I stayed at Hotel Nikko Nara in July 2025. While the room was clean and check-in smooth, I discovered a major hygiene issue with the in-room Nespresso machine. When I ran water through it, black fungus and brown contaminated water came out. It took over 30 rinse cycles to clean, and even then, debris remained. I spent over an hour handling this on my own. I reported the issue in person to the manager with photo and video evidence, and followed up respectfully by email. The response was minimal, and there was no meaningful follow-up or goodwill gesture. Even after further messages, the hotel failed to take responsibility. I was told the machines were 2-3 years old. If not cleaned for that time period, it is disgraceful.

The hotel seems a bit dated but very well maintained with an old world charm. The room was reasonably sized and i really liked they implemented a lounge for all guests to access from 2-7pm with a wide range of drinks even sake and wine.

The hotel was a bit dated, but the staff were marvelous; impeccable service. The welcome drinks were a pleasant surprise. I was surprised that rooms did not supply hand/body lotion, and a bit disappointed that more attention was not put on sustainable use products. The hotel had perfect access to needed services, despite being more removed from Nara's main core. For the price point, breakfast ought to have been included.

10 seconds walk from JR Nara Station. It's okay even if it rains. Hotel check-in is on the 3rd floor. The bathhouse on the 6th floor is free. Free drinks on the 3rd floor. Breakfast shows the pride of the hotel. Very delicious.
