Henn na Hotel Premier Nara ★★★★

📍 Takama-cho 46-1, Nara City

"The room was clean and tidy, though a bit small. It's very close to the subway station, making transportation super convenient for getting around. The hotel has an automated check-in system at the front desk. Overall, it's pretty good."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 Omiyacho 1-1-6, Nara City

"This was one of the low key place where it is located after crossing Nara train station. Convenient. Staff was welcoming, allow to leave luggage before check in time. The whole hotel has tatami flooring, you need to go to locker leave your shoes in there, throughout the stay. In the room they gave you a bag, socks to wear around hotel and towels to use in public onsen. It was a great experience and dipping in hot pool after long day walk. Most families guests, and they allow older kids accompanied with parent of same gender. But those parent don't know how to control kids should respect the other guests. I have kid myself and try to be respectful. Since after onsen they wan to give cooling down so they have free flow ice cream afternoon to night. And probiotic drink morning. They have a massage chair and if it is peak season proly all these will be in queue. But I went on weekday and end of May so it was quite nice. Not too busy. I didnt pick hotel breakfast as I always wake up late lol. Oh and supper 9pm or 930pm onward they provide ramen and it was real nice after a long day and after onsen, hearty hot ramen soup and green tea to end the night. The experience they provide part of the stay is really fantastic!"

Smile Hotel Nara ★★★

📍 4-21 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"Excellent location—right next to Nara Station, making it very convenient to take the bus to Tōdai-ji and Nara Park. The hotel room was very clean and well-equipped, with a bathtub, TV, refrigerator, and everything you might need. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely my top choice for my next trip to Nara!"

Hotel Nikko Nara
9.0 (746 reviews)

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★

📍 8-1 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"The hotel's location is pretty good. You exit JR Nara West and take the second-floor outdoor corridor to get to the hotel. The front desk is on the third floor. The service was very enthusiastic and excellent. Breakfast was also very, very plentiful. It's just that the hotel is a bit old; the facilities feel like they've been around for a while."

9.5 (713 reviews)

Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae ★★★★

📍 30-1 Konishicho, Nara City

"It's a very new hotel with Chinese-speaking staff. Although it's not in a major transportation hub, the hotel has a shuttle bus, and there are buses right next to the hotel that go to Kintetsu Railway."

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."

Nara Hotel Hotels in Nara City

Nara Hotel

"The service is very good and the environment is beautiful. The hotel has its own courtyard for taking photos, and there are no tourists from tour groups to disturb you. The historical atmosphere is all made of wood. The gate, lobby, front desk, and stairs alone can make a big movie. The room is very large. It is close to the Daibutsuji Temple. You can leave at 7 o'clock in the morning and avoid the crowds at the foot of Higashiyama. Nara Hotel is the most outstanding hotel in this 5-day, 4-night stay."

Super Hotel Jr Nara Ekimae Sanjo Dori Hotels in Nara City

Super Hotel Jr Nara Ekimae Sanjo Dori

"My trip to Japan was so enjoyable largely because of this hotel! I was initially worried about the two Superhotels, but this one was fantastic! It's right across from the JR station, and the staff at the front desk all speak Chinese, and I heard they also speak Korean, Japanese, and English—amazing! Communication was completely seamless. During check-in, they explained everything in detail, including pillows, pajamas, combs, shampoo, and more! The breakfast was delicious and very Japanese, and I noticed many Japanese people choose to stay here, which was really great. Nara Park is also within walking distance. Overall, I had a wonderful time. I've already recommended it to everyone I know, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kansai—it's even cheaper than others! The rooms are small, but that seems to be a common problem with Japanese hotels."

Washington Hotel Plaza Nara Hotels in Nara City

Washington Hotel Plaza Nara

"This is a great choice for solo travelers. It's located on Nara's main street, perfectly situated between Kintetsu Nara Station and JR Nara Station, offering easy access to all the major sights. There are numerous dining options nearby, and I'd advise against eating at the hotel as the prices are quite high. It's excellent for an overnight stay and provides great value for money. Although the rooms are small, they're well-equipped, and you can even take a bath to relax and wash away the day's tiredness. The view is alright. If you're after luxury, there are plenty of 4- and 5-star hotels in the area."

"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."

"We really appreciated the stay at the old traditionnal timber house, everything is kept in its style. The lifestyle also is part of the house : everyone is playing the game, being very silent and respectful, sharing a very nice traditionnal kitchen. The house may miss one more shower but it still works. I totally recommand the experience !!"

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"There was a woman with glasses who seemed a bit sarcastic and unfriendly towards Chinese guests. When she asked for my name, she stared at me expressionlessly while typing it in. I've never encountered such service attitude in hotels in Kyoto, Wakayama, Osaka, or Kobe. She also assigned me a room near the vertical elevator, which had the worst view and natural light, even though there were so many other rooms available. The breakfast was quite good, and the hygiene and facilities were fine. Chinese travelers should be cautious when choosing this place."

"Absolutely loved this hotel! I wish I could have stayed a couple more days, but Nara is quite small with not much else to do. The value for money is incredible, it's very new, and the location is great too. This is definitely the top choice for anyone visiting Nara!"
