I wish I could stay in this hotel every night of my trip to Japan. Rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. Bed was comfortable and the amenities were spectacular. Dinner buffet was delicious. Short 10 minute walk to the train station.

Excellent service, best hotel on our two week trip in Japan (Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto & Nara). Best breakfast too and buffet type dinner was superb. Nice extra was those two (free!) massage chairs. Room was nice, rather large and quiet and bathroom was clean.

Beautiful hotel, spotless. Really nice onsen. Average food that was way overpriced for what you get. Breakfast was better than dinner. The room was spacious but the shower was very small. Nice bed.

Loved our stay in Novotel Nara. Probably the nicest Novotel I’ve been too. The public hot baths and relaxation space was amazing. The hotel is really new and modern, beautiful views from the rooftop terrace and executive lounge. We stayed two nights in Nara at two different properties. I wish we’d spent two nights here. It’s not walking distance to Nara park but only one train stop away.

Room was enough big for two people with luggage. Buffet had unique options which collaborated with local ingredients. It was delicious.

Top hotel but bit out of the way. But after doing a ton of walking and the sensory overload in Tokyo and Osaka it’s nice to chill out here for a few days and relax before kicking on again.

This was a modern property with everything and more we needed. The onsite restaurant is expensive but there are other options around. Know that if you only have a JR pass and come in at JR Nara it's a 3.5km walk to the hotel - doable in nice weather and because its flat or get on a bus! We loved the new, clean features and the practical laundry was great for travellers.

Every thing was luxurious here. Room was large and comfortable. Shower has perfect temperature and the rain shower head is so good. Amenities include glass bottles of mineral water and coffee and pajamas. It’s a block from the bus stop that takes you straight to Nara. Would definitely stay here again if I plan on going to feed the deers.

The stay at the hotel was decent. While the location was convenient and the atmosphere pleasant, the rude attitude of the foreign manager left a negative impression. Additionally, the experience at the restaurant was very disappointing. Despite the beautiful and well-decorated space, the food was of very poor quality, which further detracted from the overall experience. It’s a shame, as the hotel had great potential to be excellent.
Sejour de 2 nuits très bien! L'ensemble était parfait, la chambre suffisante d'espace et fonctionnelle. Les bains publics sont propres, l'espace lounge avec sieges massants est juste parfait pour les fins de journées ! Le restaurant est aussi exceptionnel, meme la pizza 4 fromages est meilleur qu'en Italie !! Je ne sais pas comment ils font ! :) le personnel est très serviable et ne lâche pas tant que la demande n'est pas pleinement satisfaite (nous avions eu un problème d'achat avec une boutique en ville (absolument pas lié au Novotel !) Le personnel nous à aidé plus que nous demandions ! Merci !
