The location is excellent and the exterior of the hotel is ok but the inside of the hotel is worn and tired and in desperate need of renovation - particularly for the very high price. Staff friendly but inflexible and mediocre service. Giving The Shining vibes. Not recommended.

Nara Hotel was all the amazing I hoped it was when I made the reservation. I love that place! Not sure I would make that Trek again from the middle of USA, but I highly recommend for those seeking a traditional Japan stay.

We loved the whole atmosphere, the dusty Grandeur. Its like dipping into a different time. Be aware to dress appropriately for dinner. Most of the guests are Japanese.

10/10

This was an amazing base for us in Nara, with 5 start service. Being able to rent e-bikes at the hotel and having the hotel be able to arrange a sightseeing taxi for us were just some of the perks. It is a small walk into town or the park, but all in all very centrally located. Some reviews mentioned road noise, so we stayed in the "new" section, but it is hard to imagine it being noisy anywhere. It is a very peaceful location.
