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.

Fantastic experience for staying at Novotel Nara. They provide shuttle bus service to and from Nara park and JR station, plus 5 mins walk to the nearest shopping centre and “ROUND one” which is a great place for children and adults. Nice public bath and kids play area inside the hotel, massage chairs at 2nd floor. Clean and reasonable size of the rooms. I will come back again next summer.
