Takao hotels from HK$172

"Beautiful views and location but an older hotel that shows some signs of wear. The bed was very comfortable even being a 6'3 American and the extra space and seating felt more like a hotel at home rather than the tiny hotel rooms in Tokyo. You cannot beat the view, you tower above any other hotel and the windows are gigantic and clean. The views of the city are available in the restaurant lobbies on the top floors and are more limited but still stunning. The only issue was the room being dated. The plumbing for the toilet dripped a little when flushed and the hot water tap on the sink let out a loud whistle when turned on. The walls had small scuffs from furniture being moved but overall it is an exceptional hotel on a beautiful lake."

"Room very clean, staff very helpful"

"Great hotel, I will be staying here again when I have a chance to come to this area."

"Most comfortable huge bed and room! Bath and gym area are very well designed and offer many amenities. Nice areas to read stocked with very interesting books. Hotel is not close to the main tourist area, it is next to the convention center. This may be not perfect for tourists that want to be closer to the popular areas. To me the bed and quiet were better than the crowds..."

"Super nice staff, great location"

"Most of the staff were not really friendly. The room was nice. Breakfast was good."

"Beautiful hotel, room fairly small but location was great, awesome staff"

"It is a typical Japanese business hotel-like one in touristic area. The room is very small with tiny (system) bath (unlike other Daiwa-Roynet that I had stayed before in Sendai, and Koriyama, etc.) The location is good but can be slightly tricky for first comer to find it because it is behind another high-rise hotel in front of West exit of Nara JR station so that you cannot see the hotel sign upon exiting the Nara JR station. But still within easy walking distance. One good thing related to this it's relatively quiet, almost no train noise nor any street noise is audible in the room (12th floor). The property appears to be slightly old but has been under good maintenance and in good condition. The breakfast is good, not excellent though: it has everything that you can expect from typical small Japanese hotel; relatively weak on breads and salads. The venue for breakfast is small so that you may want to check the crowd status shown on your TV monitor in the room. One big catch that I found is that you cannot open the window so that we missed the fresh morning air. Overall it was a good stay in Nara area."

"It was a good stay unfortunately my hotel room was very loud and I was woken up at 5:30am from some work being done in an alley outside my window."
