Apart from the room being a bit on the small side, everything else was excellent. This is a hot spring hotel where guests wear provided robes/yukata and remove their shoes. It's very baby-friendly: they offered a set of baby clothes and toiletries, and high chairs were available in the dining area. Dinner consisted of soy sauce noodles and drinks. Breakfast was generous, featuring a variety of Nara specialties served in many small dishes. The hot springs are located on the first floor, with separate facilities for men and women. Indoors, there are warm and cold pools, and outdoors, there's an open-air bath, along with a sauna. Showers are available after your soak. It's advised that infants and young children avoid the very hot or very cold springs; a simple shower is sufficient for them. Outside the onsen, you can enjoy popsicles and read manga, which kids will particularly enjoy.
The room was a good size and offered excellent value for money. An ice machine was also available. I particularly liked the separated bathroom setup, with the sink located outside the main wet area, making it very convenient for simultaneous use. An interesting detail was the small curtain separating the entryway from the main room. Dining and shopping options are conveniently located nearby, and local prices are fair. The entire stay was self-service, requiring no human assistance, which likely explains the affordable pricing.
The reception is so nice that he helped us pint out the public transport route to Murou Art Forest and reminded us us to watch time and catch the bus out .
Best of all we've got upgrade, definitely a bonus, next by the train station and also helped us with bus from the bust stop straight to KIX! Best stay of the trip !!!
This hotel was an absolutely ideal base for exploring Nara, thanks entirely to its unbeatable location. Situated right on the edge of **Nara Park**, we could literally walk out the door and be amidst the famous, friendly deer within minutes – feeding them was a magical start to each day! The proximity to the park also meant easy walking access to major temples like Todaiji and Kofukuji, saving us so much time and hassle.
Another huge plus was being directly adjacent to a charming traditional **shopping street**. It was wonderful to have easy access to local crafts, delicious snacks (try the mochi!), unique souvenirs, and cozy cafes right on our doorstep, especially in the evenings after temple visits.
The convenience truly made our trip. While the room was clean and comfortable, fulfilling its purpose well as a place to rest, it was the **location, location, location** that earned this hotel our strong recommendation. If you want to be in the heart of Nara's magic, steps away from deer, temples, and local shopping vibes, this spot is perfect. Highly recommended for location-focused travelers!
The traditional Japanese room exceeded my expectations. Compared with hotels in downtown Kyoto, it is cost-effective, close to attractions, and has a good environment. The hotel's hot spring water is great and good for health. Compared with public open-air, indoor, and private reserved baths, I prefer the open-air bath, which is more comfortable and not easy to suffocate. The private reservation is a bit tight with 40 minutes, and the water feels a bit unclean when I go there at night. I don't know if the water can be changed every time. All the products provided are Pola, and some locals go there. I will sweat after a while after taking a bath. The free herbal tea provided on the first floor is also very comfortable. I will go there next time. The five-story pagoda is under repair, which affects the view a bit.
It is located quite far away, it is difficult to combine it with a trip to any attractions. In winter, buses go to the village only a few times a day, and the village itself looks deserted. But the hotel itself is great. Wooden building, but everything is in very good condition. 2 onsen, one with a view of a beautiful small garden. On the 2nd floor there is a chill zone with cool acoustics. Despite the minus outside, it was warm. Well, the full set: traditional rooms with tatami and futons, traditional clothing, cool dinner / breakfast. There are places to walk in the area, so it might be a good idea to stay here for a couple of nights, but probably not in winter.
The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, including the bedding. While the room was well-equipped, some facilities felt a bit dated. However, both the interior and exterior of the building exuded an aristocratic grandeur. The front desk staff were incredibly polite, professional, and went above and beyond to help guests with any issues. The hot spring had specific operating hours, and unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to experience it, which was a slight disappointment.
Very good hotel, reasonable price, and the best location because it's connected to JR Nara station. After leaving from JR Nara station gate, you can directly walk to 2nd floor of this hotel, it's the best location. This hotel has very good arrangements, good facilities. This hotel provides pajamas, comb, cotton bud, toothbrush for picking up at front of lift. This hotel is very clean.. All facilities in the room has everything, i really enjoy staying in this hotel.
The location is superb, just a five-minute walk from JR Nara Station, and it was surprisingly quiet at night. The hotel offers laundry facilities with washers and dryers. We also discovered a fantastic, highly-rated ramen shop nearby. The ramen was spicy and uniquely featured tripe and chopped chives, ingredients rarely seen in ramen in Japan. It's even a spot frequented by celebrities! Plus, when returning in the evening, there's a large Aeon supermarket conveniently located right at the station. Highly recommended!

GGuest UserFirst of all, the service staff is warm and thoughtful, and the attitude is amiable! Tell the precautions, the hotel is clean and hygienic, and the quilt is covered by yourself. The bathroom in the bath is particularly clean. Every guest is very conscious. Try to control yourself and not disturb others. It is really great!

AAmyLeung_jjThe hotel is actually not far from Shin-Omiya Station. If you're carrying a suitcase, just walk along the road by the railway. When you see a drainage ditch with cherry blossom trees, turn left, and you'll find the hotel. If you follow Google Maps along the main road, you'll be on a gravel path the whole way. The hotel is new and even provides toothbrushes and slippers for kids. It would be great if they had a shuttle service on weekdays as well. I hope to return during the autumn leaves season!
GGuest UserExceeded expections on all grounds! I am so happy with the hotel I wanted to spread the word. This hotel has great old world charm and more. I was a little worried about the condition of the hotel (more than 100 years old!) but everything was fine. I stayed at the Main Wing / basic room with park view. The bathroom was basic (business hotel like) but very clean, but the room / bedding and the view at our window was wonderful. Given the low price point, we were very happy with the room. Definitely recommend the Main Wing, and if you can, a room with higher price point.
All staff, from shuttle bus / concierge / front desk / bar, are excellent. We really enjoyed the check in process - you can sit at the lounge admiring Einstein's piano while the front staff comes calling your name. Also try the tea lounge both during the day and night (turns to a bar). I would also like to extend special thanks to Korean speaking front manager Lee Su Jin who helped us in so many ways. She really made our stay comfortable.
One thing to note about Nara city itself is that most venues close at 4pm and have unpredictable operating hours. You can't just walk around hoping to sit down at a cafe or restaurant. Highly recommend making reservations in advance of your trip and I'm sure Nara hotel concierge can help with this.
I really enjoyed Nara Hotel and look really forward to returning.

KKinglumLoved the hotel!! It’s in the center of nara city
It’s 5 mins walk to the nara shopping area, 5mins walk to the nara park there is deer walking around the hotel in the morning
There is free morning city walk tour at 7:00-8:00 with local guide; the bicycle is free
The view of the pond is nice the service is great!! 5stars to everything
The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable
They have drink lounge for free use with unlimited snacks; fruit juice, sake, beer, wine from
15:00pm-2:00am
Really recommend everyone that travels to nara city to stay at this hotel!!
The only downside of this hotel is the breakfast only provides japanese style food ; grill fish and onigiri
The onigiri is huge, grill fish and miso soup is cold
I wish they can make the onigiri smaller so
We can taste more flavors
And hope that they can provide a bakery corner for people who doesn’t like to eat fish
Otherwise we loved the hotel and want to go
Back again!!
Ps: there is not parking space so we need to park at the coin parking costs us 2400¥ /night
GGuest UserAlthough the history of the homestay is a bit old, the supporting infrastructure is not bad. It is a very charming Japanese tatami accommodation. It is good to experience it for one night. You need to buy towels, toothbrushes and other things in the hotel by yourself. They provide them here. It seems to be about 100 yen (I forgot the exact price). In addition, the light in the room I stayed in needs to be pressed for a long time, otherwise the light cannot be turned on. (Room number is 213or203) I don’t know how the quilt is laid. The liner will run out of the sheets, and it is a bit dirty, and the blood stains are not cleaned. It seems that the luggage can only be placed downstairs? Because shoes are not allowed to be worn upstairs, which is not very convenient. The shower and toilet are on the first floor. There is a sink on the second floor
WWee TeeBooked this hotel through Trip which was a godsend. The hotel that I booked through ******* was screwed up big time by ******* because the hotel didn't receive the reservation apparently. ******* was not helpful with the relocation (even thought there were availability at other hotels), claiming the hotel class are different from the one I booked. Anyways this hotel is convenient and clean, only thing that I disliked was the site mentioned double bed BUT only can accommodate 1 person!? Ended we have to pay additional ¥3k for the 3rd person (my youngest daughter) for 2 rooms. 1 room for myself and the other for both daughters because the manager was adamant about the 1 room per person, however after paying the additional ¥3k he was ok with 2 persons in a room. Didn't make sense unless I was explained it is some government regulations to allow only 1 double bed room for 1 person

GGuest UserOld Japanese hotel
1 There is no elevator, so people with bad legs and knees have to carry their luggage up the stairs, which are quite steep.
2. The room is old, there is no usd socket, the heater is not hot, and it is always cold no matter how long it is turned on.
3 It is worth mentioning that the water in the shower room is so small that it looks like the spit of a big snake.
4 The lighting was very dim, focusing on the atmosphere, and I even had a ghostly nightmare that night!
5. There are no slippers🩴, flip-flops, just 3 pairs of half-packed PU shoes, one pair for the toilet, and 2 pairs of black PU shoes! More than 600 Hong Kong dollars, I personally think it is not worth it. It is a type of hotel that I would not consider even if it costs 200 Hong Kong dollars.
Advantages: Focus on nostalgic atmosphere. By the way, there are free hot spring baths, but they are all done after a few baths, and the water cannot be changed😊
