Hotels in de buurt van Kashiba SA Westbound in Kashiba

A hotel that feels like a business ＋ hot spring hotel, just next to JR Nara Station. The room is clean and quite large, ３ F, but the view from the window was completely elevated by the railway, and I was worried about the sound of the train. The bathroom in the room has only a shower, but there is a large communal bath in a natural hot spring, so I was able to relax. There was no problem with the hot springs and breakfast, and it was as expected. Free bottled water 1 book in the refrigerator, WiFi is also free to connect.

It has a good location, a long history, and retro architecture. Many celebrities once lived there. The restaurant inside is also a famous restaurant, and you need to book in advance to enjoy it. Excellent service from the service staff. A female lobby staff member named ”Li” in Japanese provided very good service. Even though we didn't understand the language, she took the trouble to communicate with me. She also helped us call a car and sent us to the car. The Japanese service is absolutely top notch. It is also true that the room facilities are outdated. See picture.

- hotel is new and automated check in / check out provided - near to the kintetsu nara station (3min walking) - free amenities provided in the hotel lobby - shower is wonderful

JW Marriott's site selection in Nara was such a failure that I was shocked. It is far away from all the attractions and stations in Nara. The rooms have no views, not even green plants. It is just a roadside business hotel on the outskirts of the city without any Nara characteristics. Two-thirds of the rooms are in The road side is very noisy. I moved to the inner side to make it quieter. It takes ten minutes to get to Nara Kintetsu Station. The bus takes 30 minutes. It is not convenient to travel. I rely on rentals. There is no one at the door of the hotel. I have to wait for more than ten minutes to call. The service is warm but there will be mistakes in getting breakfast. The concierge took things and made arrangements for the restaurant. The concierge also looked like he was unfamiliar with the business and said the line was busy. He made an announcement and did not reply. The room was a five-star level and the breakfast was OK. There was no hot spring. In addition to the dining bar, there was only one Western restaurant at the door. There was no set meal price. There seem to be a lot of foreign employees in Taihang. Generally speaking, I don’t recommend staying at Fufu. It’s just in the park. It costs more than 3,000 yuan per person, including breakfast and dinner. There are also hot springs where you can soak in the Marriott. It costs more than 2,000 yuan. The location is boring. The only bright spot is that there is a Tsutaya store next to it.

I was looking for a spacious place to relax in my room during my stay, so I decided to stay here. There is a hot spring, but I made a reservation without knowing that I would be able to use it until 10 p.m., and the nearby restaurants close early at night, so I prioritized dinner and checked in, so I couldn't get up early in the morning. In the end, it was not possible to use it. The room I stayed in was really spacious and had several large sofas so I was able to spend a relaxing time. There was no problem with the room itself, but there was an inexplicable smell in the hallway on the accommodation floor, probably due to disinfection. I think the building is valuable because it feels like a good old big hotel from the Showa era. I thought it was a good time as the shop in front of the front desk was stocked with a variety of items. There was a convenience store within walking distance, so I didn't feel inconvenienced.

It was a little hidden and difficult to understand, but it was good that the equipment was in place! The front desk smelled a little cigarette, but I don't think some people care about it, so I think it's okay! It was clean and comfortable!

Overall it was a great experience, so I gave it 5 stars🌟! Let’s talk about the advantages first: 1. The wood used in the interior decoration of the hotel is very natural, minimalist with a touch of luxury, giving people a very comfortable feeling☺️ 2. The outdoor hot spring pool experience is also very good, with beautiful scenery. It would be better if the tank could be larger. Otherwise, 2-3 people living in a room would not be able to experience it in 50 minutes. This is not very user-friendly. You are only given 50 minutes depending on the number of people, and the tank is too small so only one person can go in and soak in. Others have to wait outside, and couples cannot enjoy it at the same time. 🥺🥺🥺 3. In addition, the food is pretty good. Drinks are not included. There are not many amazing flavors. The first cold dish is the best. 4. The night view of Mt. Wakakusa is great, I must like this! The hotel will drive you up the mountain to see it👍 Let’s talk about the points that need to be improved: 1. The hotel service is a bit embarrassing, and the attitude is excellent, but there are always some indescribable feelings of inconsistency, such as kneeling service during check-in, and dining activities in the back. The waiter who checks you in does not even remember your last name and where you are. There are only a few rooms in the hotel (not for such a small-scale boutique B&B with few rooms), and there are obvious traces of the process. He also said that he would help to ask if there is any space in the private hot spring the next morning, but nothing was said. 🐶 2. The pillows on the bed in the room are very uncomfortable and too high. There is no difference between the two pillows as they are high. There is no choice. Be careful of stiff neck. 👴 3. The included dinner does not include drinks and menu upgrades, which need to be ordered separately, but we did not order them. When we checked out, the waitress came to ask us for payment. When we expressed confusion, she asked us if we had ordered dinner. Extra drinks. Please, don’t you keep track of whether guests order or not? Wouldn't it be rude to ask guests to confirm the check-out time themselves? 🙁 4. After observing the guests who stayed that day, basically the majority were Chinese (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), followed by a few European, American and Japanese guests. However, the hotel did not have a Chinese-speaking waiter. In addition to Japanese, it was Japanese-style English that was forced to recite words. I want to say that although you can communicate in English, but if you can't speak it, are you really respecting the Chinese guests by talking like a duck throughout the process? After all, it is extremely difficult to communicate like this. Some Japanese people cannot understand the English they speak. I wonder how the hotel has no Chinese-speaking waiters when there are so many Chinese guests and they even open Weibo for promotion? 🙁

The room is large and clean. Good service and rich amenities. There is also a large bath in hot springs. A minute walk from the station. It is also convenient for sightseeing in Asuka Village. About 10 minutes walk to Kasahara Archaeological Institute. Kasahara Jingu shrine is also within walking distance. There is a refrigerator in the room. There is a washlet in the toilet. The room clothes type pajamas were also comfortable. It is a large hotel, but it was well-defined and comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel is luxurious, but there are taverns and convenience stores around, so if you want to be cheap, you can go out. It was a hotel I wanted to use again.

Close to shopping streets and stations, within walking distance to museums and Todaiji Temple. There are supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores, coffee shops downstairs...it is very convenient for travel and dining. The room size is ideal, the facilities are complete, and the soft and hard furnishings are all online. The only dissatisfaction during my stay: there was no advance notice of the fire drill. I woke up to the alarm in the morning. The first playback was in Japanese, which was completely incomprehensible and very embarrassing. The Indian front desk receptionist upon check-in should remind guests that there will be a fire drill the next morning. Judging from the reactions of other guests, they must have known about this beforehand.

Kwangji belongs to Nara. The location is between Osaka and Nara. It only takes 20 to 30 minutes to train on both sides. The hotel is very close to the train station. There are small supermarkets and restaurants around, which is very convenient. The room is very new, the facilities are good, and there is free breakfast. The front desk did not have English-speaking staff when storing luggage, and a woman could speak English when checking in in the afternoon and checking out the next day. Checkin is four o'clock, slightly later than three o'clock in the average Japanese hotel. In addition, it is mid-March, the bathroom is a bit cold, and you need to open a warm air indoors.
