Recent Reviews in Takao

Hotel Tenpyo Naramachi

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful and friendly staff. The room was quite spacious and cleanly decorated, very comfortable. Public bath was modern and clean, very relaxing."

Onyado Nono Nara Natural Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"very good experience with wondefvul staff"

Piazza Hotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotel of the trip so far. Good size. The shower is great. Not your typical unit you would normally have in a typical hotel"

Novotel Nara

10/10 Excellent

"2 year old hotel conveniently located close to the city hall. Modern and comfortable, quiet as well. The breakfast was consistently crowded but that is due to Silver Week. Really helpful staff. The price of the breakfast was not included for our child and we found it somewhat over-inflated at 23,000 yen per day as a half-price. Would recommend."

Hotel Nikko Nara

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the hotel was elegant. We could not believe how quiet it was given that it's connected to the train station and right at the foot of the street that leads to the park. Great rooms and great location. We would definitely stay there again."

Nara Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property"

Centurion Hotel Classic Nara

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 1 night. The hotel was comfortable, & the staff were so kind & friendly. Direct bus route to Nara Park. Excellent breakfast! Like an amazing good!"

SUPER HOTEL Premier JR Nara Station

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is good service and kind"

HARUYA Naramachi - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favourite place we stayed on our trip so far. It was so quiet and peaceful both in the hostel and the neighbourhood. It’s about a 20 minute walk to get to Nara Park and you’re likely to run into some deer on your way there as they tend to come right into town in addition to hanging in the park. There are laundry facilities and a smoking area in the back garden. Rice porridge is served each morning and there are free and paid beverages available. There was no staff on site due to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, but the autonomous luggage storage and check-in instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be returning in the future!"
