Hotel Asyl Nara

I loved this hotel, yes it's dated no denying that but I had a huge room full size bath, the most incredible breakfasts. Staff were lovely especially the breakfast staff, so nice and helpful. The location is terrific 5 mins walk from Nara Station and 10 mins or less from Kintetsu station. They kept my luggage for me after checking out, couldn't be more helpful, I was genuinely sorry to leave here. Incredible value for money

I took a traditional room and it was worth it ! I just stayed one night but it was so fun to experience this kind of room 😊 The hotel is near the JR train station like 10min walk and about 15mim walk from the park 😊 It has a little shop with Shikamaro products, Nara’s cute mascot, and more ! It also has a restaurant, I couldn’t try it because I didn’t book it in advance (2 days before at least) 😅 but I could try the restaurant room for breakfast where you have to remove your shoes at the entrance 😆 The hotel lobby and restaurant have this kind of cosy atmosphere where you feel comfortable. The reception also helps to feel at ease, they’re very kind 😊 ありがとうございます！

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were a decent size and clean. There is a private bath down in the basement and also a public bath which you can book which was really nice. My husband has tattoos so it was nice that we were able to use the private bath. The lobby was very welcoming and cosy. Location was ideal as it was only a short walk from Nara park and the deers :)

We stayed in the maisonette and it was perfect for a small group as it was spacious, was two storeys, and had a small kitchen. It’s charming and has loads of character. There was a cedar bath, which we loved, and a small onsen onsite.

Good breakfast - Japanese style Staff very nice and friendly - they even provided an adaptor to me to help to recharge my appliances. The hotel is quite close to Nara train station and to the bus stop to reach Nara park
