Give this one a miss

A drab and beige hotel, with mediocre to bad food and completely non-English speaking staff. Good location but that’s literally all that it has going for it. Way too expensive for what it offers. Would not stay there again.

Clean small hotel in Nara

It's a new hotel in front of JR Nara Station (in a secondary street), so has many local bus lines. The hotel is very clean and spacious. Like most Japanese hotel, it provides a small spa too.

Location of this hotel couldn't be better: just steps away from Nara JR station. The staff were friendly and accommodating, although their English skills are not particularly strong. The breakfast buffet was good (though very much to a Japanese palate), the room was clean, and check in and out was quick and easy. The biggest surprise is that while I made a reservation for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child), the room had one double bed! Needless to say it was a very tight squeeze for all of us, and there is no way a cot could've been added to the room. We were also somewhat shocked to see that people with tattoos would be asked not to use the sento (public bath/spa). It seems a rather outdated rule in 2018, particularly if being open to an international clientele. That said, I'd stay there again, but would definitely ensure we booked a larger room.
