This was an amazing base for us in Nara, with 5 start service. Being able to rent e-bikes at the hotel and having the hotel be able to arrange a sightseeing taxi for us were just some of the perks. It is a small walk into town or the park, but all in all very centrally located. Some reviews mentioned road noise, so we stayed in the "new" section, but it is hard to imagine it being noisy anywhere. It is a very peaceful location.

The Nara Hotel far exceeded our expectations. The room was comfortable and spacious. The service was friendly and impeccable. The hotel itself is so interesting and beautiful. The setting couldn't be better. Nestled in a wooded area and yet walking distance to the many sights, restaurants, and natural wildlife (gentle deer all around).
