Hotel Route Inn Sakurai Ekimae

We liked everything about this hotel. These were the most quiet, restful 6 nights we had after a month in other parts of Japan. Perfect beds and pillows, quiet air filter, large room for the price, quiet neighbors, great breakfast, next to the station. Other hotels could take lessons from this place! Very helpful, cheerful, accommodating staff. What a bargain in the perfect location to visit many wonderful sites like Hasedera!

The bed comforters are far too warm to use other than maybe the coldest winter nights. We used airline blankets that we brought with us. Otherwise, a perfect hotel!

The hotel was in a great spot to visit the nearby shrines, temples, and old tumuli. It's a prime spot to start a nice day out walking through the landscape. The rooms were comfy and even offered a small table! We also had some good food in the morning and enjoyed the simple onsen spot on the first floor.It was a simple yet enjoyable stay. Thank you!

The breakfast was yummy but offered mainly Japanese food options.Some of my fellow travellers had a hard time fully enjoying breakfast. Some alternative cold options for breakfast, such as cereals or cheese, would have been nice.But other than that it was great!

LocationGood priceClean

We love everything here. Location , front is very helpful ,good food. We so satisfy to stay this hotel.

Location - next to JR / Kintetsu train station and bus station, shorten travelling time when visiting places nearby. Breakfast - good variety of choices.Room - more spacious than expected.

The restaurant did not have a lot of choices for dinner. Out of 5 or 6 items on the menu, 3 were sold out.

Business hotel with all you need and expect. The staffs were nice as always. Separate parking building. Close to a convenient store and train station. Good breakfast.

Breakfast was a lot varieties but the table could be hard to get one at busy time. Paid parking for ¥400 a night but was not too bad.

Route inn always provides a good experience. The room was very nice, the breakfast was great, and a small Oncen was included

We needed somewhere to stay between Nara and Akame 48. This was great, right next to the train station. The room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. We did some washing, at the coin laundry which was handy.

The dinner menu at the restaurant was a bit limited for us, but breakfast was great the next morning!

Delicious breakfast. Good coin laundry set up. Well-designed room. Fantastic location - next to the station. Friendly, efficient staff.

Excellent location for Asuka area and Miwa mountain and shrine, helpful staff, very good breakfast buffet.

All good, room could have benefited from drawers for storing clothes!

The location is very good as it is just a few steps from the Sakurai station. The place is nice. They have a wonderful Ohuro. It makes the stay special. The staff is very good, efficient and courteous. The place is clean. They have good coin laundromats. They have good looking and comfortable Yukatas/Pyjamas for night wear.

The rooms are small and there is no closet. Even a small closet helps when the room is small. The breakfast menu remains more or less the same everyday. It can change a little day wise for guests staying 3-4 days Or more.

Everything! Lovely room, amazing breakfast, great location! Perfect

Comfortable bath, wide sofa, big bed, wide range of free breakfast, and very close to the station

Thay have vending machines only on the ground floor.

The washing machine is automatic with the detergent and dryer, very nice.4 cloth's hanger, more than other hotels.2 pair of room slippers, 1 for inside room, 1 for public bath / restaurant.Biggest TV compared to other hotels.

I stayed with my parents and my kids, 2 yrs old, 4 yrs old and 8 yrs old.Rooms are good prices for us big family.

I just don’t like the way of shampoo buffet in the Dai-Yokujo, thank you though.

Breakfast was of Route-Inn standard, Japanese/Western - always good and filling.Public bath was great.

This hotel served me fine during my trip to Yoshino. I literally just slept here.

There was a massive tour group staying here on the same night I was. Check in was slow as a result; the large crowd of people in the lobby was obnoxious.

Very comfortable business hotel with nice amenities (onsen, restaurant) and kind staff.Convenient location, less than 1 minute walk from the station.

It’s super close to the station

It might’ve been my fault but I didn’t know that it was a smoking room

good breakfast and cleanliness
