Start with the part of Nara where you will spend your mornings and evenings. Compare Kintetsu Nara · Naramachi · JR Nara, then map the walking route from the station to each hotel. A listing described as central can still be awkward with luggage.
Check the actual entrance, stairs and nearby places to eat. For a short stay, saving a transfer every day may matter more than a larger room. Look at recent comments about noise, room size and air conditioning before choosing.
The local picture
Nara links major temples with the open spaces of Nara Park and the older streets of Naramachi. JR Nara and Kintetsu Nara are separate stations; choose the one that suits your route.
