Disliked: Amenities
Walls were very thin and hollow. Outlets on the ceilings posed safety risk. Bathroom was inconvenient and small. Bed was too firm and pillows were not plush. Lobby was a cute bakery.
Cute semi-traditional Japanese room walking distance from Nara Park and literally a minute from the Nara station of the Kintetsu line. Spacious room (relative to typical Japanese hotel rooms). Kind staff! Note that check in is only until 11pm. We were late but lucky the receptionist heard our cries and he had not left yet for the night.
I couldn’t recommend this place more. The staff are so friendly and kind and the room I had was amazing! Having the restaurant downstairs was so nice and they have great food and shaved ice. It was so close to Nara park (about 5 min walk) and is on a cute shopping street which leads to Nakatanidou. It was also right next to Kintetsu-Nara station. Even with all of the things next to it it was quiet and cozy. Overall 10/10 amazing.
I had just biked 30km, so I was exhausted. I was very happy to find a place so late at night. That being said, I still had a lot of difficulty sleeping.
It was very noisy in the dorm. The pillow was hard and filled with plastic. There was also a bad locker room smell and it was very stuffy. There was a light shining directly in my face from the ceiling.
The breakfast that was served in the morning was great!
I lied the relaxed informal attitude at the hostel. The room was great, although the bathroom was quite small. Teh lounge was available for relaxing, eating take out food finding good beer. The breakfast offerings were fresh daily and inexpensive. The location was convenient to the Kinetsu line train station and a short walk to the deer park and other attractions. I recommend teh hostel for a stay in Nara.
