Center Hotel Narita — Hotel in Narita

This has been a layover hotel for me for several years now. It is a good place to begin to recover from jet lag when flying from the U.S. to various destinations in Asia or other cities in Japan. It is close to NRT, about 15 minutes by train, and I find it easy to get to when exiting Keisei Narita Station now that I know where it is . The first time finding it was a little difficult. Hotel staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and welcoming with adequate English. Single rooms are just big enough to be comfortable and are always clean. Prices with internet promotions are very fair. Breakfast is included and I find it very tasty with traditional Japanese options including rice, miso or noodle soup, salmon, pickle, natto, and green tea. A western option is also available and includes pastry, jam, and coffee. As well as a good layover destination, Narita City is becoming more interesting in and of itself. There is a street lined with shops selling traditional Japanese goods of the tourist/souvenir variety. To reach this street take the station exit opposite the one that leads to the hotel, go about one block to a "T" intersection, and then turn right onto the street. This street leads to the Naritasan temple complex much of which is being systematically renovated. Shingon Buddhist temples in the complex are historically significant and are in active use by local people and visitors. There is a large and quite beautiful Japanese garden. On the street leading to the temple complex there is a visitor center on the left with very helpful staff. There are also free one hour tours of the temple complex in English that can be had by asking at the visitor center or entering the large building across the street from the temple complex and looking on the right for the table staffed by members of the Narita Association of Volunteer Guides. There are numerous restaurants in the vicinity of Center Narita Hotel. Also, the hotel staff can help point you to a large nearby supermarket that has a great variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, sushi and cooked food packaged for takeout, beer, wine, etc. all at very reasonable prices, Finally, if you like to explore and walk, there are rice fields and small villages within about 10 minutes of the hotel, found by walking away from the hotel and staying on the same side of the rail line as the hotel. Center Narita is a no frills hotel, very clean and adequate with great staff and I highly recommend it. Narita City itself is great for a layover and also an interesting place in itself for a day or two of exploring. I highly...

It’s definitely one of the quieter properties close to Keisei Narita and the action around the city center!||Having stayed at the Meet Inn in a previous trip, I thought I’d try out their sister property down the same street where you turn right instead of left to the Meet Inn when exiting the stairs from Keisei Narita Station’s East Exit. Unlike the Meet Inn and most of the other nearby hotels, this one is surrounded entirely by residential highrises which makes for a quiet surroundings with the closest convenience store being the Lawsons back over by the base of the stairs to Narita Station. ||That said, it was a fine stay for the price we paid especially since it included complimentary breakfast (albeit with almost all Japanese options just in case for those who want some Western items in their buffet) something that whose only comparable competition in similarly-priced rates during our stay was the Toyoko Inn by the airport but with the convenience of not needing to take a shuttle to sightsee/shop/dine around the Narita city center.||The rooms are typical of Japanese business hotels: small but efficient, clean, functional, and mostly well-kept. Considering the hotel’s size, the fact that there were three laundry machines made sure I wouldn’t have to wait to use one in order to get a load done! ||There is a small incline from the base of the stairs so that may be a factor on whether to wait for the shuttle from the airport (which has limited pickup times) or to head over via the Keisei Main Line from either terminal station especially with checked luggage (though honestly it may not be as strenuous as some of the steeper paths that one may face trying to get to/from other hotels during the course of their...

Do not misunderstand the title, this hotel is very good indeed. Economic, convenient, comfortable, good value. It does not pretend to be anything else. Yes the room was small, but it was adequate for our needs. Close to the centre of narita and the two main train stations. Perfect for commuting to the centre of Tokyo and to narita airport. To get from the train station to the hotel is easy, as long as you are not overloaded with baggage. There are two escalators and a lot of steps to navigate down to the hotel, but a shoulder bag and one suitcase is manageable. There is a very good convenience store close by. The hotel does not have a restaurant for meals, but they do offer an excellent variety of items for a good breakfast. Also the hotel offers a free mobile phone to use during your stay and offers you free unlimited calls, including international calls. The reception service is wonderful (Ken speaks excellent English and is incredibly friendly and helpful, thank you Ken). Totally charmed by the typical Japanese politeness. Western hotel staff could learn a lot from these lovely people about how to treat guests. Thankyou all at the hotel for...
