"The Yamabe allows for a cheap stay at close location of Tenri JR and Kintetsu stations. The proximity of the railway may bother the ones who want a quiet stay, as the train service runs from 5 am to 11 pm. Nonetheless, the hotel staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and have all is needed. For information, toilet and washing facilities are not comprised in the rooms. Although it did not pose me any problem, this may bother some. "

Nara

10/10 Excellent

The room was comfy and actually very spacious. Food near by closes super early so if you're walking keep that in mind. I would recommend an eye mask since the sun rises early and there are only blinds and not curtains! Other than that very charming place!
