Safed by the manager’s quick action.

I’ve had a couple of issues with my bed the first night I stayed there. My body and face were covered in mosquito bites. I woke up and wanted to find someone to hand me a spray but was unable to. I mentioned it next morning being quiet sick from all the bites. Management moved me immediately into a different area and the following night was much better.
I really appreciated the manager’s help.
Breakfast is excellent. Price incredible value for money. I would stay there again

Great Place!

My stay was fantastic! Akie was incredibly welcoming and warm. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. I was able to get a quick bite from their menu in between touring the city and taking a quick rest back at the guest house. It was a short walk to Nara Park and main shopping/food areas. I definitely recommend this spot for anyone one traveling solo through Nara.

Very cute, great staff

I had encountered some trouble that I'm not gonna detail here but the staff was immensely helpful and very kind. The hostel is cute and comfortable enough, if a bit small. The bar/restaurant is great. The location is not amazing, it's quite far from the station, although it is close to the park. Towels were not free, as opposed to what is mentioned on the page.

Nara for the Win!

The major \"must-see\" cites are within walking distance (Nara Park and Todaiji-temple). The staff was super friendly and accommodating. As of Nov. 2016 they have been open for 1 month - rooms are super clean and the share space isn't a great way to meet travelers. If you have 1-2 possibly 3 people I would stay but bed space is limited. That being said the beds are very comfortable. I'll be going back for sure!

잘못된 숙소 선택

밤12시에 도착을 했뎌니 계산기를 들이밀며 2000¥을 더 내라고 했다 벌금이란다 난 벌금에 대해 알지 못했고 처음 듣는 소리라고 말 했다 그러자 이 여자는 눈을 이상하게 치껴뜨며 일본어로 계속 욕설을 해됬다 그러면서 경찰에 신고 중이며 in or out 라며 2000¥을 내 놓지 않으면 나가라는 식으로 나를 몰아세웠다
결국 돈을 지붏했고 그래도 마지막에 늦게 와서 미안하다고 하자 눈을 흘기며 욕을 하는 듯 했댜 결국 난 그 충격으로 새벽 4시 쯤에 얕은 잠을 겨우 잤다
일본 여행하면 이 일이 가장 먼저 생각이 나니 내가 왜 이런곳을 선택을 했는지 뼈저리게 후회스럽다

如果怕吵的人就比較不推薦,因為這是一棟日式建築,隔間皆用木門,開關門及隔音比較差,卻也是體驗日本傳統

這是一間有家的感覺,又有很大自由度的青年旅館,我們住的是女生宿舍房,一開門便是公共區域,廚房用餐時還能看見旁邊的一小片日式庭院,乾淨度,親切度滿分,最讚的是兩間淋浴間的其中一間還能泡澡,讓一整天靠雙腳探索奈良的旅人,可以完全放鬆心情,冷冷的天氣,在廚房煮上一鍋熱騰騰的湯,加入超市買的超Q彈魚肉,大蒜,青菜及高野山的美味豆腐,旅行真是太幸福了。

전통가옥에 다다미룸이라 새로운 경험이었고, 게스트하우스가 넘 예쁘고, 깨끗하고 조용했으며, 호스트가 젊고 밝으며 친절했습니다. 기본 샤워용품이 비치되어 있고 수건은 따로 준비하셔야 됩니다. 나라파크가 가까워서 체크아웃후에 짐을 맡겨놓고 도보로 다녀왔습니다. 행복한 여행이었습니다

近鉄奈良駅からゲストハウスまで歩く夜道の商店街はウキウキして、猿沢池から見える興福寺や池の周囲の美しい夜景、落ち着いた奈良の街区と小路にすっかり魅了され、それだけで価値ある観光をしたような気分になれます。国際色のある宿泊客との自然なふれあいもうれしい。奈良らしい雰囲気。ここに泊まった客は、奈良が好きにならずにいられないでしょう。和室に二段ベッドもいい感じ。
