    Nice stay in Nikko next to Nara Station
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    The breakfast was a bit pricey (3,000 yen), especially for a vegetarian like me who cannot eat most of the offerings. So, I opted to eat breakfast outside the hotel. There are a number of cafes and restaurants near the hotel, and so it was not a problem.

    The hotel is literally a few feet from the Nara station exit and it was easy to find the sign to go to the 3rd floor lobby of the hotel. There is also a big supermarket right next to the hotel and across from the Nara station, and the Tourist Information Center is right next to the supermarket. The Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and the other attractions are within walking distance from the hotel and through a lively shopping street. The bus stops are also right in front of the station. The room was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The amenities provided in the room, including a hot water kettle, fridge, and a yukata for using the public bath (if one is interested) were very good. One of the nice things I noticed in the hotel was the self-storage lockers for storing luggage near the reception desk either before or after check-in. The reception staff was also able to provide me with a tourist map. The hotel lobby also had free coffee in the morning, which was nice. If I were to visit Nara again, I would definitely stay in this hotel.

    Everything was perfect.

    It's just steps away from the train station, convenient entrance on the 2nd floor. We arrived late night, speed check-in process, breakfast was great, staff friendly and helpful. The day that we skipped the cleaning service it was provided anyways a bag with all supplies needed. We ordered extra pillows and it was all great.

    Great location right by Nara station, so an easy 3-minute walk with luggage into the hotel. Also, very simple to walk to all the sites if you wish. Otherwise, the bus station is next door. Wonderful staff and we liked the complementary lounge with wine and sake. Breakfast buffet was exceptional too.

    everything was more than fine, so there's nothing to add.

    The room was very clean and, as for the amenities, were fully provided. On the 6th floor it has the Japanese dai-yokujo (huge baths, devided by gender). Best location possible, as, once you arrive at Nara and get off the train, it's on the same level of the train station: you. can drop the luggages and start your sightseeing. It provides different restaurants, such as the Japanese Teppanyaki, where the ingredients were supreme, including the wagyu (tried this food exp).

    Nothing.

    Everything! Hotel is right outside of the Nara Station, very close to the bus stops and tourists information center. There are a lot of restaurants nearby. Nara Park is 20 minutes by walk along the main shopping street. Very very convenient! Hotel has a nice natural hot spring and offers unlimited free drinks of Japanese sake, wine, beer, tea and coffee, unbelievable. Room is big, ckean and comfortable.

    Breakfast was until 09:30 and although people who arrived around 09:30 were accepted, the personnel started cleaning a bit early I think (09:15 or something) which Made us feel a bit hasty. Having said that, they were very patient and helpful with our small children at breakfast.

    The hotel was beautiful with a very chic lobby and elevators etc. Room was spacious and nice, comfortable beds (except for the third bed of our son which was quite hard). Great warm shower and spacious bathroom area. Breakfast was just fantastic! Personnel was very friendly and helpful. Location great if you arrive by train! Otherwise relatively far from Nara park but easily walkable.

    The bedroom was a very good size and included a very comfortable bed. We had breakfast at the Hotel which was very nice, and included some vegan options so we were very happy. The location is excellent, right next to Nara station, and a short 15 minute walk to Nara park. I strongly recommend staying here!
