"I was such a beautiful place to stay! There was plenty of room, and plenty of pillows - rare in Japan! The decoration was very tasteful and welcoming. Staircase was a little narrow, but this is common in Japan and not a fault of the owner. There was only one toilet, which worked fine for our family of 4. Location was fabulous - easily walkable to Nara Park and the train station, and right on a busy walking street full of shopping and food, yet still quiet enough to rest at night. My only...

"Dinner can be provided. We had pizza and pasta and both were excellent. Host is very nice and gave us a nice introduction. Highly recommend this property. "

"substandard setups in kitchen and toilet and bathroom. The recycled, overused mattress is so damned poor that we almost need to consult a spine doctor. We will never recommend our friends for this slaughter house 😔"

"It was a perfectly nice property, and was in a really good location. However, communications with the host were really poor, and check-in was a huge fiasco. I think they tried to provide check-in information to my home phone number, but obviously, as a traveller, I had no access to my home phone number. There was no other way to get in contact with this host. They provided us a phone number in the booking info, but we called it and it turned out to be the wrong number. We had to plead with the...

"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

"Beautiful location, amazing hotel - the rooms were clean, well appointed - live the bathrooms setup - bed super comfortable. We ordered breakfast for the second night - yummy Japanese meal set. This was our favorite hotel in our stay, well appointed hope to return. You need a car because it is remote from public transport, plenty of free parking at the same level as hotel. The staff was wonderful! This place is well worth a journey!"
"I liked staying here. The hot spring was relaxing. The room was clean and nice. The location is great to go anywhere worth seeing in Nara. I am coming to this place again on my next trip to Japan!"
"Fantastic experience for staying at Novotel Nara. They provide shuttle bus service to and from Nara park and JR station, plus 5 mins walk to the nearest shopping centre and “ROUND one” which is a great place for children and adults.
Nice public bath and kids play area inside the hotel, massage chairs at 2nd floor. Clean and reasonable size of the rooms. I will come back again next summer."
"Very clean room and property. Cutely decorated lobby area was nice and cool (not cold) with open air. So many free amenities like coffee, tea, water dispenser, shaved ice machine, toothbrushes, board games. Staff is so friendly. Beds, including pillows, were very comfortable. I appreciated the robe/pajama and slippers provided. Very close to Nara train station. 1 mile walk to Nara park and bus back from temple was very fast."
"The staff members were wonderful: Lester and Jonathan/Check - in very quick & Silk Road Dining staff breakfast with on point!
The only thing could be better was the one hour swimming time & having to make a reservation for it. That was strange and awkward. My phone was a problem and I was sure if it went through!"
