Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

This was one of the low key place where it is located after crossing Nara train station. Convenient. Staff was welcoming, allow to leave luggage before check in time. The whole hotel has tatami flooring, you need to go to locker leave your shoes in there, throughout the stay. In the room they gave you a bag, socks to wear around hotel and towels to use in public onsen. It was a great experience and dipping in hot pool after long day walk. Most families guests, and they allow older kids accompanied with parent of same gender. But those parent don't know how to control kids should respect the other guests. I have kid myself and try to be respectful. Since after onsen they wan to give cooling down so they have free flow ice cream afternoon to night. And probiotic drink morning. They have a massage chair and if it is peak season proly all these will be in queue. But I went on weekday and end of May so it was quite nice. Not too busy. I didnt pick hotel breakfast as I always wake up late lol. Oh and supper 9pm or 930pm onward they provide ramen and it was real nice after a long day and after onsen, hearty hot ramen soup and green tea to end the night. The experience they provide part of the stay is really fantastic!

I liked the friendliness and professionalism of the staff! I find them very helpful and kind! I like the onsen, massage chair, ice cream and breakfast. I lived in the room facing the train tracks. The sound proof windows do a good job blocking the sound. The entrance is separated by 2 doors, so I didn’t hear much from the hallway. Very private.

Tatami beds and no shoes allowed are the traditional practice in Japan. Polite and gentle personality of all staff. Excellent location - transportation.! The facade of the hotel makes it stand out from the others. BRAVO!

The hotel is very close to the train JR Nara station which make it very easy to commute. Room are clean and cozy Staffs are very polite and very helpful. Onsen are very relaxing Love the complimentary late night soy-sauce based ramen!

I enjoyed my stay here. The Onsen was nice enough, though a bit on the hot side for my taste, and while being close to the train station is good for a quick walk on arrive hearing the train when you trying to relax in the onsen kills the vibes a bit. Had a pretty decent spread for the breakfast with some deserts as well.
