The hotel is literally a few feet from the Nara station exit and it was easy to find the sign to go to the 3rd floor lobby of the hotel. There is also a big supermarket right next to the hotel and across from the Nara station, and the Tourist Information Center is right next to the supermarket. The Nara Park, Todaiji Temple and the other attractions are within walking distance from the hotel and through a lively shopping street. The bus stops are also right in front of the station. The room was clean, comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The amenities provided in the room, including a hot water kettle, fridge, and a yukata for using the public bath (if one is interested) were very good. One of the nice things I noticed in the hotel was the self-storage lockers for storing luggage near the reception desk either before or after check-in. The reception staff was also able to provide me with a tourist map. The hotel lobby also had free coffee in the morning, which was nice. If I were to visit Nara again, I would definitely stay in this hotel.

For a love hotel, the aesthetic is not too sketchy. it felt pretty equatorial. I like that I could have a drink brought up to my room 24/7. The staff is friendly (at least the one I met). The sound isolation is decent, I only heard cleaning noise in the near room in the morning, though I'm unsure if I had neighbors. The room is spacious and the ceiling high. It's a change from usual Japanese hotel rooms. I appreciate the wooden vibes. The AC is strong so the room cools down and warms up pretty fast. Amazing black out windows at night. No bad smell. a little Jacuzzi. I recommend if you have hard time dealing with tiny hotel rooms in Japan and don't mind taking taking back and forth.

The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to...
The Todaiji temple and the Kofuku-ji Buddhist temple next to it are a must-see. The museum was okay. The Isui-en Wisteria garden was okay too but it was too crowded because the flowers were in bloom. There are a number of restaurants and cafes on the street from the Nara Station to Nara Park.
Walking from Hotel Nikko/Nara Station to Nara Park and walking to all the attractions nearby was very tiring. So, I may recommend taking the bus on the way back, if possible. Also, it suddenly started raining in the afternoon and luckily, I had an umbrella with me.
I wished I had more time to see some of the other attractions outside of the Nara Park.

This was the most welcome I felt of our entire trip. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. If you could choose any hotel for your vacation this has to be the one because it will be your favorite. The food and staff were my favorites. The room was clean and comfy and they even had buckwheat pillows!

The best advice I can give is find where the biggest crowds are massed, all trying to impress deer with the same rice crackers that everyone else is trying to feed them, then pick a direction and walk away from them. There is so much more to the park: primeval forests, ancient stone pathways leading to temples and small villages older than most of our own countries, hidden pockets of lost time. It is hard to explain how it feels to not have another human being in sight, finding yourself passing stone idols carved by people hundreds of years ago, only to see a deer eating moss from the base of said idol that stops chewing to literally bow to you. Of course you bow back and scramble in your bag for some kind of treat to offer your new best friend (I recommend unsalted pretzel sticks, the deer hate plain rice crackers as much as we do at this point) and then having it gently eat from the palm of your hand, before you both again swap polite bows and go on your merry way. Then you hear a crow sing from the ancient forest behind you, and you just know: this is pretty cool.

Nice place, parks, plenty of temples, huge Buddha statues, a little ride by train and you can see the oldest still standing wooden building in the world!
And of course the deer! Feeding the deer with the deer cookies is fun and a little scary as they are quite bold and can pull and push you a bit.
Good food available as well.

If you are tired of seeing crowded with tourists cities, come to Nara and start exploring the city. It’s a beautiful city that has so much more to offer with affordable prices. I fell in love with deers and all that Nara has to offer.

There’s a lot to see in Nara but it is quite spread out.
There’s a lot to see in Nara but it is quite spread out. Buses are easy to use though. Taxis can get busy - couldn’t get a booking.
There are two amazing restaurants at the bus station.
And there’s a seismic company building that is really interesting, and even has a great view from the top.
Very clean, they put effort into it keeping the hotel clean, organized, and well presented.
Staff are very receptive and helpful.
Beds (twin room) were comfortable, clean, crisp, and warm.
Location is excellent. Walking distance to both JR Nara and Kintetsu Nara stations.
Easy access to the bus to go uphill to the main historical sites. Walking would be about 10 minutes to Kohfukuji.
Restaurants around the corner on Sanjyo street in front of JR Nara.
A pleasant walk to the historical Nakamura and the shopping street.
Super location. From the windows I could see the roof Kofuku-Ji and the Pagoda (trees block some view but ok). The temple is just a couple hundreds of meters away. It's literally in Nara Park. One can walk to Todai-ji, Kasuga Taisha. Many restaurants to choose from. Shopping areas are nearby. Kitetsu Station is 10 minutes walk. The room is spacious and clean. No frill but everything works fine. Super Clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will most definitely recommend to solo travelers
The Location of the hotel is good for going to Nara Park or the Temple with the great Buddha Hall. The breakfast is good, though were still not sure why you can't order the ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast and just the Breads with different toppings (jam, beans, butter,egg). The room is very small if you travel with big suitcases but it works. The Bathroom is also good but very small. The famous Mochi maker and a good Street for souvenirs and dining is also very close.
Wonderful hotel in Nara located just across from the main station & the main street leading to the park. Clean and pretty spacious public baths. I preferred to stay inside as we hear trains pass in the outside onsen. Guests are required to leave shoes upon entering the lobby (shoe lockers provided) which we loved, felt like a true Japanese hospitality experience. Complimentary soba noodles in the evening. Small but very comfortable rooms.
Very beautiful property. We had a private bath with a mountain view and it was very beautiful. We loved everything about this place. Very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and nice. We cannot eat raw fish and they accommodated us easily and the food was exceptional. Very nice and delicious. The town of Nara is beautiful and easy to get around in. The hotel is also in a great location.
We absolutely loved this luxury ryokan in Nara. It was a perfect ending to our 2-week trip in Japan, especially after visiting the big cities prior to our stay at Sarusawaike Yoshida. The staff was so welcoming and helpful! We really enjoyed the private baths, the roof-top lounge, and the wonderful location of the hotel. Highly recommended!
Great little place in a location close to much Nara has to offer, shopping, Nara Park, restaurants. Room was a good size for a solo traveler with a private bathroom. Not sure why some reviews are negative toward the older gentleman that looks after the place, he was cordial to me during my stay and offered to help me every chance he had.
Location is very convenient, just a few steps from Nara JR station exit. You can use overhead passage too to get to the hotel.
The room is very spacious by Japanese standards.
I would rate beds as 10/10 in terms of comfort, but DH rated it 7/10 because it was too firm for him.
We had a lovely view over the city and conservatory.
Simply love the location which is west side of Nara Station. This side is quieter as compared to east. The hotel is clean and comfortable with onsen facility which really have advantage edge. Moreover the room is generously for twin sharing. Also walking distance to the shopping street. The staff are helpful and professional.
The location was ideal to walk to Nara park, and the husband and wife owners (I'm terrible with names 😅) were incredibly warming and open when I arrived, and helped to call a restaurant when I needed to check my booking.
My room was lovely, and this is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in!
The location is amazing, walking distance from Nara train station, as well as a stone's throw away from a lively street filled with shopping, street food, and restaurants. Also a short walk away from the heart of Nara Park and the deer! Decent public bath in the basement as well.
We thought the hotel was really lovely. It had a boutique feel to it and a trendy Japanese interior with beautiful furniture and plants. The breakfast was really nicely presented too. The location for exploring Nara was excellent. The shower in our room was brilliant too!
It’s the feeling of staying in a 100 year old home and experience the Japanese style hotel. The location is very good and easy to locate from the station and near Nara park, it’s all walking distance. I’ve had the best experience in Nara in my stay. Thank you!
Easy check-in although there was no one to welcome us. The automatic luggage storage is quite impressive, too.
It's right next to Kintetsu station, very good location in general to explore Nara.
Big confortable room, very modern hotel.
Nikko hotel is situated right by the side of JR Nara Railway station. There is a bus station right below, plus a huge supermarket, a pharmacy and a walking street with many eateries. Very convenient location.
Location is good, close to Nara Park and many interesting points in Nara. There are many restaurants and bars nearby, also there is a shopping area close to the hotel. The room space is good shaped.
Location was fantastic, 2 minute walk to good restaurants and a short distance to walk to Nara Deer park and other locations. The hotel is beautiful and the view from the room was stunning.
