4-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

Pretty new and clean, just 3 mins walk from JR west exit. Spacious resting and changing area for public bath so comparatively the pool seems not big enough.

Very Friendly staff Very strict on the timing of ”checking in”: Even though we arrived 245pm, they ask us to come back at 3pm for check in, but they offer to keep our luggages for us FOC. Free Soba noodle at 930pm was tasty morning breakfast was excellent

It was a steal luxury at this hotel during our stay! Looks lush with elegance, the room was bigger than ordinary Japan hotel room and the receptionists spoke perfect English which is not usual in Japan. We got a great offer to shop the nara deer toy at a local shop thanks to the hotel stay. The hotel restaurant offers nice breakfast choice at a reasonable price and we saw it was packed during dinner time too. It is close to both Kintetsu Nara Station and Nara Park. And only 10min walk to Jr Nara Station. Don't forget to enjoy the complementary options of various tea and plum drinks next to the reception

The hotel had no staff, a dinosaur or an anime character will speak to you for check in and check out..haha. You just scan your passport and enter some basic information, then you can get the room key. The room size is great for 2 people and all suitcases could be fully opened. If you want to store your luggage after check out, also need to press and pay at the store luggage machine by yourself. That was good for teenagers or adults for staying. If elderly, which not familiar for electric device, not recommend for staying.

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 very new hotel near Yamato-Yagi Station. The front desk is very welcoming and the room is very clean. The breakfast is average. There is a barbecue restaurant near the station that is really cheap and tasty. The local beef in Nara is so delicious that it melts in your mouth. It is also very convenient to go to the surrounding attractions

not bad! Although the room design is a bit old-school and the facilities are a bit old, they are quite clean and the staff are very polite! And we stayed in a 6-person room with 6 beds ~ not many hotels have this option!

This is a superb hotel and I rate it so highly that I took the initiative to write a review here. First of all, the location is superb, just behind Xingfu Temple, you can reach it by the stairs. There are often deer by the pond next to the hotel, which can be seen in the room (I booked two rooms and I can see them by opening the window). If you want to go to various attractions, you can walk for three to five minutes. If you want to eat at the restaurant where locals eat every day, it is even more convenient. The food is good and cheap and very authentic, which is completely different from the scenic spot. Secondly, the whole hotel is at the junction of residential areas and scenic spots. Both the surrounding environment and the hotel itself are quite quiet, and I suspect that I was the only traveler in the hotel for these two nights. I really don’t understand why others don’t choose it; thirdly, maybe because there were really no guests, the hygiene was very good. I saw other comments saying that the quilt was very cold at night. This hotel has heating, and the quilt cover is indeed very slippery, but the heating is turned on so that we don’t need to cover the quilt at all... There is a large bathhouse on the underground first floor, which is very clean and empty, so I have it all to myself... Finally, thank you for specially arranging to upgrade the two best rooms in the hotel because of my birthday, and also preparing birthday gifts for me. After checking out, they also prepared handwritten birthday cards and candies, which I have never encountered in five-star hotels. I highly recommend everyone to stay in this hotel. If I come to Nara again in the future, I will continue to choose this hotel.

A typical Japanese inn, 5 minutes from Kintetsu Station and 10 minutes from Todaiji Temple. There is a lake in front of the hotel, which is pleasing to the eye. The room is also quite spacious. It's a pity that the viewing terrace is not open in winter. The Yakushi Pagoda is under renovation recently, which means that the characteristic landscape is not used, which is a pity. The service staff are very enthusiastic, and reservations must be made in advance for dining in the hotel.

This hotel is located on Mount Wakakusa in Nara. The location is a bit remote, but the scenery is really great, especially in the early morning, when you see the entire Nara city shrouded in mist, it is super beautiful. The room is a traditional Japanese tatami room, which is quite comfortable but not too luxurious. The hot spring is open-air, so you can soak in it while looking at the mountain view, which is really relaxing. However, the hot spring pool is not big and may be a bit crowded if there are many people. Dinner was kaiseki, and the portion was a bit too much for us. Generally speaking, this place is suitable for people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and relax. Just be mentally prepared. This place is quite quiet and there are not many entertainment facilities. The focus is on relaxation.

Needless to say, it was clean. The bed was big enough to accommodate two adults and one child. The dinner was impressive. I experienced an unprecedented Japanese kaiseki cuisine. From the selection of ingredients to the presentation of the dishes, the chef's love for Japanese cuisine and his recognition of local ingredients were revealed. He was really rigorous and serious about it. Although my aesthetic taste for top Japanese food has not reached a high level of taste appreciation, I have to admit that the craftsmanship spirit was brought to the extreme by the hotel chef. The standard of breakfast was also very high, including the hotel, service, and private soup at night. If it hadn't rained and I couldn't see the starry sky, this trip to Ando would have been perfect. I hope I can see the brilliant Milky Way next time I go there.

A very new hotel near Yamato-Yagi Station. The front desk is very welcoming and the room is very clean. The breakfast is average. There is a barbecue restaurant near the station that is really cheap and tasty. The local beef in Nara is so delicious that it melts in your mouth. It is also very convenient to go to the surrounding attractions

The hotel is right next to the attractions of Zhulinyuan. During the cherry blossom season, there are traffic restrictions and you have to climb a slope after getting off the bus, about 50 steps. If you have too much luggage, you can notify the hotel in advance to pick it up. The view from the hotel is amazing! !! !! There is a large cherry tree outside the window, which is too beautiful! !! Both dinner and breakfast were hearty! Because it is an old Japanese-style hotel, our room has no private bathroom and only a washstand, but there are no people in the public bathroom, which does not affect the experience. The public bathroom is clean and can be used for soup. Sound insulation.

A small Japanese-style hotel hidden in the mountains of Nara Prefecture, no matter where you come from, you can find the same feeling of home here. It can be comparable to the kaiseki cuisine of Michelin restaurants, so that you can taste the Japanese food that is completely different from the previous impression. After the cooking director carefully developed and according to the season, The food made by the guests' tastes is amazing! 👍👍👍 The hotel also has translations for guests from different countries, and the translation and communication levels are professional! Guests can also visit the crafts workshops in the villages around the hotel. Every craftsman and their craftsman spirit is awesome! The village is surrounded by a large area of original fir trees. If you have the strength, you can also go close to nature, explore the monasteries and waterfalls. In short, I am very happy to stay, I hope that in different seasons we can go to the field Neold Hotel to have a different style! .
