Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring
Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring"I always stay here when I am in Nara. It is right next to the train station so it makes it a walk to get to the main sights but it is awesome you don’t have to carry your luggage far. The spa is great, they have washing machines, the breakfast is amazing, it is super clean, the beds are comfortable, the elevators/guest ratio is good, and it is quiet. Only thing I hate is the light in the entry way is motion detecting…every time you go to the bathroom, it turns on!"
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Springs
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Springs"If you’re an onsen-lover & looking for a convenient location with a reasonable price. this is a great choice. But I was disappointed with over-priced breakfast service as other hotels provide much better quality of breakfast with leas price."
"Very good overall!"

Great view of Nara City at night during the happy hour or morning during breakfast. Basic pillow was traditional Japanese pillow filled with beans or grain. Other softer pillows were available from the front reception area. The hotel is working hard to reduce/eliminate carbon footprint. As a traveler with small luggage at the end...
