Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★

📍 Omiyacho 1-1-6, Nara City

"This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from the train station. It's far enough away from Nara's overly friendly deer that you don't have to worry about being bumped into or stepping in droppings. The hot springs here were our absolute favorite – so peaceful and comfortable, with friendly service. The restaurant recommendations from the front desk staff were a real treasure; every place they suggested was fantastic. Their breakfast spread was diverse and delicious, highly recommended!"

Novotel Nara ★★★★★

📍 Omiya Cho, 7 Chome-1-45 Omiyacho, Nara City

"Absolutely loved this hotel! I wish I could have stayed a couple more days, but Nara is quite small with not much else to do. The value for money is incredible, it's very new, and the location is great too. This is definitely the top choice for anyone visiting Nara!"

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

📍 1113-3 Takabatakechō, Nara City

"It was a lovely welcoming ryokwn. We had a tatami room which was spacious and delightful smelling. We used the outdoor onsen for lovely night views even with the pagoda's current work."

Piazza Hotel Nara
9.3 (709 reviews)

Piazza Hotel Nara ★★★★

📍 10-11-20 Sanjohonmachi, Nara City

"This hotel is excellent, right next to Nara Station, just a few minutes' walk to the shopping street, making dining, drinking, and shopping incredibly convenient. It's also not far from Nara Park, Todai-ji Temple, and Kasuga Taisha Shrine; you just need to walk through the shopping street to get there. The front desk staff are warm and professional, and the room facilities are very new, clean, and tidy. The breakfast is extensive, and they even had lychees! As for the price, it's absolutely fantastic value – you get four-star facilities and service for a three-star price."

Nara Park Hotel Hotels in Nara City

Nara Park Hotel

"The hotel in general is a reasonably priced hot spring inn, with good customer service and spacious rooms, but a little old. There were many small children, and it was fully booked, even though it was not a weekend. We had the 1,300-year-old gourmet cuisine "Tenpyo no Utage," which claims to be the only one of its kind in Japan. The cuisine was created with the support of archaeologists and culinary experts over five years, based on wooden tablets, pottery, and documents excavated from Heijo Palace. Including the 20 years since then, it has a tradition of 35 years. Each dish was explained to us. It was very delicious, and almost all the dishes were Michelin one-star level. However, some dishes left a disappointing impression. The daigo, a cheese-like dish made by boiling down milk, was overcooked and was dry and hard. It was much browner than the sample. The wild boar meat was too hard and had lost too much moisture. The dried figs had lost too much moisture. The other dishes, as you would expect from imperial court cuisine, were just the right firmness and very delicious. I was put off by the fact that the only drink available was white sake (shiroki: cloudy sake), even though it was apparently all-you-can-drink. The tea (not sure what kind of tea it was) that came towards the end was not tasty either, but it was easier to drink than white sake, so I wish it had been brought out sooner. Imperial court cuisine, whether Okinawan, Korean, Chinese, or French, is indescribably delicious. I would definitely recommend trying ancient Japanese imperial court cuisine. You can enjoy the ancient imperial court cuisine alone, even without staying overnight. The Tenpyo Banquet is the pinnacle of this hotel!!!"

Hotel Asyl Nara Hotels in Nara City

Hotel Asyl Nara

"This hotel is located in between the two train stations. It is on a busy road, but the sights are walkable. The room was large, and it was great to have a sitting area and space to relax. The furnishings are worn and dated. The onsen is a nice feature at the end of a long day. As were the free drinks in reception in the early evening. We enjoyed our stay."

The Deer Park Inn Hotels in Nara City

The Deer Park Inn

"There are deer at the door and Mount Wakakusa next to it. It is very close to various attractions. Although the boss does not speak the language, he is very enthusiastic and gave me a map. There is a public restaurant, toilet, and shower. The room is clean. There are deer outside the window. It's just that it's a mountain road. I was exhausted from pulling the luggage. I searched for a long time and found it on a big staircase."

Hotel New Wakasa Hotels in Nara City

Hotel New Wakasa

"Service: The service quality of the waiter was very good, as always, meticulous, and photos were sent. Environment: The room we stayed in had a sense of age But we booked the main building, but were arranged to stay in the other building. The main building and the other building are connected, and the breakfast is of the same standard, but in fact there is a price difference, and the facilities in the main building are newer. It is unknown whether the price difference was deliberately booked in the other building, or the agent made a mistake, or the hotel deliberately arranged it. People who choose to stay later need to pay attention to whether they are staying in the main building."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"This hotel is a hidden gem in Nara! It's right across the street from Nara Station. You take off your shoes as soon as you enter, and the whole place is tatami. They have hot spring baths and late-night ramen (so delicious! 😋). There's also ice cream and yogurt drinks. It really felt like the amazing service you get in Chinese hotels. Definitely consider staying here if you come to Nara!"

"The hotel's location is perfect, situated right in between three major attractions: Kasuga Grand Shrine, Mount Wakakusa, and Todai-ji Temple, making it incredibly convenient to visit all of them. The room was super new and spotlessly clean, and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was plentiful and varied. Overall, I was extremely satisfied!"

Hotel Nikko Nara ★★★★★
"This hotel exudes an old-money Japanese charm. The rooms are spacious and incredibly clean, and the lobby is grand. They offer various Nara-specific experiences. For breakfast, you can enjoy a wide array of Nara snacks right here, avoiding the crowds outside while still getting a premium experience. There's even a floor dedicated to hot springs, and you get complimentary ice cream after your soak – it's fantastic! Overall, it's a hotel with excellent value for money."

Novotel Nara ★★★★★
"Overall, my stay was quite good. The hotel has a new and modern exterior design, and facilities like the gym are very clean. The room itself was tidy and clean, the bed was comfortable, and all the amenities were well-equipped. The location is convenient, with shops and restaurants nearby, and getting around was very easy. The staff were friendly, and the check-in process was smooth. It would be even better if the price were more favorable. I would consider staying here again if I have the chance."

"Th tatami room was everything I expected and was very clean. It contained airconditioning a toilet and a bathtub which you probably won't use since the onsens are free to use. Both onsens were nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly and helpful."

Piazza Hotel Nara ★★★★
"The location is best and if you’re tired of too busy area Nara is good choice. The only small thing I want to say is the blind in the bathroom can’t cover all the window (especially right side the very next of the mirror) There is little gap but you can see the windows of the opposite site building."

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Spring ★★★★
"There was a woman with glasses who seemed a bit sarcastic and unfriendly towards Chinese guests. When she asked for my name, she stared at me expressionlessly while typing it in. I've never encountered such service attitude in hotels in Kyoto, Wakayama, Osaka, or Kobe. She also assigned me a room near the vertical elevator, which had the worst view and natural light, even though there were so many other rooms available. The breakfast was quite good, and the hygiene and facilities were fine. Chinese travelers should be cautious when choosing this place."

"This is an old-style Japanese hotel, a bit dated and generally unhygienic. The hotel is good in terms of service and is conveniently located to tourist attractions."
