Nara hotels

Pros: A little gem! Yoko is the nicest host! Trust the comments - if you want a once in a lifetime experience in a guesthouse in Japan, stay here. The double bedroom was really nice too, plenty of space. Location is perfect - bike rental 1 min from the house and close to main points. I can’t recommend it enough!!!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The host was charming & helpful on all levels.

Pros: I liked everything! Amazing host and nice space!

Pros: We had a great time at the guest house. Yoko is a very kind host and helped us a lot during our stay. She even invited us too have a drink with her friends in the evening which was great. Before our departure she warned us of the coming Taifun which helped us tremendously because noone informed us of it before! The guesthouse is very clean and our japanese style room was really spacious. Would definetly recommend, especially for couples! Thanks a lot Yoko!

Pros: Guesthouse was awesome...veryyyyy spacious bed like for two even if it was bunk bed but this was another kind like level

Cons: I didn't like that I can't stay longer :(

Pros: Thanks Yoko san for her hospitality, my parents and i had an unforgettable stay here. We not only tried the tatami and the traditional japanese house,but also chatted together with her friends, which let us know more about japanese people and life. From this point of view , the experience is far more valued than we paid for the stay.

Cons: none.

Pros: Yoko was an incredibly friendly and personable host. Her place is clean and comfortable. Like staying with a good friend, you feel right at home. Her place is really well-located and within walking distance to the subway/train station. Would definitely stay with her again!

Pros: Everything was perfect! Yoko, the owner, is such a generous person and very friendly. Her guest house is a typical japanese style place, very beautiful, comfortable and cute. I definitely recommend!

Pros: the guesthouse is nice, but what really makes the difference is the host, Yoko! She is extremely nice and helpful, always ready to give you recommendations on where to go and to make you feel at home! She gave some amazing jam for breakfast! We stayed in the twin room, which was nice even if the bed did not have bed sheets, just a slim matress (over the main mattress) and douvet (and I don't find those japanese mattresses very comfortable). Bathroom is shared between all guests, but it is always clean.

Cons: Slightly pricey considering you have to share the bathroom, but Yoko makes it worth it! She is the best host we had in Japan!

Pros: Most amazing experience for our entire trip in Japan The place is magical, the people is incredibly kind. It has been a dream come true

Cons: Our stay was too short, didn’t want to leave

Pros: Beautiful retreat in the primeval forest of Nara. Amazing dinners and excellent hospitality.

Cons: A bit more English proficiency would be nice, and a few less bugs who found their way in from the forest.

Pros: Really traditional and beautiful

Cons: Staff don’t speak English that well

Pros: Amazing Japanese dinner. Warm and welcoming staff. City taxi cancelled our pick-up in the last minute and hotel staff took us to the trains station so that we don't miss our departure.

Pros: Fantastic location.... we walked up to Tsukihitei from Nara Park, a little distance but very do-able without bags (we had forward on to our next location so only had daypacks). Take time to have the bath, very relaxing. The food is incredible, somewhat challenging for the kids (little whole sardines) but go ahead and try it all, there is so much for dinner we couldn't give the breakfast the respect it deserved.

Pros: I love this hotel so much. It’s very tradition at the same time very caring. Staffs are good and polite. It’s good to have them to serve us. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and beautiful too. Like this place so much!

Cons: There was a big spider came into our room (which has been mentioned in the living guide that some insects may come in as the hotel is located in a forest). Anyway the spider was so scary and leave quickly. Then we had a very nice night.

Pros: Authentic and traditional ryokan, unforgettable experience experience.

Cons: Too much food! We felt sorry not to finish everything! Also, would have appreciated some kids friendly options for the kaiseki.

Pros: Location was amazing. Room v nice and traditional. Evening meal v extensive and interesting.

Cons: Hand drier in the bathroom

Pros: It’s a charming ryokan in the wonderful forest, with the river running near your window and a perfect location for exploring the parks and shrines by feet. Excellent cuisine. Very welcoming staff. They also organized a wonderful in-room massage for us.

Cons: It’s a bit dated, but that can be said about most of the ryokans.

Pros: I'll definately come again. Nice location, clean, comfortable, and with good price. Highly recommended.

Pros: Beautiful authentic Japanese feeling House! Good location between Nara Station and most sights, close to lots of restaurants and shops. The room (4bed female dorm) was very nice and spacious with a sink.

Cons: Check in was a little rushed, but maybe the lady in charge of it had some reason to be in a hurry.

Pros: The view from our room was the beautiful little courtyard! The breakfast was lovely, and the entire property was better than expected. They even provide a computer!

Cons: Short entryways caused my tall friend to bump his head often.

Pros: Very friendly host who speaks very well English Spacious room with comfortable beds Nice shared bathroom and kitchen Everything very clean Good and cheap breakfast Possible to store your luggage Good location (close to both train stations and to Nara Koen) Great value for your money

Cons: /

Pros: A guest house renovated from an old house with nice garden. The female dorm offers privacy and feels like a private room with just 4 beds. The guest house is very clean with enough showers, toilets. The staff are very friendly! The place is also near Kintetsu station. Its on a big street but very quiet inside. I will come back the next time I visit Nara!

Cons: None!

Pros: Traditional Japanese building

Cons: Thin bed

Pros: Central location, great hospitality, and more than adequate amenities for the cost. I was comfortable, happy, and enjoyed the community atmosphere.

Cons: Would of been nice to have a washing bucket by laundry sink so you could hand wash items and line dry.

Pros: The place feels really cool, the workers are friendly and gave me good advices for the sightseeing in Nara. We also liked how everything was cleaned. There is a small garden in the middle of the house, like Japanese traditional houses. You can also rent bicycle for very cheap which is convinnient for visiting nara

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This hotel provides the complete package: really excellent service, excellent location neat Kintetsu Nara Station, and a very short walk from Nara Park, large well equipped rooms and bathrooms, and a fully equipped free minibar. We had a very comfortable stay. On departure, they insisted on carrying our luggage to the train station.

Pros: The close proximity to Nara Park was a definite plus. It must be the best location in the city for visitors. The hotel was elegant, the staff were helpful and most courteous and the meals taken in the hotel were of a high standard and beautifully presented. It rates as our best hotel experience ever, I believe. The raising of the national flag of resident guests is a wonderful touch.

Pros: The service was impeccable and they went out of their way to meet the needs of my vegan daughter. The many courses served for dinner were superb. The location with the deer on the doorstep was wonderful.

Pros: Great service and location, but a little too pricey. We were served a huge number of beautifully prepared dishes (included in the price). We then understood we are not fans of Japanese food...

Cons: Japanese breakfast (I guess Japanese people would disagree).

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything. The staff. The food. The location to the temples. The decor. It was amazing. Great value. My best stay in Japan thus far. Could not recommend more highly.

Pros: The location was special.

Cons: Food was mediocre. English language skills so-so.

Pros: Beautiful room with outlook onto garden courtyard.

Pros: Centre of town can be reached in a couple of minutes. Very friendly owners (who gave us great ideas for lunch and dinner in the surroundings); old, traditional Japanese house (ex-calligraphy school). Large (and quite beautiful, especially the one downstairs) rooms.

Cons: Really a "youthhostel" feeling, which somehow surprised us. List of rules (incl. switch-off of electricity at 11:00 p.m.!) that you are explicitly and upon arrival made to read, incl. that you are to unmake your bed and bring down sheets and everything upon departure. Besides tea and water, you have to pay extra for anything that you desire (incl. extra towel, bicycle). No jakuta (in-house "kimono") provided. Your room will not be entered during your stay, for the better and the worse of it.

Pros: The beautiful home and the lovely helpful hosts.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Naramichi guesthouse is a hundred years old traditional japanese house, well cared after by the hosts. It was a pleasure to stay with Shunju and Kimiko for 3 days, they speak great English and are always available to give information or teach you some japanese words and traditions. The common area is lovely and very welcoming. I highly recommend this accommodation to everyone. I hope to be back in Nara soon.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hosts were amazing

Pros: Great place with clean rooms and excellent shower. Staff are very nice and accomodating and location is 10 min from Nara's main attractions.

Pros: I like thé peacefulness and thé friendly atmosphere. This place is calm and full of conviviality at thé same time.

Cons: Thé noise of the cars .. it is not direct but we can hear thé noisy cars at night.

Pros: A beautiful and cozy place with a very personal touch. The owners, Kumiko and Shunju, were super friendly and very helpful. The centre of Nara is easily reached on foot. All in all, would wholeheartedly recommend!

Pros: This is a very lovely and traditional guesthouse near the station. It is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. The owners are very lovely and always helpful. They‘ll give you information about all the showplaces around the area. You feel very welcome. In the living room is a place to eat and there is coffee and tea for free. This traditional guesthouse shows you a bit of the good old Japanese style. Very nice!

Pros: Gorgeous house with a rich history, nice owners, has everything you may need.

Cons: Not a fan of late check in times in Japan. 4pm - 10am is too little for a house like that, so be sure to stay at least two nights.

Pros: The staff at the LOHAS chain is unbeatable in terms of friendliness and helpfulness. The beds are comfortable and I love being able to choose my own pillow. The location is steps away from the JR station, which is perfect, and within walking distance of everywhere else. I would 100% choose this hotel again.

Pros: mostly excellent. great facilities in room (workable desk, electric kettle, hair dryer, yukata(!), selectable pillow, usb charger outlet on the bed side, phone charger adapter, ...) and hotel (particularly the hot bath. ahhh, how i enjoyed that each and every night. well, almost. it requires an access code, and i was out all day one day and missed to pick the code before reception closed.). breakfast was fine, including both continental european and japanese style food. nice view from the breakfast room.

Cons: quite small room (i missed a place to store my suitcase) and tiny bath room. milk glass window (ie no view), which could only be opened a crack, so "fresh" air limited to air conditioning.

Pros: Excellent quality of service. The personnel was very kind, and even recommended nice restaurants (with discounts ;)), the bed very comfortable. I can only recommend for a nice stay in Nara.

Pros: The location was very good ... direct access from train station. Staff were very nice and supportive.

Pros: Little things can make a big difference. Like the handwritten welcoming note from the staff, which was hugely appreciated. As were the handmade paper cranes made out of the Australian and Japanese flags. You could not ask for easier access to transport and Nara's outstanding cultural assets were within easy walking distance. A very comfortable place to stay.

Pros: We loved the spa

Pros: the location is perfect

Cons: if time of check out could be later, will be better

Pros: the location is very convenient，which is next to the JR Nara station，there are a lot of buses in front of the hotel，u can choose ur favourite pillow from many ones and the working staff are so friendly and professional，plus，they have onson itself. though I didn't experience it. actually，there is a big supermarket nearby and u can buy a lot of stuffs over there

Pros: Decided on a last minute side tour to Nara and ended up at Oak Hostel in a shared dorm. Capsule bed is clean, simple, comfortable. Free locker, quality washing facilities and BIKE Rental are all big plusses. But the best part of this hostel is the staff, the two lovely ladies who helped me throughout the Stay were a delight. Great recommendations on getting the most out of Nara on a day trip! Thank you

Cons: No real meal preparation space and other microwave/hot water nothing to cook with After housekeeping removed my charger in my private room it stopped working, I don’t expect them to replace it (no way to prove that was what broke it after all) but staff couldn’t even say sorry for the inconvenience.

Pros: Nice assortment of pastries and breads for breakfast, with different options each morning. Some mornings they had hot/iced coffee and hot/iced tea.

Cons: The rooms are small (typical in Japan), so large suitcases can be problematic.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very convenient location in the very centre near shops restaurants and tourists spots. Best value for money! Clean and comfortable.

Pros: The location of the hostel is very convenient as it’s in the middle of Nara’s shopping area near the station. It was a little difficult finding since it is on the 2nd floor of a terrace like area. The hostel is very clean and pretty. The staff was very nice!

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, comfortable and well equipped room. Free coffee and tea. Restaurant recommendations.

Cons: Please prepare more coffee in the morning.

Pros: Amazing place with great location, great vibe and staff very helpful!

Cons: We couldn‘t open the window in our room. Other than that. We loved it :)

Pros: nice staff, great location, near Kintetsu station and Naramachi, and really close to Kofkuji. Walk to Nara Park or Todaiji about 15 to 20 min.

Pros: Everything!

Pros: They provided extra bed even though i did not requested for it. They also provided extra pillows. Location is good, Staff are polite and approachable.

Cons: 1st, The slippers are for two persons only, we are three. 2nd, The room area is so small, can’t move freely especially the distance between the TV and the bed. 3rd, beds and pillows are not soft.

Pros: Very nice and friendly staff!

Pros: The location is right at the Nara JR station, so we found it to be convenient to drop off our luggage and tour Nara for a 1 night stay. The hotel is very clean.

Cons: The room was very small a family of 4 - you can get a better deal in Nara for the price.

Pros: Very central for all tourist sites and for restaurants

Cons: Had a room for 3 persons. Quite cramped. Bathroom was a pod clean but small.

Pros: I liked the very friendly, helpful staff, the clean, larger than normal rooms and the excellent location.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Staff was very helpful. Hotel was conveniently located. Food good too!

Pros: Breakfast was novel and delicious for me. I usually eat cereal, fruit, eggs and toast. I had curry, cabbage, seaweed and rice. And iced coffee with no milk. Enjoyed it.

Pros: It’s a great location. Walking distance to trains and bus stops, very close to the deer park and a few shopping and eating places. The staff were all very polite and very welcoming.

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons: Breakfast was in my opinion average, maybe slightly above average.

Pros: Location ideal for Nara station.

Cons: Quite basic facilities. Very much a business hotel with little extra to offer. Very strict on check in time.

Pros: This has been our favorite hotel of the trip to Japan. The location cannot be beat. It is literally adjacent to the JR train station and bus station. We stayed in a Japanese style room and it was perfect. The beds were very comfortable, the room was small but well appointed, the automatic blinds were great, and the shower was amazing. The breakfast was a Japanese style and was wonderful. The staff could not have been more accommodating. We wished we were staying longer in Nara just so we could stay at this hotel longer. Love it.

Pros: Location can't be beat, you can literally see the entrance from Nara station and it's a two minute walk away. The staff are so incredibly nice and the rooms are very nice and clean (though a bit small unless you upgrade). The shower "room" is a real treat and the hotel is close to an amazing grocery store (KOHYO) and only a block from the main shopping area which leads right to the Tōfuku-ji and the Tōdai-ji. Other hotels might be "closer to the action" but when traveling I think it's worth more to be closer to the train station.

Cons: First room was rather small but we got an upgrade due to a clerical error and the upgraded room was very nice. The curtains are remote controlled but they're rather slow and not precise every time—having a manual system would be nicer and faster.

Pros: the room is so clean and neat,love the shower room you should try too

Cons: everything is so good and perfect especially price

Pros: Very clean room

Cons: A little expensive

Pros: Excellent shower!! Comfortable beds. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location.

Cons: Lack of privacy in the toilet. Unable to darken room.

Pros: Hotel is modern, beautifully appointed, well lit, with nice views and is 1 minute from Nara’s train station. The breakfast, (given our western tastes), was the best we’ve had in Japan. The staff was kind and helpful.

Cons: It is far, (30 minute walk) from the historic sites.

Pros: The location is great right next to the Nara station! The staff is amazing! We loved the experience, we’ll be back!

Cons: Nothing, it was Perfect!

Pros: This is the best hotel we have stayed in for all our travels to Japan. If you're looking for a hotel close to the station, this is the one for you. Located a stone's throw away from JR Nara station as well as a 10 minute walk to a shopping district and a 15-20 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride to Nara Park, Piazza Hotel is close to everything you need to see in Nara. Downtown Nara gets pretty quiet at night, so if you're looking for a reprieve from city life, but don't want to go to the mountains, this place is a good compromise. The staff is very friendly and the front desk has at least one person who can speak English. When booking, I recommend getting a corner room as they are bigger. The view of the city and Mount Wakakusa is pretty and can be enjoyed through floor to ceiling windows. The room size is bigger than most you'd find in the city, like Tokyo, but about the same size as you'd find in Osaka. The hotel itself is modern and very clean. It is one of the only hotels in Japan that I recommend using their tub for a bath as it is that clean. There is no mildew anywhere, which is a difficult feat with all the humidity. The breakfast served Japanese small dishes, as well as cereal and toast. Coffee and tea are also available. The food is ok, so if you don't include it in your booking and want to eat elsewhere, you're not missing much. That said, if you do want to try standard "kaiseki" dishes for breakfast, you can do so. There is also a convenience store below and attached to the hotel, so if you need a snack or anything, you can just go downstairs. I highly recommend this place, especially to travellers who want to do Nara when they first arrive and are very jetlagged. It's a great place to relax and if I had known how amazing this hotel is, I definitely would have booked a longer stay.

Cons: I loved everything!

Pros: The food was good. The lady working the breakfast was very good.

Cons: Limited by comparison to other local hotels like the Century

Pros: The staff were so friendly and made us feel like The Deer Park Inn was our home. We loved the communal space where we could have our dinner and the fact our room overlooked the deer park so we woke up to beautiful views and nature sounds. The perfect countryside retreat!

Cons: Nothing. Our stay was exceptional.

Pros: Great location at low cost.

Pros: The location in the middle of the park is fantastic! It is very quiet. I had a big comfortable room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful stay and would fully recommend this accomodation!

Pros: The room was cute clean and cozy. The inn is right in the park that I felt the price was too low for how amazing the location was, as deer walked in my window view often. I am fortunate the price was so low as a student I don't know if I'd be able to afford what the room was worth to me.

Cons: There was nothing I didn't like.

Pros: You can see the deers from the window of your room

Cons: It is a bit far than the road that Google maps shows

Pros: The Deer Park Inn is in the center of Nara park. If you OK with staying in hostles this is the place! The staff was great and the host Taka gave me a few tips in local activities. He told me about local traditional festival in a near temple and I thank him for this experience.

Pros: The caretakers where very friendly and helpful. Nice beds and pillows. Fantastic location if you don't feel the need to be near the station.

Pros: The inn was located right in the park, so everything was in walking distance.

Cons: Because the inn is so far into the park it is hard to find a place to eat after dark.

Pros: The place is lovely, right inside the Nara park and next to some hills. The place is really clean, and the racks (i stayed in a shared room of 4) are spacious and confortable. The bathrooms are very clean as well, not cramped. I highly recommend the plce to anyone.

Cons: One thing I liked about it is that is away from the ceter area and right inside the park, as a result it is quite. Walk from the JR nara station, although a bit closer to the other station in Nara. I did not mind the walk there, but I was carrying a light backpack, so I throughly enjoyed my walk there, but for people carring big and heavy suitcases u might need a cab. Everything in the area closes around 5, so if u want food at night, u need to go to the center to find some. Other than that, if u like green and waking up and seeing first wild deer in the morning, this is the place for u.

Pros: Location! Its in the middle of the action, next to the biggest temple.

Cons: Maybe the noise. Old wooden charming floors crack a bit. But that is also something charming!

Pros: Cosy little inn right in the Nara park, comfortable rooms and great views.

Pros: Excellent staff, service, amenities, wifi, cleanliness, breakfast, beautiful room. Located a few minutes walk from the station and also few minutes walk from Nara Deer Park

Pros: The rooms were great and the staff were soooo friendly. The roof view from the terrace was lovely

Pros: Very comfortable and spacious room with quality toiletries - we were in the triple room with beds and private external bath. Food is excellent and a highly recommended part of the experience. Bonuses from hotel includes welcome tea, deer biscuits and a free photo as memorabilia.

Cons: On a very hot day, the place is a bit far to walk to/from the Kintetsu station. Because of the heat, we did not utilise the private outdoor bath.

Pros: Great location!

Cons: Too bad there wasn’t a shuttle van to the train station. We had 7 in our group and we had to take 3 taxis to and from the property.

Pros: The staff were incredible - never felt so warmly welcomed as a female solo traveller. The facilities were brilliant as there is a onsen and sky view balcony . The bedroom was a great traditional experience . The little details across the hotel influenced by Nara’s deer were a really sweet touch to the place. Location was good.

Pros: The staff were kind and helpful. The room was wonderful, with big tatami mats, a spacious bathroom, big bathtub, fancy toilet, and even a massage chair. I loved the Kaiseki food. The onsen was relaxing and tattoo friendly. They even arranged a free guide for me to tour Nara, and gave me cookies to feed the sacred deer.

Cons: I wish I stayed longer :)

Pros: Great location. Reasonable price.

Pros: Good very clean

Cons: Very nice

Pros: The view from our bath outside was perfect. The onsen were great. The kaiseki meal was great. We loved this place.

Pros: The room was spacious and comfortable and there was a lovely common reception area for a drink or to read. Dining rooms were also lovely and the food was delicious.

Cons: The private tub was not very private unless you pulled over a large curtain on the balcony.

Pros: Spacious and clean Japanese room. Great onsen. Free water and coffee. Good Japanese breakfast in a private room. Very welcoming staff.

Pros: Extremely helpful host: he helped is with buying airport tickets and even brought us to the stop at 5.40 am: far above expectation. We even got delicious sandwiches for on the way. Comfortable futons. Lovely breakfast.

Cons: The lovely sliding doors/windows might be noisy during windy/rainy nights.

Pros: Hospitality of the host, authenticity of the house, extensive breakfast with plenty of choice

Pros: Everything!

Pros: breakfast was amazing and homemade, the staff was really nice and friendly, a true Japanese guesthouse there was the air conditioner and television in the room

Pros: The breakfast was really delicious and the owner was trying really hard and was nice.

Cons: The room was so small and sinister, especially for the amount of money we paid. Also, the sink was out in the hallway and it was only one sink and one toilet and shower to be shared with all the guests. It seems like the other room was much larger and much more comfortable and we deduced that it was the same price as ours. There were no pictures of the room on booking so we did not know what to expect and would have never booked if we had known. Terrible room!!!!

Pros: Lovely host who welcomed us with a refreshing drink and a piece of cake. The Japanese breakfast that's included in the stay was also very yummy. We enjoyed our 2 days/nights in Nara a lot and would have stayed longer have we had the time!

Pros: Warm hospitality, welcoming treat and a fantastic homemade breakfast Japanese or Western. A lovely hostess with a motherly attitude..

Pros: I loved staying here, everything was perfect. As soon as I arrived, the owner had a piece of cake ready for me! It was delicious. She was very sweet and showed me a map of Nara and gave me all the information I needed about the area. I chose to have both breakfast and dinner at Hotobil and I was not disappointed! The food was so tasty, especially the beef curry

Cons: Nothing. I just wish I could have stayed longer!

Pros: The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is among the best we had in the entire Japan trip - I would fully recommend staying there just for the sake of eating there.

Cons: A little bit out of the way. Need to take a bus to / from the station and Nara Park.

Pros: Good location, walking distance to Nara Park. Very kind staffs, beautiful welcome cake and traditional Japanese breakfast. We felt like home after a long day walk.
