Nara Park Hotel

"The hotel in general is a reasonably priced hot spring inn, with good customer service and spacious rooms, but a little old. There were many small children, and it was fully booked, even though it was not a weekend. We had the 1,300-year-old gourmet cuisine "Tenpyo no Utage," which claims to be the only one of its kind in Japan. The cuisine was created with the support of archaeologists and culinary experts over five years, based on wooden tablets, pottery, and documents excavated from Heijo Palace. Including the 20 years since then, it has a tradition of 35 years. Each dish was explained to us. It was very delicious, and almost all the dishes were Michelin one-star level. However, some dishes left a disappointing impression. The daigo, a cheese-like dish made by boiling down milk, was overcooked and was dry and hard. It was much browner than the sample. The wild boar meat was too hard and had lost too much moisture. The dried figs had lost too much moisture. The other dishes, as you would expect from imperial court cuisine, were just the right firmness and very delicious. I was put off by the fact that the only drink available was white sake (shiroki: cloudy sake), even though it was apparently all-you-can-drink. The tea (not sure what kind of tea it was) that came towards the end was not tasty either, but it was easier to drink than white sake, so I wish it had been brought out sooner. Imperial court cuisine, whether Okinawan, Korean, Chinese, or French, is indescribably delicious. I would definitely recommend trying ancient Japanese imperial court cuisine. You can enjoy the ancient imperial court cuisine alone, even without staying overnight. The Tenpyo Banquet is the pinnacle of this hotel!!!"

Ando Hotel Nara Wakakusayama -Dlight Life & Hotels-

"We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. Staffs are absolutely helpful and considerate, the star appreciation activity and marshmallow roasting are rare but enjoyable experience as well. Will definitely recommend it to my friends."

Kamenoi Hotel Nara

"We went during cherry blossom season, so the price was a bit steep, but the quiet, natural surroundings made it a great place to relax. The hotel has a hot spring and an open-air bath, which is nice. You can reserve meals in advance and enjoy a course meal for dinner and a buffet-style breakfast. And late at night, the hotel's main entrance seems to be closed. I wasn't given an explanation, so I was a bit confused, but there's a bell next to the door. Just call the staff and ask them to open the door for you."

Hotel Asyl Nara

"The room was absolutely great. In Japanese style, futons, tatami, exactly the one we wanted to try. Staff friendly, helpfull and kind. The only thing we dislike was the smell of fried oil in the hotel corridors. Luckily it did not smell in the room."

The Deer Park Inn

"This is a retro-style hotel that suits my taste. Very Kansai. The window view is beautiful, the room is nice. You can see deer from the balcony. Behind the hotel is a green hill, very chill to take pictures. The downside is that it is quite far from the train station, far from the bus station. But the view is nice and chill. The room has no mirror so you can't put on makeup or curl your hair."

Hotel Asyl Nara Annex

"An older hotel but very well maintained and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room size was decent. Free parking is definitely a bonus. Breakfast was included and the food was amazing. The staff were lovely and welcoming and they even provide free beverages from 3pm onwards which is a nice touch. Overall the price is reasonable for what you get. Location is not far if you are driving to the tourist attraction."

Ryokan Asukasou at the Entrancne of Nara Park

"Hotel was about 2 mins walk from the entrance of Nara park n the shopping district. Very good location. You could either walk 1.3km to the hotel from the JR station, or take a taxi which would cost around 1200yen. About 10 mins walk from the metro station. I stayed for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner inclusive. The Ryokan did take note n served us a different menu each day. There was also a small indoor n outdoor onsen in the Ryokan. The food was superb."

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

"I went to Japan for 6 days and this was the best hotel I had stayed. It was clean, comfy and the bathtub was big too. It was just a stone throw to the attractions. The price for a night was very very cheap."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Spring

"Very good, it’s very nice experience for this trip, very enjoyable!"

Super Hotel Jr Nara Ekimae Sanjo Dori

"As always, the hotel staff provided excellent service: they provided a map and explained everything. The hotel is very conveniently located, with easy access to the train station, shopping streets, and the deer park. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and there were unlimited drinks, which unfortunately were closed in the evening. The room was decent, but the toilet and shower were a minor drawback."
