Great value, large, well-located hotel near Nara Station with spacious rooms.

A large hotel located around a 10-minute walk, one station before the main Nara station, featuring slightly dated but still impressive and luxurious interiors, including a striking waterfall beside the dining area, golden railings, and plush carpeting. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing clear explanations of the facilities at check-in. Rooms were generously sized, with comfortable beds and pleasant views over a small shared garden. The hotel also had a very large and convenient coin laundry area, which was particularly useful during the trip. Nearby, there were local bars and restaurants, as well as the Heijō Palace Site Historical Park, which was also good for an early morning run.

We won’t be staying again; nor recommending the hotel to anyone.

The onsen is the problem. The information on booking.com and on the hotel website states “pleas be aware that we allow people with tattoos to use the onsen”. Which is a pretty clear warning to people who don’t like tattoos, explaining that tattoos are ok in the onsen. Actually. They aren’t. You have to cover them with a sticker. Which if you have one small one. Is ok. But not if you just cannot cover the tattoos that you have. In that case; you can’t use the onsen. The onsen is really the only reason to stay in the Nara Royal hotel. So. I think the information on booking.com needs changing. I have complained to the hotel about this, but got no reply. Hence my reviews.
