5-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable, but the pillow is too flat. The soundproofing effect is so-so, and the sound from the corridor can be clearly heard in the room. The air conditioner is loud. There are convenience stores, restaurants, 24-hour self-service laundry shops, and daily necessities supermarkets within 5-10 minutes. The neighborhood is quieter after dark, but safe. It takes only 5 minutes to walk to Kashihara Jingumae Station. The road is flat and you don't need to go up and down the elevator. There is a lounge on the 1st floor that provides snacks. From 8pm to 10pm, the hot spring bath will provide ”amazake”👍 But there is no self-service laundry and dry cleaning service. The bath is time-limited, not 24 hours. If you stay consecutively, you can request to clean the room every other day. The cleaning level is standard. There is a 2D Barcode on the information sheet to check the mixing situation of the bath.

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!

Booked during the cherry blossom season, the hotel price has increased to a very unworthy price... The environment is very Japanese, but the check-in process actually took quite a long time, and the girl who checked in was obviously not very patient. The room is ok, just like some of the better rooms in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, China. The garden view faces a cherry blossom tree... It's also okay... Don't go when the price is high, it's not worth it Others are ok. The atmosphere is full. PS: Such an expensive hotel charges for minibar!!!

The room is very clean and comfortable, with consistent JW Marriott quality service. It is located next to the Convention Center. There is a parking lot for self-driving tours, and bicycles can be borrowed for exploring the attractions in the area.

The hotel seems a bit dated but very well maintained with an old world charm. The room was reasonably sized and i really liked they implemented a lounge for all guests to access from 2-7pm with a wide range of drinks even sake and wine.

Exceeded 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.
