, tea, and more. The room and bed were also clean. The shower water pressure in the bathroom was weak, and perhaps because it was an extremely cold day, the heating wasn't very effective. Additionally, I could hear loud footsteps from upstairs quite clearly—whether this is due to structural issues or just inconsiderate guests above remains unclear.
