As you step into Nara hotel you'll be welcome by a colonial atmosphere. Time seems to be stopped at the early 900, when travelers were actually wealthy explorers. Everything has stayed untouched, as well as the impressive staff courtesy and service. The hotel is in a beautiful location, just 5 mins walking from the deer park. Prices are fair. Bathrooms...

We took two rooms in April 12. We were at first offered two smoking rooms in the New Wing, in spite of pre-booking non-smoking rooms some weeks before. We were then offered two rooms in the Old Wing, with the warning "the rooms are smaller". However, in the event the rooms were excellent and plenty large enough - tastefully/quality fitted... More

This is a perfectly located hotel in Nara. Right at the beginning of the Nara park, immersed in a green surroundings, and in a walking distance from all major attractions in Nara, it's perfectly suited for exploring the city. Rooms are quite specious and very comfortable, service is impeccable and staff is very friendly. Overall, probably one of the better... More

And then he had me led to a room in the "new building" requiring an elevator that took me DOWN to level minus 4 (or... More

Booked a single (all in the new wing ) but very luckily they upgraded me to the old wing. The sense of history was fabulous. Brilliant to be able to wander over to the Deer Park early in the morning; and to see deer just outside my window in the early evening.

The hotel was built in 1904 as the first western style hotel in Nara. Its a nice place ti exoerience tRaditionl Japanese hospitality. Room is comfortable an spacious. A place to go to rest an relax but it's rather pricy. Breakfast was expensive but there was no other choices although nice cafes can be found in 15 minutes walk down... More
