Top Sakurai Hotel Reviews

Novotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"2 year old hotel conveniently located close to the city hall. Modern and comfortable, quiet as well. The breakfast was consistently crowded but that is due to Silver Week. Really helpful staff. The price of the breakfast was not included for our child and we found it somewhat over-inflated at 23,000 yen per day as a half-price. Would recommend."

Hotel Nikko Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the hotel was elegant. We could not believe how quiet it was given that it's connected to the train station and right at the foot of the street that leads to the park. Great rooms and great location. We would definitely stay there again."

Nara Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property"

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"朝ごはんがとても美味しかったです。お風呂上がりのアイスが嬉しい。"

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nara Natural Hot Springs

"The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was okay, with a lot of Japanese food. Overall, I had a good stay."

Piazza Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Close to transportation options. Average sized rooms"

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

8/10 Good

"This is a good hotel, but I would not reccomend it for occidental travellers. Pros: Convenient walkable location. Very spacious and clean room. Convenient lunch/coffee room with free coffee, water, ramen and teas. Japanese breakfast delivered to room (no option for continental breakfast). Need to schedule breakfast time. Coin laundry machine in basement (just 1). Japanese Spa (did not use it) Cons: Very uncomfortable japanese mattress. Shower stays on for 30 sec at a time (need to keep pushing the handle to restart - not terrible / just inconvenient) Noisy in the middle of the night. The Starbucks downstairs gets a vehicle around 4 am and it gets loud moving stuff for a about 20 min. The nearby temple gong sounds 6 times at 6 am. There are no curtains. There is too much light in summer mornings after 6-7 am. The TV is very old. no possibility to beam your device or use apps like Netflix. Bring an HDMI cable if you want to connect your laptop."

Centurion Hotel Classic Nara

"We stayed for 1 night. The hotel was comfortable, & the staff were so kind & friendly. Direct bus route to Nara Park. Excellent breakfast! Like an amazing good!"
