Iroha Grand Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae ★★★★

"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."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

"I liked the friendliness and professionalism of the staff! I find them very helpful and kind! I like the onsen, massage chair, ice cream and breakfast. I lived in the room facing the train tracks. The sound proof windows do a good job blocking the sound. The entrance is separated by 2 doors, so I didn’t hear much from the hallway. Very private."

LOCO minami-ichi ★★★

"The room was clean, just as described. If you have a large suitcase, keeping it open might be a bit inconvenient, but for a 2-3 night stay, there's enough space to leave a smaller suitcase open and still move around comfortably. For this price, having a private toilet and shower in the room, right next to a shopping street, is simply fantastic. Check-in was easy despite it being unstaffed. There's an office a few minutes' walk away where you can store your luggage if needed. I would definitely like to stay here again."

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★

"Very close to NARA JR, nice and clean with good amenities but my automatic washer in toilet is broken. Hotel staff was friendly but not fluent in English. Good for business and travel in Nara. p.s. my friend who reserve room+breakfast said the morning buffet is good in both Japanese and Western style, might try on next visit"

Piazza Hotel Nara ★★★★

"The hotel is very good and convenient. The room is very nice and clean."

Hotel New Wakasa ★★★★

"The hotel is wonderful! Very clean, a hot onsen right in the room on the balcony, goodie bags, a very beautiful entrance hall, a beautiful view from the rooftop. I didn't like the traditional Japanese breakfast—there just wasn't enough for my taste. A European breakfast is better."

Ryokan Asukasou at the Entrancne of Nara Park ★★★★

"Hotel was about 2 mins walk from the entrance of Nara park n the shopping district. Very good location. You could either walk 1.3km to the hotel from the JR station, or take a taxi which would cost around 1200yen. About 10 mins walk from the metro station. I stayed for 2 nights with breakfast and dinner inclusive. The Ryokan did take note n served us a different menu each day. There was also a small indoor n outdoor onsen in the Ryokan. The food was superb."

HOSHINOYA Nara Prison

Nara Royal Hotel ★★★★

"Very nice place for the first time to travel in Nara, I will choice here next time."
