Everything. I like that you have to leave your shoes at the entrance of the hotel so you can wear their slippers and robe anywhere in the hotel. There’s a gentleman at the entrance who was very helpful to my boy with special needs when he had difficulty leaving his shoes at the entrance. Great customer service. The hot spring was simply lovely and relaxing that we decided to use it for all 3 days. The hotel also has extra surprises for a foodie like me. Location wise, it’s right next to Nara station so it was really convenient for us. The deer park is just a short bus ride away. Lastly, we opted for the hotel’s japanese breakfast and it was delicious!! Still thinking about it now. :) While it’s pricier than the other hotels we stayed in throughout our trip, it was well worth it.

The staff was really great helpful and very nice. They helped me ship things I had forgotten to my new hôtel. It was perfect. The guesthouse is very close to both train stations but remain super quiet despite the location. Very close to the park and many restaurants.

We had an amazing stay! The staff’s 5-star service made us feel incredibly welcome. The room was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped, and the hotel’s authentic Japanese atmosphere was truly special. The onsen was a fantastic experience, perfect for relaxing. The location is excellent—right next to Nara Park, just a 10-minute walk to the station, and surrounded by great food and shops. A huge thank you to the staff for their honesty—we accidentally left an iPad in the room, and they quickly found it for us. Everything about this hotel was exceptional. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and convenience—highly recommended! We wish to come back next time with our parents.

Novotel Nara is a lovely hotel. Our room was spacious although not much space for clothes. It however had everything else you needed. I lovely the onsen area and massage chairs we could use. The staff were very helpful and was lovely how they decorated the room for my husbands birthday.

We had a little problem during check in as the room was not ready and they couldn’t let us know at what time it would be. In the end we got the room 1 hour later than check in time however the manager went above and beyond to compensate us for it. He was very kind and understanding, and the staff working there too, everyone was very lovely and kind! The room is amazing!!!!! The bathtub in the balcony is big and the room is very big and clean, the facilities are wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay here, we would love to come back to this hotel in a future travel to Japan. I would recommend anyone to skip 1-2 days in Osaka or Kyoto and book this hotel instead of the day trip to Nara. We really appreciated the break from the big cities to relax in this amazing hotel in Nara. The restaurant is also to die for! Everything was delicious!! We would like to thank you all the staff, specially the manager and the chef, for our amazing stay here. Thank you ♥️

It felt like a sanctuary in the city of Nara, with our own personal Japanese garden and a traditional room. The staff were so accomodating and the food at the restaurant was amazing. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a traditional Japanese experience.
