This is a great hotel for making a short trip to Nara. The room was pretty small, but since we mainly used it to just drop off our bags and shower, we didn't need much more than that.

Polite personnel. Room small, stuffy. Pillow extremely hard (supposed to be with two levels of softness, but were both very hard). Matress was very hard, uneven. Unconphortable. Breakfast choice extremely limited, could not communicate to waitress in English.

Good location but overpriced
The hotel was only ok. We stayed at similarly priced hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto, and both of those were much much nicer than this one. They were both cleaner, and more modern. What the Nara Washington has going for it is its location and its lobby, and that's about it. Also, if you like a colder room at night, you'll have to leave the window open as the HVAC seems to only kick out heat at night (at least in the fall).

Hotel was difficult to locate. Sits back from other businesses and I walked by it 2-3 times before I actually noticed the entrance. Even walked by after staying there for a night. Needs a sandwich board or some other notice of entrance.

Value: You get what you pay for
Small room for western visitors. Only room for any activity was on the bed. Only three Coat hangers. Room was very warm, we had to open a window to get the temperature down. It's reasonable value but you get what you pay for.
