Top Sakurai Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice hotel with excellent customer services and clean, comfortable rooms. We especially appreciated how close it was to Nara Park and a covered shopping area with lots of local shops (including a Daiso) and a large variety of eating establishemnts."

Piazza Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"My most favorite hotel in Nara"

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small and maybe not the best idea to stay in if you are over 2 people. But everything was so clean and well thought out that it felt very comfortable. I was especially loved the natural hot spring and massage amenities!"

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Interesting experience in a traditional japanese wooden house."

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful and friendly staff. The room was quite spacious and cleanly decorated, very comfortable. Public bath was modern and clean, very relaxing."

Novotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"2 year old hotel conveniently located close to the city hall. Modern and comfortable, quiet as well. The breakfast was consistently crowded but that is due to Silver Week. Really helpful staff. The price of the breakfast was not included for our child and we found it somewhat over-inflated at 23,000 yen per day as a half-price. Would recommend."

Hotel Nikko Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the hotel was elegant. We could not believe how quiet it was given that it's connected to the train station and right at the foot of the street that leads to the park. Great rooms and great location. We would definitely stay there again."

R HOTEL RE.OSAKA NAGAI PARK

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean room and wonderful spa facilities. Very friendly and kind staff too."

Amami Onsen Nanten-en

10/10 Excellent

"Superb place. Big pool and Onsen. Excellent food service and amenities. Small scenic town just be careful as not all trains from Osaka stop at this station."
