Nara hotels near Kofuku-ji

Pros: It was more of a hotel than a hostel, at least the double bedroom we got had a private toilette with a bath wich was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room was well equipped. The common area was spacious and there was a big elevator.

Pros: A three minute walk from Kintetsu Station. Very near Deer park on a quiet and charming pedestrian lane. Spotless and well run. Staff was helpful and friendly. Coffee/tea available for free. Highly recommended

Pros: Very good location, private rooms are a bit small but comfortable and at a very good price.

Pros: value for the money, staff are nice and friendly.

Pros: This place was a gem! Warm and welcoming staff, free coffee and tea all day, cozy lounge/common area, clean rooms. Excellent location - just 1 min from the train station, super close to shopping, restaurants, convenience stores, and the deer park. The rooms are small (but pretty standard for Japan) and no-frills, but comfortable. You can also store your luggage for free, which has surprisingly not been the norm at a lot of properties we’ve stayed at throughout Japan.

Pros: Great location and very convenient price. Staff very friendly

Pros: Very conveniently located - short walk to the Nara station and the main street and all its cafes and restaurants. Slightly longer walk to the Nara-Koen , but easily accessible for even the moderately fit! Very clean and comfortable room. Access to a fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Pros: The owner was friendly and helpful. The guesthouse was so clean and close to JR Nara station. We have great experience for 2 nights stay.

Pros: Hardware is new and clean, in good condition

Pros: Staff had good English and were very helpful.

Pros: The room and facilities are super cute and practical. Reception staff was also very helpful.

Pros: Staff very kind and helpful

Pros: Clear information. Quite place and very kind reception.

Pros: Very new and clean room with a comfy bed. Fairly small but enough room for our luggage. The bathroom was a great addition and very clean as well. The guesthouse is in a very convenient location close to Nara station and an easy walk to most sites. Staff were very friendly and accommodating - let us store luggage on arrival and check out. We would definitely stay again if in Nara.

Pros: Firstly I would like to comment that it is becoming quite expensive to stay in Nara. Just a couple of years back I could still get good deals but it's becoming more and more expensive with each passing year. Piazza hotel is located just adjacent to JR Nara Station, so it's quite easy to access. However the main attraction of the city - Nara Park, is located at almost 20 minute walk. The rooms were nice and clean. Bathroom was exquisite with rain showers. Staff were helpful. In all everything was great about the hotel except it was a bit heavy on the wallet.

Pros: I liked most about this hotel. It is well equipped and modern. The rooms are small but functional. The bathroom is very nice.

Pros: Modern and clean

Pros: All

Pros: This hotel was a fantastic surprise - it's sited very close to the JR railway station and from the outside is not a particularly attractive building (which always makes me a bit nervous about what's waiting inside), but our room (decorated in a traditional Japanese style with some of the most beautiful wallpapers I've ever seen in a hotel...) was superb. Quality amenities, very comfortable beds and quality bedding, and a fantastic bathroom with lovely toiletries. The location was very central within Nara, so we mostly walked to where we wanted to go - Nara Koen (park) was roughly 2.5 km walk away, but the walk to and from was packed with sights and even stalls on the days that we visited so you hardly noticed you were walking. We chose a room package that included breakfast and were not disappointed with the selection of food on offer.

Pros: We stayed 2 nights at the Nara Hotel in early Dec, having booked a run of the house which was excellent value. We stayed in the old part of the hotel. Our bathroom had been fully renovated. The location was perfect for exploring the park, which is very large. We're very glad we stayed two nights in Nara, there's plenty to see and the Nara Hotel, too, was lovely.

Pros: Really like the atmosphere of the 110-year old building! Nice staff too

Pros: Very much.

Pros: As often is the case in Japan, unfailing courtesy, superb customer service, spotlessly clean, attentive to every detail

Pros: A hotel with a rich history, the first floor is in part just as much museum as hotel. Extremely high ceilings with windows to match that provided an incredible sunset view over the city. Enthusiastic, patient, and helpful staff.

Pros: the ambiance

Pros: Beautiful and very comfortable, but expensive for just one night.

Pros: A grand hotel steeped in history in a lovely park location. The staff were very attentive and helpful. We had a Hollywood twin in the ‘new’ building which was a good size, with plenty of room, storage space and a nice big bathroom with bath. Beds were very comfortable. We had the breakfast buffet for convenience, which was really good. Really good to have the shuttle that goes to the both the JR and Kinetsu stations.

Pros: This is an absolutely magnificent facility with staff completely committed to assisting with every need of every guest.

Pros: Superb staff, so gracious and helpful. Meals were amazing, as were the onsens.

Pros: This is a traditional Ryokan with 2 public baths, both of them are on the top floor which one is indoor and one is outdoor. I travel with one friend and we booked a family tatami room. The room is really spacious, other than the sleeping area, there is a sofa seating area and another tatami seating area. Location is good for us as we are the type of traveler that loves walking around, and it is quiet nearby that we had a very good sleep after the bath. It is located right opposite to the tourist centre which you can find useful information there. It takes around 20 mins to walk from Nara JR station, but it is very close to the shopping street which you could find many interesting local shops (around 5-10 mins walk). To go to the Nara Park area, it takes around 15-20 mins (we start from going to the Nara National Museum). The breakfast and dinner were also good, we had the dinner inside our room for the first night, dinner was nice and delicious. Their staff are also helpful, I asked them to call to book a workshop experience and they did their best to explain and help. If I have a chance to travel to Nara again, I will definitely choose Asukasou again :) Totally recommended!

Pros: Great location, baths, and outstanding quality in the restaurant. Really conveniently located right next to Nara Park, 10 minute walk from JR station. Would definitely stay there again, great value for the money. Highly recommended.

Pros: Amazing location. Friendly staff. Great Japanese dinner and breakfast included in price. Room was really comfortable. Outdoor bath with nicest views.

Pros: pretty much everything!

Pros: The staff were very warm and friendly, breakfast was very traditional and exceptionally carefully prepared. The staff went out of their way to ensure we made it to our train on time the following morning. The outdoor onsen was absolutely wonderful.

Pros: Everything. The staff, the comfort, the food, the location are just what you need for a great night stay.

Pros: Excellent breakfast in terms of food and service. Very authentic Japanese breakfast experience!

Pros: I loved the dinner and breakfast - both traditional style - delicious and beautifully presented. The dining rooms was stylish and calm, and all the public areas had soft music and a quiet atmosphere. The public baths were great too - I really enjoyed sitting in the outdoor one and admiring the view of the pagoda. Kimono to wear in the hotel was really good too.
