It feels like you are in the countryside…but a covered shopping street is only a five minute walk away. Spacious accommodations, excellent staff; great food, a truly wonderful place. Would return in an instant.

Very simple and nice accommodations….A super wow experience at the restaurant for dinner! Best of our trip….innovative and superb preparation by a very young staff. Attention to detail x 100!! Lots of kind interactions with same young staff. Very friendly. Would return in a heartbeat…

Disliked: Amenities
Not bad, but not worth the money. We stayed at other ryokan/hotels on our trip around the same price range that were next level. The only highlight at Nipponia was the sake. Their room and food would have been acceptable at half the price. I recommend you stay elsewhere and only drop by for some sake tasting.

Avoid

Don't stay here. Nipponia Hotell refused to allow us to cancel during Typhoon Hagibis. This hotel claimed that we did not contact them ahead of the typhoon which is untrue. The Hotels.Com website team spoke to Nipponia Hotel Nara and the hotel refused to be reasonable.

ロケーションがよく、歩いて回れるので便利です。古民家の風情が素敵で日常から離れるには 最高の場所です。スタッフも親切で気持ちの良い滞在ができます。少し残念なのは、古民家ならではの壁の薄さ、二階の足音や隣で子供がはしゃぐ音が聞こえる点です。レストランは美味しく地元の食材が使われていて、奈良満喫。デザートも絶品でした。朝食は和食が絶対にお勧め、洋食は少しがっかりで、今後が期待されます。

Boutique hôtel ne regroupant que 8 chambres toutes différentes de style japonais. Accueil personnalisé de très bon niveau tout en simplicité et douceur. Très belle expérience pour laquelle il faut toutefois mettre le prix
