The JW Marriott Hotel Nara is located directly next to the NHK News studio building and tethered to the Nara Prefecture Convention Centre, a truly central and convenient location. In addition, the Nara Prefecture municipal building is directly across the street. The train to Osaka is less than a brisk ten minute walk and the train ride to Osaka is approximately twenty-five minutes. The MiNara shopping mall is less than a ten minutes walk. Inside, you have access to a fully staffed food court, consumer electric store, toy store, chemist/ 100¥ store and so much more. The primary reason to visit the JW Marriott Hotel is the staff; the entire staff was always professional, well dressed, perfect fluency in English and extremely knowledgeable of Japanese culture, history and customs. This is a safe place for non white people! All guests have access to a twenty-four hour sports centre/ weight training facility. The Swimming pool is opened from 8 to 20th hour all week. Moreover, please experience the spa's experienced massage professionals. The restaurants are beautifully designed and decorated with the Nara theme and the food is fresh and delicious. To save money, please prepay for the breakfast package. I will certainly be returning to the JW Marriott Nara.

This particular question is comprehensively not applicable to the JW Marriott Hotel Nara.

This gem may be located a bit further from the main attractions of Nara Park, but it is without a doubt worth the visit. Finally, a truly luxurious five-star hotel. The hotel's delightful aesthetics, incredibly comfortable rooms, outstanding cuisine, and wonderful spa are just a few highlights of the exceptional experience. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the remarkable team of professionals who go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and taken care of. We had the pleasure of returning to Nara after 18 years, and the staff had prepared a thoughtful welcome note and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert dish for breakfast, accompanied by a note. The front desk staff were attentive to our every request, question, and need, always going the extra mile to ensure our satisfaction. They provided us with fantastic suggestions that were off the beaten path, beyond what one could find in travel guides, and their recommendations for local restaurants were top-notch. Additionally, we are immensely grateful that we were able to find refuge at the Marriott Nara during Typhoon Lan. Throughout the entire ordeal, we felt safe and well-cared for. We extend our deepest thanks to the entire team. It was truly heartbreaking to leave, but we will most definitely be returning in the future.

Everything is enjoyable in every aspect; there is absolutely nothing that could be disliked.

The property had a small parking garage in the basement, a beautiful property with delicious meals available at several restaurants on-property, and very comfortable and luxurious room with a clean and spacious bathroom.

No award member credit booked via Booking.com. Also, a hotel representative directed me to park in the conference center parking garage upon arrival (which is connected to the hotel garage). After checking out the next morning, I went down to the hotel parking garage only to find that there was garage door closed and blocking any access to the conference center side of the garage. I spent the next 15-20 minutes taking to different staff around the hotel and conference center. Finally, a staff member cleaning around the conference center gave me directions to enter the conference parking garage through a vehicle entry point where I was able to retrieve my car and make it to the airport on time. It was an unfortunate and inconvenient incident that made our trip a little bit stressful.

A modern & comfortable hotel with excellent facilities. Staff was very friendly and eager to provide the best possible experience. Rooms were large, spotless, tastefully decorated and regularly serviced. Breakfast was excellent with good choice of Japanese and continental food.

Located a bit far from train station but hotel shuttle service was very frequent & efficient.

A beautiful, new property with attentive and friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is tasty and plentiful, as was our dinner at The Silk Road. Do yourself a favor and make sure that you have club access when booking.

No complaints at all!

Staff was attentive and professional. The morning buffet was excellent, one of the best I've had in all my travels to Japan. Shuttle bus was very convenient. Room space, decor and size was execptional.

The room shower had a moldy smell. Hotel lacked the sento amenity that I usually look forward to in Japan.
