Hotels Near Gakuemmae Station in Nara

Although it is about a 30-minute walk from the nearest station, it is cheap, the rooms are clean and spacious, you can order a good value breakfast set at any time, and there are plenty of amenities. I was able to stay comfortably. If you're lucky, there's even karaoke in the room. The only disappointment was that I ordered a steak set that looked delicious in the menu picture, but it wasn't that great (probably extruded meat).

The service is in place and the open-air hot springs are also great. The disadvantage is that the sound insulation of the room is not good. Fortunately, the quality of the guests staying in is very high and basically does not affect it. The only thing that cannot accept is that there is no bathroom in the room. In addition to this, other full marks!

私と妻、8歳娘の３人で一泊二日で滞在しました。扉を開けてホテル内に入ったらいきなり絵本が壁にズラリ、和室にダイニングキッチン、お風呂やトイレにまで絵本が並んでいて飽きることがありませんでした。日本語の絵本だけでなく、イタリア語やスペイン語、チェコ語の絵本もあって、原語版と翻訳版とを比べてみるのも楽しいものです。Googleレンズアプリを使えば、外国語の絵本もどんな事が書いてあるのかレベルには理解できますので、スマホにインストールしておく事を強くオススメします。 料理に必要な設備と食器は一通りそろっているのでその気と食材があれば料理を作ることもできます。紅茶・コーヒー・地ビール・ワインと飲み物や冷凍ピザもQR決済で買えます。徒歩圏内にローソンがあるので買い出しに行くのもあり。また、幼子を連れて行く前提になっているので、洗面台やトイレ、お風呂などは子供が使いやすい作りになっており、逆にコンセントは高い位置に付け替えてありました。 適度なふかふかさの布団も気持ちよく、快眠できましたが、朝ゆっくり寝たい人はアイマスクを持参した方が良いかも。 ともあれ、全員気に入ったのでまた利用したいです。

Far exceeded expectations There is a large bath, hot springs, massage chairs (free), and a strong overall design A new hotel that is comfortable to stay in Very close to the bus station It is said that there is a free shuttle bus between Nara Station and the hotel on weekends

Fantastic Hotel with a perfectly convenient location. The only thing is the bad attitude of a female manager at the front desk. We asked for more bottled water, but she refused. Refusing is OK, but she thought we didn't understand Japanese and said some bad words to us. Unfortunately, we are just not fluent in Japanese, but we can totally understand what she was saying. A pathetic woman manager ruined other staff's good service and hard work.

Very nice hotel，but service is not OK. Maybe I should say”bad”. We booked 1 room with 3 beds for 3 people, due to the booking system could input only 2 names, we have 1 person’s name missing. The 2 ladies in the front desk of the hotel told that we need to pay extra JPN 3900 for the additional bed. Or, we could only have 2 beds for 3 people. I said no, because it’s included in the room charge, we paid already. The ladies have no will to help us to solve the problem, but very interested in charging more. Try to imagine, will 2 people book 3 beds room for 2 beds? why don’t people book a same type standard room to save some money? Please contact with your agent to fix your booking system. Finally a gentleman of the hotel helped to negotiate,and we could live here. The room is really nice and clean. But the service is the worst I’ve ever seen in Japan.

Location：2 minutes walking distance from the station to the hotel-perfect！The front entrance has a beautifully designed layout. Cleanness: The hotel maintains an exceptional level of cleanliness, and a comfortable and hygienic environment. Service: The front desk's English is excellent, much better than most I've encountered in Tokyo and Osaka. The instructions are clear and well-explained. Facilities: Everything from the room to the dining options was exceptional, making my stay very enjoyable. The Japanese-style room made my stay cozy and relaxing. Overall: I would give 10 out 10 and recommend it to every one.

A beautiful and modern hostel. Unfortunately I never met any staff member and also no one cleaned or arranged the beds, while I was there. All the lights remained on, even in the dorm and there’s no possibility to turn them off. The dorm itself was unfortunately also quite cold, while all the other spaces were warm and cozy. Otherwise everything was okay. There was a nice common space. But in general it doesn’t feel very safe and organized, as anyone can just enter the hostel and the dorm without any key or password.

We travel as family of 1 adult and 3 teens. Staying in a Japanese room for 3+1 for 5 nights. Room: With all futons out, not much room to move around. So we kept our 5 carry on luggage in the hallway. Not a big issue. Kitchen: good for simple cooking and heat up. Location: 15 minutes walk from JR station, 9 minutes walk from Kintetsu station, no need for a taxi. Also can walk to museum Todaiji and Kasuga Tsushima. Deers downstairs in the morning. Our room has great view of the pond and pagoda. Facilities: washing basin is on the balcony instead of with toilet and shower due to its original function as local government hostel. Public bath although not spring water, still good enough to enjoy traditional Japanese. Convenience store in basement open till 7:30pm. Small clothes drying rack is convenient for overnight underwear or socks. Reception: great service with always someone speaks languages other than Japanese. Also it has free daily activities such as making origami deers. Great place to have a relaxed tour in Nara. The downside of the place is the wifi signal a bit weak inside the room, while perfect near the hallway and inside the building. Also the coin laundry and dryers really need a good clean or replace the filter more regularly. All in all, a great experience staying in the Nara Visitor Inn! Thanks!
