Nara hotellia

Plussat: Most amazing experience for our entire trip in Japan The place is magical, the people is incredibly kind. It has been a dream come true

Miinukset: Our stay was too short, didn’t want to leave

Plussat: Beautiful retreat in the primeval forest of Nara. Amazing dinners and excellent hospitality.

Miinukset: A bit more English proficiency would be nice, and a few less bugs who found their way in from the forest.

Plussat: Really traditional and beautiful

Miinukset: Staff don’t speak English that well

Plussat: Amazing Japanese dinner. Warm and welcoming staff. City taxi cancelled our pick-up in the last minute and hotel staff took us to the trains station so that we don't miss our departure.

Plussat: Fantastic location.... we walked up to Tsukihitei from Nara Park, a little distance but very do-able without bags (we had forward on to our next location so only had daypacks). Take time to have the bath, very relaxing. The food is incredible, somewhat challenging for the kids (little whole sardines) but go ahead and try it all, there is so much for dinner we couldn't give the breakfast the respect it deserved.

Plussat: I love this hotel so much. It’s very tradition at the same time very caring. Staffs are good and polite. It’s good to have them to serve us. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and beautiful too. Like this place so much!

Miinukset: There was a big spider came into our room (which has been mentioned in the living guide that some insects may come in as the hotel is located in a forest). Anyway the spider was so scary and leave quickly. Then we had a very nice night.

Plussat: Authentic and traditional ryokan, unforgettable experience experience.

Miinukset: Too much food! We felt sorry not to finish everything! Also, would have appreciated some kids friendly options for the kaiseki.

Plussat: Location was amazing. Room v nice and traditional. Evening meal v extensive and interesting.

Miinukset: Hand drier in the bathroom

Plussat: It’s a charming ryokan in the wonderful forest, with the river running near your window and a perfect location for exploring the parks and shrines by feet. Excellent cuisine. Very welcoming staff. They also organized a wonderful in-room massage for us.

Miinukset: It’s a bit dated, but that can be said about most of the ryokans.

Plussat: The staff are truly wonderful and caring and gave us exemplary service and assistance throughout our visit. A lovely lady by the name of Okajima was especially helpful and gracious which made our stay very enjoyable. The hotel itself is beautiful with every comfort thought of, spacious rooms and elegant interiors.

Plussat: The best hotel in Nara

Plussat: Hotel was very nice,close to the park and the shops. The staff is great and so nice. Thanks

Plussat: The location is perfect being a short walk from the park and main tourist attractions. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and many spoke English very well.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This hotel provides the complete package: really excellent service, excellent location neat Kintetsu Nara Station, and a very short walk from Nara Park, large well equipped rooms and bathrooms, and a fully equipped free minibar. We had a very comfortable stay. On departure, they insisted on carrying our luggage to the train station.

Plussat: The close proximity to Nara Park was a definite plus. It must be the best location in the city for visitors. The hotel was elegant, the staff were helpful and most courteous and the meals taken in the hotel were of a high standard and beautifully presented. It rates as our best hotel experience ever, I believe. The raising of the national flag of resident guests is a wonderful touch.

Miinukset: The experience was faultless and the management deserves congratulating on their accommodation offering.

Plussat: Extremely close to Kintetsu, nice facilities, has a small gym, good service. Room is very clean.

Plussat: Location was great. Room was very nice.

Miinukset: Staff was not helpful with dining suggestions. Was not a good value, at all.

Plussat: Very helpful and courteous staff. Delicious food. Amazing room! Huge and comfortable bed! beautiful boutique hotel. great location.

Plussat: Amazing personal check-in and orientation over a cup of cherry blossom tea. The best customer service ever.

Plussat: Nice hostel, friendly people, good atmosphere. Big room and clean showers. Tastefull breakfast. The hostel is close to the centre of Nara and within walking distance of the deer and the temples.. Both the big stations are nearby.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I think it is in a great location. Stroll away from the train station. The manager is super friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was simple and filling. I liked this place mainly because it is relatively small. I think if you were in the rooms closer to the road, it would be noisy from traffic during peak traffic times. Ear plugs are supplied however I didn’t need to use them.

Plussat: It was really nice for a one night trip to Nara. 10 min walk from the JR line and 15 min walk from the nara park. They had renting bicycle, which it was awesome to get around Nara, the price is only 100 yen per hour or 500 yen for the whole day. We were staying in a room for 3, which was really big and had a sink in the room to brush our teeth. Also, we experience a real japanese room which was so nice. Would definitely go back.

Plussat: Quiet yet convenient location Friendly host Facility is clean and in good condition with classic Japanese style Not fluffy but enough comfortable beds

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: The staff is very nice

Plussat: Location is convenient, a short walk from Kintetsu Nara station

Miinukset: A little worn out and no sound proof for rooms

Plussat: A guest house renovated from an old house with nice garden. The female dorm offers privacy and feels like a private room with just 4 beds. The guest house is very clean with enough showers, toilets. The staff are very friendly! The place is also near Kintetsu station. Its on a big street but very quiet inside. I will come back the next time I visit Nara!

Miinukset: None!

Plussat: Central location, great hospitality, and more than adequate amenities for the cost. I was comfortable, happy, and enjoyed the community atmosphere.

Miinukset: The sparsity of the rooms

Plussat: We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this well cared for traditional guest house. The host was wonderful, very helpful, attentive to details and enjoyable to talk with. The breakfast was delicious and a healthy way to start the day--a very good value. The guesthouse also offers bento boxes for lunch. This was also delicious--some of the best rice and curry I have had in Japan.

Plussat: The staff was super nice and very fluent in English. Best Japanese breakfast and easy bike rental.

Plussat: Loved the food and the authentic japanese experience

Plussat: Our room was amazing, overlooking the Nara Park and with an additional private bath. The room was huge and beautifully decorated. The Japanese food, both dinner and the breakfast, was delicious. Our host took us with VIP passes to the festival nearby, and we loved it!

Miinukset: We didn't like the Western breakfast as much

Plussat: The service was impeccable and they went out of their way to meet the needs of my vegan daughter. The many courses served for dinner were superb. The location with the deer on the doorstep was wonderful.

Plussat: Absolutely lovely Ryokan located on the far side of Nara park (when arriving from the train station). Very quiet and peaceful with lovely staff and incredible food, it was one of the highlights of our holiday. We were upgraded free of charge so ended up with our own en suite 'hot tub' with views over the garden. Dinner was fantastic with 7 or 8 courses of traditional Japanese cuisine served in our room, the presentation was exquisite! Breakfast the next day was a picnic on the hill just across from the Ryokan; nice views across Nara and we had a couple of (well behaved) deer for company. We were sorry to leave after just one night but we enjoyed walking through the park and visiting the temples (which are only 5-10 mins away).

Miinukset: More expensive than other places we stayed at during our holiday but it was 100% worth it - a great experience! One thing to note - the male and female onsens (thermal baths) are separate and bathing costumes aren't allowed.

Plussat: Great service and location, but a little too pricey. We were served a huge number of beautifully prepared dishes (included in the price). We then understood we are not fans of Japanese food...

Miinukset: Japanese breakfast (I guess Japanese people would disagree).

Plussat: This was an excellent introduction to Japanese culture. The staff were all welcoming and attentive at all times. The Japanese breakfast was fantastic. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location next to the park was convenient. We enjoyed the traditional Japanese attire.

Plussat: It's beautiful and old Ryokan. Fantastic experience! We stayed here one night on our honeymoon trip in Japan and it was absolutely wonderful! Staff, the room, onsen and food! Absolutely recomend for those who value authentic atmosphere!

Plussat: The hospitality of all the people working there!

Plussat: The location was special.

Miinukset: Food was mediocre. English language skills so-so.

Plussat: Beautiful room with outlook onto garden courtyard.

Plussat: Centre of town can be reached in a couple of minutes. Very friendly owners (who gave us great ideas for lunch and dinner in the surroundings); old, traditional Japanese house (ex-calligraphy school). Large (and quite beautiful, especially the one downstairs) rooms.

Miinukset: Really a "youthhostel" feeling, which somehow surprised us. List of rules (incl. switch-off of electricity at 11:00 p.m.!) that you are explicitly and upon arrival made to read, incl. that you are to unmake your bed and bring down sheets and everything upon departure. Besides tea and water, you have to pay extra for anything that you desire (incl. extra towel, bicycle). No jakuta (in-house "kimono") provided. Your room will not be entered during your stay, for the better and the worse of it.

Plussat: The beautiful home and the lovely helpful hosts.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Naramichi guesthouse is a hundred years old traditional japanese house, well cared after by the hosts. It was a pleasure to stay with Shunju and Kimiko for 3 days, they speak great English and are always available to give information or teach you some japanese words and traditions. The common area is lovely and very welcoming. I highly recommend this accommodation to everyone. I hope to be back in Nara soon.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Incredible value with warm and welcoming hosts! This exceeded any expectations I had.

Plussat: The hosts were amazing

Plussat: Great place with clean rooms and excellent shower. Staff are very nice and accomodating and location is 10 min from Nara's main attractions.

Plussat: I like thé peacefulness and thé friendly atmosphere. This place is calm and full of conviviality at thé same time.

Miinukset: Thé noise of the cars .. it is not direct but we can hear thé noisy cars at night.

Plussat: A beautiful and cozy place with a very personal touch. The owners, Kumiko and Shunju, were super friendly and very helpful. The centre of Nara is easily reached on foot. All in all, would wholeheartedly recommend!

Plussat: Gorgeous house with a rich history, nice owners, has everything you may need.

Miinukset: Not a fan of late check in times in Japan. 4pm - 10am is too little for a house like that, so be sure to stay at least two nights.

Plussat: I really love that I can access the hotel via a short bridge directly from JR Nara station as I had a really large luggage with me. The hotel was really comfortable and I love how staff went out of the way to make the stay a bit more personalised with the handwritten welcome card. The hotel also has hot spring facilities that I sadly didn't have time to make use of. I also liked how the hotel uses those new passcode based locks so no more need to carry a hotel card around. Finally, I accidentally left my jacket in the hotel room upon checkout but when I went back at the end of the day to enquire about it, they had it kept and nicely wrapped up.

Miinukset: Not the fault of the hotel, but do note that this hotel is quite a walk away from the famous attractions on the east side of the city so do factor that in if you have a tight schedule.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good breakfast, excellent location next to the JR Nara station.

Miinukset: The bathroom is a little bit narrow

Plussat: It is great, you can choose your own pillow, have onsen, near jr station but really quiet

Plussat: Loistava sijainti. Siisti mutta kovin pieni huone. Kuitenkin kaikki tarvittava: teenkeitin, jääkaappi, ilmastointi, lämmitys. Ofuro oli plussaa. Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta. Juna-asema ihan vieressä. Lähellä kaikki tarvittavat palvelut.

Plussat: The room is clean and staff members are very friendly and helpful. Their spa facility gave a sense of Japanese, great experience. It is a great value hotel with delicious breakfast and located next to JR station. Recommended!

Plussat: Excellent location adjacent to the train station. Very attentive staff. Nice onsen facility. Comfortable rooms.

Miinukset: Wish that the breakfast ran longer. It closed at 9am and we missed it.

Plussat: Erinomainen hotelli aivan Naran rautatieaseman yhteydessä. Aamiainen varsin toimiva, joskin paikallisen tyylinen. Heti samaiselta asema-aukiolta, jossa hotelli on, löytyy myös ruokakauppoja ja mm. Starbucks. Hotellin kylpylä kuuluu hintaan ja on varsin mainio lisä majoitukseen. Todella ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Plussat: Great staff and thank you nana

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: location and perfect service

Miinukset: the room was not exactly the same as I ordered. I stayed with family (wife and daughter (16 years old) and it actually was only one big bed and one place almost for Japanese-style floor sleeping. When I book this room I expected (been offered for 14,100 JPY) room with two separate beds.

Plussat: Good location, near shopping stores

Miinukset: Toilet is not comfort for senior people.

Plussat: Interesting good choices. Good cooking. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Would not know.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: It’s very near to Kintetsu nara staton!

Miinukset: Air conditioner leaked water

Plussat: We had a family room with 4 beds and own bathroom. It was quiet and comfortable, and a close walk to all the sights. Good value, light breakfast was welcome before an early train out.

Plussat: The stay was great. The staff was exceptionally friendly, the lobby was cozy, and any extra services were for a good price. It only cost ¥200 yen for a yukata pajama. I also liked the complimentary coffee.

Miinukset: No complaints.

Plussat: Free tea and coffee at the lounge.

Miinukset: The bet was too hard for me. A bed protector with a padding would be good to have.

Plussat: The location was really handy to both the train and bus stations,. It was close to a great supermarket and restaurants.

Miinukset: No view from our window other than a wall.

Plussat: Right on JR station. Very convenient for in and out and close to town too. Practically a brand new hotel, nice big open windows, good beds.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: We loved the overall aesthetic of the room. It was spacious and luxurious and also convenient to get to by train or by car. The rooms were extremely clean as well.

Plussat: Comfortable, modern hotel in great location.

Plussat: Very tasty breakfast, well served.

Miinukset: Defenitely you should add english information what all of these products are, because people who work at the restaurant don’t understand english so they can’t explain anything. Moreover you should a little change menu, cause we had the same dishes every day.

Plussat: The location was perfect - 2 minutes walk from the main JR station and only 15 minutes to the park and the old town and only 5 minutes from the best bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Excellent location just outside the JR rail station. Brand new hotel with modern and comfortable rooms, nice bathroom!

Plussat: It’s modern. A very comfortable stay.

Miinukset: No bath tub.

Plussat: The location was extremely convenient- steps from the station. Yet it was super quiet- where street and train noise completely disappeared. Also, the products- linens, soaps were of high quality. My stay was very comfortable.

Miinukset: The room was on the small size-usual Japanese standard.

Plussat: The location near the train station was perfect to us.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The rooms and premises were very clean and tidy. The male staff member on duty was very helpful and accommodating. We brought in our luggage in the morning before check-in time and when we returned in the evening, our bags were already placed in our room.

Miinukset: The corridor lights were dimmed after 10pm. It was difficult inserting the key into the keyhole to open the room door in the dark.

Plussat: Outstanding welcome Spécial present for the guest Owners very friendly

Plussat: The location is great, and the stuff very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The division between the room and the bathroom.

Plussat: Lovely guest house. Super clean and quiet. Near JR NARA Station (5mins) not the other one but still walkable. The place have comfortable bed. Good shower. Even you can make your breakfast here. Great for money.

Miinukset: Small sink

Plussat: Great location for visiting Nara Machi and Nara Koen. Good price.

Plussat: Good price, really friendly and helpful staff, near train station and city center, comfortable

Plussat: Really lovely feel

Miinukset: Bathroom was quite small

Plussat: - great location, in the middle of a shopping street but with no car access so not much noise - new facility, all clean and tidy - guests also paying attention to keep the place clean and tidy and also keeping the place quiet for the other guests - friendly staff - good value for money - room equpped with air con - necesssary in Japan in summer

Miinukset: - it would be ideal if the room was equipped with private bathroom but that's perhaps too much to ask at a guest house - breakfast was the same every day. can be great to have some variation, especially if you stay longer - breakfast coffee was cold (probably because of the hot summer in Japan) - would have been great to have hot coffee just brewed - if you need car transport for bags or handicap it's complicated as the street is not accessible by car

Plussat: Really lovely stay here, my daughter and I had a twin room, beds were very comfortable, room had space for our luggage, guesthouse set up was clean, cosy and friendly. Lovely breakfast in the morning and location was so good for walking to and around Nara Park, food and shopping. Wish we stayed longer actually!!

Plussat: Great location. 5 mins walking from Kingston Nara station. Busy in the day and quiet in the evening. Spotless. Big wood dining table. Spacious living room.

Miinukset: Very soft bed.

Plussat: Great breakfast, friendly helpful staff, great location!

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: This property was grossly overpriced for the sevice offered. The room was crapy, extremely small and did not offer any comfort. Beds had bad matrasses, there was a window from wich artificial light came in all through the night and blinds were insufficient to block it. Really hard to sleep in there. The shower rooms were extremely small and there was no place to leave your belongings. The second evening of our stay one of the shower rooms was clogged, dirty and full of hair. Disgusting. Internet worked very poorly. Breakfast was barely acceptable, offering cold cofee and suspicious eggs.

Plussat: Great locations. 3-5mins Walking from 近鐵Nara station. There is Elevator. Don't worry if big luggage. Spacious living and eating area. Very clean. Twin beds room is small, enough for luggage and walking through.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: Location Price

Plussat: Super central. Nice room Japanese style.

Plussat: Everything was great, friendly staff, we were late for the breakfast but they let us eat despite the time which was really nice ! Location is perfect. Very calm, small and feel like home !

Miinukset: Too expensive for an experience that it was not what described

Plussat: Extremely helpful host: he helped is with buying airport tickets and even brought us to the stop at 5.40 am: far above expectation. We even got delicious sandwiches for on the way. Comfortable futons. Lovely breakfast.

Miinukset: The lovely sliding doors/windows might be noisy during windy/rainy nights.

Plussat: Hospitality of the host, authenticity of the house, extensive breakfast with plenty of choice

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: breakfast was amazing and homemade, the staff was really nice and friendly, a true Japanese guesthouse there was the air conditioner and television in the room

Plussat: The owners were really perfect.

Miinukset: The noisy neighbours in the bedroom next-door + the shared facilities

Plussat: Warm hospitality, welcoming treat and a fantastic homemade breakfast Japanese or Western. A lovely hostess with a motherly attitude..

Plussat: I loved staying here, everything was perfect. As soon as I arrived, the owner had a piece of cake ready for me! It was delicious. She was very sweet and showed me a map of Nara and gave me all the information I needed about the area. I chose to have both breakfast and dinner at Hotobil and I was not disappointed! The food was so tasty, especially the beef curry

Miinukset: Nothing. I just wish I could have stayed longer!

Plussat: The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is among the best we had in the entire Japan trip - I would fully recommend staying there just for the sake of eating there.

Miinukset: A little bit out of the way. Need to take a bus to / from the station and Nara Park.

Plussat: Good location, walking distance to Nara Park. Very kind staffs, beautiful welcome cake and traditional Japanese breakfast. We felt like home after a long day walk.

Plussat: Nice place and staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean and very friendly hotel, great location near both train stations of Nara. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: Pilows are a bit hard.

Plussat: Good breakfast, good location, good and very friendly staff. Very convenient laundry service. We gave our sincere appreciation to the front desk lady (on duty in the noon of July 28, about 12:30) and the house cleaning gentleman who were very efficient to find my wife's glasses.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: the respect, there was a tv, a free mobile to lend with unlimited 4g and free calls.

Plussat: Great location close to the station. Amazing staff, clean and spacious rooms. The price was incredible; we did not expect much but we ended up having the most comfortable stay during our trip in Japan here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Miinukset: Some water bottles on the room would be nice, we had to go out to go to the vendor machines next door.

Plussat: Location, breakfast and service are good, will come next time. Thanks.

Plussat: The hotel is nice and conveniently located close to Nara JR station. The room was large for Japanese standards and the beds were comfy. The shower/toilet is small as usual, but good. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the breakfast with both western style and Japanese items. We had a room to the street, but it was very quiet. The staff spoke good english and was very helpful.

Plussat: Perfect location near the JR Nara train station, near the bus stop to Nara park, near car rental company - all we needed and all this reason we picked up this hotel for our one-night stay in Nara before heading further to Koyasan. Highly recommended!

Miinukset: Bathroom is really small, however it has everything you need and was well equiped. View from our room was in the range from little to none, but that really is not an issue for a one night stay.

Plussat: the beds were very nice.

Miinukset: The room was extremely cramped. We had a room for 4 and they made up the room for 4, but there was no place for our suitcases etc anymore.

Plussat: Hauska moderni käytännöllinen huone.

Plussat: The staff : very kind and helpful ! The laundry area is very useful on holidays ...

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent staff, service, amenities, wifi, cleanliness, breakfast, beautiful room. Located a few minutes walk from the station and also few minutes walk from Nara Deer Park

Plussat: The staff were incredible - never felt so warmly welcomed as a female solo traveller. The facilities were brilliant as there is a onsen and sky view balcony . The bedroom was a great traditional experience . The little details across the hotel influenced by Nara’s deer were a really sweet touch to the place. Location was good.

Plussat: The staff were kind and helpful. The room was wonderful, with big tatami mats, a spacious bathroom, big bathtub, fancy toilet, and even a massage chair. I loved the Kaiseki food. The onsen was relaxing and tattoo friendly. They even arranged a free guide for me to tour Nara, and gave me cookies to feed the sacred deer.

Miinukset: I wish I stayed longer :)

Plussat: REALLY NICE breakfast, elegant and delicious. The staff are not only helpful but kind and sweet. I remembered one particular young man, he is probably the one knows most English, he showed us how to walk around the town and how to get to the shopping center in Osaka in detail. We asked him a lot of questions and even bothered him to wash strawberries for us. Anyway, he helped us a lot. We really appreciated that! It made us felt warm and welcomed. :)

Miinukset: nothing! really!

Plussat: Staff was so friendly!!

Miinukset: Bedding not that comfy

Plussat: The service was exceptional

Miinukset: Sometimes staff apologised too much for minor things, but this isn’t an extremely bad problem. It just made things awkward sometimes.

Plussat: The host and staffs are friendly and could give recommendations about the transport methods and beauty spots！At last，I also got the souvenir photo，very pleasant trip here！

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Super friendly staff!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The view from our bath outside was perfect. The onsen were great. The kaiseki meal was great. We loved this place.

Plussat: We loved the attentiveness of staff and the perfect Shabu Shabu dinner.

Miinukset: Nothing. Our stay was perfect.

Plussat: Spacious and clean Japanese room. Great onsen. Free water and coffee. Good Japanese breakfast in a private room. Very welcoming staff.

Plussat: Good bed Free drink every night Nice staff

Miinukset: The upper bed was difficult to get into. I didn't find it safe. The hostel has an industrial, somewhat unfinished style, but that made certain spots not look clean, especially the toilets. There wasn't enough space for the bags in the room. I felt like my bag was bothering other guests.

Plussat: The location is excellent. Right next to the train station and the park is quiet close as well. The place is quiet cool. I liked the organic shampoos. And the drinks and Food have reasonable prices.

Miinukset: The airconditioning was broken and therefore licking which made the floor wet. Hope they fixed it. The rooftop terrace is missing some lighting.

Plussat: Great location opposite Nara Station! The 6pm cheer event is a great way to talk to other guests, and you have discounts on a second drink and food, too! Beds are quite comfy. It was a great stay, everything was good!

Miinukset: No breakfast anymore as past guests complained about it. No staff on-site in the morning (until 11am), so make sure you ask them everything in the evening and check the brochures to book a free tour guide or other stuff before 8pm.

Plussat: Location is fine.

Miinukset: The staff could be rude. And the common space is small, only one floor and in the night would be hot.

Plussat: - Nice people - Nice room - Nice atmosphere - Nice bar - Nice everything

Plussat: Comfortable, cheap (for Japan) and spacious private room with bathroom, drenched in a modern interior bath. Add some millenials with an attidude and you’re all set for a G experience.

Miinukset: No breakfast at the property, the check-in was semi-friendly.

Plussat: Quite near to the train station, just across the street, friendly staff.

Miinukset: The room was not clean, the aircon was leaking the whole night, and they put towels on the floor which obstruct the entry.

Plussat: Value for money, location, staff and cheers event. I definitely would recommend this place - and I'm hard to please so rest assured - book yourself here.

Miinukset: The smell in the bathroom on the second floor. I also found it stuffy in the dorm rooms and opened the door often to keep the air flow going.

Plussat: Well located (2 min walking from JR Station) and having a nice terrace on rooftop.

Plussat: Best hostel ever. Perfect location just beside the exit from JR and the main pedestrian street leading to the Nara temples. Staff was super nice. Clean room. Space for the valuables / big bag / and a shelf for laptop beside the bed (that's 10/10 in my book). The shampoo was gentle to my hair, and had a pleasant scent. Would come back.

Plussat: Pretty hostel, gorgeous location.

Plussat: The manager is great! Super Nice and helps with everything Room is quite big In the middle of the park and close to all beautifull places

Miinukset: A strange smell, probably moist of the park. No instruction for the use of the toilet. All Japanese toilets have instructions to sit down. This one has not. So less clean.

Plussat: The staff was amazing Kana and Taka were so nice, helpful, professional and friendly. Everything was clean, the place was inviting, cozy, water pressure and temperature was great.

Plussat: The unique location at end of the deerpark and the more than friendly staff, Especially Kana, made this an experience i would book again! I hope in may...

Miinukset: All was good!!!

Plussat: If you want to meet some deers in Nara, then this is the one. A family of cute deers are always around waiting for snacks.

Plussat: Loved this place! The guy working here (sorry, cannot remember your name...!) is really friendly and helpful. The location is amazing right next to the deer park and in a very quiet part of town which is really peaceful to walk around at night.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The staff is great, the location is perfect - we even had dears right under the window.

Miinukset: During our second night there it was raining, and being on a ground floor next to another building - the upper roof started dripping water on top of our tin roof. The sound was so loud and echoing that at 3 am we called the staff (which is not staying in the hotel at night usually) to move us to another room. Luckily there was another free room

Plussat: Staying at Deer Park Inn, you literally will see Nara deer as soon as you step out the door! Cosy building, great common room where you’ll, with some luck, meet other chatty travelers from other parts of the world. Staff was nice and helpful! Bed was comfy for me :) Would definitely come to stay here again!

Miinukset: For light sleepers it may be a bit easy to hear others at night :)

Plussat: The place is lovely, right inside the Nara park and next to some hills. The place is really clean, and the racks (i stayed in a shared room of 4) are spacious and confortable. The bathrooms are very clean as well, not cramped. I highly recommend the plce to anyone.

Miinukset: One thing I liked about it is that is away from the ceter area and right inside the park, as a result it is quite. Walk from the JR nara station, although a bit closer to the other station in Nara. I did not mind the walk there, but I was carrying a light backpack, so I throughly enjoyed my walk there, but for people carring big and heavy suitcases u might need a cab. Everything in the area closes around 5, so if u want food at night, u need to go to the center to find some. Other than that, if u like green and waking up and seeing first wild deer in the morning, this is the place for u.

Plussat: The view from the window was really nice. Also love the wooden design of the hotel.

Miinukset: Small bedside table will be really nice as there is no space to put small things (book, laptop etc). Also a mirror will be nice, there is no full body mirror at the hotel at all :( No convenience store or supermarket at the area so prepare your food beforehand! Small Japanese stores nearby opens only around 10am.

Plussat: Very helpful and kind staff Great location in the more quite part of Nara Park Big double room compared to other hostels and hotels we stayed at in Japan. Plenty of deers just outside the guesthouse

Miinukset: The rooms are not soundproof at all, but we didn’t experience any noise from the other guests. No restaurant or cafes are open in the early morning or in the afternoon, so make sure you bring breakfast and dinner from the city.

Plussat: Location is good

Miinukset: The cleanliness is poor, the room is damp bad smell.

Plussat: Great location, quiet neighbourhood

Miinukset: The lockers provided were rocky. Curtains are as good as not having them

Plussat: Upea vanha rakennus - ehdoton valinta japanilaisia perinteitä arvostavalle.

Plussat: Wonderful atmosphere. Old tea masters house from 1920s. Genuinely atmospheric, tranquil, lovely garden.

Plussat: Vanha talo oli aivan hiljainen, täytyi kuunnella taloa, sillä oli paljon hienoa kerrottavaa. Sain teeseremonia-huoneen, siitä varmaan johtui paikan keskittyneisyys. Paikka antoi todella paljon!

Plussat: The most striking feature if this guesthouse is certainly the house itself. It looks and feels very traditional and the garden is breathtaking.The staff is very friendly and we spent a great time with them and other guests. It is located within walking distance of Nara's main monuments and of the Kintetsu-Nara train station. My only regret is that I stayed only one night.

Plussat: A beautiful house, over a hundred years old! Very atmospheric, with a beautiful garden. And very centrally located-- close to everything essential in Nara! Awesome staff-- he gave me a map and a detailed lay of the land, so when I set out I had a perfect plan already! Comfy bed, clean facilities, welcoming atmosphere. And I appreciated being able to leave my bags there before check-in so I could explore Nara unburdened! Great stay, awesome place!

Plussat: Staff was very kind with us and help us a lot with some reservations that we wanted to make in Nara. The place was really near to Nara Park and tourist places, it was also very close to the bus station.

Plussat: The atmosphere of the place is incredible you hear no traffic at night, its great! Beds are really good

Miinukset: Cracking Floors but you get used to it

Plussat: The hostel has a beautiful garden,and the staffs’english are very good,they can help you do a traveling plan in Nara.

Plussat: It is a tranditional japanese styled garden, very beautiful，not too far from Tondaji.

Miinukset: Only one toilet and two washing basin in the whole hostel, a little crowded. Besides,you can hear the noise from the upstair room clearly.

Plussat: Stunning location, so authentic and beautiful! The staff was great, we had the chance to have a tea together and it was a great human experience. Very clean, the mattress was very comfy.

Miinukset: Quite far from the main station by foot
