This APA Hotel is a 5-minute walk to the Kintetsu-Nara station and 8 minutes to JR Nara station. It's also 5 minutes from Kōfuku-ji and Sarusawa Pond (aka Nara Pond), with Nara Park just a little further in. Surrounding the hotel are shops of all sorts, and restaurants to satisfy any appetite. I will say that the restaurant prices are reasonable, considering the close proximity to tourist attractions. The hotel also offers laundry machines; perfect for travellers who don't like to bring a lot of clothes with them (like myself). Overall I was very satisfied with my stay. A much better experience than the APA Hotel in Osaka that I stayed at for part of my trip.

The location is superb so near to the deer park, dining and shopping area. It is only 15 minutes walk to the deer park. The only thing I don't like is to stay in the first floor, the same floor as the lobby and the window is block by the wall.
