The staff is always friendly and super helpful. Accommodating is an understatement to describe this inn. The rooms are so clean and beautiful.

You could have thrown someone out and let me have a second night.

Nara VC and Inn is ideally located -- close to the center of town and happenings but just far enough away to avoid the noise (tourist noise); I had a wonderful view of the park, pond and the skyline beyond -- obviously did not close curtains all night. Room large and comfortable.

We loved everything about our stay at this property.

We spent one night in the traditional Japanese style room as a family of four including a toddler and a baby and we had a fantastic time. We loved the view from our window and we enjoyed experiencing sleeping on the futon beds. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They let us check in slightly early, provided a baby futon for free, helped us order food in the evening and clarified cultural questions we had. There are common kitchens with microwave and stove and we rented kitchen equipment for free from the reception. Also there's a supermarket in the basement with an adjacent eating area for hotel guests only which was very convenient for us. It was overall very comfortable and the highlight of our Japan travel so far and for a very good price. We highly recommend staying here to any other family and wish to come back some time.

The room is very clean, comfy with a great view! The location is PERFECT, right next of Nara park, walking distance to the main attractions, surrounded by shopping area and lots of restaurants. Our room is facing the Three story pagoda, on the balcony the view is just what I expected, in the morning you can heard bells from Kofuku-ji temple, its so peaceful, so enjoyable. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10!!

The location is very convenient. The vue from the room was incredible and the room (japanese style) was very nice. There is a private "onsen". You can try various activities.

I got the Japanese style room which was amazing! Room was spacious and was equipped with everything I need. The location is the best, close to the station and all the attractions.

Very clean and spacious rooms for the price with excellent location. Some rooms even have view of the pagoda. Make sure to ask for one as they get booked pretty soon. The Inn is right opposite Nara Park and close to all sightseeing places in Nara. But still away from the commercialised area. Very beautiful and quiet in the morning and the evening when all day trippers have left. The staff speaks English and are very helpful. They even helped us book vegetarian izakaya which was a huge hit.

The view from our room over the lake was wonderful. The room was a very good size and the futons comfortable. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Very nice, spacious and clean room, perfect locarion and amazing people working there. We enjoyed origami and caligrapjy workshops a lot. Such a great place for travelers with kids. We loved our stay there! :-)

There was nothing to dislike! We were comfortable and content for 5 days. Just other guests being loud when really common sense would say to be quieter was the only issue. Voices travel easily in Japanese accomodations, so hearing an argument or loud Mediterranean discussions did get annoying.

The room was huge, a family could comfortably stay for multiple nights (2 double beds and a fold out sofa). There was even a large kitchen for budget travellers. A konbini, 2 washing machines (¥300) and dryers (¥100) even a communal bath in the basement -if you haven’t used one on your trip it gives you an idea. The bathroom was clean and the tub regular size with great hot water. My daughter and I felt very safe here and she really enjoyed making origami with the staff. We used it as a base to explore beautiful Nara prefecture. The Kintetsu station was an easy walk from here. I loved waking up to our view every morning.

Everything was fantastic and exceeded my expectations!

This is the best place you can stay at for the price, I can assure you. The rooms are clean and comfortable. So is the bathroom, shower, etc. The location is fantastic, you can walk everywhere in Nara: The Park and Temples, the Naramachi district, the train station... The staff is amazingly nice and kind, you can tell they like their job and they enjoy dealing with travellers. I had the chance to meet Mrs Gao in the Reception Desk, and she was absolutely marvellous!!! I want to thank her again and again for her attention and kindness. I will 100% stay here again if I am back in Nara.

An extra pillow per person would have been nice but given the nature of the accommodation we understand why there weren’t extra pillows.

Our twin room with sofa bed at Nara Visitor Centre and Inn wasn’t fancy but it was clean, comfortable, spacious and well priced for a two night stay. Our room had an excellent view (issued to those that book first) which helped make our visit particularly memorable. We loved the location which was quiet, near Nara Park and not too far to walk to the restaurants, shops and both train stations. We would certainly like to stay again if we return.

The room is very big and the view of the pagoda is fantastic

The sento wasn’t quite hot enough for me, but you can add more hot water which is great.

Relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff Perfect location! There’s a space outside for children to exert some energy. We were fortunate enough to get a beautiful view of the pagoda. But even if we weren’t on that side of the building there is still a decent view on the other side. There are kitchens free to use. The sento is very nice and has a little view.
