“The Nara Royal's unassuming exterior hides a comfortable, culturally-aware experience. I particularly appreciated the traditional onsen - a genuine highlight after a day exploring nearby temples like Toshodai-ji. While not ultra-modern, the hotel offers a restful, and conveniently located, base for exploring Nara's rich history.”
