Stayed here in June '06 as part of my whirlwind trip throughout Japan. This hotel is conveniently located close to the JR station in Nara. Didn't make a reservation as I was hoping it would be a simple day trip. However after walking most of the day and then dinner wound up being later than I thought. Attempted to get... More

The location was the only reason for choosing this hotel. It is situated right beside Nara JR station and most of the buses end/start their routes from here as well. There is also a grocery store in the station as well as a few restaurants like Mos Burger. The hotel itself is outdated. The rooms are small and old, but... More

It was my first time in Nara. I wanted a hotel close to the station and this hotel is directly adjacent to JR Nara station. The station itself conveniently has a mall with alot of local nice delicacies and it's proximity to the bus terminals and some of the major sites was helpful. The receptionist were also very kind and... More

Booked here for two nights as part of a holiday. Only stayed for one night due to our disappointment. Staff are excellent, which is typical of Japan. However, the first room we were given smelled stale. This was promptly changed. Rooms are small and dated considering the price. If you are holidaying and only looking at one or two days... More

We stayed here for two nights after deciding that Nara was a destination in its own right, not just a day trip from Kyoto. The location is super handy, the entrance to the hotel is on the same level as the railway platform. Despite requesting a non smoking room when booking we were allocated a room that clearly smelt of... More

I stayed in room 1051 and before in 1016. Both I would recommend to all especially 1016 if you can swing it. The staff is VERY helpful, especially the frenchman whom is a front desk supervisor, to whom I say MERCI for all his help. The one drawback would be their "office center" which needs acute attention, if you are... More

I stayed here for a conference a little while ago and I am left with the impression that while the room is tiny (understandable in a country where you can rent a tiny bed capsule), the staff were friendly, polite, efficient and helpful. The room, meeting area (common room type thing) and hotel were very clean and tidy. Also they... More

Stayed at the Hotel Nikko Nara for a conference in Nov 2011. Great staff, helpful for travelers that done speak Japanese. Great Location, connected to the JR train station with bus access to any place in the city and a easy walk to the park and shopping area. the only draw back was the size of the single room. It...

...discounting futon sleeping. And a great location for travelers - especially if you have luggage. Use the Nara JR train station (not the other Nara station) and you do not even have to go downstairs to get from train to hotel. Drop off your bags and go sightseeing. On day you leave Nara, leave the bags again, and retrieve them... More
