Excellent hotel! Right by the Nara Station, and 20 mins walk from Deer Park. The staff are lovely and the room is perfectly comfortable with everything you need. They leave little dessert snacks for you in the fridge which is a nice touch. The onsen was excellent! They have yogurt drinks in the morning and ice creams in the evening to enjoy for free. The free massage chairs were also excellent. Tea, coffee, cafe lattes, and matcha lattes are also available for free throughout the day and night. At night they offer free delicious ramen as a midnight snack! Absolutely great hotel, I would definitely recommend! Loved it here. Great value
Great location with easy access to transportation and plenty of dining options nearby. The hotel is very high-tech; you can check in and out yourself, and there are even Chinese prompts. If you get stuck, staff are readily available to help. In fact, I had a bit of trouble with luggage storage and a staff member helped me out right away! 😍 The room size is quite generous for Japan, and the price is reasonable. Overall, a comfortable and excellent stay, highly recommended!
The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, including the bedding. While the room was well-equipped, some facilities felt a bit dated. However, both the interior and exterior of the building exuded an aristocratic grandeur. The front desk staff were incredibly polite, professional, and went above and beyond to help guests with any issues. The hot spring had specific operating hours, and unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to experience it, which was a slight disappointment.
The room was a bit small but clean, and the service was attentive. It's an older hotel, but it's super convenient, just a three-minute walk from Nara JR Station, making it easy to get around and find places to eat. There's even a supermarket nearby, which is great for picking up essentials.
We opted for a quad room, and the space was quite adequate. It featured four beds, though one was somewhat smaller. The hotel's customer service was good. For a city like Nara, a hotel of this size and caliber feels quite substantial and impressive, as one would expect from a Nikko property. We specifically ordered the breakfast and were overall satisfied. The Japanese breakfast was, as expected, small in portion but exquisitely prepared, perfectly suiting our tastes. Its location right next to the JR station made getting around incredibly convenient. However, we did discover a small biscuit left by a previous guest under the bed, suggesting the cleaning could have been more thorough.
To experience a Japanese tatami room, I chose Asuka-so. The hotel is small, very much like the guesthouses on Mount Putuo, surrounded by similar small but exquisite inns.
Check-in was at 3 PM, and we arrived early. We couldn't get into our room, but the front desk kindly stored our luggage. After feeding the deer, we returned to find that the staff had already taken our luggage to our room. Another pleasant surprise was that while we were wondering how to lay out the futons, we returned from dinner to find the tatami already made up! 😊 We slept very comfortably.
There's also a public bath at the inn, and our room had a Japanese-style bathroom. We were given Japanese yukata upon check-in. Even though we only stayed one night, it was a deep and interesting experience of a Japanese ryokan.
There's a free bar at the hotel front desk offering coffee, tea, and complimentary ice cream, open until 9 PM.
Right across from the inn is a convenience store where you can buy deer crackers. There are deer everywhere nearby, so there's no need to go specifically to Nara Park if you just want to feed them; you can do so right around the inn.
The hotel is actually not far from Shin-Omiya Station. If you're carrying a suitcase, just walk along the road by the railway. When you see a drainage ditch with cherry blossom trees, turn left, and you'll find the hotel. If you follow Google Maps along the main road, you'll be on a gravel path the whole way. The hotel is new and even provides toothbrushes and slippers for kids. It would be great if they had a shuttle service on weekdays as well. I hope to return during the autumn leaves season!
This hotel was an absolutely ideal base for exploring Nara, thanks entirely to its unbeatable location. Situated right on the edge of **Nara Park**, we could literally walk out the door and be amidst the famous, friendly deer within minutes – feeding them was a magical start to each day! The proximity to the park also meant easy walking access to major temples like Todaiji and Kofukuji, saving us so much time and hassle.
Another huge plus was being directly adjacent to a charming traditional **shopping street**. It was wonderful to have easy access to local crafts, delicious snacks (try the mochi!), unique souvenirs, and cozy cafes right on our doorstep, especially in the evenings after temple visits.
The convenience truly made our trip. While the room was clean and comfortable, fulfilling its purpose well as a place to rest, it was the **location, location, location** that earned this hotel our strong recommendation. If you want to be in the heart of Nara's magic, steps away from deer, temples, and local shopping vibes, this spot is perfect. Highly recommended for location-focused travelers!
Facilities: The facilities are brand new, and the hotel occupies the entire building. Its proximity to the train station is also a significant advantage.
Cleanliness: True to Japanese standards, the hotel was spotlessly clean, providing complete peace of mind during my stay.
Environment: Despite being surrounded by busy roads, the hotel's soundproofing is superb, ensuring a quiet night's sleep with virtually no noise.
Service: The Japanese-style service was excellent. There was even a friendly ********* staff member at the front desk, allowing for seamless communication in Chinese.

GGuest UserOverall, the hotel is new and looks very nice. For family traveling, it is not very convenient, especially if you have strollers as there are places without ramps, only stairs.
There is not much amenities you can use in the property without paying extra. With such a high room price, you would expect more.
The location is very close to the Nara park and you can see deers inside the property.
The included breakfast can be better, I don’t think the portion is enough, but they do provide rice if you need more.

GGuest UserExceeded expections on all grounds! I am so happy with the hotel I wanted to spread the word. This hotel has great old world charm and more. I was a little worried about the condition of the hotel (more than 100 years old!) but everything was fine. I stayed at the Main Wing / basic room with park view. The bathroom was basic (business hotel like) but very clean, but the room / bedding and the view at our window was wonderful. Given the low price point, we were very happy with the room. Definitely recommend the Main Wing, and if you can, a room with higher price point.
All staff, from shuttle bus / concierge / front desk / bar, are excellent. We really enjoyed the check in process - you can sit at the lounge admiring Einstein's piano while the front staff comes calling your name. Also try the tea lounge both during the day and night (turns to a bar). I would also like to extend special thanks to Korean speaking front manager Lee Su Jin who helped us in so many ways. She really made our stay comfortable.
One thing to note about Nara city itself is that most venues close at 4pm and have unpredictable operating hours. You can't just walk around hoping to sit down at a cafe or restaurant. Highly recommend making reservations in advance of your trip and I'm sure Nara hotel concierge can help with this.
I really enjoyed Nara Hotel and look really forward to returning.
EElena2028👍 Right next to the JR station, you can get directly to the hotel from the East Exit without even going downstairs.
👍 Although it's very close to the JR station, it's super soundproofed! You really can't hear a thing.
👍 The hotel has its own free hot spring bath. It's not big but quite clean.
👍 The hotel as a whole is also relatively new. The only downside is that the rooms are indeed quite small 👎.
👍 In the evening, there's a bar where you can mix your own drinks for free. Breakfast is 1500 JPY per person, and it's pretty good! You can also sit by the window with a view.
KKinglumLoved the hotel!! It’s in the center of nara city
It’s 5 mins walk to the nara shopping area, 5mins walk to the nara park there is deer walking around the hotel in the morning
There is free morning city walk tour at 7:00-8:00 with local guide; the bicycle is free
The view of the pond is nice the service is great!! 5stars to everything
The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable
They have drink lounge for free use with unlimited snacks; fruit juice, sake, beer, wine from
15:00pm-2:00am
Really recommend everyone that travels to nara city to stay at this hotel!!
The only downside of this hotel is the breakfast only provides japanese style food ; grill fish and onigiri
The onigiri is huge, grill fish and miso soup is cold
I wish they can make the onigiri smaller so
We can taste more flavors
And hope that they can provide a bakery corner for people who doesn’t like to eat fish
Otherwise we loved the hotel and want to go
Back again!!
Ps: there is not parking space so we need to park at the coin parking costs us 2400¥ /night
UuknowpennyThe location is great. You can see it right after you exit JR Nara Station. It's about a 3-minute walk. You can have breakfast in front of the window and see the view of Nara Station.
The sanitary conditions are a little worse than those of good hotels in Japan. I chose a non-smoking room, but there was a very faint smell of cigarettes when I first entered. The big suitcase cannot be fully unfolded. I guess it would be a bit aggrieved for a 1.8-meter-tall person to use the bathroom. But what do you want for this price?
Breakfast is the highlight! Affordable but not low quality.

MmixukiI used to live in Nara but now live far away, so I stayed here for the first time when visiting a friend.
This hotel is located in front of the station, so it was very convenient.
I often go to the drinking district around Yagi Station, and it was great that no matter how much I drink, the hotel was always so close by!
The interior of the facility was also very clean, and it was well-maintained.
The bath and open-air bath on the top floor were also great.
This time I only stayed overnight, so I would like to try breakfast next time.
