The noisiest APA Hotel I’ve ever stayed in. My room was directly above the street and as the hotel had switched its air conditioning to heat the room was too hot so inside to sleep with the window open. There were people walking past all night long drunk, laughing and talking loudly. Then at 1.30am a group decided to laugh in the corridor. I got no sleep. Wouldn’t stay there again u less they could guarantee a room away from the street.

The air conditioning is on fan mode, as the information on the TV reflected. But that made the room really stuffy. Granted, it's autumn, and weather is cold outside, but having fan mode in an enclosed space is really not conducive for a good rest. We have to keep the window slightly open to regulate the tempreture, which works thankfully. Otherwise, everything else is good!

This APA Hotel is a 5-minute walk to the Kintetsu-Nara station and 8 minutes to JR Nara station. It's also 5 minutes from Kōfuku-ji and Sarusawa Pond (aka Nara Pond), with Nara Park just a little further in.

Surrounding the hotel are shops of all sorts, and restaurants to satisfy any appetite. I will say that the restaurant prices are reasonable, considering the close proximity to tourist attractions.

The hotel also offers laundry machines; perfect for travellers who don't like to bring a lot of clothes with them (like myself).

Overall I was very satisfied with my stay. A much better experience than the APA Hotel in Osaka that I stayed at for part of my trip.

The location is superb so near to the deer park, dining and shopping area. It is only 15 minutes walk to the deer park. The only thing I don't like is to stay in the first floor, the same floor as the lobby and the window is block by the wall.

I discovered they had humidifiers which makes the dry cold winter a little easier. Just ask.

Also, the heating system was a bit confusing but heres my take: leave it off at night or else you're going to be hot. Turn it on during the day.

The staff and cleanliness are top notch. Bring an HDMI cable, or go buy one, and watch movies from your laptop.

A side benefit of the himidifier is that it doubles as an air purifier.

This was a nice hotel in a great location with a good staff. It was nice that they had free movies in English on the TV. Be aware the room is really tight which may be problematic if you have a lot of luggage or may be a bit claustrophobic if you were planning to do any work.

An absolutely great place to stay very affordable close enough to nara park to walk short bus ride to the great Buddha and very very close to the train station for easy transportation and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The room was clean tidy and comfortable zero complainta about my experience here. Front desk was bi lingual and very helpful

The hotel was close to Kintetsu-Nara Station - definitely walkable for anyone. The location of the hotel was on a street that had decent restaurants and a lot of dessert cafes. It was a very centralized location in my opinion. The walk to Nara Park is about 30 minutes. Luggage storage prior to check-in was smooth, no issues. My room was clean and comfortable. The lighting and A/C settings panel was digital, which was easy to use and convenient to control from one location in the room. The wide screen TV was located on the wall in front of the bed which made it very comfortable to watch a movie to wind down at the end of the day. Overall, it was a good first experience at an APA hotel.

Great place! Conveniently close to Nara Park, good restaurants, and within walking distance of the train station from Osaka. Perfect! The hotel is super clean, although the rooms are quite small. However, it upholds outstanding Japanese standards. Love it!

It is in such a convenient location, two blocks away from some major Nara Temples, I was surprised 5 min away from the Hotel, deers are around meeting with Tourists already. As other APA locations, it is very convenient from Kyoto to take Kintetsu Limited Express Train to arrive and leaving same as for Osaka direction. For me, it is a “hidden gem” hotel to stay.

Japan wants tourists but virtually no English spea

Very small room but APA Hotels dependable. No English speakers so if they get us fine, but as in all of Japan they don’t care and only care about their own Japanese speaking people.

Honestly we were surprised by how nice and wonderful this property is! The hotel and rooms are in impeccable condition with plenty of amenities, including self-serve laundry. Everything ran smoothly and efficiency. Checking and check out took less than a minute and the booking was exactly as requested. The A/C unit was powerful enough to cool down the room during the heatwave (August 2023).

The one caveat is that each room is very small. They did a good job making use of the space but does look confining. Since we were traveling as a family, we got connecting rooms which gave us a large space and two bathrooms which was incredibly convinient.

Quick and easy check in and out. And great staff
Location is excellent as well. But room was very small, about the same size as a hotel in Tokyo despite the population of Nara being significantly less. Expected a larger room but otherwise a great place to spend a night in Nara.

The bath room is a little small but for the price it's very good value because you are walking distance to Nara Deer Park and shopping is everywhere. The subway is just round the corner
