Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae
9.4 (703 reviews)

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae ★★★★

📍 30-1 Konishicho, Nara City

"This was my second time visiting Nara, and this time I traveled completely independently. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient. Coming from Kyoto on the Kintetsu Nara Line, you just walk straight down a bustling shopping and food street from the subway station, and the hotel is right at the end. It has a resort-style feel. There's no hot water dispenser in the room, so if you want hot water, you have to go downstairs, which is a bit inconvenient. I ended up bringing my own water every day. Bus route number 2 stops right outside and is a loop line, making it easy to get to all the attractions whenever you want."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring
9.4 (1,275 reviews)

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 Omiyacho 1-1-6, Nara City

"I liked the friendliness and professionalism of the staff! I find them very helpful and kind! I like the onsen, massage chair, ice cream and breakfast. I lived in the room facing the train tracks. The sound proof windows do a good job blocking the sound. The entrance is separated by 2 doors, so I didn’t hear much from the hallway. Very private."

LOCO minami-ichi
9.2 (46 reviews)

LOCO minami-ichi ★★★

📍 10-4 Minamiichicho, Nara City

"The room was clean, just as described. If you have a large suitcase, keeping it open might be a bit inconvenient, but for a 2-3 night stay, there's enough space to leave a smaller suitcase open and still move around comfortably. For this price, having a private toilet and shower in the room, right next to a shopping street, is simply fantastic. Check-in was easy despite it being unstaffed. There's an office a few minutes' walk away where you can store your luggage if needed. I would definitely like to stay here again."

Hotel Nikko Nara
9.0 (737 reviews)

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★

📍 8-1 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"Very close to NARA JR, nice and clean with good amenities but my automatic washer in toilet is broken. Hotel staff was friendly but not fluent in English. Good for business and travel in Nara. p.s. my friend who reserve room+breakfast said the morning buffet is good in both Japanese and Western style, might try on next visit"

Piazza Hotel Nara

Piazza Hotel Nara ★★★★

📍 10-11-20 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"The hotel is very good and convenient. The room is very nice and clean."

Hotel New Wakasa
9.4 (69 reviews)

Hotel New Wakasa ★★★★

📍 Hotel New Wakasa, 1-3-1 Kitahanda Higashimachi, Nara City

"The hotel is wonderful! Very clean, a hot onsen right in the room on the balcony, goodie bags, a very beautiful entrance hall, a beautiful view from the rooftop. I didn't like the traditional Japanese breakfast—there just wasn't enough for my taste. A European breakfast is better."

Ryokan Asukasou at the Entrancne of Nara Park
9.5 (160 reviews)

Ryokan Asukasou at the Entrancne of Nara Park ★★★★

📍 1113-3 Takabatakechō, Nara City

"Hotel was about 2 mins walk from the entrance of Nara park n the shopping district. Very good location. You could either walk 1.3km to the hotel from the JR station, or take a taxi which would cost around 1200yen. About 10 mins walk from the metro station. I stayed for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner inclusive. The Ryokan did take note n served us a different menu each day. There was also a small indoor n outdoor onsen in the Ryokan. The food was superb."

"When you first walk in the smell of relaxation hits you. I'm not sure what fragrance it was but absolutely loved it. We enjoyed everything about this hotel from location, food and room accommodations."

Nara Kasuga KANOYA Hotels in Nara City

Nara Kasuga KANOYA

"This has been one of the best if not THE best experience I have ever had in a Japanese hotel. We stayed in Nara for 2 days. The hotel has only a few rooms and quietly located within walking distance of the Kasuga Taisha. The room we had faces the forest on one side and a beautiful path on the other, and it was super large. It might not be as noticeable as others near the train station, but it’s a must try if you plan to stay in Nara for an extended period, which in its own rightis definitely worth it."

"The hotel has a very historical feel. We booked the cheapest room in the main building. The room is not big and can't accommodate suitcases. The breakfast is interesting and the visual selection is better than the taste. The service is OK, but early check-in is not possible."

Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara Hotels in Nara City

Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara

"A fantastic gem which we we enjoyed every minute we stayed there. The choice of having a private onsen in our room was worth every penny of the premium we paid. I had my onsen dip three times a day and had never felt more relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel compound is so beautiful and all the staff were so accommodating. I would highly recommend this hotel who like spend a relaxing time in Nara."

Hotel Asyl Nara Hotels in Nara City

Hotel Asyl Nara

"The room was absolutely great. In Japanese style, futons, tatami, exactly the one we wanted to try. Staff friendly, helpfull and kind. The only thing we dislike was the smell of fried oil in the hotel corridors. Luckily it did not smell in the room."

Hotel Asyl Nara Annex Hotels in Nara City

Hotel Asyl Nara Annex

"An older hotel but very well maintained and clean. The bed was comfortable and the room size was decent. Free parking is definitely a bonus. Breakfast was included and the food was amazing. The staff were lovely and welcoming and they even provide free beverages from 3pm onwards which is a nice touch. Overall the price is reasonable for what you get. Location is not far if you are driving to the tourist attraction."

Kamenoi Hotel Nara Hotels in Nara City

"The hotel staff are very professional and they can meet my needs. There are surprises for breakfast and dinner, add a little money and you can have all-you-can-eat long-legged crabs. Room cleanliness is good."

Fufu Nara Hotels in Nara City

Fufu Nara

"Fufu Nara is a wonderful hotel that offers a truly relaxing and luxurious experience. The hotel is very clean and well maintained, with beautiful rooms that feel calm and comfortable. The service is excellent — the staff are attentive, polite, and always ready to help, making us feel very well taken care of throughout our stay. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, using high-quality ingredients that really highlight Japanese cuisine. Every meal felt special and memorable. The location is also great, surrounded by nature and close to Nara’s main attractions, yet very peaceful and quiet. Overall, Fufu Nara is a perfect choice for anyone looking for comfort, great service, amazing food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended"

Miroku Nara by the Share Hotels

"This is the most stupid hotel I have ever been to. I had my breakfast here and that’s food to make sure. And for lunch I decided to eat some sandwiches at the canteen. That’s also food with no smell. When I was just about to order some drinks, a staff came to me and said ‘food is not allowed here.’ Then where else can I eat this??? And he said downstairs in b1. I was totally shocked by his logic which was zero logic. Breakfast = food and outer food = food as well, like it’s just a sandwich with no smell. Is it not a hotel that guests are even not allowed to eat their food in the sun with fresh air?? Any food not provided by them are not allowed and there was no other space to sit in the lobby. This is as funny as ****. They are even more stupid than robots that they make up rules with no logic and they will follow them without thinking till die. 很糟糕的一次经历:首先位置比较偏,房间窗帘不够隔亮;其次大堂未消费者不允许使用,即使点了他们的咖啡也不能吃外带的汉堡,不可思议;最后早餐分日式和西式,我要求日式,她们说已经售完,但是后面的几位美国客人点日式就有了,赤裸裸的美国舔狗?总之是要被拉黑的一家酒店"

LOCO minami-ichi ★★★
"We checked into this hotel in Nara to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of this amazing city. We chose this hotel because of its convenient self check-in and check-out system – it's all very simple and fast. We recommend confirming your passport details in advance. The room looked small in the photos, but in reality, it's very decent and well-zoned. It's a great option for one night, especially if you want to wake up with the sunrise and see the deer still asleep, observing them before the tourists arrive. There's also an opportunity to buy crackers – during cherry blossom season, we noticed that many shops had already sold out by midday, so we recommend waking up early. The only drawback of this type of accommodation is the very thin walls. There are signs warning guests not to make noise after a certain time. We did hear other guests, but everyone was considerate, and we fell asleep very quickly, so nothing bothered us. We really enjoyed the experience and were very satisfied!"

"Everything was excellent, I loved it! 💕 There was a lovely lady at the front desk who was a compatriot. She was so patient, polite, and friendly, and helped me find a quiet room. The single room was very cozy. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. My favorite was that vegetable and tofu soup – so tasty and comforting."
