Nara Washington Hotel Plaza — Hotel in Nara

The welcome when I arrived was friendly, but the room I was allocated had dirty dishes and smelled of cigarette smoke. To be fair I was quickly allocated another room that was fine. ||||Facilities are basic, and pillows very uncomfortable. Breakfast was included in my package, but if it is not don’t pay the price asked - go elsewhere for cheaper and better. ||||Rooms hot with no separate AC control.
