JW Marriott Hotel Nara

Absolute perfection. The amenities, the room, the service... everything and everyone we encountered delivered a 100%. We visited Nara for a day thinking there won't be much else to do. Ended up camping at the hotel because of bad weather and ended up enjoying our stay immensely. Plush robes and great bedding (we didn't use the turndown service, but they offer that daily as well). The pool and jacuzzi were great, and there was also a steam sauna attached with separate men and women's facilities. Had two spa services done and fell asleep during the massage. With all the walking we've been doing, it was fantastic and staff was able to squeeze us in. The breakfast was amazing. So many western and japanese options (we didn't even try half of the offerings). They served us beautiful coffee art and made to order eggs. Loved the green smoothie as well. We only ordered a few things from room service and they were good. What was amazing was how thoughtfully everything was delivered, setup (with multiple condiments, cool towels, plates/cutlery geared for kids) and cleared away. Wish we had stayed longer and will definitely do an extended visit to relax & recoup the next time we come to Japan. We just checked into a 5 star hotel in Tokyo and kid immediately lamented how much nicer the Marriott at Nara was.

Immaculately clean rooms, warm and welcoming staff, and good breakfast selection. The pool and fitness facilities are top-notch, and the complimentary shuttle to the train station adds great convenience. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the afternoon tea was absolutely delightful — a real highlight of our stay.

This hotel is the definition of excellence. The amenities, equipments and facilities are needful and in a good shape. The housekeeping makes a wonderful job to prepare my coming exquisite. Ms. Nakanishi and Chris from the reception were perfect. I felt extremely welcomed on Check In/Out making the process extremely smooth. Ms Yoshihara also responded to my questions instantly without any hesitation, the staff know the job with a well balanced professional and friendly attitude. Amazing, would be definitely be back.
