"I must really thank all the past reviewers for their past comments. This hotel indeed hold up to its rating as the best nara hotel in 2015. The hotel is connected to the JR nara station to the hotel lift that brings you to the check-in counter. Very convenient for travelling couples or family with big luggages. The staffs can speak English and are very eager to help. Not only did they offer complementary good japanese breakfast with 5 types of bread freshly baked every morning, they are free access to onsen (indoor and outdoor) to recupurate your tired body. Little things we appreaciate is that the lift to the rooms are nicely scented too. How not to remember this hotel? The supermart is also just few steps away. For the location, services and price, I will definately stay with Super Lohas hotel in my next Nara trip. 👍👍👍👍👍👍"
