Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Nara and overall had a great experience. Although the room was quite small, it was very clean and well-maintained. The toiletries provided were of high quality and felt great to use. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Even though we had some language barriers, they went out of their way to assist us and used translation apps to communicate clearly. We also booked an in-room massage through the front desk — the masseur was an older gentleman with very strong hands, and the massage was incredibly relaxing. It was also reasonably priced at just 1,000 yen per 10 minutes. Breakfast was simple but tasty and convenient, perfect for travelers heading out early. The location is excellent — just steps from the train station exit, which made getting around super easy. The only downside was a slight smell of smoke in the hallway, likely from some guests smoking in their rooms. But aside from that, the hotel provided great value for money and we would definitely recommend it for a short stay in Nara!

初めての奈良でしたが、近鉄駅前なので交通の便が良くて助かりました。 若草山焼きの日だったので、イベント終了時は、交通が人の波でほぼ全面ストップするので、徒歩で帰るほかありません。 あの混雑から推考すると、奈良駅周辺の宿泊でないと、京都など近郊に帰るのにすごい混雑の列車に乗ることになり、悲惨な状況になっていたと思います。

近鉄奈良駅すぐです。 ただ、JRを利用する方には少し遠いですが、観光地にも近いので、奈良公園辺りを観光する人には便利だと思います。 朝食込みでの宿泊ですが、他のホテルと比べても安いと思います。 最近の他のホテルではフロントにスタッフの方がいない事が多いですが、ここは常駐している事が多く、結果的に安心出来ます。
