Nara Hotels near Gangoji Temple

What a wonderful experience! Check in was quick, staff were always ready to respond to.
Questions and provide guidance. The hotel was immaculate. The baths were varied and elegant.

We had such a lovely time at Onyado Nono Nara. The breakfast was tasty and well made with local and seasonal dishes. The women’s onsen was spacious, with a really cool indoor/ outdoor layout.

A very nice 4-star hotel with a beautiful interior.
The location is convenient, not far from Nara Park and the city center.

I stayed in this hotel for several nights. Clean, comfortable, friendly/professional staff, great location in terms of proximity to restaurants/cafes/train station.

This place had extremely excellent service, even better than some of the resort type places I went to. Breakfast was a little more pricy but had so many courses that it was absolutely without a doubt

Outstanding historic hotel walking distance to Nara Deer Park. Excellent staff and lovely old world feel. Beds are comfy, rooms are spacious, bathrooms adequate w tub.

I stayed here when I was in Nara for a week back in November. I loved it. The staff was super friendly and the location to the train stations, park and market was perfect.

Awesome perfect Nara stay.
Plus points.
— a very warm sincere welcome at reception, English speaking front staff.

Very convenient location. Next to JR station. Rooms are according japanese standards. Bathroom is a bit small. Free cocktails from 5 to 9 am.

Amazing hotel!
All of service id like 5 star hotel.
Staff are so friendly and helpful.
Room, spring water, free drink bar are so beautiful and organised.
I recommend this hotel for sure!

My family and I booked 2 rooms, both with a private bath inside. Both rooms were spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I can't speak for the food as I had a room only booking but the facilities were were good, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and everything was clean.

Located very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, within 5 minutes. About 15 minutes from Nara JR station, but very easy walk. Hotel lobby was very clean with welcoming staff.

Stayed 2 nights. Room was comfortable & nicely decorated. I had a window I could open a bit.

Our first hotel chain visit and it was a great experience from checking in and out. The machine for checking in and out was amazing and straightforward.

Easy self check in on machines with key cards also issued by machine.

FuFu resorts have always exceeded my expections and FuFu Nara is no exception. Service is excellent from the time you arrived.

Beautiful ryokan with in-room onsen.

The location of this hotel is excellent, only a few minutes walk from the train station. The room is modern and clean and fairly spacious compared to other hotels in Japan.

Great hotel. It’s a bit older so it has that older bit of charm. You’re staying here for the convenience. Extremely easy to get to Kintetsu Nara station.

We stayed here just yesterday, on the last day of our honeymoon in Japan, and it was the perfect way to end our trip.

Lovely traditional ryokan hotel, perfectly located just outside the park. Friendly and kind staff. Comfortable room, beautifully laid out. Everything adding to a wonderful Japan experience. Arigato!

Perfect place to be near Nara park and the shrines. The pond view from the room we had was beautiful. The deer were all over and it was very peaceful. Walkable to great places to eat and shops.

This hotel was the highlight of my three week trip on Japan. I have Marriott status and was lucky to visit at a time where an upgrade was available.

What a treat the Shisui Hotel in Nara is! We went back and forth on whether to spend a night in Nara or just to a day trip. We chose one night at this beautiful luxury hotel and are so glad we did.

📝 “A must-add to your Japan bucket list! ”
🍱 “The Kaiseki dinner and breakfast were absolutely divine.

The hotel is a bit tired, but the staff are very helpful and friendly. They serve happy hours free sake and snack in the evening time. Breakfast is tasty 😋

Wonderful, friendly and incredibly obliging staff, large, beautiful rooms, breakfast that was like a royal banquet! And the most incredible location right on Nara Park.

Exceptional hotel! The room is great, the restaurant is better, the wine list is top notch and the service is truly world class! Feels more like a private home than a hotel.

Hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Staff are professional and focused on service. This hotel is very popular with older Japanese guests. Room is dated but very clean and comfortable.

Next to the JR Nara Station and very easy to access. Beautiful large room and grand view. Having a public bath on the 6th floor is a bonus.

I stayed at Super Hotel JR Nara Ekimae from 4/1/2025 to 4/6/2025. Please don't be confused with the Super Hotel Premier which was adjacent to The Nara Station.

It’s my go to hotel when visit Nara, front desk staff speaks English well & can store luggages before check in. It’s clean & feels like home away from home, minimalist room but efficient & practical.

Really loved the distinctive atmosphere of this hotel. The rooms and grounds have a calm, serene feel.

Simply perfect! Friendly staff, beautiful room, great service, top tier meal with exclusive sake pairing! A beautiful experience!

We loved this place. Of all the hotels in Japan and South Korea that we stayed in on this trip, this might be the best.

Great location, Easy check-in/check-out, clean room and bath, comfortable bed, climate control. Overall great experience!

It was nice to stay — just some random black stuff was almost all over the both beds, which it made some marks on — not sure what it was though. Other than that, it was good to stay.

Our stay in this beautiful hotel was an absolute highlight during our journey through japan. It’s beautiful, simple and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

If you want to stay close to the action, this is the place. Lake and deer adjacent.
However… the hotel rooms look nice but are basically a camper van setup.

Amazing hotel with lots of amenities to borrow and or take, as well as plenty of good products in the bathroom.

Hotel was absolutely beautiful and worth bragging about. Staff were so kind and helpful. Right across from the station and many convenient stores.

Best guesthouse I ever been to staff is very helpfull roots are clean and location is near nara park.

Very clean rooms. The atmosphere is serene and the service was exceptional. I loved my stay.

The best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Japan.
The room was stunning and well equipped, and the staff were exceptionally kind. 5 stars.
