The location of the hotel is great, a lot of restaurants nearby and a walking distance from lots of places of interest. The staff was helpful and nice, there were amenities available at the ground floor in front of the elevators, and a laundry room for the guests of the hotel. The room was small but comfortable, the small hall in the corner of the entrance was very practical. The bathroom was also small but had everything we could need. We had a "do not disturb" sign on the door and the staff left a bag with clean towels, clean pajamas and additional amenities and two water bottles, it was truly appreciated!

The best hotel I have ever been to in Japan! Staffs are great, super polite, and helpful. Excellent amenities everywhere are super clean, silent, and comfy. The breakfast is delicious; it is a buffet, but the quality and freshness exceed the expectation, better than many other a la carte. They also gave treats on Valentine's Day free ramen for dinner. The onsen is gorgeous! It has an outdoor onsen, too. The room is quite big for a Japanese standard. This hotel is so good and so fair price that I changed my plans just to extend my stay one more day there.

I loved our stay at Shikitei with its timeless beautiful, excellent service and scrumptious food. I will definitely have to come back! Excellent location - Ryokan is situated right at Nara Park! This traditional ryokan has kept it timeless beauty with breathtaking views. It is well maintained with lots of care. Excellent service from the staff. They were always tucked away but quietly waiting to see if you needed anything. The staff were local and so English wasn’t fluent but there were no communication issues. The welcome tea ceremony was a traditional one. The matcha tea was frothy and slightly bitter served with a small red bean cake sweet. We wouldn’t want to try it anywhere else such a great experience! After this we were brought to our room where there was yet another yummy plum salty tea with small sweet! The room was beautiful with excellent view! The futon sleep with the stiff pillow was so comfy! The Onsen at the ryokan opens early and closed later. The facilities were great with all bath amenities provided. Our stay had half board with kaiseki dinner and then traditional Japanese breakfast. Both meals you will be enjoying a work of visual art and scrumptious melodies of flavours. Beside us were all Japan nationals so you know you are at the right place of their own resident visit for short vacays! Such a magnificent stay! I will definitely return!!!

Just wow. Great room, awesome facilities. The only thing, we had a cockroach outside while enjoying the onsen. It climbed out of the sewer or something and I was terrified to death :)

Our stay at SETRE Naramachi was an extraordinary experience and a genuine surprise, even on a trip filled with incredible places. This hotel exists on another level entirely. It is, in every sense of the word, a masterpiece. From the moment you enter, you are enveloped in its stunning, thoughtful design. Every corner, every material, and every space feels meticulously planned and beautiful, creating a unique and serene atmosphere. The vibe is simply magical. The location is perfect for exploring Nara, and the staff were incredibly gracious, but even the hotel itself can serve as the true destination. Staying for just one night, we were genuinely sad to leave and felt we had only scratched the surface of the tranquil experience it offers.

Best Birthday Gift Ever!!! This property is absolutely beautiful and the location could not be any better. Wake up to the deer right outside your window, and the temples are a short walk from the property. The staff are what makes this place so wonderful, they go above and beyond! This will be the highlight of your vacation.

Came in after 2pm and left on a late bus the following day- wish my bus was a little earlier since there is not much to after 9pm in Nara. Most places are closed and it was a little cold this time of year.

The shrines, temples, deer, and natural setting are a delight. Fellow tourists are not such a delight. I wish there was some attempt by the authorities to control the torture of the deer. It was so dispiriting that I went through minor roads this time just to avoid the spectacle. Happily, I found additional delights off the beaten path.

Nara has a lot going on. Lots of wonderful food, decent shopping and the Park is huge! There is way more to the park that is initially revealed in tourism blogs. We really loved early morning walks thought the park without the crowds. We spent 3 days there, and felt like it was perfect.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan.

Nara is my favorite place in Japan. It has really beautiful natural environment, lovely deer that you can easily see while walking on the street, and very friendly people. It has played a very important role in Japanese history (e.g. Horyuji, Toshodaija, etc. are important world heritage sites), but it does not have that many visitors as Kyoto, which makes traveling in Nara a lot more pleasant than travelling in Kyoto. I highly recommend people to travel to southern part of Nara Prefecture (e.g. Horyuji, Asuka-dera, Tsubosaka-dera, Oka-dera, etc.).

I didn’t check closing times of temples and it was hard to determine the last buses back from further out locations. I did end up having a nice evening walk along a riverside to find a train station to come back into town.

Nara is beautiful.

Nara is beautiful. There are two UNESCO world heritage sites and lots of deer. If you are afraid of animals, I don't recommend it. The deer will follow you if you have food and they may try to take it from you if you hesitate or don't gently push them away. They are not, as a general rule, aggressive. A lot of tourists freak out and just throw their crackers. Don't do that. Stay calm. The deer don't want to hurt you, they just want a snack. They don't care for being pet either. Just snap your crackers (200 yen sold at different stands) into 3-4 pieces, hold out your hand flat and let them take it from you. Be aware of how many are around you. They will surround and nibble your clothing. I found this hilarious. I grew up with cows and they will pretty much do the same thing. Use your voice and be gentle. The one day bus pass is really useful. I wish I had more time in Nara.

I definitely recommend staying overnight in Nara instead of just doing a day trip, there is so much more to explore than just feeding the Deer. It's a beautiful town and the hotel was center location, It has a really cute restaurant on the ground floor and a lovely coffee place a few stops up that had divine coffee. The staff at the hotel were exceptional, and the rooms were clean.

This hotel really exceeded expectations compared to the pictures. The room was lovely and done in the traditional style, the onsen was really the highlight though. It was like a 5* spa experience. We visited another onsen hotel in Hakone but this was far better. The location was also excellent - right next to the station and a short walk from all the main Nara attractions.
