Overview
APA Hotel Kintetsu-Nara Ekimae is a business hotel in a handy spot, a 4-minute walk from Exit 4 of Kintetsu-Nara Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line and an 8-minute walk from the East Exit of JR Nara Station. Children who have not yet started elementary school can co-sleep free of charge, with up to one child per bed, and the front desk hands out children's amenities such as toothbrushes, body sponges and slippers, as well as lending baby wipes, arm rings and picture books. There are also connecting rooms that sleep up to 4 guests, so families can stay together. There is no communal bath or onsen; bathing is in the en-suite bathroom in your room.
Rooms
Guest rooms come in several types: Standard Rooms (10.7-11.6 sq m, bed width 140 cm), Queen Bed Rooms (10.9-11.6 sq m, bed width 160 cm), Twin Rooms (18 sq m, two beds 120 cm wide), Triple Rooms (22 sq m, three beds 110 cm wide) and Deluxe Twin Rooms (23 sq m, two beds 120 cm wide). There are also connecting rooms, where two rooms are joined by an inner door; you can choose from three combinations - double with double, double with queen, or queen with queen - and they sleep up to 4 guests, which suits families.
Dining
Breakfast is a one-plate meal built around local ingredients, served at Tenkaku Coffee, the restaurant on the first floor. It comes with freshly toasted bread made from wheat grown in Nara Prefecture and a house-roasted specialty coffee or tea. Hours are 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., with last orders at 10 a.m. The price is 2,000 yen including tax when purchased in advance, or 2,200 yen including tax on the day. Room service is not available.
Baths
There is no communal bath, onsen or private-hire bath. Each guest room has an en-suite bathroom with an egg-shaped bathtub, and that is where you bathe with your child.
Family-Friendly Features
Children who have not yet started elementary school can co-sleep free of charge, with up to one child per bed. Amenities are not included for them, so please ask the front desk staff if you need any. At the front desk, children's toothbrushes, body sponges and slippers are packed into a chick-motif bag and handed to guests who would like them, and baby wipes, arm rings and children's picture books are also available to borrow.
Access
It is a 4-minute walk from Exit 4 of Kintetsu-Nara Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line, and an 8-minute walk from the East Exit of Nara Station on the JR Kansai Main Line and Nara Line. The hotel has no on-site or affiliated parking, so you will need to use a nearby lot such as the paid parking lot Times Nara Chuo (97 spaces), a 1-minute walk away. Note that Sanjo-dori, the street in front of the hotel entrance, becomes a pedestrian-only zone from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays, when cars cannot enter - something for families arriving by car to keep in mind.
