Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is one of the nicest places to stay for the whole of Japan. Spacious, clean and affordable, it stands out with the warmth of people who work here and who provide top notch support and service not only to guests but also to travellers who are in Nara only on a short visit. I have stayed here in the past and would stay again.
Negative: The local authorities have decided to close down the NARA VISITOR CENTER AND INN as of the end of next month. The wonderful people working there have been given notices and are now seeking other employment. It is not clear what the facility will be redeveloped into. I feel, however, this is a real loss for the town. This was one of the most caring and wonderful places where Japan was at the crossroads of cultures.
Summary: The closure of this hotel is a great loss for Nara
