It's ok

The hotel is in a good location for the principal attractions of Nara. I was very impressed by the size of the hotel. I believe there are better options for a lower price.

We stayed in one of the traditional rooms and it was lovely; Old Japan décor of the Meiji era, but with all the mod cons. Wonderful atmosphere in the common areas. Excellent staff. Perfect end to our three weeks in Japan.

My family have been staying at the Nara Hotel for 3 generations. I have finally experienced it for myself as an adult and was not disappointed. The property is stunning and steeped in history. The location is perfect for enjoying Nara park and Sanjo-dori. The staff are kind, the amenities are generous and high qualities and the beds are cloud-like. Please note the hotel is a historical property and should be respected as such. Loud noises are not welcomed and obviously there is no smoking. I think thats very reasonable considering this isn't an average modern hotel.
