AN-GRANDE Hotel Nara

This hotel, which opened during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a favorite spot to check and enjoy staying at when visiting Nara. It is conveniently located near Kintetsu Nara Station and shopping streets, and within walking distance to Todai-ji Temple and Nara Park.The walls of the rooms are well-insulated, so unless there are guests causing a ruckus, it is very quiet (I have never experienced any noise during my stays). I also appreciate the separate washing area and the spacious bathtub. Amenities such as skincare (DHC), razors, body wash towels, hairbands, and cotton swabs are provided in the room, which is very helpful.The pajamas are simple but comfortable on the skin. The towels are the usual thick ones.This was my first time staying in winter, and the centrally managed heating system was a bit too warm for us, so we turned it off at night, but it was neither cold nor uncomfortable.I particularly like the Superior Twin room, where you can enjoy watching deer grazing from the window during certain seasons, offering a taste of Nara's unique charm. However, this time the Superior Twin was fully booked, so we stayed in a Moderate Twin.The Moderate Twin room faces a main street, but since the hotel is set back a bit from the street, and Nara is not as busy as the city center, it was comfortable for me. However, those seeking complete silence might find it slightly noticeable.I highly recommend this hotel as a base for comfortably enjoying sightseeing in Nara.

This is our second stay as an elderly couple. The location is excellent with good access to Kofuku-ji Temple, the National Museum, and the shopping street. We appreciated the flexible checkout time, which allowed us to enjoy a morning walk. We would like to stay here again next time. Thank you very much.
