Hilo Hostel is located in Nara, within less than 1 km of Nara Station and 18 km of Iwafune Shrine. The 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests.

The people were really nice. The location was also very good - central location, close to restaurants, convenience stores and walking distance to the train station. I really enjoyed my stay and will highly recommend it. I also got a little souvenir. Amenities were also clean. Thank you for hosting me :)

We only had one Japanese breakfast at the hotel, and I would think breakfast was the only weak link in an otherwise fabulous experience. We were provided with a toaster and cooked or own which well.

Only a 1-minute walk from the east exit of JR Nara Train Station, the modern Super Hotel Lohas boasts a natural hot-spring bath and a breakfast with fresh-baked bread. Rooms offer free wired internet and a video-on-demand system. Free WiFi is available.

I booked the Super Hotel Premier JR Nara Eki only a few days prior to arrival in Nara and I am so glad I did. I was moving around Japan with a bicycle bag and related gear, so the location and convenience of this hotel was wonderful. The staff were very helpful at every turn and the facilities (e.g. laundry) were great. The breakfast was very good and I will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Located across the street from Kofuku-ji Temple, Hotel Neiraku in Nara provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property is situated 5 km from Heijo Palace Ruins, 500 metres from Nara National Museum and 700 metres from Naramachi. The hotel features family rooms.

Basically it's like a nice Airbnb. We liked the spacious, bright and clean room, the location was fantastic, close to the sights and in a silent neighborhood. It was easy and convenient to check-in with the PIN codes. We got many towels. We travelled with our 10-month-old baby, it was absolutely safe for her (except for one window). There were bathrobes and toothbrushes (many), we haven't use them. Soap, shampoo and conditioner was provided. Hint: Aka Tombo is a fantastic breakfast place nearby.

    The building was old and had a great charme. The location was great, not too far from the main attractions but not in the noisy city center (especially at night). 10min on foot to the nearest train station and 15/20min to Nara park. A lot of interesting attractions all around.

    Location was ideal: adjacent to the JR Nara station, yet isolated from the hustle bustle. A well-appointed grocery store was nearby as was a Starbucks located in a historic building. Hotel was similar to other 3-Star accommodations in Japan; compact yet full of modern amenities. Property was recently rebranded as a Spa, yet I didn’t take advantage of low-cost public bathing facility. Having a separate laundromat with microwave and beverage machine were added bonuses. Room had a work desk. WiFi was robust.
