Nara Hoteal was part of our longer Japan family trip. The hotel has amazing history (Einstein, Japan Royal family, Vaclav Havel .. and many other dignitaries stayed in the hotel over its long history). Hotel itself by now is bit dated, but it has amazing architecture and it is very traditional with beautiful wooden panelings, great bar and garden restaurant - we liked it very much even if we think that JR (Japanese railway company, which owns the hotel currently) should invest a bit into its refit. carets are dated and airconditioning was really noisy. Location is amazing as well - just next to the Nara deer park, which is major attraction in Nara as the formal imperial city,

Its probably the best place I have stayed as of yet, from my exploration its not really missing anything, a few scars here and there yet they tell a story. some parts need restoration, bath tubs and fittings would be the ones actually 'needed' to prevent rotting through and damaging the foundation via inflation. Other wise its good as is. That is my opinion on the matter, I dont know if there is barrier between the tub and the building if so it can be left alone, if my version of a fix would be remove the rust in a circle, and with new sealant put in a lovely patterns

A lovely sized room in a great location. The negatives were for us that the bed was a bit hard and the bathroom a bit dated. In saying that this is a traditional hotel and has wonderful history. Bar area very comfortable with good atmosphere and attentive staff. We were lucky to see deer on our way to dinner in town and from our balcony on the lowest floor of the new building. This very much made our stay.

The location is excellent and the exterior of the hotel is ok but the inside of the hotel is worn and tired and in desperate need of renovation - particularly for the very high price. Staff friendly but inflexible and mediocre service. Giving The Shining vibes. Not recommended.
