SETRE Naramachi セトレ ならまち features free bikes, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Nara. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.8 km from Nara Station. - This hotel is beautiful, cozy and so peaceful. From the room design to the lobby and restaurant, always with a view of the serene courtyard - I wish I could have stayed longer just to relax and take in the atmosphere a few more days. - The location is excellent, with just a 10 minute walk to the Kintetsu train station with connections to Kyoto, Osaka and more. Also in walking distance are most of Nara’s sights: Naramachi with lots of shops, restaurants and breweries, many shrines and temples, and Nara Park (with deer hanging out right outside the hotel doors). The pagoda was under construction when we stayed but would have been a beautiful view right from the rooftop terrace. - The food was delicious. I still dream about the onigiri rice balls we had for breakfast. Unlimited tea, coffee, juices, beer, whisky soda and other drinks was really nice to have. - The wood chip foot bath was an intriguing new experience and very nice after a long day of walking around town. - It was great to be able to choose the level and frequency of housekeeping. - The included walking tour was great; our guide showed us beautiful spots to take photos and pointed out interesting facts that we would have missed otherwise. - My husband smokes and was very appreciative of the designated spot on the rooftop where he could go without bothering anyone. - The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were so nice. I really felt a difference in how soft my hair was after I used it. - The pyjamas were the most comfortable. I wish I could have bought a pair to bring home! - The hotel’s focus on sustainability. - The chickens.
