AB Hotel Nara

Very close to the Nara JR station!!

Location is great.Tourist information office is less than a five minute walk. Bus service available is in the same location. A bus rote takes you to the main tourist attraction Nara Park Staff is unavailable during the night. Room cards allow entry into the building

Decent sized room, next to the station. Friendly staff.

Very helpful people

Convenient place right next to the train station, nice and quiet, good quality, nice staff

This is a very clean and comfortable hotel. Very well located adjacent to the station, it is central for all destinations in Nara. Thankyou for your comfortable and quiet accommodation and the excellent breakfast provided at no extra cost.

A drab and beige hotel, with mediocre to bad food and completely non-English speaking staff. Good location but that’s literally all that it has going for it. Way too expensive for what it offers. Would not stay there again.

Meh, we felt very judged walking in with our backpacks. Mindy shocked we had a reservation, obviously don’t get many none wheelie bag guest. Breakfast was ok but if you don’t like Japanese food you’ll struggle. Room was ok, easy walking distance to everything.

The staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. They had a spa which was really great after a days of sightseeing. The hotel is right next to the station, and you could walk to the main tourist sights. Great location.

Great service, awesome people, would stay here again!

Amazing location right next to the JR Nara station, clean, modern furnishings, excellent buffet breakfast, restaurants around

The position of the hotel is excellent, near the station and bus depot. Its an easy walk to town for restaurants and shipping. The staff were friendly and helpful. and the breakfast was delicious.

It's a new hotel in front of JR Nara Station (in a secondary street), so has many local bus lines. The hotel is very clean and spacious. Like most Japanese hotel, it provides a small spa too.

Breakfast was very good.

It was a pleasant experience.

Amazing value for money close to the station. Very lovely reception at the front desk too.

Location of this hotel couldn't be better: just steps away from Nara JR station. The staff were friendly and accommodating, although their English skills are not particularly strong. The breakfast buffet was good (though very much to a Japanese palate), the room was clean, and check in and out was quick and easy. The biggest surprise is that while I made a reservation for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child), the room had one double bed! Needless to say it was a very tight squeeze for all of us, and there is no way a cot could've been added to the room. We were also somewhat shocked to see that people with tattoos would be asked not to use the sento (public bath/spa). It seems a rather outdated rule in 2018, particularly if being open to an international clientele. That said, I'd stay there again, but would definitely ensure we booked a larger room.

A few steps to nara station and close to nara activities, including the deer park. Friendly helpful staff and varied breakfast.

The hotel was comfortable and close to the JR train line

Very nice place. The bed is comfortable, the shower worked great, it was quiet and conveniently located right by the train station. Desk staff was as helpful as they could be given a language barrier. One of them used a google app to try to explain things to me by having it change what he wrote into English. Breakfast was full of options, both Western and Japanese, and very tasty. There was an option for an onsen, but I spent the evening instead focusing on doing laundry. Their machines work well, and one machine both washes and dries afterward! About the only thing I didn't like was a strange smell in the bathroom that was like someone had eaten Japanese food and it was still there. Despite having the fan running, it hung around. I don't know where it was coming from, because everything was very clean. I would stay here again.
