Piazza Hotel Nara is probably one of the most impeccable hotels that's situated right at JR Nara station. It is a convenient starting point for exploring the shopping streets which lead up to Nara Park. The hotel has comprehensive facilities and amenities available to guests, including lovely buffet menus, and room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was earnest in understanding and communicating in English with English-speaking guests and provided excellent service. Definitely my top choice of accommodation in Nara.

The location was great because it is located in a shopping district with great access to food and other stores for buying souvenirs. It is also a short 5 min walk to the outskirts of Nara Park and some local museums. The breakfast tastes AMAZING with great service. They ask you when you want your breakfast and you show up with everything already prepared for you. Since its a ryokan, everything is very traditional so the service, the facilities, and everything else gives you a great experience of the Japanese culture

Location was ideal: adjacent to the JR Nara station, yet isolated from the hustle bustle. A well-appointed grocery store was nearby as was a Starbucks located in a historic building. Hotel was similar to other 3-Star accommodations in Japan; compact yet full of modern amenities. Property was recently rebranded as a Spa, yet I didn’t take advantage of low-cost public bathing facility. Having a separate laundromat with microwave and beverage machine were added bonuses. Room had a work desk. WiFi was robust.

One of the best place we stay at. The services provided by the hotel, and the very nice hotel staff were top notch. The in room private onsen, and the public one was excellent. We stayed in a Japanese style room, love all the detail of the corridor and the style. We especially enjoy the half board meals provided. I recommend anyone stay there to get it. I’ll definitely come back again if I’m visiting Nara again. Hotel is located very close to the train station and buses are easy walk to.

The nicest and most welcoming host you could ask for. Out of the 10 places I stayed during my trip Guest House Oku has got to be the best just for the how welcoming it was. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time chatting with the host and other people staying there, sitting in the kitchen drawing together and trying to learn a little bit of Japanese. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I hope that when I am able to revisit Nara, I will be able to stay here again!

Great economical hotel. Booked last minute. Recommend the buffet breakfast which had both western and Japanese offerings. Hotel is located across from the JR Nara station which was great for access. 7-Eleven is just down the street, and restaurants nearby. Nara has a lot to see and do. Being right off the train, this could be a good choice for those looking for a hub to make day trips from. Washers and dryers are available for a small fee in the hotel (400¥).

A very nice and chilling experience. We liked our traditional style room very much. Although there was no shower in the room, it had a private toilet and wash basin. It was actually more spacious than regular Japanese hotel rooms and it was very clean. The private onsen was amazing, the best of the experience after a long walk, do not miss your privage time slot.The hotel staff was very helpful and we had a great chilling time in Nara, thanks to this ryokan.

This is a very excellent Hotel, with the most convenient location of any hotel that I have experienced in Japan, just one short block from the Jr Nara train station. From the train station, buses can take you anywhere that you would want to go in the Nara area, and to me, the Nora area is the best and most important sightseeing in Japan. The breakfast is excellent, as are the rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

This is a lovely quiet hotel just outside Nara. The facilities are a little dated and could use an upgrade. Nevertheless this is a wonderful little find. The Onsen is quiet and easily accessible. The room was huge, bed super comfortable and the restaurant on site was amazing!! Love that they supply kimonos for dressing for traditional dinner. Breakfast is a good mix of western diet and Japanese breakfast foods.

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.

Hotel with a traditional style located a short walk from Kintetsu-Nara station. Good sized room and very friendly, helpful and attentive staff who made our stay a pleasure. We had booked with breakfast included and would highly recommend the traditional Japanese option. Staff were readily acommodating of our request to have dinner in our room the following evening even though we had not pre-booked this.

I booked the Super Hotel Premier JR Nara Eki only a few days prior to arrival in Nara and I am so glad I did. I was moving around Japan with a bicycle bag and related gear, so the location and convenience of this hotel was wonderful. The staff were very helpful at every turn and the facilities (e.g. laundry) were great. The breakfast was very good and I will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

If you are staying in Nara, this Hostel is a MUST! The staff are so amazing and kind! The owner personally sat down with me, gave me a map, and told me which places in Nara to visit, and it was a perfect tour of Nara! The location is close to the main street, so there’s lots to do! The rooms were big and the beds were cozy! Everything was very clean! This is the BEST hostel I’ve ever stayed in!

Nicest, helpful staff, who give you the best advice in very good English and CARE:). Great location (walking distance from both stations and easy to find), friendly amenities - clean shared facilities + possibility to have tea or coffee, lots of books to go through if you have a spare minute. When we go back to Nara we definitely stay at Yuzan. And it was the biggest room we had in Japan:).

This property is a gem! My family and I were visiting from San Diego and one of our stops was in Nara. Kyokosan made us feel at home with the breakfast, treats and hospitality she provided. It is also hard to find accommodations in Japan that are the size of western homes but this one is very spacious. I only wished we would have spent more time to be able to enjoy the home more.

Great spot to stay in Nara. Hotel was clean, room was fairly standard sizing for the Japanese hotels. Location was great, near to lots of good places to eat and withing walking distance to the Kintetsu railway line as well as the nature park and temples. We really enjoyed our stay in Nara, and can recommend the APA hotel as a great place to stay while you visit.

Such a gorgeous hotel! Our room was lovely, we had our own private hot onsen on the balcony and it was nice to sleep in traditional Japanese beds. The hotel’s onsen is perfect for relaxing after a long day of sight seeing, and the staff are very sweet and helpful. It’s in a great location, within walking distance from of landmarks in Nara.

Overall a great experience and a highlight of our trip - amazing host, excellent dinner and breakfast (make sure to order these when staying here!), very cozy Japanese-style rooms. Good location, too - very peaceful neighborhood, but still close to all the sights. We'll be sure to stay here again next time we're in Nara!

Everything! This was such a treat of a place. I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff are so kind and helpful; the futons were comfortable; the breakfast was the best I had in Japan and the location could not have been better. Super close to Nara Park and also walking distance from both train stations

Great Hostel right at the gate to all the places you want to see in Nara. Also just a really short walk to Kintetsu Nara Station. Rooms are quiet and beds are stable. Clean shower and toilet. Breakfast included and I really like it. One big toast with a topping of choice, delicious salad and a drink.
