Hotel Nikko Nara

Nara|0.12km from JR Nara Station
Overall it was a great experience, so I gave it 5 stars🌟! Let’s talk about the advantages first: 1. The wood used in the interior decoration of the hotel is very natural, minimalist with a touch of luxury, giving people a very comfortable feeling☺️ 2. The outdoor hot spring pool experience is also very good, with beautiful scenery. It would be better if the tank could be larger. Otherwise, 2-3 people living in a room would not be able to experience it in 50 minutes. This is not very user-friendly. You are only given 50 minutes depending on the number of people, and the tank is too small so only one person can go in and soak in. Others have to wait outside, and couples cannot enjoy it at the same time. 🥺🥺🥺 3. In addition, the food is pretty good. Drinks are not included. There are not many amazing flavors. The first cold dish is the best. 4. The night view of Mt. Wakakusa is great, I must like this! The hotel will drive you up the mountain to see it👍 Let’s talk about the points that need to be improved: 1. The hotel service is a bit embarrassing, and the attitude is excellent, but there are always some indescribable feelings of inconsistency, such as kneeling service during check-in, and dining activities in the back. The waiter who checks you in does not even remember your last name and where you are. There are only a few rooms in the hotel (not for such a small-scale boutique B&B with few rooms), and there are obvious traces of the process. He also said that he would help to ask if there is any space in the private hot spring the next morning, but nothing was said. 🐶 2. The pillows on the bed in the room are very uncomfortable and too high. There is no difference between the two pillows as they are high. There is no choice. Be careful of stiff neck. 👴 3. The included dinner does not include drinks and menu upgrades, which need to be ordered separately, but we did not order them. When we checked out, the waitress came to ask us for payment. When we expressed confusion, she asked us if we had ordered dinner. Extra drinks. Please, don’t you keep track of whether guests order or not? Wouldn't it be rude to ask guests to confirm the check-out time themselves? 🙁 4. After observing the guests who stayed that day, basically the majority were Chinese (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), followed by a few European, American and Japanese guests. However, the hotel did not have a Chinese-speaking waiter. In addition to Japanese, it was Japanese-style English that was forced to recite words. I want to say that although you can communicate in English, but if you can't speak it, are you really respecting the Chinese guests by talking like a duck throughout the process? After all, it is extremely difficult to communicate like this. Some Japanese people cannot understand the English they speak. I wonder how the hotel has no Chinese-speaking waiters when there are so many Chinese guests and they even open Weibo for promotion? 🙁

Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara

Nara|1.64km from JR Nara Station
The historical significance of this venue must be highlighted to illustrate its uniqueness in Nara - We signed up for the complimentary tour of the hotel offered to hotel guests on certain mornings of the week and had the pleasure of having Ms. Sato, the director of marketing, introduce the story of Shisui and its past-life as the residence of the governor of Nara between 1922 to 2017, then as Shisui hotel with guest-rooms designed by renown architect Kengo Kuma. The emperor of Japan had stayed on property in post-war to sign the San Francisco treaty. Sato-san's thorough introduction in fluent-english had me realise a stay at this hotel is a unique experience in the way that it is beyond just luxury. The staff had been wonderful and eager to please without pushiness. It was much appreciated, as it gave room for my wife and I to enjoy each other's company at this perfectly peaceful property. The staff had been amazing from the beginning, at check-in, we had Rika-san, a lady with eyes that can smile, to help us check-in while we rest our feet at the lounge with tea, then guide us to our room while briefing us on all its amenities. The rooms were modern with accents of traditional Japanese designs to remind me of the locations' history. Details like the washroom walls that look like zen-gardens and overall wooden decor made my stay at the room one of the most relaxing experiences ever at any hotel. The French-Japanese wine-paired dinner at Suiyou was also our culinary highlight of our two-week vacation in Japan. In summary, after the two night stay, my wife had requested that we should come back to Shisui in the spring, summer and fall to experience all the seasons at this venue.

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae
4.8/5150 Reviews
Close to shopping streets and stations, within walking distance to museums and Todaiji Temple. There are supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores, coffee shops downstairs...it is very convenient for travel and dining. The room size is ideal, the facilities are complete, and the soft and hard furnishings are all online. The only dissatisfaction during my stay: there was no advance notice of the fire drill. I woke up to the alarm in the morning. The first playback was in Japanese, which was completely incomprehensible and very embarrassing. The Indian front desk receptionist upon check-in should remind guests that there will be a fire drill the next morning. Judging from the reactions of other guests, they must have known about this beforehand.
Centurion Hotel Classic Nara Station
4.5/551 Reviews
I think the general experience around this area of Japan is pretty much the same Kind of Old fashioned as here is more of a rural area of japan If you are only staying for a night to visit the deer park and chill then this can be a good choice Oh there is a ****** nearby We heard some kind of haunting stories about the hotel area not sure if that’s worth mentioning
Yuzan Guesthouse
4.6/525 Reviews
Before I joined my friends in Kyoto I spent a couple of days in Nara and stayed in this guesthouse. It's located on the edge of the old town and just a 5-minute walk from Kintetsu Nara station. The guesthouse is housed in a very traditional Japanese dwelling complex, ie you have to keep quiet if possible, as the walls aren't sound-proof. But I like this coz normally most cheap places to stay are full of noisy backpackers, but this isn't. I stayed in the dorm room, which is neat and clean. When I was there the host was doing experiment in pizza making so I tried a few slices of it, which tasted really good. The kitchen has almost everything so if you want to make your own meals it's possible. Highly recommend this place to anyone on the shoestrings yet looking for a decent place to stay.
Ryokan Hakuhou
4/528 Reviews
Stayed during the shosoin exhibition. I found that I was looking for a private room (because the guest house is impossible) because I only use it to sleep almost on a solo trip. It was a room of 4 tatami mats and half, but there was no problem using it alone, and the joint toilet and toilet were cleaned cleanly. The bath is a hot spring, and it is not timing or batting with other guests, and it is rental every day. It was very good to put your legs in a big bath because I was very tired to walk a lot. I only met at check-in, but the staff also felt good with a smile and stayed with peace of mind. Because it is an old building, the door opening and closing and the voice in the corridor are echoing. I wonder if anyone who cares. It was very convenient to make a tourist base within walking distance from the station and Nara Park.
AB Hotel Nara
4.6/576 Reviews
We stayed for 4 nights to walk on Nara Yamato Road. It was a relatively long night, but it was unexpectedly comfortable. The single room was small, the window glass was polished, there was no outside scenery, and there was a feeling of closure, but the flow line of the clothes hanging was good, and the number of hangers was large and convenient. After all, there was a bathhouse for men and women, which was very useful for the tired body of walking. The free Japanese-Western breakfast buffet is simple, but the contents of the side dishes are changed little by little every day, and it was delicious. I was grateful that it was a 500ml water service in the morning. It is very convenient because it is close to JR Nara Station and the station building is equipped with ion supermarkets, shopping malls and restaurants. There is a microwave on the first floor of the hotel where you can eat and drink in your room. It was simple overall, but it was very functional and I was able to stay very comfortable alone.
Hotel Hanakomichi
3.6/59 Reviews
The hotel is just a little bit south from Nara Kintetsu Station, very close. On the first floor of the hotel is the restaurant. If breakfast is included, you will eat there. It is very hearty. The clerk is very enthusiastic and nice. The single room I booked was not too big, but it was clean and comfortable. The bathroom may be a bit small, but for me, it is quite satisfactory. All in all, I spent 5 very enjoyable nights in Nara
