This is my second stay and honestly it’s my #1 recommendation for Japan. The Staff are wonderful. He was pretty fluent in English so no need to worry about a language barrier. The rooms are very clean. The lobby is a nice place to relax and even has a massage chair which is great after a hot bath. The location is perfect for exploring the area. It’s about a 6 minute walk from the train station.

The traditional room was remarkable. I love the floor sleeping. The place has a nice public onsen. If you are into manga the owner has a huge collection to check out. Also there is a massage chair in the lobby that I recommend for after your bath. This place is tucked back off of the main road so it is quiet. I highly recommend this for a night or multi night stay if available.

The ryokan is very convenient, it is close to Nara park and railway station. Staff is friendly and helpful, the hot tub is a huge plus although you may need to learn the manner of using it beforehand and it's a bit small, the capacity is 2 persons.

A basic but comfortable ryokan in a great location - right in the heart of Nara. Reasonable price. Front lobby reception was friendly and efficient with a nice sitting and reading area. No restaurant but lots of places nearby. We had a spacious and spotless 10 tatami room with en suite bath and toilet so never did use the communal bath. Room had no chairs - just cushions and the futon so eating in room was a bit uncomfortable. Overall I was pleased with our stay and would probably stay there again.

Nice family friendly place to stay in Nara

This was a great little place to stay. It is quiet and in a nice area with many close by shops and restaurants. It is also close to Nara Park and the railroad stations.
We chose the traditional tatami mat family room with the private bath. It was a nice big room with plenty of space for 5 people (4 adults and 1 child) and all our luggage.
There are two \"bath houses\" for both men and women downstairs in the main lobby area. My husband loved going down and sitting in the \"hot tub\" after walking all day. We also loved the massage chair in the main lobby too after sleeping on the tatami mats.
Overall a nice, quiet, clean, family friendly place to stay.

Altogether disappointing.

I wish I could rate this higher, because the owners were quite nice. But this was not a ryokan. It was a short-term boarding house. We stayed in a ten tatami mat room, which had a low table, and a \"cubicle\" bathroom - a plastic encased tiny room, with a toilet and a bathtub. Similarly, it advertised an \"onset\" - it was a very small, musty communal bath. The place was dingy - clean enough. But for $182, ridiculous. For $60, it would have been quite fine. But not priced as a luxury inn.

They made a reservation for us at a restaurent in Kobe where we were going the next day and told us all about the lantern festival that was happening. The ryokan is also very well situated between the train station and the Nara-koen park. I found its public paths very relaxing and very well decorated.

It was fairly cheap. You get what you pay for.
I was charged extra at the desk because my child was 14 years old .... according to the staff, a \"child\" is 12 years old ~ not according to the reservation site where I made the reservations. The real bummer is that I was charged an extra 2,000 yen when I checked in because of this minor discrepancy. I suspect that the clerk must have felt guilty in the end, however, because he upgraded our room and gave us a room with a private bath. My \"child\" appreciated that.

Pleasant overnight stay, great location

We had a great overnight stay in Nara at the Ryokan Hakuhou. Our room was traditional but with a western toilet. The floor was tatami covered. There was a low table and floor chairs, yukatas and slippers. It was very neat, clean, spacious and quiet. Our only complaint was that the futons were very thin indeed and, being older, we were not yet accustomed to sleeping on the floor. We did not sleep comfortably. Otherwise, the ryokan was great. Inbetween the train station and Nara Park, it was a quick and easy walk to both. Our host at the ryokan was also pleasant and helpful.

Nice stay at Ryokan Hakuhou

It was a nice experience to stay in a ryokan. There were 4 of us, so we had a room for 5 with private bath. The staff was courteous and we had no language problem. The hotel and room were clean. I had our luggage shipped from Kyoto and they had already been put into our room when we checked in. I was worried about how to get our luggage down from our 3rd floor room without an elevator, but it turned out there was a luggage elevator across from our room.
Ryokan Hakuhou was about 5-6 minutes away from the Kintetsu-Nara railway station. Next to the railway station and on the hotel street there were many shops and restaurants. We walked to Nara Park, visited the sites, came back, shopped and ate.The next morning, we rolled our luggage to the bus stop across from the railway station for a ride to the Kansai airport. It was quite easy. We would stay at Ryokan Hakuhou again if we ever go back to Nara.

Ryokan Hakuhou is in a reasonably priced option in a convenient location for exploring the top tourist locations in Nara. We stayed on the \"modern\" floor which are nice tatami rooms with an attached room with toilet and basin. The ryokan has the traditional men's and women's baths on the first floor.

Great location not far from Nara station (about 5 mins walk).

Not for smoke aversive individuals

Stayed:
- traditional renewed non-smoking room with private bathroom (end Dec 2014).

Pros:
-very near Kintetsu Nara station and just across from Nara Tourist information office. Easy to locate if you travel into Kintetsunara.
-nice clean private bathroom
-massage chair in TV lounge
-public bath opened till 12am
-owner was personal, storage bag
-good internet connection

Cons:
-smoking area is at the lobby (everyone needs to get pass the open smoking area to reach the reception and the room... and since it is winter, all the doors and windows are closed- so if someone is smoking, the whole area can be suffocating).
-smoke will travel to the lobby and small front pouch (separated by 2 sliding doors) of your room. Smoke, nevertheless, was contained outside the main room- once inside the main room, the smell of cigarette was gone); smoke free provided you never step out of your room!
-no ionizer and humidifier in room
-the bedding smells a little (either from the unwashed futon or blanket)- leaves me with a longer of unpleasant smell.

nice location

Like the location. Very near the city center and kintetsu line. If you are taking the JR line, you may need to walk a little bit longer.

Partially hidden among all the advertising banners. Open your eyes to see it.

Shared public bath area. Has a little pantry where you can microwave and stuff. Free use of washing machine.

Great newly renovated place to stay.

Don't be put off when you enter and find a lobby that needs some love and updating. The room was modern and super clean. The ofuro was also updated. They spoke a bit of English and helped us pick a fabulous place to eat. It was a wonderful stay. Close to station, Nara park and eating. Everything right at your fingers tips even with 3 children (2 four year olds) we were able to walk every where no problem. Well worth the money.

Old rooms are not good, very dusty and dirty feeling, new updated rooms were good, but small. Location was great right next to all shopping and eating. In the middle between the station and the sightseeing spots. WLAN was great. Could leave our luggage the next day. All in all overpriced for what you get.
