Super clean room and spacious with a sizable bathroom. Well equipped with good quality shampoo and conditioner; my hair was literally smoother, lol. Rate was really economical. Highly recommended! Lots of restaurants and they are like 5-7 minutes walking from the hotel. Staff was friendly and after I checked out in the morning they let me stored my luggage in the lobby area until evening. The Nara station is super close and they even have a tourist information center over there. I will come and stay here again!

The laundry room is conveniently on the 4th floor where we stayed. Since it is public, the risk is someone removing your items before you go claim it so I lost some socks due to another guest not removing everything fully from the machine I was using. The dryer definitely needs multiple runs so I wouldn’t suggest heavy fabrics going in. The hotel has a board of cards for items you need (stool, ironing, hair straight, dvd player w/ anime collection nearby). They offer a number of amenities at the front if you forget your razor or toothbrush and other things. There’s a great dry footbath at the entrance to refresh tired feet. The front desk helped us book luggage forwarding to our next hotel for us. It’s very affordable and convenient.

I recently stayed at Centurion Hotel Classic Nara, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breakfast—easily one of the best I’ve ever had at a hotel! The variety of options was remarkable, catering to all tastes and dietary needs. From western breakfast options to a selection of traditional oriental style breakfast, all are fresh and very tasty. Beyond breakfast, the hotel impressed with its clean, well-appointed rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. I highly recommend Centurion Hotel Classic Nara to anyone seeking a comfortable stay with a standout breakfast experience.

We had a great stay. We had a deluxe room with 2 large twin beds. Great mattress and pillows to sleep on. Less than a 5 minute walk from the Nara JR Station. Look for the big sign on top of the building at the corner when you walk out side directing you to the hotel. Check in was seem less. Staff were great. Lots of food options in the area. If you like Indian Food and are tired of Japanese food then you have to try Manna. It’s less than 10 minutes away and the food was amazing!

The room we were in had no view at all. We had to keep the curtains closed so it was dark all the time. The bathroom was small and congested. It reminded me of a cruise ship bathroom but smaller and the step up to the bathroom was dangerous. The sofa in there needs to go. It looks like it's from the 1920s. It's too large of a couch for such a small space. It was clean and the staff were very nice but the room for what we paid was not worth it. I would not recommend this hotel to others.

The room was not as pictured in the photos shown at booking, there was no column in the booking photos. The column made it difficult to get into bed and made the sofa practically useless. The bathroom has a step up of about 6 inches and if you are over 6 feet tall your head will hit the ceiling when showering.
