4-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

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.

Hygiene: Yellow stains that had not been cleaned were found on the toilet Environment: Halfway up Mount Wakakusa, isolated from the outside noise. The overall design style is modern Japanese. If you want to experience pure Japanese living, you should pay attention to the difference Service: The service is still worthy of praise. The driver and front desk staff are very enthusiastic. They helped arrange the car to go up the mountain in the morning. It was very lucky to see 👀 deer🦌 on a rainy day Food: Most of the food arranged is made from local ingredients in Nara. The ingredients are not gorgeous, the taste is OK, and it is more down-to-earth

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!

Loved the hotel!! It’s in the center of nara city It’s 5 mins walk to the nara shopping area, 5mins walk to the nara park there is deer walking around the hotel in the morning There is free morning city walk tour at 7:00-8:00 with local guide; the bicycle is free The view of the pond is nice the service is great!! 5stars to everything The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable They have drink lounge for free use with unlimited snacks; fruit juice, sake, beer, wine from 15:00pm-2:00am Really recommend everyone that travels to nara city to stay at this hotel!! The only downside of this hotel is the breakfast only provides japanese style food ; grill fish and onigiri The onigiri is huge, grill fish and miso soup is cold I wish they can make the onigiri smaller so We can taste more flavors And hope that they can provide a bakery corner for people who doesn’t like to eat fish Otherwise we loved the hotel and want to go Back again!! Ps: there is not parking space so we need to park at the coin parking costs us 2400¥ /night

It’s a perfect stay  The hotel located next to JR Nara station in which is connected by a bridge for 2/3 minutes walk. In Nara station, there are many restaurants and a supermarket in which is very convenient. The hotel room is modern and cozy. The room size is ok (18sqm). Thanks for the layout together with the king size bed. It’s very comfortable. The breakfast is a big surprise with very good taste in variety of food. Together with like the fine dining display, I enjoyed it a lot. There is a small gym in which is a merit as not much Japanese business hotel have it. A self service laundry also provided. Another free self locker for free store of luggage till overnight provide another flexibility of your travel plan.  In addition, there is a convenient right downstairs of the building provide another convenience. All in all, it’s out of my expectations. I expect it’s a normal business hotel but as a frequent traveler, I feel like stay in a 4 stars + hotel.  There is no doubt to return in case if I come back to Nara

Overall, my stay was just average. The front desk staff were not very friendly and lacked basic courtesy, which left a poor impression. The room cleanliness also needs improvement — there were visible stains on the sofa, and the blanket had an unpleasant odor, suggesting it might not have been properly cleaned. Even more disappointing, the disposable slippers seemed to have been used before, which is unacceptable. That said, everything else was fine. The hotel is still one of the better options in this small town, with a convenient location and decent facilities. The rooftop spa is a nice feature — it’s clean and offers a great view. If the staff attitude and room hygiene can be improved, this place has the potential to become an excellent hotel.

The food was delicious, the room was lovely, and the hot springs were wonderful. You have to walk through a courtyard to get to the dining area, which is very pleasant on a sunny day. They also offer a short car ride to and from the restaurant. The food was surprisingly delicious for a traditional Japanese inn. The only things I didn't need were the expensive smoothie and drinking yogurt that you order for an extra charge at breakfast. Other than that, the service was excellent, and I was very satisfied. I would like to visit again.

The hotel's location is decent, not far from Nara Park and other attractions. There were so many tourists from all over the world feeding the deer, probably hundreds of them. There's also a 'national treasure palace' that's under 'renovation' for 16 years. The hotel breakfast was alright. The public bath didn't have a cold plunge pool or a sauna, and it cost 150 yen. We weren't given the special key card for the public bath during check-in, so we only found out we couldn't get in when we arrived there. I personally feel like it's a bit discriminatory...

The location is excellent, right around the corner from Kintetsu Nara Station. It's also a short walk to Nara Park. The hotel service is top-notch. The room is small but fully equipped, clean, and tidy. The toiletries are from Pola, which are of high quality. We spent all day sightseeing and were exhausted, but we slept wonderfully and woke up feeling completely refreshed.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean, and I really liked the pajamas supplied by the hotel. The lounge was really welcoming, and I liked that you could get hot or iced coffee at any time of day there. The tea selection was also extensive. I also really liked the public bath in the basement. After a day of walking in the winter, nothing beats a soak in the hot pool. Staff was always friendly and greeted me every time I came back or left the hotel. The location is also excellent, with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as the entrance to Nara Park!
