Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae

The location is top notch. The hotel is just in front of major buses station and the KINTETSU NARA Station. At less than one minute, there's a convenience store, a bus information center and a shopping mall (Daiso, plenty of souvenir shops, restaurants, etc.). Still next to the hotel there's a parking where you can store your luggage for 500 yens/day in case you are leaving Nara in the middle of the night. Also, the hotel will gladly keep your luggage for free before your check-in time. And the breakfast is top!

Very good staff, very good location.

Very close to Nara Park which is important.

Very clean and has many amenities

The staff were very friendly and even though my japanese is a bit poor to say the least the staff were patient with me and constantly tried to explain things in ways i would understand without the need of resorting to english.
