"This hotel was in a great location for trains, buses and taxi to explore all of Nara! The Onsen was an awesome experience and the bed was sooooo comfortable we had the best sleep of our entire trip here. The massage chairs and free ramen were a nice touch as well"

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favourite place we stayed on our trip so far. It was so quiet and peaceful both in the hostel and the neighbourhood. It’s about a 20 minute walk to get to Nara Park and you’re likely to run into some deer on your way there as they tend to come right into town in addition to hanging in the park. There are laundry facilities and a smoking area in the back garden. Rice porridge is served each morning and there are free and paid beverages available. There was no staff on site due to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, but the autonomous luggage storage and check-in instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be returning in the future!"

Hotel Nara Sakurai No Sato

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, amazing hotel - the rooms were clean, well appointed - live the bathrooms setup - bed super comfortable. We ordered breakfast for the second night - yummy Japanese meal set. This was our favorite hotel in our stay, well appointed hope to return. You need a car because it is remote from public transport, plenty of free parking at the same level as hotel. The staff was wonderful! This place is well worth a journey!"

Hotel Nikko Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location & high quality service. I only wish they open their restaurant a little longer!"
