Nara hotels near Nara Prefectural Cultural Hall

Pros: We could walk there with luggage from the train station. The staff were very friendly and communicated well. We had the impression prior to arriving that the Guesthouse was a cross between a hostel and a hotel and it turned out to be pleasantly basic with private rooms and showers with well maintained and clean shared kitchen and common area. It accomodated our family of 6 adults very nicely.

Pros: Very comfortable room and bed with excellent facilities. Convenient to all the important sights of Nara, and to two train stations for easy access to Kyoto.

Pros: Clean, modern, attractively priced, and well-located accommodations in Nara. The owners are very nice, welcoming, and helpful. I appreciated the advice they gave me about directions to the temple sites I wanted to see and places to eat. While it's slightly out of the way from the main tourist sites, it's still relatively close (maybe 5-7 minutes extra walk than other more expensive hotels), and there are nice eateries nearby. It's also very close to the JR train station.

Pros: The staff was great and friendly. The place was new and clean.

Pros: Lovely ,welcoming and helpful staff. Good services with acess to internet,small kitchen etc, Rooms very compact but beautifully clean.

Pros: The staff were kind and helpful. The room was wonderful, with big tatami mats, a spacious bathroom, big bathtub, fancy toilet, and even a massage chair. I loved the Kaiseki food. The onsen was relaxing and tattoo friendly. They even arranged a free guide for me to tour Nara, and gave me cookies to feed the sacred deer.

Pros: Extremely convenient and knowledgeable staff.
