Nara Visitor Center and Inn

Very nice experience staying in this hotel. Everything is handy and smooth!

This was the best hotel on our trip to Japan! The Japanese style bedroom was spacious, clean and very cozy. The staff spoke English (and some Russian) very well. We also took part in free activities (cosplay, calligraphy, origami), which was fun. And there were some deer just outside the hotel.

Big and spacious room with great shower facility. There is an onsen for guest at the basement which are seperated gender. On the same floor, there is a rest area with coin payable laudromat. Room was quiet and peaceful to rest in. They provide very comfy pyjamas for you to wear as well. There is a kitchen with equiped ammnities that you can request at the reception counter. Overall great experience and wll defintely go back again

Conveniently placed, very welcoming and helpful people. Nice big rooms, okay public path, convenience store open during the day below the inn. Very useful doc for strolling in Nara and around. Unbeatable at this price, would book again with no hesitation.

We travel as family of 1 adult and 3 teens. Staying in a Japanese room for 3+1 for 5 nights. Room: With all futons out, not much room to move around. So we kept our 5 carry on luggage in the hallway. Not a big issue. Kitchen: good for simple cooking and heat up. Location: 15 minutes walk from JR station, 9 minutes walk from Kintetsu station, no need for a taxi. Also can walk to museum Todaiji and Kasuga Tsushima. Deers downstairs in the morning. Our room has great view of the pond and pagoda. Facilities: washing basin is on the balcony instead of with toilet and shower due to its original function as local government hostel. Public bath although not spring water, still good enough to enjoy traditional Japanese. Convenience store in basement open till 7:30pm. Small clothes drying rack is convenient for overnight underwear or socks. Reception: great service with always someone speaks languages other than Japanese. Also it has free daily activities such as making origami deers. Great place to have a relaxed tour in Nara. The downside of the place is the wifi signal a bit weak inside the room, while perfect near the hallway and inside the building. Also the coin laundry and dryers really need a good clean or replace the filter more regularly. All in all, a great experience staying in the Nara Visitor Inn! Thanks!

OMG. I LOVED IT HERE. THE PEOPLE HERE SPEAK SUCH EXCELLENT ENGLISH OR CHINESE. BOTH THE FRONT DESK AND THE Cultural exchange center!!! Highly recommend coming to stay here AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. To feel like a VIP, have a BIG ROOM all to yourself/your family and rest/relax in comfort!! They have many amenities available for rent and if there's anything you need at all, just let the front desk know. They really do help you to their best ability to make anything/everything possible. They have such excellent service! They have a bath, a laundromat and even public toilets for after check out! They have a shared kitchen anyone can use to cook in as well! I will be coming back next time with the whole family to stay for a few nights rather than just one! Totally worth it. The best time I've had so far in japan was over here!! And I've been to many tours and even to a 5 star hotel. This is truly the best!! But at night it is pretty cold and difficult to find food unless you know how to walk to the shopping street nearby - then you'll find food and lights! :) it was the best day/evening here! I love nara!!!
