Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae Reviews

The location of this hotel is pretty well, the Kintetsu Nara station is just across the street and the main station of the Nara buses is just in front of the door. I would not suggest foreign people to go to the East shopping street nearby for food since there are many restaurant closed and hard to get good meals. As the biggest chain hotel, this Tokoyo inn also has the convenient check in and out protocols and has staff can speak fluent English. The only obvious problem is the noise can always come in through the closed window. I lived in 4th floor but could still hear clearly when people down in the back street talking during the late night,

No coffee pods provided, never tried this experience.

Because I've stayed in Japanese hotels of about 11 square meters before, I was mentally prepared for the size of the room, but after opening the door, I felt that the space was larger than expected. The bathroom was very clean and I was generally satisfied. The location is very good, less than 100 meters from the Kintetsu Station, and there is a 711, Nara Park, art museums, and markets next to it, all within walking distance. There is also a post office in the alley nearby, which is convenient for sending postcards. The breakfast is a bit unaccustomed to me.

Very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, convenient transportation. The room was very quiet.

The room is clean and sanitary, the front desk service is warm and friendly, and it is very close to attractions and transportation.

The hotel is right outside the Kintetsu station. There is a 711 downstairs. The hotel is located on the street, so it is a bit noisy in the middle of the night. Other aspects are very good. I met many deer on the way from the hotel to Kasuga Taisha Shrine. The deer in Nara Park are really fierce. They bit my plastic bag. The deer are so cute.

The hotel is very close to Kintetsu and one kilometer away from JR. The brick floor in Nara is not very friendly to tourists with suitcases, and the suitcases are difficult to drag. The hotel is very close to the attractions and the breakfast is good.

Good service and great environment, especially breakfast included. I stayed for 3 nights and the breakfast was different every morning. The breakfast staff was very nice and asked if I wanted to add more food before closing the table. Love 🧡

The hotel chain has a good location, with convenient trams and buses. The front desk does not understand Chinese, but communication is still possible. The facilities are complete. The breakfast buffet is typical Japanese style, which is average.

Location was poor, service was excellent

The room is quiet, the breakfast is simple and convenient, the hotel can store luggage, it is located in the center and close to Nara Park, it is very convenient, there are large shopping malls and night markets nearby, it is a good choice

The hotel has self-service check-in, which is very convenient. There are no disposable toothpaste and toothbrush in the room, but there is a self-service area at the entrance of the hotel, with disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as DHC skin care sets, facial cleansers, makeup removers, and lotion samples, which are free to pick up. The location of the hotel is super good. It is right outside the Kintetsu Exit 5. The bus station is at the entrance and opposite the hotel. There is a bus tourist information center next to the hotel. You can buy a one-day bus ticket or a multi-day ticket. The one-day ticket is 500 yen per person, which is very cost-effective. Take bus No. 8 directly to Toshodaiji Temple. Yakuoji Temple is near it and is very close to it. There is a bus stop next to Yakuoji Temple, which takes you directly to Kasuga Taisha Shrine. It is recommended to find Kasuga Taisha Shrine and then walk slowly down to Nara Park.

I made a temporary reservation at this hotel. The location is very good. It's just opposite Kintetsu Nara. There are very few free breakfast options. After all, the price is not expensive and it's good to eat. The surprise is that there is a barbecue restaurant at the door that has a good theme. There is a commercial street not far away.

The hotel is in a good location, opposite Nara Hankyu Station. There are buses to Nara Park, Kasuga Taisha Shrine and other hotels in front of the hotel. There is a shopping street next to Hankyu Station, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. The hotel breakfast is just okay. Simple and delicious. The room is not big, but has all the necessary facilities. The front desk service is warm.
