Smile Hotel Nara

The place is nice, and has great wi-fi, luggage storage, and air conditioning. I remember how the staff helped me return my forgotten hairbrush during my first stay. I highly recommend it!

We were in a marvellous and perfect location approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Nanto Bank Head Office. The staff was affable and amicable, everything was great...

the location was good, short walk to an excellent tourist information centre, the train station and a 10 minute and nara park and the train station. some of the staff members were very very helpful.

The location was perfect, just a short walk from the Nara Station and nearby restaurants. The staff were friendly, providing excellent service and helpful recommendations. The amenities, including luggage storage and clean facilities, were great.

The room was quite small.

The rooms are great value for money with nice beds and smoke detectors. A bathroom is equipped with a tub. The location is nice, 1 mile from Naramachi.

Nice view, good breakfast options with many great selections to choose from, Western food. Cheap and well-organised room, large bathroom. Favourable central location, very close to the train station where there is an excellent tourist information centre.

The staff can easily provide luggage assistance and information.

I felt disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. There were dust bunnies in the corners, made me question the overall hygiene of the space. The bathroom had an unpleasant sewage smell, which really affected my stay. I expected more for the price I paid.

Good location, staff rude.

convenient, convenient, convenient

I found the room great location just steps away from the train station. The kindness of the staff impressed me, as they were always eager to assist. The room's cleanliness and the availability of useful amenities, like a kettle and fridge, added to the comfort of my stay.

do recommend 😊❤️

The location near Nara JR Station is highly convenient for both travel and accessing local attractions. The staff provided exemplary service, assisting with queries and recommendations. The room was clean and well-equipped with all necessary amenities, contributing to a productive stay. The view overlooking Nara added a special touch to my experience.

Polite staff, great air conditioning. Wish the wi-fi was faster for streaming.

The Double Room was cozy and well-maintained, with all the basics covered. I liked the little retro charm it had. The amenities were solid, and it was nice to have the option for a Japanese or Western breakfast. The view from my room overlooking Nara was a bonus! Just remember, the space might feel a bit tight if you're used to bigger rooms, especially if you're tall.

I stayed for 1 night and was surprised by how spacious the room was—it really felt comfortable for a business hotel. A great deal at ¥6000 with decent amenities, though it wasn't pristine. I'd definitely consider staying here again!

central spot with easy access to nara's top attractions

The hotel is just a few steps from the station. I loved the cleanliness of the room and the friendly staff.

Great air conditioning and tv, but wished for better wi-fi signal.
