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.
Excellent room, neat and clean. They got everything you need in the self serve counter, facial cleanser, toner, you name it they have it. Big bath tub and super comfy bed. Extraordinarily buffet breakfast and good position, right next to Nara station. One more thing to mention is their services, better than any other place.
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!
Good service and Nice breakfast,I appreciate the front desk staff Mone, the staff (male), and the restaurant staff! They are very helpful. First, We missed the shuttle bus at first day about 3:01pm, he saw the bus just had gone and he ran to catch and stopped it. Then we got up late at the second day, the last order should be 9:30pm.but we forgot the time, they still let us to take the breakfast. Last , Mone always keep her smiling face to help booking the taxi and packing our gift, and also introducing the surrounding scenic spot. Thank you so much!
Check-out was at 10 AM. I was a bit delayed, but after explaining, the front desk kindly waived any extra charges, which I really appreciated. The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Nara JR Station. Getting to Nara Park, however, requires a bit of a longer walk.

Amazing
GGuest UserLocated in Nara Park, within walking distance of Todaiji Temple, the hotel is very artistic. In addition to a luxury hair dryer for super hair care, the room facilities are about four stars. The room is a bit humid. The price of the hotel is based on the location and the brand. Overall, it is OK.

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.

GGuest UserI may be the only off-season to Yoshinoyama. The Yoshinoyama sunrise without cherry blossoms is also very beautiful. But there is no bus under the mountain. In the end, only the phone boss can let them pick it up. I feel that the hotel is family-run, and the service is still Very good, just the off-season, although there is no dinner, but the package is out, but the price is also a lot cheaper, or do not regret this trip, look forward to the opportunity to come back in the cherry blossom season, the hot springs are also very good.
GGuest UserHotel Nikko truly lives up to its reputation as a renowned Japanese hotel chain. Hotel Nikko Nara is ideally located right at the exit of JR Nara Station. With bus terminals (both north and south plazas) conveniently situated just outside, it offers exceptional ease of access to Nara Park and other major attractions. The hotel's service attitude was also outstanding. Immediately upon check-in, a kind staff member from the hotel lounge noticed we had a child with us and thoughtfully prepared two different flavored juices and cookies for us to take to our room. It was such a considerate gesture to help tide us over! After returning to the hotel from our outing, we were pleasantly surprised to find our clothes and toys neatly organized and even arranged adorably. They truly went the extra mile!

AAnonymous UserThe hotel's location is fantastic, right next to the subway station, making it incredibly easy to find upon exit. Just diagonally across from the hotel, there's a bustling shopping street, offering great convenience for dining and shopping. There's a bus stop right outside the hotel with direct service to Nara Park, allowing you to get off and leisurely explore the area. We booked a room including breakfast, which was a buffet. The front desk staff were also very friendly and welcoming. If you arrive early, you can even store your luggage with them and go explore before check-in.
