Hotels With Gym in Nara Prefecture, Japan

The hotel environment is great, and the room is really spacious – it's rare to find such a large hotel room. The location is quite close to Shin-Omiya, but there aren't many shops or restaurants around. Luckily, the hotel offers a convenient bus service to Kintetsu Nara Station, which is great for visiting the deer. Downstairs, for some reason, there were a lot of cars speeding by, creating a bit of noise, but it wasn't too bothersome. The hot spring bath was really comfortable; overall, the environment is truly fantastic~

The hotel is conveniently located near Nara Station, making access easy even on a rainy day. There are many restaurants and a supermarket around the station, and the hotel lobby also has an elegant restaurant. Upon check-in, a welcome drink was offered. The hotel has a large number of rooms, so if you're assigned a room further away, it might be a bit of a walk. The room facilities looked a bit dated, but they were perfectly functional. The bathtub was quite large for a room of this size, and the toiletries were a collaboration with La Mer. This stay included the breakfast buffet, which suited my taste well, featuring many local ingredients and some Western breakfast options. Overall, the experience was good. Since it was off-season, the price was very reasonable, and I would consider staying here again.

I booked a king-sized room, and it looked just like the pictures, meeting my expectations perfectly. The bed was large enough, and there were both soft and firm pillows. The hotel is visible right from the West Exit of JR Nara Station. You don't even need to go downstairs; you can just walk directly across the sky bridge. The hotel's front desk is on the LB floor; turn right after exiting the elevator. We arrived before check-in time, so we went to the front desk to store our luggage. After we returned, we asked to retrieve our luggage and check in. Check-in is done at a machine; if you speak Japanese, you can do it yourself, otherwise, a staff member might need to guide you. The elevator requires a key card, and once you swipe it, it automatically selects your floor, which is quite convenient as you don't have to press the button manually. Our room was on the 8th floor, and the hotel fulfilled all the requests I made during booking. I'm not sure if it was because it was the off-season and there weren't many people, but we barely saw any other guests. We didn't hear any noise from the hallway or outside the window, so soundproofing wasn't an issue at all. The bathroom was spacious, and naturally, it had a smart toilet. The lighted vanity mirror was very convenient for applying and removing makeup. The drawers were well-stocked with toiletries, though the toothbrushes were very hard and might make your gums bleed. I recommend bringing your own toothbrush if possible, or buying one at Lawson downstairs. The shower room didn't have a bathtub, which is more typical for Chinese preferences, and it also had a small stool. The hand soap, shower gel, and shampoo were all from POLA, and they were quite pleasant to use. The room had a desk perfect for working, but the only drawback was the lack of power outlets, only USB ports, which made charging inconvenient. Perhaps there were some, and we just didn't find them. Also, there was no full-length mirror in the room. The hotel's breakfast area is next to the front desk, just a short walk away. You give your voucher to the staff, and they give you a card, which you return after you finish eating. You don't need to clean up after yourself; just leave the dishes on the table and go. The breakfast selection wasn't as extensive as in China, lacking even basic fried eggs. In terms of RMB, it felt a bit pricey, but for Japan, the cost was reasonable. There were breads, pastries, some fruits, snacks, and a wide variety of drinks, so you could certainly get a full meal. If you have a busy morning schedule, I recommend having breakfast at the hotel. I would definitely want to stay here again on my next trip to Nara!

should consider this the best hotel around in nara town. nice environment, and nice service. the breakfsst varieties could have been a little bit more, and that would be wonderful.

Had a wonderful trip to Nara! The hotel was exceptionally clean, with a beautiful environment and a very convenient location. The staff service was top-notch. Before arriving, I wondered what a 5-star rated hotel would actually be like, but after staying here, it truly turned out to be a fantastic experience. Right before leaving, I almost forgot my ring in the room, and the staff immediately arranged to open the door for me. I am so grateful to them and look forward to another wonderful trip next time!
