“Pleasant, well located and comfortable accomodation in a very interesting area to explore.”

The location, not far from the station and loop bus, was very convenient. Room and common areas were clean, comfortable and had all the expected amenities. Breakfast buffet offered a good selection of food.

“Spacious comfortable room”

Spacious rooms, onsen on site, close to the station

Good location, lounge access was nice, onsen was nice, room was ok - old design

It was very peaceful and quiet.

Very convenient for all historical sites in Kashihara/Asuka area. Very peaceful.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Grand Mercure Nara. Service is so good. we met a super friendly Taiwanese staff. The hot spring relax my days travel. super recommended.

“Location for Kahihara is good. Close to train station, restaurants and convenience store”

Overall good hotel but may need some upgrade. Bathroom in our room was small!

“Very nice and cost-effective, totally comfortable stay !”

There were many variety of food for breakfast, and delicious. Japanese style room was spacious and comfortable. Of course, public large bath was also exciting and open air bath was additional pleasure.

“Very good”

Very spacious & grand entrance, lobby & common areas that are newly furnished. Right next to the train station, convenient to go to Yoshinoyama. Pretty spacious room Spacious onsen areas with lovely, zen interior decor. There is a nice area with sofas to cool down after the hot onsen. Non-alcoholic sake (supposedly with plenty of amino acids & vitamins) is provided until 10pm. Other drinks also available. Happy hour with many types of alcohol, coffee, tea, water & snacks provided at night. There is even a fridge to keep the glasses cold! Superb breakfast buffet with plenty to choose from. Apart from the usual fare, there are 2 types of smoothies, fresh green salads, Viet pho, soft serve ice cream & beers. They even have a pancake making machine to be eaten with ham, poached egg, cabonara sauce, black pepper & a super yummy guatamalo sauce. Also love the chocolate hazelnut sauce & signature "sunny side up" - a dessert with a red round jelly floating in a white, sweet honey dew sauce. There was no variation over the 3 mornings we ate there, but there is no need to vary cos there are so many choices and all are so appetizing. Very warm & polite staff

Regret staying in this hotel. The room and bedwere dusty. We have to make our own bed. The air cond was not working well, making us feel stuffy and hot during spring. The restaurant served good food though. The onsen were good for this price. The hotel is considered terrible because they do not have ice machine. They served free drinks in lounge but they charged me for ice. No Japanese hotels ever charge customers for ice.

“Fabulous breakfast spread. Location is very convenient to everywhere”

None

“Would definitely stay here again. Great place and people.”

Great location, wonderful staff, thanks for the extra pillows, lots of charging ports, beds very comfy and room was spacioius for Japanese standards. Onsen was lovely. There was a huge buffet, which we enjoyed.

“A very comfortable and welcoming hotel which is brilliantly located a short walk from the main sites”

HAPPY HOUR

Grand lobby, spacious room. Nice lounge with beer and drinks 🥳 all around great!

“A nice short stay enjoying the facilities provided”

Good size room with comfortable bed. The welcome free drinks beer and wine were good and the Onsen too.
