Best Mid Range Hotels In Nara

If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable to stay without breaking the bank, Nara has a great range of mid-range hotels to choose from. I’ve personally inspected each of these properties.

Hotel Nikko Nara

Nara Washington Hotel Plaza

The Nara Washington Hotel Plaza is a business hotel right on Sanjo-dori Street in the middle of Downtown Nara, a short walk from both JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Nara Station.

Hotel Asyl Nara

With both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms, the Hotel Asyl Nara is a somewhat unusual choice. The large tatami-mat Japanese-style rooms are good for families who need to sleep several people in one room (and who don’t mind sleeping in futons on the floor). It’s not too far from either of Nara’s main train stations.
