Best Hotels in Nara Prefecture for 2025

"Schönes Hotel, etwas abseits vom Zentrum, aber gut gelegen. "

"Die Unterkunft liegt 50 m vom Anfang der Doutonburi Street - also strategisch nicht verkehrt. Das Hotel ist ein Massenbetrieb mit Selbst-Einchecken und Selbst-Auschecken am Eingang. Das Zimmer war recht klein und, da es Samstagabend war, zu teuer. Das Zimmer müffelte nach Fußschweiß, als ob ich mir seit Monaten die Füße nicht gewaschen hätte. Das Frühstück war gut und wie immer eine Masssenabfertigung. Gut war es, das Gepäck problemlos für einige Stunden deponieren zu können. Der Rest lief wie üblich reibungslos. "

"We had a wonderful stay at Hankyu Respire Osaka! The location couldn’t be better—right outside the main exit of the train station with a convenient sky bridge to Yodobashi department stores. It’s incredibly easy to get around with public transportation nearby. Check-in and check-out are fully automated, which makes the process smooth and efficient, but friendly staff are always on hand to assist if needed. The rooms, while small (as expected in Japan), are thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities you might need. If you need extras, replacements are easily available on the lobby floor, which is located on the 9th floor. One of the highlights was the view from our upper-floor room—it was stunning! Another convenience is the 24-hour convenience store right downstairs, accessible via the elevator to street level. A major plus for us was the luggage delivery service. We sent two large bags to Kyoto for about €30, and they were waiting in our room upon arrival. It made the transfer so smooth and stress-free. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Japan never ceases to impress us with its safety, convenience, and the kindness of its people. Hankyu Respire Osaka truly reflects that spirit. Highly recommended!"
