Top Shohaku Art Museum Hotel Reviews

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."

Nara Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property"

HOTEL ZEN narahourai

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice relaxation. We had a good time and the food was very good. Although, it is quite far from touristy areas and bus stops so keep that in mind"

JW Marriott Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Shiroyama inn

10/10 Excellent

"A small inn ran by an old couple; I didn't see much of the husband, he seemed to be busy doing various tasks around the property. The wife was a kind lady, who will help you easily if you need it, she also has a decent grasp of English so you shouldn't need much google translate, especially if you know a bit if Japanese yourself. "

Hotel SINDAI

10/10 Excellent

"The room is very clean"

HOTEL ESSOR - Adult Only

10/10 Excellent

"Near the Nara ruins, in room sauna and jacuzzi a plus"

HOTEL ROCCO - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Room is old but clean, it's typical love hotel style. In room dining is available. You can use the payment ATM nxt to the door before checkout to settle by cash or card, instructions are in Japanese. Per usual love hotel you will be locked in once you are in the room, dial 9 and ask staff to open door if you need to leave the room. Car park is on level 1, you need to use stairs to get to room passing the reception. Hotel is on a slope so it's a bit challenging to stop and ask for instructions when we arrive. Other than that the staff are very helpful and they had instructions already translated in English printed for tourists who do not know the system. Room is large and toiletries are amazing and ladies can even use hair curler and other products. Overall good value and comfortable for 1-2 nights if you don't mind the style of stay."
