Nara Hotels with Bars

"Hotel is new, room and facilities are fantastic. View from the roof terrace is great! Also thankful for the free shuttle bus to the train station. We have the dinner and breakfast package. Restaurant seems under staffed. We have to wait for empty plates to be replenised in buffet area. During breakfast time, there is long queue for food and often empty plates."

"During our stay, we encountered the Yama Festival at Mt. Wakakusa in Nara. The hotel provided a shuttle bus for guests staying that day to go down the mountain to watch the festival. They also distributed warm packs to guests before departure, which was a very thoughtful arrangement. The hotel is located halfway up the mountain and overlooks the entire city of Nara, with beautiful scenery. "

"Although it's a hotel on the outskirts, it's a quiet hotel with perfect restaurants and services inside. It's just too far from downtown."

"My best appraise is for the services in both of reception and restaurant, especially the staffs from Nepal and Max from Indonesia. Many thanks for the sincere service and patience to my naughty boy, he missed you a lot and he promised to come again next year to see you then. For me, the soundproofing effectiveness is really not friendly, I woke up by the car noises outside many time in the nite😭"

"A question to think about, ‘What makes a hotel a luxury one?’ To me, it’s luxury because of the hospitality of the staff, quality of the property and the food they provided totally exceed travellers’ expectations, and as a result, we would love to pay more for the experience. Some staff really tried their very best to help me during my stay while some just didn’t. Upon arrival, I tried to communicate with the staff that I’d like to cancel my third night’s dinner because of the change of my plan. At first, I booked six meals in total and I’d only want to cancel one dinner and they said I needed to pay 100% for the cancelled meal because they have already bought the ingredients. Okay, I tried to understand that because they had already taken away my credit card and there’s nothing I could do about that and I thought it must be a very nice meal and that’s why they insisted that. Disappointingly, the portion was so small and paying the same amount of money I could get so much better food in 虹夕諾雅 or any other five star onsen hotels in Japan. As a result, I went to bed feeling hungry and eating the snacks I bought for myself :( The food portions are like a bento instead of a proper meal. ) Also, the Western style breakfast was so overpriced and the avocado in the omelette was not fresh at all. One more thing to note is that the complimentary champagne service they provided to their guests. It’s a nice experience but maybe I’m just a lady travelling alone and I couldn’t speak Japanese at all, the waitress didn’t serve me the same way as she served other people in the cafe. When all of them got two glasses of free drinks, one cocktail and one champagne, she only gave me one champagne and didn’t offer me the cocktail. And the day after, there was a nice staff who served me properly and I finally realized that I am entitled to two drinks. (Sigh)The experience was like buying a Chanel bag. The bag was pricey but the chain of the bag just suddenly fall apart while you are using it for the very first time. My advice is: Don’t use their catering services especially for the in-room dining plan. There are so many better choices out there in the city. The room and the service of the staff are great tho."

"The first time I experienced a youth hostel, the bed type was the upper and lower bunks. I was lucky to be assigned to the upper bunks. After all, if I want to get out of bed, it will affect the lower bunks. The hotel staff is still kind, the part that excludes waiting in line for a bath and there is a distance from JR Nara. Others are not bad. After all, it is a youth travel. People who are afraid of noisy and need independent space think twice."

"This got to be one of the best rappers i had ever been to, (besides a few really high end resort in Bali). This resort service is impeccable. The kaiseki dinner is really delicious. The Garden is so well curated that it can compete with some of the shrine garden. And last but not least the onsen is truly relaxing and beautiful. One tip, is it place the herbal pack into the onsen early. It takes 6 hours for it to fully diffuse into the onsen."

"一泊二日3家族８人で利用したがとてもゆったりと利用出来てよかった。トイレも一階と2階の2ヶ所にあり困ることがなく使用できた。2階の4部屋にダブル(キング？)サイズのベッドが2台ずつあり、８人それぞれが贅沢に一台ずつ利用できて最高だった。寝具ぬななも心地よかった。パジャマの記載がなかったが作務衣風のものが用意してあった。ヘアアイロンはリファのものがカール用、ストレート用と 2台もあり嬉しかった。冷蔵庫にはミネラルウォーターが 4本、日本酒1合サイズが2本、同サイズの焼酎？が一本、炭酸ジュース2本あり、茶菓子の用意もあった。８人なのに7個しかお菓子がなかったのは残念だった。コーヒー、紅茶、お茶、砂糖あり。コーヒー用のミルクはない。コーヒーはカセットをセットするタイプのサーバー。他に電子レンジ、オーブントースター、湯沸かし器、炊飯器がある。台所には最低限のキッチンアイテムが揃っている。グラス類がプラスチック製でくもり傷があるのが少し気になった。手拭き用のタオルがあるとよかった。(洗面所にはあり) 台所続きの、リビングにゆったりとしたソファー、大画面のTV、Switchがある。使い捨てスリッパもタオル生地のふわふわ感がありきめちよかった。照明は間接的なものが多く、暗め。2階の各部屋にゴミ箱が欲しかった。浴室はサウナや水風呂専用の浴槽もあり、整うためのロッキングチェアも2台ある。シャワーも大浴場に二箇所、洗濯室のトイレ横にもう一箇所ガラス張りのシャワーブースがある。アメニティも充実している。お風呂で残念だった点が一つ、同時に水道を利用すると水圧が格段に悪くなる。サウナは大人３人が同時に入れる広さ。サウナマットも用意されている。　前日まで電話連絡がとれていたが、当日は全く繋がらず焦った。後で玄関に連絡専用のアイテムが木箱に入っていたが、このシステムはどうなんだろう。。 玄関にビニール傘の用意があったが人数分はなかった。けど、予想外の雨が降り助かった。ならまち界隈や東大寺など観光地にも徒歩圏内で立地は良いと思う。12時に荷物を預けることが出来て助かった。チェックインも同時に出来たら言うことなしでしたが…。電話での対応、清掃の方、みなさんお優しかったです。 総合的には大満足でした。あともう一泊したいくらいでした。"

"A hotel full of history as it has been the chosen venue for important events in Nara. Many celebrities had stayed in this hotel including Albert Einstein. Tried the rice lager at the tea house which is very good tgough some may find it not strong enough. The vicinity is nice. It is within waljing distance of the famous Nara Park. The room is spacious. Shuttle bus service to Nara station is excellent. Very helpful staff. An enjoyable stay indeed!"
