Top Sakurai Hotel Reviews

Piazza Hotel Nara

8/10 Good

"Located basically attached to the main Nara train station, and walkable to the main area with lots of food and shopping options. You can walk to Nara Park from here but it’s a bit far if you aren’t up for a good walk. Staff was ok based on limited interactions, this hotel was good for a place to crash after being out and about, and nice and close to the train station."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"Was a nice place to stay. Free midnight Ramen was a cool addition too!"

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful and friendly staff. The room was quite spacious and cleanly decorated, very comfortable. Public bath was modern and clean, very relaxing."

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."

R HOTEL RE.OSAKA NAGAI PARK

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean room and wonderful spa facilities. Very friendly and kind staff too."

Amami Onsen Nanten-en

10/10 Excellent

"Superb place. Big pool and Onsen. Excellent food service and amenities. Small scenic town just be careful as not all trains from Osaka stop at this station."

Hotel Nara Sakurai No Sato

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, amazing hotel - the rooms were clean, well appointed - live the bathrooms setup - bed super comfortable. We ordered breakfast for the second night - yummy Japanese meal set. This was our favorite hotel in our stay, well appointed hope to return. You need a car because it is remote from public transport, plenty of free parking at the same level as hotel. The staff was wonderful! This place is well worth a journey!"
