The hotel was beautiful and just outside the entrance to the train station. It was a fun fairly short walk to the park to see the Sika deer and the temples. Lots of shopping on the way up and back and so many restaurants. Rooms were clean and the beds had padding. The pillows were not the buckwheat pillows so it was very comfortable.

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.
