Hotel Novotel di Nara

10 seconds walk from JR Nara Station. It's okay even if it rains. Hotel check-in is on the 3rd floor. The bathhouse on the 6th floor is free. Free drinks on the 3rd floor. Breakfast shows the pride of the hotel. Very delicious.

Very nice hotel，but service is not OK. Maybe I should say”bad”. We booked 1 room with 3 beds for 3 people, due to the booking system could input only 2 names, we have 1 person’s name missing. The 2 ladies in the front desk of the hotel told that we need to pay extra JPN 3900 for the additional bed. Or, we could only have 2 beds for 3 people. I said no, because it’s included in the room charge, we paid already. The ladies have no will to help us to solve the problem, but very interested in charging more. Try to imagine, will 2 people book 3 beds room for 2 beds? why don’t people book a same type standard room to save some money? Please contact with your agent to fix your booking system. Finally a gentleman of the hotel helped to negotiate,and we could live here. The room is really nice and clean. But the service is the worst I’ve ever seen in Japan.

Exceeded expections on all grounds! I am so happy with the hotel I wanted to spread the word. This hotel has great old world charm and more. I was a little worried about the condition of the hotel (more than 100 years old!) but everything was fine. I stayed at the Main Wing / basic room with park view. The bathroom was basic (business hotel like) but very clean, but the room / bedding and the view at our window was wonderful. Given the low price point, we were very happy with the room. Definitely recommend the Main Wing, and if you can, a room with higher price point. All staff, from shuttle bus / concierge / front desk / bar, are excellent. We really enjoyed the check in process - you can sit at the lounge admiring Einstein's piano while the front staff comes calling your name. Also try the tea lounge both during the day and night (turns to a bar). I would also like to extend special thanks to Korean speaking front manager Lee Su Jin who helped us in so many ways. She really made our stay comfortable. One thing to note about Nara city itself is that most venues close at 4pm and have unpredictable operating hours. You can't just walk around hoping to sit down at a cafe or restaurant. Highly recommend making reservations in advance of your trip and I'm sure Nara hotel concierge can help with this. I really enjoyed Nara Hotel and look really forward to returning.

We wanted to have a very Japanese experience while in Nara and booked one of their Japanese style rooms. Very nice room that was very clean and comfortable. They provide you with traditional Japanese robes to wear while you are in the hotel. Many people wear these to dinner/breakfast or just walking around the hotel. When we went out to dinner they came and transformed our room for sleeping by placing out the futon mats and pillows. Very nice to come back after dinner and have your room ready. They have an Onsen on site that you can use - one for women and one for men. This was very enjoyable after a long day hiking and hangin out with the deer.

デイユースで利用しました。12時間滞在で3500円、さらのデイユースプランでも朝食がつきます。個人的にアボカドと鶏肉の炒め物が美味しかったです。スムージーまで用意されていて満足できました。 　 　 　 お部屋は窓の外がビルの壁しかない部屋と、景色が広い部屋があるので、あらかじめ景色の広い部屋をリクエストしたほうがいいです。一階のカフェスペースも10時以降自由に使えてコーヒー飲み放題でした。テレワークでこの宿はオススメできます。

這個酒店還是不錯的，但是位置很崩潰，在很偏僻的地方，需要坐公交車去，旁邊是山和竹林，晚上很恐怖，周邊什麼都沒有

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and loved it. The staff was very nice and check in/out was simple. The hotel had a lot of traditional aspects to it and I loved the room. The room was traditional and modern and had all the needed amenities. The hotel is right by the station and a short walk from Nara Park and the downtown area. I would definitely stay here again.

Spent one night at the Miroku Nara. We purchased 2 rooms and must say we were not overwhelmed. We thought this was a Michelin Guide hotel and higher end boutique Hotel...was it? Check in was quite informal, the hotel didn't request passports or verification of visitors. Although we arrived at 2:00, we were denied check in until 3:00. The hotel said early check in would cost us 2,200 Yen per hour so we declined. However they did accept our luggage without cost. Our rooms, in the Grotto (Roots of Nara...sub-basment) were huge (35m squared) and could easily have slept 4 with 2 futons and 2 beds. The traditional tatami room was great to just chill out in. The rooms were quiet! The W/C was separate from the wash zone. Very nice! The wife was strong and we were able to stream. The A/C worked quietly and we were very comfortable. Our Japanese guests in their own unit were not impressed and thought the room dark and ”different”. Their polite way of saying it wasn't to their liking. We should have purchased a room above ground for them, with lots of light. Either the Japanese-Style or the Moderate would have been better received. The bathroom amenities were of good quality, I had no complaints overall. The stone table outside our rooms came in handy for our afternoon decision making. However everyone in the hotel comes down to this area for tea, hot and cold filtered water and other needs. It was strange to have folks milling about outside our rooms. Aesthetically, the whole hotel is minimal and beautiful. We were unable to locate any inter hotel phones for room to room contact, or contact with the front desk. We did not partake in any meals yet the outdoor tables are pleasant and one can watch the deer of Nara wander around. We required parking and the hotel parking is under renovation. It's quite expensive to park locally and the staff members suggested a lot just a few meters down from the hotel that was reasonably priced. Would we return...probably not. At CAD$235/night. It was pricey for what we received. There was not even a welcome gift of mochi :( Our friends said we should try Setre next time with free breakfast, lounge drinks, and bikes)
