Overall Ratings & Reviews Kasuga Hotel

Truly wonderful experience. The outdoor bath was a gem and the staff treated us exceptionally well. A warm, welcoming environment. Highly recommend.

Like walking into a 70s movie. Dirty carpets and terrible (western) breakfast did not match the price point. Nice staff and location are indeed a plus but not nearly enough to warrant a return visit.

Position - close to Nara Park. Close to numerous restaurants. Very limited English support but staff only too pleased to try and help. The rooms were spacious and clean. Memory foam type mattress on the floor which was not the most comfortable. There is a small coffee shop area in the reception but no evidence of a bar or other additional area in which meet and have a drink. The highlight of our visit and one reason for choosing were the 'hot spring baths' - whilst public most time we were the only people there. Male and female areas. I would recommend but with Olympics looming they could do with reviewing multilingual information. Overall would recommend

Location are convenient to subway station and walking street,nara park. Hotel staff are very friendly,just breakfast are not choice.

The hotel is next to the Park where the deers roam free and an Art Exhibition is in the park. I was very satisfied with the staff. The onsen was the reason why we picked the hotel, and definitely worth it. This hotel also had a huge bathroom, my bathroom experience was awesome. Because the bathrooms have been very small.

Ryokan is perfectly located near Nara Park and the major attractions. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Public bath on first floor with both indoor and outdoor warm soaking pools (separate men's and women's) was delightful! Room was Japanese style with tatami flooring and futon/duvets for sleeping. Buckwheat pillows a little firm, but still slept like a log! Recommend highly!

This is maybe ( I am quite sure though) the best hotel I have ever been to. Wonderfully located (the 5 story pagoda is maybe 100 meters away...), wonderful service, beautiful and comfortable room. In-house beautiful onsen. Incredible breakfast (we had our table prepared with variety of dishes in a private alcove ! Surely not overpriced for its quality. Bravo !

So happily shocked at the large size traditional Japanese room. They even have a liitle kids amenities bag for my daughter and multiple bags of free snacks in the room. Public bathhouse was also large and mostly vacant. Location is right across the street from the Kintetsu Nara Station. I only wished we stayed more than 1 night.

Location is prime. Next to Nara Park n also train station.

Excellent location, next to Kintetsu Nara station. Room was large with nice amenities. Definitely recommend to stay.

A pleasant stay, but the staff could have been more welcoming.

The Kasuga Hotel is a true Japanese Ryokan experience: gracious hosts, beautiful Japanese rooms with tattami matts and futons to sleep on, real Japanese breakfast (there is a choice of Western breakfast also) and the best part: the onsen, the baths. There are indoor and outdoor baths with bubbling water, a garden stream with little waterfalls and a lovely shrine. It is the best way to start or end your day. Everything is impeccably clean. The Kasuga Hotel's location is also perfect. You are within walking distance of all the major sights and right around the corner from a nice shopping area with lots of restaurants. We stayed here four nights and count the Kasuga Hotel as one of the best we stayed in during our trip to Japan.

This was our first time in Nara and the location could not have been better! It was right at the entrance to the park, the shopping arcade and train station were less than a block away and they had parking (we had a car). We stayed in a Japanese style room and our room was clean and large. For a family of 5, we had plenty of space! We loved the onsen, especially the outdoor bath and the food was delicious! The staff spoke English and very friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice surprise. Spacious room with all the comforts. Spotlessly clean bathroom and toilet. Great location 300m to station and buses. If you are after the perfect Japanese style accommodation you won't get better than this. Staff are friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble,wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel/ryokan is truly outstanding. Exceptionally nice staff, many have perfect English. Our tatami may traditional room was amazing. Well supplied bathroom. The breakfast each morning was tasty and quite filling. It was only a 10 minute walk to the shrines, temples and park.

I didn't really think about where this hotel was located when I booked it. It's quite far from any city center (but, easily reachable on the bus from the train station). It's really not catered to American/European tourists, though. It's really for Japanese families that are getting away for the weekend etc. We had a TERRIBLE ramen meal in the little noodle shop in the lobby--- don't eat there!!!! The baths were fine; and, the traditional Japanese room was fine, too. It was ok; but, I would never stay at this hotel again.

This was a real treat. The staff could not do enough to help us. Breakfast was either Japanse or Western. Service with a smile!

It was very convenient with the Kintetsu Nara station near by and next to the Nara park. The room was big and spacious and the service was very good. The public baths were varied and spacious and the outside baths were great! It was very nice to come back to the room with Japanese tea and sweets waiting for us. It was also great to come back to a room with our futon beds made. There was a coin laundry and a cute store in the lobby. We loved the yukata and tabi socks set with haori PJs, and the creams and lotions in the bathrooms were very nice.

location was great as it was just beside the nara train station. Staff was very courteous and made you feel welcome. Like the public bath which comes with an outdoor bath as well! Advice, don't pay for the dinner or breakfast, you get much better value for money if you eat at the eating places at the nara station.

Booked over the net and didn't realise it was a ryokan hotel. Everything was exceptional. Located next to the major park/tourist attraction of Nara, very short walk to Nara station and the BEST onsen I have found so far. Staff were as you expect good staff to be without being over the top. Absolutely brilliant! Don't go there this hotel is all mine!!!!
