Not only was the property clean, easy to locate, walkable and quiet but the lady who runs the hotel is an absolute sweetheart. The breakfast she made us was better than a lot of the food I was eating at restaurants. I would recommend this stay to anyone.

Booked this a a traditional Japanese experience for my family. Our host was lovely and very attentive giving us cold drinks and cold towels because it was so warm outside. There was a choice of Japanese or Western breakfast. Both were excellent, especially the Japanese which had fish, omelette, noodles and tea. Quiet area but restaurants nearby.

It was a great experience staying in a traditional Japanese home and the hostess , Adachi san was lovely and welcoming and she spoke good English which was really helpful. We chose the Japanese breakfast option and it was delicious especially the Agedashi tofu which was one of the best we've had ! The only reason we have not given it 5 stars is because the property was in a residential area and the street it was on was particularly narrow so the taxi was not able to drive right up to the door and so left us on the main intersection and we had to contend with lugging our luggage down the street to look for it. Having said that it wasn't that far nor hard to find and if you chose a smaller taxi, it would be able access the street. Bearing in mind it is a traditional home, and as the accomodation is on the 1st floor, it also meant taking our luggage up some steep stairs too. A small price to pay for a unique accomodation and there was even laundry facilities and a kitchenette . The place was also immaculately clean !

Traditioneel Japans

Dicht bij het station en 10 minuten met de bus. Weg bij alle toeristen maar alles in de buurt. Wandelen naar de deer park is goed te doen. Ontvangst is zeer vriendelijk. Geen luxe maar authentiek Japans. Wij vonden het erg leuk. Het ontbijt voor de volgende dag kun je kiezen uit Europees of Japans. Logisch voor ons om Japans te kiezen. Deze was bijzonder lekker en meer dan voldoende. Al met al een heel fijn verblijf en wil hierbij de host nogmaals bedanken.

This was my favourite stay in Japan. It was a lovely experience to stay in a traditional Ryokan with tatami mats, futons, Shoji and fluffy doonas. Our hosts were friendly, warm and helpful with good English communication. We arrived a few hours before our check in time but were warmly welcomed and shown to our room. Hospitality extended to a delicious fluffy cream filled sponge waiting for us on our return to our room, and a delicious western style breakfast including bacon and eggs and freshly brewed black coffee (our choice, a Japanese breakfast also on offer) at a beautifully laid out table. Our kids loved the croissants and breads with fruity jams, the yogurt and freshly squeezed apple juice. Our hostess also instructed our daughter to make some traditional green tea. I left belongings which they organized to be sent to my next accommodation. These arrived the next day. (A Sunday !!!!). Very fond memories of this place. :)

潤 ほとびる

潤と書いて、ほとびるという名のホテル。 方言で潤うこと、リラックスする事を「ほとびる」という様です。 その名の通り、「ほとびる」想いでした。 家庭的で、三泊四日お世話になりましたが、自分の家の様に 気楽に過ごさせて頂きました。 食事は朝だけお願いしましたが、女将さんの心のこもった手作り料理で、 これこそ料理だ、といったもので、とても感激しました。

通常のホテルでの宿泊も良いが、

風情のある閑静な居住エリアの民家を利用したホテル。場所的には、ループバスで、比較的簡単に、東大寺や奈良駅(JR、近鉄)にアクセスでき、徒歩でも奈良町を散策できる距離。女将さんの朝食がとても美味しかった！

The breakfast was incredible-- and the host was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful traditional room as well. The location was a little difficult to find for non-Japanese speakers. The shared bathroom and lack of of privacy (simply a paper wall between you and your neighbor) is charming if you want that experience but could be a slight set back if you are counting on some privacy. Very nice experience overall.

位置方便，乾淨、安靜

Hotobil hotel, 搭乘奈良市的循環巴士、田中町站下車，步行3分鐘可到。從此旅館出發，搭乘循環巴士到奈良公園、近鐵車站、JR奈良站都很方便。住宿日式風格房間(Japanese style room) 對於我們兩個人入住來說、房間很大。 旅館的女主人很親切，提供的日式早餐味道很美味。因為是塌塌米房間，房間隔音沒那麼好，得時時放輕動作、才不會影響隔壁房間的房客，這一點比較不便

Une hôtesse formidable et un séjour dans un environnement japonais typique. Mieko san est très serviable et est un véritable cordon bleu. L'arrêt de bus à proximité permet de rejoindre facilement les lieux les plus touristiques de Nara.
