📍 4-21 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 Omiyacho 1-1-6, Nara City

"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!"

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae
9.4 (703 reviews)

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae ★★★★

📍 30-1 Konishicho, Nara City

"This was my second time visiting Nara, and this time I traveled completely independently. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient. Coming from Kyoto on the Kintetsu Nara Line, you just walk straight down a bustling shopping and food street from the subway station, and the hotel is right at the end. It has a resort-style feel. There's no hot water dispenser in the room, so if you want hot water, you have to go downstairs, which is a bit inconvenient. I ended up bringing my own water every day. Bus route number 2 stops right outside and is a loop line, making it easy to get to all the attractions whenever you want."

Hotel Nikko Nara
9.0 (737 reviews)

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★

📍 8-1 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"Very close to NARA JR, nice and clean with good amenities but my automatic washer in toilet is broken. Hotel staff was friendly but not fluent in English. Good for business and travel in Nara. p.s. my friend who reserve room+breakfast said the morning buffet is good in both Japanese and Western style, might try on next visit"

LOCO minami-ichi
9.2 (46 reviews)

LOCO minami-ichi ★★★

📍 10-4 Minamiichicho, Nara City

"The room was clean, just as described. If you have a large suitcase, keeping it open might be a bit inconvenient, but for a 2-3 night stay, there's enough space to leave a smaller suitcase open and still move around comfortably. For this price, having a private toilet and shower in the room, right next to a shopping street, is simply fantastic. Check-in was easy despite it being unstaffed. There's an office a few minutes' walk away where you can store your luggage if needed. I would definitely like to stay here again."

AB Hotel Nara
9.2 (237 reviews)

AB Hotel Nara ★★★

📍 4-30 Sanjōhonmachi, Nara City

"Very close to the train station. They had a Japanese style Onsen for men and ladies. Also, the room included a decent breakfast. It was a comfortable stay."

Comfort Hotel Nara
9.1 (400 reviews)

Comfort Hotel Nara ★★★

📍 321-3 Sanjocho, Nara City

"Really nice warm hotel. Very quiet at a great location. Just two block from the railway station, one block from bus stop. 6 blocks from shopping districts. 2 adjacent restaurants. Hotel staff are really attentive, friendly and respectful. They can speak english well. Even the rear back and security stairs ok"

Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae Hotels in Nara City

Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

"Unfortunately, I didn't realize I'd booked a smoking room, and there was a faint smell of smoke. However, the cleanliness was absolutely superb, and the room itself was spotless. The location is fantastic: it's directly opposite Kintetsu Nara Station, and Nara Park is just a 10-minute walk away. On the first floor, there are convenient vending machines and coin-operated washer/dryers. The breakfast was also quite delicious."

Kasuga Hotel Hotels in Nara City

Kasuga Hotel

"The location of Kasuga Hotel is fantastic, right next to Nara Park, and close to Nara Station and a main shopping street. Major attractions like Todaiji Temple are just a 10-minute walk away, which is incredibly convenient! The rooms are spacious, the facilities are excellent, and the service is great! Highly recommend!"

Tenpyo Ryokan Hotels in Nara City

Tenpyo Ryokan

"It's very well located; as soon as you step outside the hotel, you'll find an amazing ramen restaurant. If you want the experience of sleeping on a futon and bathing in public hot springs, this is the place for you. There are also private baths in your room if you don't want to use the public baths."

"This is the most stupid hotel I have ever been to. I had my breakfast here and that’s food to make sure. And for lunch I decided to eat some sandwiches at the canteen. That’s also food with no smell. When I was just about to order some drinks, a staff came to me and said ‘food is not allowed here.’ Then where else can I eat this??? And he said downstairs in b1. I was totally shocked by his logic which was zero logic. Breakfast = food and outer food = food as well, like it’s just a sandwich with no smell. Is it not a hotel that guests are even not allowed to eat their food in the sun with fresh air?? Any food not provided by them are not allowed and there was no other space to sit in the lobby. This is as funny as ****. They are even more stupid than robots that they make up rules with no logic and they will follow them without thinking till die. 很糟糕的一次经历:首先位置比较偏,房间窗帘不够隔亮;其次大堂未消费者不允许使用,即使点了他们的咖啡也不能吃外带的汉堡,不可思议;最后早餐分日式和西式,我要求日式,她们说已经售完,但是后面的几位美国客人点日式就有了,赤裸裸的美国舔狗?总之是要被拉黑的一家酒店"

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"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."

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★
"Everything was excellent, I loved it! 💕 There was a lovely lady at the front desk who was a compatriot. She was so patient, polite, and friendly, and helped me find a quiet room. The single room was very cozy. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. My favorite was that vegetable and tofu soup – so tasty and comforting."

LOCO minami-ichi ★★★
"We checked into this hotel in Nara to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of this amazing city. We chose this hotel because of its convenient self check-in and check-out system – it's all very simple and fast. We recommend confirming your passport details in advance. The room looked small in the photos, but in reality, it's very decent and well-zoned. It's a great option for one night, especially if you want to wake up with the sunrise and see the deer still asleep, observing them before the tourists arrive. There's also an opportunity to buy crackers – during cherry blossom season, we noticed that many shops had already sold out by midday, so we recommend waking up early. The only drawback of this type of accommodation is the very thin walls. There are signs warning guests not to make noise after a certain time. We did hear other guests, but everyone was considerate, and we fell asleep very quickly, so nothing bothered us. We really enjoyed the experience and were very satisfied!"
