2 Star Hotels in Nara

Nara Visitor Centre and Inn is charming place located right next to Sarasuwa pond. It is about 7 mins walk from the Kintetsu Nara station. Very near to Kofukuji temple. I stayed from 15-17 June 2023. I felt warmly received by the staff on duty at the inn. Quite a lot of them are Mandarin and English speaking. I really appreciate one of the elderly gentleman’s staff warmth when he took the time to explain to me the attractions around the inn that I can visit, and he speaks Mandarin very well! I also appreciate the other staff’s eagerness to assist when I asked them questions about tours or to recommend places for breakfast. A shoutout also to Yukina, who entertained me when I wanted to do the cosplay and Japanese calligraphy. I also really enjoyed the Japanese dance activity provided during my stay. I really enjoyed my stay here :) I booked a Japanese style room, 8 tatami mats. Spacious for 1. Toiletries provided are sufficient. view from the room showed Kofukuji temple but was blocked by a tree. The only issue I had was that I was given the room at the end of the corridor. I personally preferred not to have a room at end of corridor for personal reasons, but the room was bright, airy and comfortable, and I was happy with it so did not request for a change.

It is a building that feels the age at first glance, but when I stepped in, the nostalgic space that was carefully maintained spread. The room I stayed in ”Awafuji” was a really nice room. In a tatami room with a wide 々, the ceiling is high and you can feel ”I came to stay at my grandparents' house”. I thought it was lit up without worrying when I saw the garden at night. It was only once that I was able to meet the staff because it was a corona cherry blossom, but I was able to feel the hospitality of the hospitality. I would like to let you go again.

Welcomed right from the get go even though our room wasn't quite ready! The staff were incredibly kind. Honestly, finding an affordable accommodation in Nara at this good of a location does not come easy, and so if you're traveling on a budget this is an excellent option. Room was very clean, air conditioning worked very well on those hot summer days, we were in the budget room but it was still decently comfortable and spacious for two people. Definitely would recommend.

Very good, super good, especially good, really good, I like it, I have to come to live, I have to come, I highly recommend it, I highly recommend Amway, I really work hard! I have to come to live, I can't regret it, really! ! !

Stayed during the shosoin exhibition. I found that I was looking for a private room (because the guest house is impossible) because I only use it to sleep almost on a solo trip. It was a room of 4 tatami mats and half, but there was no problem using it alone, and the joint toilet and toilet were cleaned cleanly. The bath is a hot spring, and it is not timing or batting with other guests, and it is rental every day. It was very good to put your legs in a big bath because I was very tired to walk a lot. I only met at check-in, but the staff also felt good with a smile and stayed with peace of mind. Because it is an old building, the door opening and closing and the voice in the corridor are echoing. I wonder if anyone who cares. It was very convenient to make a tourist base within walking distance from the station and Nara Park.

I would highly recommend staying at The Deer Park Inn if you are stopping by Nara. It is located very close to the hill where you will get the most beautiful view of the sunset in the evenings, and you will wake up to views of the deer roaming around the front of the hotel. The receptionist was so funny and nice, we really felt at home here and would love to come and stay again. Facilities are perfect, clean and well-maintained.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family of 4 (a couple and 2 elementary school students) during the year-end and New Year holidays. This inn seems to have opened in October 2022 after being renovated from another ryokan, so it feels more for foreigners than for Japanese people. Of course, the staff can communicate in Japanese, but they seemed to be foreign nationals. All staff were friendly. It was my first time in Nara, but the location was good. It is close to Nara Park, and all shrine areas such as Kasuga Taisha are within walking distance. It is also an area where there are many stylish restaurants, so I think adults can enjoy it. My family had two elementary school students who liked and disliked meals, so I prefer family restaurants and Italian restaurants rather than bars and izakayas, but it was okay. There is no elevator, but the suitcases and luggage I left before check-in were carried to the room. It's a wooden building, so the walls are thin, and there was a sign saying no loud noises. The bath is a hot spring and the spring quality is good, but it cannot be said that it is large. There are 3 showers in the men's bath and 10 lockers with locks in the dressing room, but it was so cramped if two adults changed clothes at the same time. If you are an adult, it is better to have about 2 people at the same time, and if 3 to 4 people enter, it will be full. It's just a little bigger than a home bath. There was one coin laundry. You need to bring your own detergent, but there is a washing machine and dryer, which is recommended for long-term guests and those who want to keep luggage to a minimum. Necessary amenities are available at the front desk. There is no refrigerator and TV in the room, so it would be nice if it was easy, but it was a little inconvenient when drinking alcohol bought at a convenience store in the room. The toilet in the room has also been renovated, and it feels like a clean home toilet.

It is a Japanese homestay, booked a Japanese-style room (the boss is really good as everyone commented), except for the small room, other health and environment are very good. It is very close to Nara Park and is within walking distance. At the same time, it is very close to Nara Subway Station. If you are looking for a good value for money, this hotel is a good choice. recommend!

It was late November, and I had never seen Nara leisurely before. Exactly! I knew this hotel because I often saw it on accommodation sites. A 5-course dinner plan, plus a free upgrade to a 2-room spacious room! I was really looking forward to it, but I'm disappointed. What the heck, the important pufferfish is terrible! I didn't expect the price to be the only price, but it was so tired that I didn't know if it was a pufferfish or what. Tessa is something I've never seen before, and it's not chewy. The best thing I could eat was the fried chicken. Ultimately, when you make rice porridge at the end of Tecchiri, there is no explanation such as making it by yourself at the beginning, so I guess you do the rice porridge set on the edge of the table yourself? I started making it while thinking that it was finished, and when I poured it into a bowl, there was a brown liquid in a small bowl about the size of a cup. ! I made it already! Don't give me any explanation, you don't understand! ? I yelled. Really unkind! I returned the rice porridge to the pot, added the dashi stock, stirred it, and ate it again! I feel sorry for making my husband look forward to the puffer fish tonight with the hotel and plan I chose. It seems that there were a couple of customers who chose puffer fish, but it was so bad that I never regretted that I should have made a normal banquet plan. I'm sure the standard plan was delicious as usual, so I got this kind of evaluation, but with this impression, I won't be doing it again, so even if I raise the price a little more, I got a decent pufferfish I think it's better. The open-air bath is also very narrow unlike the pamphlets and photos on the internet. Some people say it's hot, but when I was there, it was so lukewarm that I felt cold in the bath. upgrade? To be honest, it might have been better to have a normal room... The walls are old and full of scratches. Breakfast seems to have become a buffet, and the restaurant is small, so other customers should not eat in such a place! I was complaining. I want to eat hot tea porridge that is lukewarm (cold) to room temperature. However, at night, the staff told us stories about the deer of Nara in the lobby lounge. I decided to think that my dinner choice was a failure, but I knew that the hotel was making efforts in various projects, so I was disappointed this time.

The hotel is very good, the location is very good, the entrance is the new Omiya Station, it is very convenient to go to Nara famous attractions, although the hotel facilities are slightly older than Tokyo, but clean and tidy, this price is not lost, cost-effective, and other service staff Also very polite, come back next time
