Good Value. Close to Nara JR train station

"If you want more space and access to a view / bigger window - I think you would need to book a superior room."

"Nice bath, great location right next to Nara JR station. Watch out for the little extras though. The onsen bath is extra,as is car parking, and these little extras can mount up if you're not careful."
