Decent!

Reviewed By CanuckJames

We took advantage of the "Go to Travel" campaign and we stayed here one night. We were very happy with our choice. COVID Protocol: Temperature check at check-in. All common area buttons are covered with antiviral stickers. Hallways are being monitored by disinfecting robots (I kid you not). Our room had a sticker that noted no one stayed in this room for at least 3 days. Location: Above JR Nara Station. While this may seem to be very central, in actuality, most of the tourist sites are closer to Kintesu Nara Station. That being said, it is still only a 15-minute walk to most of the areas that are worth visiting. Room: Quite dated. This is not a complaint but more an observation. Everything was clean, well-stocked, the bed was really comfortable. It was very quiet - while not sure if it was quiet because of a lack of guests or because of the room, this night we stayed here, it was incredibly quiet. We loved it. This is not a luxury hotel but a business hotel plus. Service: It was good. English was not prevalent but it was not an obstacle for us. Would we stay here again? Maybe. We now realize that we probably want to be closer to the nightlife but that is not anything against this property.

We had a very pleasant stay here recently for 2 nights. The hotel is not expensive and is just a 5 minute walk from JR Nara Station and is also close to cafe's, etc. The rooms are small but cleverly designed, are highly functional and everything works properly. The staff spoke English and were very helpful, we felt very comfortable here.

The best hotel to stay in Nara

Reviewed By lesliechuacl

This is absolutely one of the best hotel to stay in Nara. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was delicious. The location was pretty strategic and near to the tourist attraction spots. The room I had was clean and spacious enough only for two people. The best thing about this hotel is the hot spring. Absolutely soothing and clean. 10/10 would stay there again!

Courteous and Comfortable

Reviewed By Irlantilainen

This is the Daiwa Royal Hotel. 1 block n. of the higashi (east) exit of KashiharaJinguMae station, it's large and stylish in a dated, but superbly maintained, way. All the usual business hotel amenities, plus Japanese style rooms and 2 large onsen (not just oforu) baths. Very generous wide choice breakfast. Good base for a trip to Yoshino on the Kintetsu railway, or the nearby historic Imai-chi and Yagi-chi districts. Very helpful tourist office between hotel and station. Excellent restaurant 'Waraku Shin'; turn left out of hotel to main road, then 200m past Coco's. On right, 2nd floor up stairway.

Good hotel, excellent price, 10 min drive from Nara Park

Reviewed By Thibault N

Hotel has really a lot of rooms, situated 10 minutes drive from Nara Park (where all the visits happen). They also provide a free shuttle if you don't drive. Staff is very nice and helpful. Rooms are a bit small (in line with what you usually find in Japan), but very clean and neat. There is a huge car park attached with the hotel (500 yen per day) which makes it very convenient.

Kasuga Hotel

Nice well located hotel

Reviewed By DickZ_12

We arrived by car, there is free parking space. The reception is friendly and helpful. The room - especially for Japanese standards - is large with a nice bathroom and all the amenities. The wifi works well. There is a public bath on the first floor. The only drawback for me was that I found the hotel a bit noisy. There are rooms with sliding doors that apparently accommodate for many and there were loud people on the landing. It did not get quiet till after midnight and noise resumed early morning. Finally, the location is excellent for Nara sight seeing, the whole park is in walking distance.

A great Golden Week at JW Marriott Nara

Reviewed By Laurie T

The hotel the staff and management are to be commended for their customer service attention to detail managing of issues and support of those of us with physical challenges as well as the myriad of families on Golden Week activities! We stayed for 4/5 days we enjoyed being with our family after 3 years of Covid separation! From the moment of our arrival to our departure we were assisted our needs met and unobtrusive but effective customer service was provided! I would like to commend the Manager who was always welcoming observing and assisting and his multinational staff who supported visitors engaged in interactive communication and problem solving! My wife and I were assisted to take a Rickshaw ride with our grand daughters from the hotel and they daily enjoyed the swimming pool. Food was excellent and the restaurant had a very good set menu which we enjoyed. Finally response to requests on needs (special chairs) avoiding of food allergies perceived personal preferences were all immediately addressed ! Thank.you!
