This is a great hotel for making a short trip to Nara. The room was pretty small, but since we mainly used it to just drop off our bags and shower, we didn't need much more than that.

Good value for money
Great hotel for the value I paid in Japan. Very close to Kyoto station but not the main area. However, still walkable. I enjoyed my stay, stuff are very friendly, cafe is handily down stairs and overall good value

Close to sightseeing spots
The hotel is located on a street leading to the major sightseeing spots. The street itself is quiet and pleasing with many shops. The hotel was pleasing and comfortable.

Polite personnel. Room small, stuffy. Pillow extremely hard (supposed to be with two levels of softness, but were both very hard). Matress was very hard, uneven. Unconphortable.
Breakfast choice extremely limited, could not communicate to waitress in English.

Good location but overpriced
The hotel was only ok. We stayed at similarly priced hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto, and both of those were much much nicer than this one. They were both cleaner, and more modern. What the Nara Washington has going for it is its location and its lobby, and that's about it. Also, if you like a colder room at night, you'll have to leave the window open as the HVAC seems to only kick out heat at night (at least in the fall).

Convenient location.
Convenient location for JR / Kentetsu Stations. Accommodations are so basic they do not even include a toothbrush in the event you needed one.

Hotel was difficult to locate. Sits back from other businesses and I walked by it 2-3 times before I actually noticed the entrance. Even walked by after staying there for a night. Needs a sandwich board or some other notice of entrance.

Great location
It locates in the middle of the train station and the Nara Park and a Lawson is right in front of it, which make it a fantastic choice. It's budget!
