Old fashioned hotel with easy access to JR station. Large room and fast check in and Checkout process. Neither the public bath (tiny and uncomfortable changing room), nor the breakfast (average food at a unsuiting banquet hall) met our expectation on new year's day. No VIP access perks were given.

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.

The hotel and facilities are not updated. No USB charger or international adapter in my room. I was using my own power bank to charge my mobile. Staff was helpful and polite if you have enquiries. The exhaust fan was not working in my bathroom. The mirror and everything were wet and sweaty. I did not notice that after I showered and it was late night, so I did not contact staff till I checked out. Nothing wrong with their staff and service, but they definitely need to upgrade their hardware and get the rooms renovated. I was surprised when they handed me a silver key with key ring while checking in, but not a keycard.

夕食のホテル内のバイキングがもう少し安いと良い。飲み物(生ビール一杯、日本酒3合位を含めて5000円位の価格設定であれば外に食事に行かなく済む。奈良駅近くには余り良い所が無いと思います。ホテルが逆に市民も行きたいと思う場所を提供してくれれば嬉しいです。奈良ホテルと同じで周りに良い飲食店街が無いのだから、ホテルが魅力を発信すべきかと思います。奈良ホテルと違って駅の近くというアドバンテージがあるのですが、それを活かした攻め方があろうかと愚考します。
