Novotel Nara

Very spacious. Took me 30 minutes to walk to the hotel from Nara station. But all in all the hotel was fantastic and so spacious that it felt like I was back in a European hotel. I had a super king size bed that was a nice surprise and lots of room. It felt new and overall my best hotel out of my 3 1/2 weeks stay in Japan so far. Excellent value for money and they do actually have a shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to the station that I didn’t know about - albeit it wasn’t running the day I arrived, I did use it the following day when I checked out to go back to the station. The station by bus was Approx. 10 mins that takes you into town.

Super helpful and friendly staff. We paid for an upgrade so had access to the exec lounge which meant free food and drink between certain hours which as a result kind of paid for the upgrade. Lovely views from both our room and the roof terrace. Parking on site was super handy.

Clean, modern interior and rooms were large and spacious. Short walk to bus stop toward Nara Park and the temples, and conveniently located between 2 train lines for day trips to Uji and travel to/from Kyoto and Osaka. Across the street is a FamilyMart within the library, handy for snacks.

The people were wonderfully friendly and helpful.

Everything was fabulous from right outside the hotel once we had arrive. Staffs were all very friendly , attentive and pro active . Daily housekeeping was great and throughout .Great stay and my boy truly enjoy his stay . Highly recommended hotel to stay.
