Comfortable

It was a comfortable stay in an older building. The desk was nice and large and wifi was decent as I had to do a little work. The location to the train was very convenient.

8/10 Very good

Located close to Jr train station, thus very convenient for my family to go to the airport. Staff is also polite and helpful.
Chun Ming, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend

This is the worst hotel I have stayed in Japan. The room was musty and moist, the AC was not workin properly, I woke up at 1 am to 91 degrees. The bed was like laying on the floor.
Marija, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Budget friendly, comfortable, well located hotel.

Practical accommodation close to the station and public transport. Good value. Nice breakfast with lots of variety on the buffet. Another guest smoked on our floor -the bad smell lingered a while. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.
Fran, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

So-so

Rooms are very small. Double is okay for one, but really too small for two. They only clean the rooms every 3 days, otherwise you leave your garbage and towels outside your door before 10 am. My bathroom had mold between the tiles in the bathroom. Staff was excellent and lovely. Breakfast was okay.
5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Some of the friendly staff do not speak English fluently, but they always tried to help, so it would be helpful if you know a little bit of Japanese. Very high value for the price.
Apollo, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I was having breathing problems at night and once i switch off the Aircon and open the windows everything is okay or i have to keep the Air purifier run all night. I stayed in a hotel near Smile hotel with similar room rent but far better rooms.
Navien, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast buffet was terrible, and the closing time is 9:30am but they stopped putting out food 30 minutes before closing. If you come out late you get white rice and a cup of coffee, also they don’t offer coffee or tea in the room for guests.
Mark, 4-night trip

De kamers schoon maar klein gote koffers hebben een probleem. De receptie was vriendelijk en ontbijt was prima.Jammer geen koffie op de kamers

Muy bien hospedaje.

Excelente. Ideal para estancias cortas y largas si solo buscas un lugar bueno para descansar y a unos pasos de Narita station.

圧倒的安さ。駅からすごく近いのに…
????, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

3日間、ゆっくりできました。朝夕は静か、多分普通は奈良観光を楽しむため、ホテルに残る人は少ないのと、部屋数が多いため、清掃やルームメーキングに時間がかかのだと思います。流石に静かではありませんでしたが、丁寧な仕事振りと濡らしてしまったバスマットの交換などにも笑顔で対応してもらった心配りもとても好感が持てました。施設はバスタブのためたはずのお湯がなくなってしまったり
