一位说中文的工作人员非常不专业，错误收费，态度恶劣

Lihong W. Couples - 4/8/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

When checking in, a staff member who spoke Chinese looked at my successfully booked reservation on Accor All but told me I didn’t have a booking. It was later discovered that the issue was on her end. The check-in process took nearly an hour. I was checking in for two people, and she asked me to pay an additional 5,000 yen. The next day, another staff member informed me that the extra 5,000 yen charged during check-in was a mistake. However, I did not receive a reasonable explanation or an apology from the Chinese-speaking staff member responsible for the error. Immediately after checking in, I found that the phone in the room was not working and I couldn’t call the front desk. I reported this issue to the same Chinese-speaking staff member, who promised to resolve it, but no follow-up or feedback was provided. By the time I checked out, the issue still hadn’t been addressed. The overall check-in and stay experience was extremely disappointing. チェックイン時、中国語を話すスタッフがAccor Allで私が成功裏に予約した注文を確認したにもかかわらず、「予約がない」と言われました。最終的に、問題は彼女自身のミスであることが判明しました。チェックインの手続きには約1時間もかかりました。私は2人分のチェックインをしており、彼女は5,000円を支払うよう求めました。しかし翌日、別のスタッフから「チェックイン時に多く請求された5,000円は誤請求だった」と知らされました。それにもかかわらず、合理的な説明も、誤請求を行った中国語を話すスタッフからの謝罪もありませんでした。チェックイン直後、部屋の電話が使用できず、フロントに連絡することもできませんでした。この問題についても同じ中国語を話すスタッフに伝えたところ、「解決する」と約束されましたが、その後何の対応もありませんでした。私がチェックアウトするまで、問題は解決されませんでした。宿泊体験は非常に残念なものでした。

Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your check-in process. We take full responsibility for the inconvenience caused by the confusion regarding your reservation and the additional charge. It is also concerning to hear that you did not receive the proper explanation or apology from the staff member involved, and I regret that this issue was not resolved in a timely manner. Please rest assured that we are addressing this matter with the staff to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future. Additionally, I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the phone not working in your room. We understand the importance of responsive service, and we will take immediate action to improve communication and follow-up with guests. Once again, I apologize for the frustration you experienced, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back under better circumstances in the future. Sincerely, Makoto Kaida General Manager Novotel Nara

A Surprisingly Outstanding Stay at Novotel Nara – Exceeding Four-Star Expectations

Yue X. Couples - 4/8/2025 Confirmed reviews ALL

Novotel Nara, newly opened in 2024, delivered an experience that far exceeded my expectations for a four-star hotel. Everything in the hotel feels brand new, with a design that reflects the chic and forward-thinking style of its French roots. The aesthetic is modern, elegant, and filled with thoughtful design touches. The hotel shares its location with the luxurious JW Marriott Nara, and it’s about a 10-minute walk from the Kintetsu Shin-Omiya Station. While the walk includes a stretch of gravel path that can be slightly inconvenient if you’re wheeling luggage, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to both JR Nara Station and Kintetsu Yamato-Saidaiji Station, which greatly improves the overall travel experience if you’re able to use it. One of the highlights of my stay was visiting during cherry blossom season. Right next to the hotel is a picturesque riverside lined with sakura trees. The area is not overly crowded, making it easy to take stunning photos and enjoy the serene beauty of the blossoms. This unexpected discovery was one of the most delightful surprises of the trip. In terms of facilities, the hotel rooms are well laid out and spacious enough, with a minimalist modern design and a comfortable bathtub. The room standard is above what you’d typically expect from a Novotel. On top of that, the hotel offers perks such as an executive lounge (where members can enjoy complimentary cocktails during happy hour, even if food options are limited), a pleasant small-scale public bath, massage chairs, a kids’ playroom, and more. Soaking in the Japanese-style bath after a long day of sightseeing was especially rejuvenating and helped melt away the day’s fatigue. Overall, Novotel Nara added a lot of joy to my trip and left me with wonderful memories. I would happily choose to stay here again on any future visit to Nara.
