Pros:

Stylish boutique hotel, but the rooms are dark, and the windows are set in a way that you can‘t look outside. Weird. Staff doesn‘t speak English and is not very competent. What I liked were the free snacks and drinks, and the lobby. Location is great, right by the park.

Pros:

This is one of the coolest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I loved the natural elements, especially all the wood, and how serene it felt, particularly with its location right in front of the pond. I especially loved that they had three friendly chickens, and the whole place felt eco-friendly. My partner and I felt completely at peace. My only wish is that we could have stayed one more night. If I find myself back in Nara, I will definitely stay here again.

Pros:

lovely hotel; enjoyed the modern design and use of wood throughout the building. Staff were helpful and friendly. Liked the option of a western breakfast although this could have been more substantial, also had a special gourmet dinner here which was delicious. Great location near Nara Park and the train line. Would go back again

Wonderful hotel close to the park and ahopping
Pros:

Super kind staff, good breakfast, and they offer a morning guided walk through Nara park that we thought was great. Fantastic location. The beds can be a little challenging if one has mobility issues as they are entered at the bottom of the bed.

Nice hotel but dead animal as a neighbour
Pros:

The hotel was great but the room we received had an awful smell It came from the wall cavity and most likely a dead rat or animal of some sort. Staff couldnt change our rooms as it was fully booked but they weren't able to fragrance the room either. Nobody really had any idea of how to deal with the matter at all

Loved our stay!
Pros:

We had a great 2 days/1 night in Nara and loved Setre Naramachi for its location (close to Kofuku-ji Temple), cleanliness and personal service. Upon check-in, we met with a member of staff who walked us through their services in English - it wasn't just a quick key handout. The hotel organized a special English-speaking guide (he was excellent!) for the complimentary 7am tour of Nara since 6 of us foreigners had signed up for the next day's tour. We also borrowed the hotel's complimentary bikes to cycle to the Kasuga Shrine on our last morning luckily prior to the rain setting in. How many times do you get to relax in the lounge looking through the window at the garden and notice a chicken facing you on the other side of the glass? It makes for a great picture to send to the kids. Breakfast and dinner were included and, surprisingly, all drinks. The only suggestion I would make is that, rather than a European-inspired dinner, we would have preferred locally sourced Japanese food.
Definitely recommend and would stay again if ever back in Nara (this trip was almost 40 years after my only other visit).

Pros:

Great location near Nara park, next to all the landmark shrines & temples.
The hotel is very good overall, but felt somewhat overpriced (no onsen, rooms not so large and equipment quite standard).
Traditional breakfast was very good.

Wonderful experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful time. This hotel is not like the others. Starting with the check in, where an employee literally sat down with us and walked us through all the aspects of the stay. I really appreciated the time taken for that. The design of the room was special, too. Spacious and friendly. The chicken in the inner ward gave it all a very particular vibe. Staff was very attentive. The Japanese breakfast was prepared with much attention to details. The lounge, with the possibility to have drinks throughout the afternoon and evening gave the stay an overall very relaxed feeling, almost a feeling of being at home.
If I come back to Nara, I would certainly choose Setre again.
