This is a remarkable historical property. The view from our room was outstanding. The cherry blossoms outside the tea room/bar were breathtaking. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable stay. The food in all three restaurants was great. Keep in mind this hotel’s design is not the current grey and white chic. The style is from another era and that is what is so lovely about it.

A lovely old hotel with lots of history. Probably our favourite stay during our Japan trip. In the old wing the walls are a bit thin so soundproofing is not perfect but that's the price you pay for the hotel's history and character. Wonderful breakfasts and impeccable service.

Stayed in a traditional Japanese room. Very comfortable. Breakfast was included, we picked the Japanese breakfast, and it was delicious. The only downsides were that you had to pick a time before 7 PM to have your futons set out, and you had to pick breakfast times at check in.

This hotel is absolutely wonderful! Beautiful hotel with the kindest staff. The breakfast is absolutely delicious. The grounds surrounding the hotel are beautiful and peaceful. Nara Deer park is just a few steps away. They have a bus that will pick you up at the train station and take you to the hotel. This bus will also take you to the shopping district and pick you up again. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed. I highly reccomend this historic hotel and we plan to come back and stay again in the future.

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.

The standard rooms are a little dated and the bathroom is very small with no counter space. We had to upgrade to a suite ahich was very good but expensive! The restaurant food was OK but nothing really special, even though the staff do try to cooy western style. The hotel staff were superbly helpful in every way to accomodate our needs. Fairly close to Nara Park although when were there in August it was too hot to do much walking. Useful shuttle to both Nara stations. Overall, a very traditional Japanese hotel with fairly rigid standards, good service but expensive.
