Ok for just staying overnight

The hotel is very old, even though its lobby looked like a palace! But they still use real key to access to my room (not the modern room key card with sensors) which was what I had when I was little (like 30 years ago when I travelled abroad) which , surprised me a bit, lol, maybe it is designed to stay that way since Nara is also an old city? I wondered. Inside the room was clean though, but all facilities looked outdated such as bathtub, faucet sink, ect but if you are like me who doesnโ€™t need fancy hotels then it works fine! I had to ride limousine bus to Itami airport from JR Nara station to fly back to Haneda the next day after visiting Nara Park, so it was convenient!

Immaculate service & lobby, Rooms need a Refresh

Nikko Nara Hotel is most conveniently located, connected to Nara Station. Quaint Starbucks and Tourist Guide Centre next to station. Near to main road leading to town centre, with food streets, temples and past a small lake that eventually leads to Nara Deer Park. The hotel service is immaculate. Beautiful lobby which is well furnished. A small lounge next to the lobby provides hotel guests a place to have complimentary coffee cookies and drinks in the afternoons. The hotel rooms unfortunately are rather compact, in original condition and requires refurbishing. Since we sleep in the room and not in the hotel lobby, it would be ideal if Nikko Nara could invest in refurbishing the guest rooms, which would make it the perfect hotel to stay whenever we are back in Nara.

This hotel was really cool! Right next to the station but was very quiet! Also lived that you can lock your bags up/utilize a locker to store bags while waiting for check in so you can explore Nara worry free! Staff was very nice and the restaurant in the hotel was a great experience!!
