Good place to stay with little inconveniences
(+) Good location, neighborhood is cute and close to Nara Park. Bus to Nara station (10-15 minutes).
Comfortable bed, good shower and toilet. Welcoming traditional living-room.
(-) Expensive restaurant, must pay for a thin towel and no free access to water, tea or coffee. Wifi is low in dormitory.

Fabulous old world experience
Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed in one of the private rooms, which were cosy, comfortable and clean. We loved the feel of the hostel, with pretty gardens and spaces to linger in, feeling like we'd stepped back in time. It was very quiet when we stayed with few other guests, although the restaurant filled up at dinner time (great food!). The Naramachi area nearby was fantastic to wander through and it was easy to get to the bus or just walk to some of the sights of Nara.

Très bon choix!
Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel plein de charme (qui fait la différence avec les hôtels classiques). Proche du parc des cerfs. Arrêt de bus à 3 min à pied qui mène à la gare de Nara.
Accueil très agréable. Le personnel est aux petits soins et le restaurant offre un choix de plats variés et de qualité. Les chambres sont petites mais rien de gênant pour qui passe son temps à visiter. L'hôtel dispose toutefois d'un salon, d'une guest room et de tables en extérieur le temps de lire ou de prendre un thé.
J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir.

un cadre magnifique, une très belle halte.
Une allure de Ryokan des temps anciens, tout en bois, un petit déjeuner délicieux et typique. Un emplacement pratique pour aller au temple, situé dans une petite rue résidentiel, vous êtes bien au Japon. le confort n'est pas celui d'un 3 étoiles mais tout est dans le cadre. Une très bonne surprise et un accueil sympa. Question photos il y a de quoi faire dans le tel avec les très belles salle à manger et les petits jardins intérieurs.
Happy with everything. Staff were excellent. Really enjoyed our stay with 5 and 1 year old kids. Park 50m away was a hidden bonus!! Walls paper thin in bedroom was only down side. Other guests not so polite to keep noise down in the adjoining room at night. Otherwise so great! Would visit again!
good service and comfortable room, but would be noisy if people staying at the nearby room don't keep silent.

주차장이 있고 나라공원이 가까워서 걸어갈수 있어서 좋았으나 숙소 찾기가 너무 힘들었음. 숙소는 나쁘지 않았으나 공용 냉장고 세탁기같은게 전혀 없었음

Good hostel in Nara
It was a good place to stay one night in Nara. The staff was great and helpful. The room was not very comfortable, but for one night was ok. It is also what I expected from a hoste. Good spanish restaurant one block from the hostel, good and cheap wine.
First I felt this guesthouse it is truly antique. you can feel real what Japanese house is.
staffs can speak English and they are very kind. I think this is the best geusthouse I ever stayed...truly antique and real Japanese house...!! baammmmm! I Highly Recommend!!!!
