Setre Naramachi Reviews

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

Wonderful location wonderful hotel. For family and couple it is very suitable hotel with wonderful service. We will visit again.

Occasionally there are deer nearby next to Nara Park. Next to Kofukuji Temple, it is a very sentimental hotel. The place is small and the design is thoughtful. The original Ailu room was too small and only had two beds. The room in the photo is an upgraded one. For the room type, there is a small balcony next to the tatami. For Japanese breakfast, the rice balls are really big and can’t be eaten completely. It is recommended to make them smaller.

The room is not very practical because it has a tatami area. Elderly and children must be careful when staying there. The shower is in the bathtub, and water splashes easily, which is very bad. The food is highly recommended and delicious. We also chose to have dinner at the hotel

A hotel booked temporarily, with dinner included, not bad There is a curtain in the room that is light-transmitting and cannot completely block the light.

We had a wonderful time. This hotel is not like the others. Starting with the check in, where an employee literally sat down with us and walked us through all the aspects of the stay. I really appreciated the time taken for that. The design of the room was special, too. Spacious and friendly. The chicken in the inner ward gave it all a very particular vibe. Staff was very attentive. The Japanese breakfast was prepared with much attention to details. The lounge, with the possibility to have drinks throughout the afternoon and evening gave the stay an overall very relaxed feeling, almost a feeling of being at home. If I come back to Nara, I would certainly choose Setre again.

Wonderful hotel with amazing amenities for the guests. The architecture and decor is tasteful and the rooms are very spacious. The staff especially Rie was excellent! Very welcoming, extremely helpful and friendly. Strongly advise to book the restaurant for diner as well. We will go back for sure.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The French cuisine and breakfast were delicious. Our room was very clean and inviting. We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Setre Naramachi!

Really cannot fault this hotel. Rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped and the whole hotel is beautifully designed, around an inner courtyard garden with resident chickens. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene. Inclusive drinks and snacks are a nice touch and dinner (a sort of Japanese / Western fine dining hybrid) was excellent. Breakfast (traditional Japanese) also superb. The staff are very friendly and helpful although maybe don’t speak as much English as at larger hotels. This was never a problem though. It is walking distance from Nara park and most of the main sites and is sited on the banks of a beautiful lake. With the yen currently weak, it also represents exceptional value. If I return to Nara, I would not stay anywhere else. Genuinely superb.

Good service. free launge with good quality. Free morning tour.

It’s such a serene place and a thoughtful hotel. Staying there felt like a spa/escape day in my solo week travel I’m Japan. The deer park, the viral mochi kiosk, the pagoda was all walkable but the free AM walking tour provided by the hotel, the afternoon/evening snack bars, the soft wood foot den was just all relaxing and so worth it. My birthday (which I never disclosed) was just a couple days earlier but for my dinner course they made sure to still acknowledge it with a cake. Wish I stayed longer.

Perfect service with perfect rooms and great food, will definitely come back again

Nice

The rice balls for breakfast were delicious. They weren't rice balls, but had a very rice ball-like texture.
