Guest Reviews
- Xavier (10/5): The highlight during my trip to Nara was not the deer, but the experience I had staying in Ando Hotel - The property provides amazing view, service was impeccable and staff is very thoughtful with their suggestion for stargazing and private bath time slot. Dinner and breakfast was amazing as well Nothing that we disliked
- Say Keong (9/5): -
- Jane Fang (9/5): 很棒的旅店 - 夜景很美，早晚餐很棒，服務人員和藹可親熱於助人 露天風呂有濃厚氯的味道
- Nobue (5/5): 差し引きゼロ - ロビーの香りはとても心地よかったです。 星空ツアーはお天気に恵まれ、良い企画だと思いました。 エレベーターを降りてからさらに階段があること。荷物を持っての階段は苦痛でした。 チェックインの際の部屋の説明に齟齬があり、とても不安なきもちになりました。 ２階のエレベーター付近は、カビ臭い（古い建築の臭い）が気になります。 露天風呂の大きさとか洗い場とか、利用する設備の説明がきちんと欲しかったです。
- jose (10/5): - El hospedaje es espectacular en todos los aspectos
- Cystal Chu (10/5): -
- MARI (9/5): 日本らしさ、奈良らしさを感じる素晴らしい宿 - 夕食がとてもおいしかった！大和野菜を使った料理は、どれも上品で繊細。全ての料理ひとつひとつに、出汁が豊富に使われていて、関西の出汁文化を感じる良い経験になった。香りを愉しむ料理もあり、素晴らしい。 ワインの種類も多く、ブリュットも手頃に飲めたし上品な料理とよくマッチしていた。 食通の韓国から来た友人を招待するのに、選んだホテルだったが大正解！友人も美味しいと感動していた。 部屋や共有スペースはリノベーションされており、綺麗。 また、モダンで日本らしさもあり、良かった。 リノベーションがされていない部分の古さがやや気になる。また大浴場へ行くまでの廊下が、尋常じゃないほどのカビ臭さで驚いた。換気面での工夫が必要だと思う。

- Serena (9/5): -
- YOSHIUSUGU (10/5): 最高 - ロケーション最高 食事も美味しかった 部屋掃除イマイチ
- Tatsuya (8/5): 4月から運営が変わったそうですが、明らかに前回よりもクオリティが落ちていました。 - 今回2回目の利用でした。前回同様夕食が美味しかった。 朝食のランクが下がっていたこと。 貸切風呂の温度が高すぎたこと。 前回美味しかったプリンがなくなっていたこと。
- CHU CHUN (10/5): 非常放鬆 - 這個飯店真的超級棒，晚上有山頂夜景觀星活動，夜景很棒，觀星的話光害太嚴重了，大廳還有篝火可以烤棉花糖，晚餐是吃創意料理，有個人溫泉可以預約，建議早上約一次晚上約一次，可以體驗不同的風景 自行開車來會遇到若草山的收費處，如果飯店有在那邊多放一個說明就好了
- Roman (8/5): - Zimmer, Lage, Angebot, Bar, Essen hervorragend Das Essen war, als rein japanisches Abendessen und Frühstück, für unsere Kinder ziemlich eine Herausforderung.
- Elke (10/5): - Das Menü und der Service waren exzellent, insbesondere das vegetarische Menü war hervorragend.
- joyce (9/5): This is a lovely and reasonably priced hotel - The hotel was lovely and situated on the top of a mountain overlooking the city. The staff were helpful and friendly. The meals were well prepared and included in the room charge. It was very reasonably priced with nice amenities. No complaints
- Liam (10/5): -
- Stephan (10/5): - Wunderbar!

- Koki (7/5): -
- Sangmi (1/5): 4 months waiting for promised partial refund, still not received. - We were promised a partial refund, as the hotel explained it aligns with their policy and agreed to issue it. However, I have not received it for the past four months, and my messages are being ignored.

- Doris (10/5): Luxux in Nara - Die Lage am Hügel mit einem unglaublichen Blick über die Stadt! Das Zimmer war groß und bequem mit zwei großen Betten ausgestattet. Die Einrichtung im japanischen Stil, aber mit allen Annehmlichkeiten der modernen Welt. Die Nutzung der privaten Onsen gut eingeteilt, alle im Freien und ebenso mit Blick über Nara. Die Lage ruhig, wir haben fantastisch geschlafen und am Morgen weckte uns Vogelgezwitscher. Das Frühstück und Abendessen sind im japanischen Stil. Man kann aber gegen geringe Aufzahlung Teile ändern. Das habe ich sehr angenehm gefunden. So kann man mehr ausprobieren.

- Catherine (10/5): -
- Yuka (10/5): - 食事も美味しく、星空ツアーなど工夫された色々な企画があり楽しめました。子ども用のおもちゃの部屋もありました。
- Yoji (6/5): - 景色。 ただ電線が邪魔でした。 もともと日本旅館だったせいか、段差などバリアーが多い。 部屋が寒さを感じる、とくにトイレなど。

- Hayato (10/5): 大人の隠れ家的で良かった - 綺麗 夜景バッチリ 露天風呂がもう少し
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional calm quiet escape. Excellent value for money. - I travelled with my elderly mom (77) and sister to Japan for celebrate my sister's 50th birthday. The Ando Hotel Nara exceeded our expectations. The Ando Hotel, is a wonderful quiet place, away from the beautiful but busy town of Nara with its charming population of deer. We found the hotel be excellent value for money. Our room rate included an exceptional 5 course Kaiseki dinner, transfers to and from the from the train station, a complimentary night tour to see the deer and view over Nara, Japanese breakfast, smores, complimentary drinks by the fire place and a private sunset onsen bath. This hotel is a 5 star plus plus, with beautiful calm rooms, thoughtful, kind, highly professional staff and beautiful views over Todai-ji Temple and Nara. Exceptionally professional staff add to the calm quiet ambiance of this hotel. The dinner was exquisite, the best meal we had in Japan and it is served in an elegant restaurant with a view over Nara. The kind and professional staff explained each seasonally inspired dish which was beautifully presented. My sister is vegetarian and I contacted the hotel prior to our stay and they were very accommodating. Thank you to Mayuko who served us at dinner and presented us, with a beautiful kind hand written note (in English) on our departure. The hotel is a short taxi drive from the centre so we used a taxi to visit Todai-ji temple first thing in the morning. We only stayed one night and wished we had stayed longer. If you are flying into or out of Osaka to visit Kyoto I highly recommend this hotel at the beginning of your trip to ease into Japan or as a post Kyoto stay. Thank you to all the staff who worked so hard to make our time so special.

- Chee Kiat (10/5): Excellent! - Rooms were well appointed, and staff were very helpful. Dinner was good. Public onsen was a bit cold, nut there is option of private onsen
- jou chun (10/5): - 五樓客房的景色。使用在地食材、精緻設計的餐食。 無
- jou chun (10/5): - 舒適的接待，很喜歡的室內香氛，還有免費的屋頂露天私人湯屋可以使用。餐點也非常的精緻美味。 沒有
- Hideaki (10/5): 大変満足でした。 - 食事は独創性もとてもありおいしかった。 フロントの人数が少ないように感じた。
- YURI (8/5): - 眺めが良かった。 大浴場に露天風呂が無いこと。 朝御飯が手作り感無い。味噌汁なんて特に。 奈良なんだから粕汁くらい出してほしかった。 できあいのものばかりで残念だった。
- Maximilian (10/5): I hope to visit again. - The hotel exceeded my expectiations. A gorgeous location in the park of Nara. Beautiful rooms and delicious food. I hope to visit again.
- Erika (10/5): - The room itself was gorgeous with the panoramic view. The staff was very nice and the meals were great (although breakfast was challenging for us and our western pallet). Dinner was spectacular. There were some bugs that got inside our light fixtures (under the paper cover) which were a bit noisy (large beetles but harmless). You also have to pay attention to the shuttle because the way up to the hotel is not for pedestrians.

- kaori (9/5): - ご飯がとても美味しい ちょっと変わったメニューがとても美味しかった！ 部屋の段差が多くて、夜のお手洗いなどお年寄りは躓く可能性あり
- 稲田 (10/5): 最高の宿でした☺️ - お料理も美味しく、サービスも最高でした😀ロケーションも、今まで沢山のホテルに泊まりましたが、1番でした！ 冬の露天風呂は、少し寒いかも、、、シャワー室と、脱衣室が繋がっていたら良かったかなと思いました。
- SHINYA (8/5): -
- sarah (9/5): Great stay with an amazing position - Food Hard pillows !
- Simona (10/5): - The view was amazing. Dinner was spectacular. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was an absolutely lovely stay. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. The couches near the fireplace were stained and dirty.
- Angela Tessa (10/5): Atemberaubendes Hotel mit Ausblick, Kulinarik und Top-Service - Einer der schönsten Hotels, die ich je besucht habe. Der Ausblick ist atemberaubend und unbezahlbar. Das Essen übertrifft jede Erwartung und ist eine wahre Kochkunst sowie ein Geschmackserlebnis. Das Bad auf dem Dach ist einfach spektakulär. Ein riesiges Lob an das Personal – besonders freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ideal für Familien mit Kindern. Absolut empfehlenswert!
- jeroen (9/5): Beste tot nu toe in Japan - Gastvrijheid Ontbijt
- Naomi (8/5): 素敵な旅になった。 - 自然に囲まれて空気が良かった。 料理が工夫されていて美味しかった。 スタッフが皆親切だった。 イベントが用意されていて楽しかった。 建物の老朽化。 少し内部の傷みがあった。 露天風呂のシャワーの出が悪かった。
- hinojosa (10/5): La mejor experiencia de Japón. - Todo. Es un lugar para relajarse . Extendimos una noche! Tiene opciones de baño en el roof con tina y programamos masaje despues del paseo. ! Genial el lugar para consentirse, tiene servicio de transportación a la ciudad en diferentes horas.... lo mejor de mi viaje .
- Betzaida (10/5): - Clean room Comfortable beds Beautiful decor and furnishings Staff was super friendly and helpful
- Francisco (9/5): Heel vriendelijk personeel, prachtige kamer,half pension was overweldigend,locatie met gratis schuttelbus naar stad. - De hottub was fantastisch !!! Alles was in orde .
- Wing Fai (9/5): Good food & very comfortable stay - Dinner is very good, much better than other hotels with similar price. The room is very clean and spacious room. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The hotel is a bit old, a bit different from the photos in website.
- Yasunori (9/5): - 朝食、夕食共に素晴らしく、景色も最高でした！ サウナの水風呂が夏は温いので、チラー導入を検討いただくと、よりサウナーからの評価が高くなると思われます。
- Yafei (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): - It was a great experience!

- TAKAKO (8/5): ご飯が美味しい😋 - 露天風呂に時間制限があるので、もう少しゆっくり入れたら良かった。 部屋が端だったので、部屋からの景色が少し良くなかったのが残念。 ご飯はとても美味しく素敵なじかんを過ごせた。
- Kazuhiko (10/5): 心のこもった最高のおもてなし - 天気があまり良くない中、それを感じさせないスタッフの皆さんの対応力には、日本のサービスの質の良さを改めて感じさせられました。オプションのアクティビティや露天風呂の予約もその場ででき、予約時には知りませんでしたが、満喫できました。インバウンドに辟易していたので、それを感じなかったのが何より良かったです。 レストランでの食事も完璧でした。 これからも日本のゲストを大切に、この素晴らしいスタイルを崩さずにいて欲しいです。奈良に来る時には、こちらにお世話になりたいです。

- 阿一一 (10/5): - 1.位於清幽的若草山上，JR和近鐵奈良站有提前預約的免費接駁車，沒開車也能輕鬆抵達，服務非常棒，有會說中文的服務人員，介紹非常用心清楚。 2.房間非常寬敞，結合典雅的傳統日式與舒適的西式床鋪，為兩張大床的格局，我住的房型有大窗景能看到飯店的美美游泳池，還能居高臨下遠眺奈良市景，光賴在房間裡就很放空，入住就能免費預約頂樓的景觀湯屋，雖然不是溫泉，但能包場50分鐘享受無敵奈良景致，超享受。 3.有奈良飯店少見的游泳池，充滿度假氣息，夏天來可以開心玩水。 4.晚餐和早餐都相當精緻，晚餐在日式中融入的法式料理元素，擺盤超夢幻，餐點也非常美味，早餐走傳統日式風格，使用很多當地小農食材，營養又好吃。 5.雖然入住一晚不便宜，但實際住過後感覺很值得，未來有機會會想再來。
- Johanne (9/5): Très belle expérience - Dîner exceptionnel, vue splendide et personnel aux petits soins
- Benichou (9/5): -
- Amy (9/5): It was a really special place with an exceptional setting. - The views, the staff and the restaurant were really exceptional! It’s a shame you had to book & pay more for the sauna by the pool. Also the pool bar and main bar were closed at all the times we would have liked to use these.
- shin (9/5): -
- Elise (8/5): - La localisation, le restaurant, la chambre, la vue, les pijamas
- geraldine (8/5): La vue est magnifique, le repas du soir également, très original. J’étais sincèrement très déçu de l’hôtel en arrivant e - L’emplacement dans les hauteurs de la ville, le repas du soir (surtout le premier, le deuxième soir c’était moins ouaouh que le premier). La différence visuel entre les photos et la réalité. Très très déçu de l’espace piscine et des chambres qui ne reflètent pas du tout l’image donnée par les photos. Personnel de restauration parfait. Plus compliqué avec le personnel féminin de l’accueil qui parlait très difficilement l’anglais et qui ne comprenait pas que l’on avait une réservation. Difficulté également avec le petit déjeuner traditionnel (poisson entier, œuf cru au petit matin), dommage qu’il ne soit pas possible sans supplément de pouvoir choisir quelque chose de plus classique. Nous sommes restés deux nuits mais une nuit suffit car le repas du second soir était moins bon et moins ouaaa en effet que le premier.
- Ryan (10/5): Very high quality service and friendly staff. Clean spacious rooms - The indoor pool/spa was very nice It is a little bit out the way from other stuff but very easy to get a ride to the centre
- Kate (6/5): Not like the modern pictures. An older property that needs updates. Great views and private onsen. - Beautiful views but that's where it ended for us. The restaurant only serves a coursed expensive dinner so there's no food once you're on the property. The breakfast was a set menu that didn't have anything to accommodate anyone that doesn't like very traditional Japanese food. The hotel needs a remodel and the pictures online were misleading. Would not recommend.
- Alena (4/5): Our stay at the Ando Hotel in Nara was unfortunately disappointing and did not meet our expectations. - The hotel itself is nicely designed and located in a very quiet, natural setting, but it is extremely remote with no shops or restaurants nearby. Surprisingly, despite being surrounded by nature, there are restrictions on walking or exercising in the area, which was inconvenient. While the hotel aspires to offer a luxury experience, it doesn’t truly meet that standard, especially considering the value for money. The breakfast is very minimal and not worth including in your Booking reservation. Any small change or request, such as switching to a Western-style breakfast, comes with an extra charge that feels excessive. The biggest issue we faced was with the miscommunication and unexpected charges for dinner. At check-in, the staff clearly told us that dinner for three people would cost 14,000 yen in total – which also matches the Booking.com rate of around €81 for half board for three adults. However, at check-out we were unexpectedly billed 14,000 yen per person. When we tried to clarify this, the staff were very rigid and refused to reconsider, insisting it was correct. Unfortunately, the staff’s English level was very poor, making it almost impossible to resolve the misunderstanding. When we tried to appeal the charge a day earlier, the staff member, Tanaka, who initially explained the rate was nowhere to be found. And at the very last minute, when we were about to leave, they called Booking.com, which was far too late to help. The most shocking and unacceptable part was at the end: since they denied us the scheduled transfer service, we called a taxi ourselves. When the taxi arrived at the hotel, we got in, but the staff physically prevented us from closing the taxi doors and leaving, insisting we could not go until the bill was paid in full as they demanded. This behavior felt extremely aggressive and completely inappropriate for a hospitality setting, causing us to miss our train and adding unnecessary stress.
- Jon (8/5): Very good -
- Naomi (5/5): Peaceful but a bit restricted - Being amongst the trees, the night tour up the mountain and the onsen baths Although a shuttle only went at certain times - a bit restrictive Any add ons - food, Sauna etc - expensive decor tired - needs a renovation
- Guy (10/5): The best of the best without a doubt! - This property is an absolute gem. Fantastic rooms with amazing views, amazing authentic cuisine, and fabulous open air private onsens all set in a national park overlooking the city of Nara. The free excursions to see the night sky and the fireflies are great little bonuses. The rooms are very roomy, comfy beds, and huge picture window. The staff were brilliant and super helpful. This hotel has become my most favourite hotel ever. Just amazing in every sense. And Nara is just an amazing place. The only criticism is the shuttle bus. It comes infrequently to the train stations and I’d advise to get a taxi to the hotel. We had an early train out and couldn’t get a taxi so ended up walking back into town which is apparently prohibited. The transport needs to be more flexible.
- Paul (10/5): Everything fantastic except for the beds - The staff were absolutely amazing, very helpful and friendly. The shuttle bus service to the top of the mountain was great and the staff member was extremely knowledgeable during his speech. The private hot tub on the upper floor was amazing. The beds and the pillows were terrible, very hard and uncomfortable.
- Chieko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jordan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johnny (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kenneth (9/5): Superb - The location, views and the restaurant was surperb. Just missing the final touch on the facilities. Breakfast / choices was difficult to understand in terms og how to change if you did not want fish for breakfast. Kids menu was not the best (could be nice if possible just to customize it a but more to avoid food waste). The pool area really does bot add up to pictures.
- Katrina (8/5): A lovely stay in Nara - The property was lovely , the food outstanding and the hot tub on the roof amazing! We arrived early and couldn’t use any facilities which was disappointing.
- Kwinten (9/5): Amazing room and rooftop onsen - We really liked our room. The layout, design and size of the room is impressive, the view over Nara is amazing, and the possibility to make use of the private rooftop onsen was wonderful. We thought in general the staff was not very friendly towards us. Most of our pre-arrival questions were not answered and only at check-in they communicated that you have to book breakfast, dinner and private onsen slots in advance. As we arrived quite late in the afternoon (6pm), the remaining options were very limited, which was not very convenient. It would be bettter to communicate this clearly in advance, before arrival. The breakfast is not good value for money, it is too expensive for what you get.
- CHIEKO (10/5): - とても清掃が行き届いていて綺麗です おしゃれで心地よくとても良かったです 事前に連絡頂き 亡き父の席も 夕食時 用意してもらてました 心遣いに家族全員 とても感謝するとともに 素敵な時間をすごせて幸せでした お料理何とても美味しいので また次回リピートしたいなーと思います ありがとうございます
- Ilona (9/5): Superb - Perfect location and very friendly personal. The rooms are great, nice view. Perfect to relax after sightseeing. Private onsen on the top floor for good value.
- Gertrud (9/5): Superb - I loved the beautfiul night time star gazing trip, the private baths and the room was beautiful. There was construction and a miscommunication on compensation in the form of meals.
- Gunda (10/5): Luxury plus, food, staff, the view! - The view was amazing overlooking Nara. Dinner was every evening different, 8 courses all looked like artwork served by the most wonderful people! We enjoyed to be spoilt by a glass of champagne every evening. We would have loved to go for walks directly from the hotel. Unfortunately the road to and from the Ando Hotel is only for cars, no people are allowed. Luckily the hotel shuttle offers to drop you off at Wakakusayama where you can walk through nature.
- Mark (9/5): A place to chill - Wonderful views and a relaxing place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The meals were the best presented we’ve ever seen - each course like a work of art. The kids struggled a bit with the Japanese-style breakfast but that’s no criticism of the quality. We loved sitting in the lounge playing some of the traditional wooden board games. And the private baths on the rooftop were fun. Only criticism would be that there’s literally nowhere to walk from the hotel. Pedestrians aren’t allowed on the steep winding road up to the property and there were no Forest trail paths that you could pick up for a short stroll or a morning run. The hotel does put on a shuttle bus to and from town. But once you’re up there, there no escape. Perhaps that’s a good thing?
- Alireza (8/5): - Nice staff
