Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

This hotel is right next to Nanyang Park, just a few hundred meters' walk away. It's also in a lively neighborhood, very close to the subway station. I found this hotel to be beyond my expectations; the service was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the environment was clean and well-maintained. It offers great value for money.

The room was spacious enough to open a large suitcase, and there was even a small walk-in closet. The bedding was incredibly comfortable and warm, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep! The service was excellent; unlike some hotels in Osaka, the front desk staff didn't ask for tips upfront. When I left something at the front desk, the gentleman immediately called to ask about it and even arranged for the elevator to wait on my floor. The location is fantastic, very close to all the nearby attractions, and within walking distance! A truly great experience!!

The front desk staff were all friendly and polite, and could communicate in English. We could store our luggage, and were welcome to use the lounge even after checking out. The location is excellent, very close to Kintetsu Nara Station (not JR Station!), which made getting around very convenient. There are many restaurants nearby, and plenty of places to explore on foot. The room was clean and tidy, with all the basic amenities. Breakfast was alright (not a huge variety though). The room wasn't large, but it was comfortable. The bed and pillows were good, the air conditioning was cold enough, and the hot water was hot enough. I stayed for 1 night this time and had a good experience. I would definitely stay here again when I revisit Nara.
