Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring
9.4 (1,287 reviews)

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 Omiyacho 1-1-6, Nara City

"This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from the train station. It's far enough away from Nara's overly friendly deer that you don't have to worry about being bumped into or stepping in droppings. The hot springs here were our absolute favorite – so peaceful and comfortable, with friendly service. The restaurant recommendations from the front desk staff were a real treasure; every place they suggested was fantastic. Their breakfast spread was diverse and delicious, highly recommended!"

Hotel Fine Garden Nara Horai
8.1 (227 reviews)

Hotel Fine Garden Nara Horai ★★★

📍 4 Chome-34-7 Horai, Nara City

"We were given a smoking room as we can pick up the smell...most unpleasant for non smokers. It provides lots of extra stuff especially for young couples..interesting "love" hotel. Straight line drive to Nara Park."

Nara Royal Hotel
9.0 (162 reviews)

Nara Royal Hotel ★★★★

📍 254-1 Hokkejicho, Nara City

"The hotel is quite old, and my room on a low floor felt a bit dim. The hotel's attached hot spring was pretty good, with three pools and a dry sauna. Parking at the hotel costs 500 RMB."

Henn na Hotel Premier Nara
9.2 (631 reviews)

Henn na Hotel Premier Nara ★★★★

📍 Takama-cho 46-1, Nara City

"Location was near subway lines. Another subway line was not so far too. Many food options nearby and 2-3 bus stops to Nara park."

Piazza Hotel Nara
9.2 (734 reviews)

Piazza Hotel Nara ★★★★

📍 10-11-20 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"Right next to JR Nara Station, the room had a floor-to-ceiling window and complimentary bottled water in the mini-fridge. The toiletries were from Pola, and the toilet paper was Nepia. The only minor drawback was the slightly slow Wi-Fi."

Ryokan Asukasou at the Entrancne of Nara Park
9.5 (178 reviews)

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

📍 1113-3 Takabatakechō, Nara City

"It was a lovely welcoming ryokwn. We had a tatami room which was spacious and delightful smelling. We used the outdoor onsen for lovely night views even with the pagoda's current work."

AB Hotel Nara
9.1 (263 reviews)

AB Hotel Nara ★★★

📍 4-30 Sanjōhonmachi, Nara City

"OK business hotel. My room had apparently some strange "Eco" plan (which not sure where is came from - did not see it when booked) that does not include towels or linens change or even room trash can emptying, which was a bit of a surprise. My booking confirmation does not state the "Eco" anywhere. Breakfast is good. Onsen is a bit too small and can be crowdy."

The Deer Park Inn
9.3 (68 reviews)

The Deer Park Inn ★★

📍 158-5 Kasuganocho, Nara City

"The environment and price are okay, but the location is extremely inconvenient for transportation. If you have a lot of luggage, don't book this place, or you'll experience what it's like to be carrying a heavy load for a marathon."

Hotel Nikko Nara
9.0 (777 reviews)

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★

📍 8-1 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"This hotel exudes an old-money Japanese charm. The rooms are spacious and incredibly clean, and the lobby is grand. They offer various Nara-specific experiences. For breakfast, you can enjoy a wide array of Nara snacks right here, avoiding the crowds outside while still getting a premium experience. There's even a floor dedicated to hot springs, and you get complimentary ice cream after your soak – it's fantastic! Overall, it's a hotel with excellent value for money."

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

Shisui, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nara

"A question to think about, ‘What makes a hotel a luxury one?’ To me, it’s luxury because of the hospitality of the staff, quality of the property and the food they provided totally exceed travellers’ expectations, and as a result, we would love to pay more for the experience. Some staff really tried their very best to help me during my stay while some just didn’t. Upon arrival, I tried to communicate with the staff that I’d like to cancel my third night’s dinner because of the change of my plan. At first, I booked six meals in total and I’d only want to cancel one dinner and they said I needed to pay 100% for the cancelled meal because they have already bought the ingredients. Okay, I tried to understand that because they had already taken away my credit card and there’s nothing I could do about that and I thought it must be a very nice meal and that’s why they insisted that. Disappointingly, the portion was so small and paying the same amount of money I could get so much better food in 虹夕諾雅 or any other five star onsen hotels in Japan. As a result, I went to bed feeling hungry and eating the snacks I bought for myself :( The food portions are like a bento instead of a proper meal. ) Also, the Western style breakfast was so overpriced and the avocado in the omelette was not fresh at all. One more thing to note is that the complimentary champagne service they provided to their guests. It’s a nice experience but maybe I’m just a lady travelling alone and I couldn’t speak Japanese at all, the waitress didn’t serve me the same way as she served other people in the cafe. When all of them got two glasses of free drinks, one cocktail and one champagne, she only gave me one champagne and didn’t offer me the cocktail. And the day after, there was a nice staff who served me properly and I finally realized that I am entitled to two drinks. (Sigh)The experience was like buying a Chanel bag. The bag was pricey but the chain of the bag just suddenly fall apart while you are using it for the very first time. My advice is: Don’t use their catering services especially for the in-room dining plan. There are so many better choices out there in the city. The room and the service of the staff are great tho."

"The moment I stepped into the room, I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and clean it was. I also requested birthday decorations and a cake, and all my wishes were fulfilled. Thanks to the staff's incredible service, which exceeded my expectations, I had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. A big thank you to the gentleman who helped us so much, including taking photos. Thanks to your cooperation, we had a wonderful trip! Thank you very much."

"The hotel was the best we stayed at during this trip. It's across from the Nara City Hall and next to a beautiful bookstore. The rooms were nice, but surprisingly, they didn't offer water in the lobby. The front desk service wasn't very welcoming, and the breakfast wasn't quite to my taste. Everything else was fine."

"Our reservation at another place fell through and we found this place at the last moment. The location was not awesome. It seemed a bit shady and was far from most anything interesting. The hotel is old but looks like it would have been posh when it was first built. It’s been well maintained but needs updating. The beds were comfy. The room was nice, spacious, warm and had a private full bath, Tv, small refrigerator, and water heater. There are several places to sit and gather. We were able to play cards in a common area. The breakfast was very Japanese and not great for western tastes. They did have some bread items and cereal. There is a shuttle in the mornings to the train stations. The star of the place is the onsen. It is really beautiful. We enjoyed it several times in our short stay. I would return for that reason."

"I obviously booked dinner for two days, but I don’t know why I was asked to pay more than 7,000 yen when I left. They said that I didn’t pay for dinner one day and needed to be verified by the platform! In addition, the hotel has a nice view on the mountain, but it is inconvenient to travel down the mountain. We need to take a hotel shuttle bus, but the driver did not tell us how to pick us up after we went down the mountain. We had to take a taxi back. Taxi fees in Japan are indeed not cheap."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"I enjoyed my stay here. The Onsen was nice enough, though a bit on the hot side for my taste, and while being close to the train station is good for a quick walk on arrive hearing the train when you trying to relax in the onsen kills the vibes a bit. Had a pretty decent spread for the breakfast with some deserts as well."

Henn na Hotel Premier Nara ★★★★
"The room was a bit small, making it difficult to fully open two suitcases. However, it's quite close to the subway station, and the price was decent. Check-in is self-service and available in Chinese, which was pretty good. There's also an instant camera shop right across from the hotel."

The Deer Park Inn ★★
"When we arrived, the reception area was empty with just a note telling us to dial 1 on the phone to alert the staff. We followed the instructions, but no one answered/came. We ended up waiting about half an hour before someone finally showed up. This was a big deal for us because we were hoping to drop off our luggage and visit Todaiji Temple before it closed. Because of the wait, we had to skip Todaiji entirely that day.  The location is the inn's biggest strength. However, the rooms don't have tables to set your things on, and the walls are very thin. You can hear people in neighboring rooms snoring or chatting, and footsteps from the hallway are clearly audible. The shared bathrooms are clean. There's a cafe upstairs that opens in the morning for breakfast, and overnight guests get a discount. The food was so-so overall, though the local jam and honey were tasty. The rice flour muffins were dry. I wouldn't recommend this inn if you're a light sleeper or easily distracted by noise."
