Family-friendly 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.

The hotel is next to JR Nara Station, and there are buses to Nara Park and Todaiji Temple. The transportation is very convenient. There are 2 hot spring pools, one of which can be ventilated outdoors, and the feeling is also good. The most important thing is that the price is affordable. If you come to Nara, it is worth staying. The triple room has upper and lower bunks, and there is enough space. There are also many izakayas near the train station hotel. In addition, you can drink for free in the hotel bar before 21:00, and you can even buy octopus balls downstairs and bring them up to eat. (The hotel welcomes food)

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

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.

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.

A very traditional Japanese room, the tatami is very comfortable to sleep on. There is a shower room and toilet on the first floor of the hotel. Although they are public, they are all quite good. The hotel is made of wood, and the corridors are very hot in summer. The room can be air-conditioned, but it is generally good.

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.
