Kamenoi Hotel Nara

Incredible food, nice open air bath and great karaoke. Rooms are nice and clean and the staff is very nice

Far walk for us and dinner is exotic and different. But absolutely beautiful place. Clean and amazing private onsen. We loved the gift shop and they gave us robes to use. Breakfast buffet excellent. Overall wonderful visit, would recommend and wish i can go again someday.

Delicious and Beautiful dinners here. A bit of a walk from the train station. They serve you breakfast and dinner at the hotel. It is so much food you should skip lunch in the middle of the day. They also offer soup 9:30-1030. I have not tried it because I start dinners late they keep me full. The place has a very nife onsen which includes an indoor bath and an outdoor bath. The train station is a bit of walk - about 10 minutes- but ince you get there it is an easy day trip to Osaka, Kyoto, or Nara park. The rice field area next to the hotel is actually an excavation area for the Nara period Imperial Palace. They are trying to rebuild the palace. It is a very unassuming World Historic Heritage site. It makes for an enjoyable walk around the park day. There are not a lot of tourists here yet. They dont charge for going in anybof the buildings. You should start at Suzaki gate. Yoh can pick up a stamp sheet where you can collect stamps from other sites in the area.

We booked this hotel hoping for a unique traditional Japanese experience. We were very disappointed. The property is old and dated, desperately in need of a refresh. None of the staff spoke any English but, to their credit, they did try very hard to assist us. The location of this property is not good at all if you are looking to see the best of Nara. I would not recommend.
