APA Hotel Kintetsu-Nara Ekimae

The hotel is situated close to the Nara park and since its a major tourist place, there are a lot of people even right in front of the hotel, especially after 9 am. The place of this hotel is good for traveling and discovering the beauty of Nara and/or the close by cities like Osaka and Kyoto. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room is a bit smaller but enough for one person, although the lighting can be bad, especially If your window is facing the wall of the building next the hotel, like mine was, thanks to which there is close to none of natural lighting. Amenities were provided Daily. Overall I was satisfied with the service and can recommend it If you plan on staying in Nara for couple of nights.

Google Maps is essential for traveling in Japan! This hotel is in a very convenient location in Japan. I traveled alone, and this was a good environment. The area provides easy access to Nara Park, Todai-Ji Temple, Mount Wakakusayama, food stalls, convenience stores, and more. I took the bus and train, but using Google Maps was easy! I just matched the bus number on the left side of the road and pressed the "stop" button when I wanted to get off. I only used public transportation because it was unnecessary to use anything else! Interesting perks about the accommodation: - 24 Hour Reception - Free Towels, Free Tea/Water - Baggage Storage (Before Check-in and After Check-Out) - Reasonable Check-In and Check-Out time - Friendly Staff (I was also able to exchange money to get coins to operate the laundry) - Room Key - Storage space under the bed - Luxurious feeling for a budget hotel - Good privacy - Common lounge - Easy Checkout - The hotel location is one of the best for exploring top attractions in Nara! I wholeheartedly recommend this budget-friendly hotel to anyone who values a comfortable stay with many amenities and easy travel access. APA hotels are a common sight in Japan, and for good reason: they are a reliable choice for budget-friendly accommodation!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The service was excellent, and the staff was always friendly and attentive. The hotel itself was comfortable and well-maintained, making my experience truly enjoyable. Beyond the hotel, the city is absolutely beautiful. It is a peaceful place with kind, respectful, and noble people who make visitors feel welcome. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay in such a charming and tranquil destination.
