APA Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, delicious breakfast. Bed took up most of the room. Centrally located near park, shops, and restaurants."

SUPER HOTEL Premier JR Nara Station

8/10 Good

"Fantastic breakfast including fresh breads and Japanese hot dishes. Homemade fresh local tofu. Many organic foods. Close to station and shops and restaurants. Great view of Nara City at night during the happy hour or morning during breakfast. Basic pillow was traditional Japanese pillow filled with beans or grain. Other softer pillows were available from the front reception area. The hotel is working hard to reduce/eliminate carbon footprint. As a traveler with small luggage at the end of our journey, loved that the hotel had a clothing donation area in the lobby with donations going to support medicine needs overseas."

Nara Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of a handful of classy historic hotels near major rural attractions in Japan. A real old fashioned high-end style and treatment that makes you think you're in the 1930s. The location is convenient to the Nara Park where the historic attractions are located. It is not in walking distance of either train station."
