Top 5-Star Hotels in Nara

Exceeded expections on all grounds! I am so happy with the hotel I wanted to spread the word. This hotel has great old world charm and more. I was a little worried about the condition of the hotel (more than 100 years old!) but everything was fine. I stayed at the Main Wing / basic room with park view. The bathroom was basic (business hotel like) but very clean, but the room / bedding and the view at our window was wonderful. Given the low price point, we were very happy with the room. Definitely recommend the Main Wing, and if you can, a room with higher price point. All staff, from shuttle bus / concierge / front desk / bar, are excellent. We really enjoyed the check in process - you can sit at the lounge admiring Einstein's piano while the front staff comes calling your name. Also try the tea lounge both during the day and night (turns to a bar). I would also like to extend special thanks to Korean speaking front manager Lee Su Jin who helped us in so many ways. She really made our stay comfortable. One thing to note about Nara city itself is that most venues close at 4pm and have unpredictable operating hours. You can't just walk around hoping to sit down at a cafe or restaurant. Highly recommend making reservations in advance of your trip and I'm sure Nara hotel concierge can help with this. I really enjoyed Nara Hotel and look really forward to returning.

10 seconds walk from JR Nara Station. It's okay even if it rains. Hotel check-in is on the 3rd floor. The bathhouse on the 6th floor is free. Free drinks on the 3rd floor. Breakfast shows the pride of the hotel. Very delicious.

The room is very clean and comfortable, with consistent JW Marriott quality service. It is located next to the Convention Center. There is a parking lot for self-driving tours, and bicycles can be borrowed for exploring the attractions in the area.

The hotel has a very Japanese style, the design is very beautiful, the stay was very comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The reception staff were very considerate from check-in to check-out. It is recommended to check in early to enjoy the hotel service and atmosphere. If you are walking from Kintetsu Nara Station to the hotel while pushing your luggage, there is a section of rough road that may make it difficult to push your luggage. You may consider taking a taxi, which takes about 5 minutes. The hotel is very close to Todaiji Temple, Nara Park, and Nara Museum, and it is very convenient to go to attractions.

Room is comfy, super clean. Love their onsen which is decent after long day tour. It’s just few minutes away from the station. Parking slot also available. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. They are really patience to explain us all the details. Thank you for all the travel tips

Fantastic Hotel with a perfectly convenient location. The only thing is the bad attitude of a female manager at the front desk. We asked for more bottled water, but she refused. Refusing is OK, but she thought we didn't understand Japanese and said some bad words to us. Unfortunately, we are just not fluent in Japanese, but we can totally understand what she was saying. A pathetic woman manager ruined other staff's good service and hard work.

A small hotel, right next to Kintetsu Nara Station, not too close, with Nara Park behind it. The lobby is small, but drinks are free, I have to drink several times a day. It is an old building, well maintained. Except that you can't order private soup, there is nothing wrong with it. The staff is also very professional and efficient. I was given a room in the middle of the top floor. The location should be the best. P.S. The breakfast is very exquisite. I didn't order dinner. Next to the hotel is the station restaurant street, which has all kinds of food.

The location is quite far from JR Nara Station and Todaiji, the core of Nara travel, but Kintetsu Railway Shin-Omiya Station is a 10-minute walk away and Heijogu Historical Park is close. Bicycles are also available for rent, but there is a fee and there are no electric bicycles. Hot springs available in the spa’s main bath. The breakfast was good, the lobby was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. However, please pay more attention to room cleaning.

Room was small probably because of the extra sofa bed but it was very convenient and clean. Great location. Close to Nara park and the station. The restaurant is also very nice.

Location：2 minutes walking distance from the station to the hotel-perfect！The front entrance has a beautifully designed layout. Cleanness: The hotel maintains an exceptional level of cleanliness, and a comfortable and hygienic environment. Service: The front desk's English is excellent, much better than most I've encountered in Tokyo and Osaka. The instructions are clear and well-explained. Facilities: Everything from the room to the dining options was exceptional, making my stay very enjoyable. The Japanese-style room made my stay cozy and relaxing. Overall: I would give 10 out 10 and recommend it to every one.
