Centurion Hotel Classic Nara

The location near Nara’s tourism area is good, but the drinking water setup wasn’t great. There’s a water dispenser, though it’s only available from 1400 to 2200, and there’s just one microwave.

The station is right across the street, with plenty of convenient stores nearby, and getting to Nara park or different parts of Osaka is easy. The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful, definitely worth bragging about, and the staff were kind and helpful. I’ll stay here again.

There are a few table games on the first floor that were great for younger kids. Adults can try the foot spa, though it was filled with small balls instead of water. Our room was relatively large, the bed was comfortable, and the facilities covered what we needed.

For the price, the rooms are spacious and very affordable. It’s about an eight-minute walk from Exit 7 at Kintetsu Nara Station. The front desk can help in English, and downstairs there’s complimentary coffee, green tea, hot water, and a few card games for guests.
