Miroku Nara by The Share Hotels

Superb service, among the best I've ever had at a hotel. Generous check-in and check-out policies with respect to luggage and even offering to carry it up the stairs for you. Management was very understanding of some requests we made. The room was the most spacious we've had in Japan so far: my child had a wonderful time in the bunk space above our beds. As for the location? There are literally Nara shika (deer) resting and eating grass directly below our room window, on a green right next to the hotel car park. Deer were wandering around the door of the nearest konbini.

Modern stylish hotel. Room was spacious with panoramic view. Cozy comfortable matres and soft pillow.Very hospitality staff. In every moment try to help you. You may see Nara deers from cafe terrace. Convenient and quiet location. Not too many tourists. Grocery and a lot of deers near.Paid parking about 700 yens per weekday.I couldn't eat Japanese breakfast. It was too conceptual and unusual. But western breakfast is ok. I recommend you not to pay for hotel breakfast. Because of its unpalatable and at a high price for this place. Handy laundry. One washing costs 600 yens.

After staying at Hotel 88 Shinsaibashi in Osaka and the Blossom Hotel in Kyoto, both hotels setting the bar high for our expectations of all hotels, the Miroku was such a disappointment. From the moment we arrived to find chaos in the lobby, the computerized self check-in not working and very few staff to help out we felt a huge let down from our two previous experiences. Our room at almost $400 CND was much more expensive than the two previous hotels yet lacked the service, the cleanliness and the lovely staff of the other properties. Our room, 104, had walls that looked as though they hadn't seen a lick of paint in a long time. A hockey arena has fewer dings in the walls. There was no where to hang anything once the four hooks on the wall were used. How much does a coat hanger cost? There was one window that was covered with opaque glass. Pulling it aside we would have looked into an alley so we understood why it was covered. The upside was that the bathroom was a nice size but other than that, we couldn't wait to leave. Unlike our two previous hotel stays in Osaka and Kyoto, there was no guest lounge providing complementary coffee, lattes, cold drinks or snacks. Such a disappointment especially for the money. While some rooms at this hotel might be lovely, ours was not one of them. Hopefully someone will check on the condition of the walls and paint them soon.

Design savvy modern hotel with tatami style rooms. Check in took sometime. Service was decent. Location is next to a patch of greens with view to a temple ( currently being repaired) Love the attention to the breakfast sets. Both the western and Japanese style breakfast is worth getting.

Very classy and elegant hotel, while keeping a simple and traditional Japanese style. The Mountain View Room offered a great view onto Nara Park and was also extraordinarily spacious, compared to other hotels in Japan. The location is very good, being in walking distance to the train station, as well as Nara Park and several temples and shrines.

The rooms are amazing and cozy. The bathrooms are quite large. For the prize you pay it's a fantastic deal. Not to mention it is a very small distance away from Nara Park and the rest of the town, and only 15 mins away from the Station.

Great location, nice service. Unfortunately the room looks good, but the amount of dust and the moldy smell, because of the mold in the bathroom is beyond. We had to sleep with open window for 2 days. On the sitting pillow were yellow stains all over. Do not recommend if you like clean spaces and have allergies

Beds comfortable, bathrooms nicely designed, amenities lacking, misrepresents how close to the park it is, it’s got about 3m attached to an annexed area where the deer rarely go, and the entrance is a 15 minute walk. Staff is politely rude if you can find anyone at all, (as there is no reception area, just a kiosk) especially to foreign travelers which was very unpleasant and spoiled our visit. If you are western don’t bother ordering Japanese breakfast when you reserve your room, they will change it to western when you check in and will not honor what you reserved. Expect undercooked potatoes and overcooked broccoli instead.
