The ryokan is very convenient, it is close to Nara park and railway station. Staff is friendly and helpful, the hot tub is a huge plus although you may need to learn the manner of using it beforehand and it's a bit small, the capacity is 2 persons.
However there is no passenger lift available, if you hate stairs you may need to reconsider.

we like everything but the a/c. a/c is not quite cool as u expect from a regular hotel where u can adjust the temperature to your liking. i inform the front desk and he checked it out. unfortunately, 16 C is the coolest it can be. coming here on a summer getaway is not fun to have a “fan cold” room where outside is a 100 F. the front desk dude speqks english whick is q plus.

A relaxed place without the usual formalities. A great hall, themed around manga and samurais, lots of board games and many classic mangas to read (Dragonball, Death note etc., complete series).

Overpriced and impersonal
This ryokan has the basics you would need, but the price is high and The owners appear to be a family so they must be busy, but there is no warmth about the service.

Tatami room guest house in Nara
Great location in Nara. Tatami room with futons and private toilet. Shower and sento (soaking bath) downstairs. The guest house is halfway between a ryokan andlow cost hotel. Old and a little shabby, but very inexpensive for area.Easy walk to train stations and todaiji temple.

Centrally located hotel
Ryokan Hakuhou is in a great location. It’s close the station, local restaurants and shopping. The hotel is clean, and the rooms are comfortable. The staff is very helpful. The WiFi is ok, it was better in the lobby than on the 3rd floor. Overall a good hotel, I would stay again.

Basic but comfortable ryokan in a great location
A basic but comfortable ryokan in a great location - right in the heart of Nara. Reasonable price. Front lobby reception was friendly and efficient with a nice sitting and reading area. No restaurant but lots of places nearby. We had a spacious and spotless 10 tatami room with en suite bath and toilet so never did use the communal bath. Room had no chairs - just cushions and the futon so eating in room was a bit uncomfortable. Overall I was pleased with our stay and would probably stay there again.

Do try it!
Traditional ryokan. We had our own toilet, but you use a shared shower/onsen. Great little sitting area. And a magical massage chair!

We opted for 2 twin beds and it was amazing. We had a separate balcony and separate dining area. They gave us welcome gifts and hot tea. The beds were soft which was a pleasant change from the business hotels. It had a private women bath separate from the male bath.
