The beautiful Nara Hotel in beautiful Nara
The Nara Hotel far exceeded our expectations. The room was comfortable and spacious. The service was friendly and impeccable. The hotel itself is so interesting and beautiful. The setting couldn't be better. Nestled in a wooded area and yet walking distance to the many sights, restaurants, and natural wildlife (gentle deer all around).

Beautiful old historic hotel
Really nice overnight in this beautiful, historic old hotel, perfectly situated to walk up to the park and Todaiji the following day. Lovely dinner in the main dining room. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with a private Onsen tub. Enjoyed looking at all the old pictures. Loved our stay!

Beautiful location and easy transportation but room service wasn’t great: you had to pay for water & staff were not very knowledgeable on the tourist attractions around them.

4/10 Fair

The rooms here are very outdated. We had old green carpet and pink tile over the whole bathroom. Our TV was on the same wall as the beds, so you couldn't watch tv from the bed. We asked to move but they said they were full. Our one reprieve from our awful room (and with food we could tolerate) was the bar, but on the second night the whole bar was reserved so we couldn't sit there. The hotel reeks of faded glory. That being said, the service and the hotel area were great.

Historical Hotel living in the past
The hotel has an amazing history and generally is very nice but dated and a bit tired. Our traditional Japanese room, which was semi below ground felt like we were in a dank basement. For the price, I felt it was a bit much compared to other more modern, family friendly hotels in the Kyoto/Osaka/Nara area.

The hotel is full of historical relevance, and it was to stay at this elegant and historical hotel. The rooms are roomy, clean, with toiletries and beverages provided. We ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel - everything was delicious, and very fresh. Hotel staff was great and nice; Shuttle service to/from Nara Station provided though I wish they told us that there's one, as we had to walk quite a ways to get to the hotel - we hopped on the wrong bus (should've taken a taxi); they have electric bike rentals and it was fun to go to Nara Park with the bikes. I would recommend this hotel for those who's visiting Nara - staying at this old historical hotel is an experience in itself.
