I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is extremely convenient, just a stone's throw away from the train station and close to all the main attractions in the city. It made it so easy for me to explore Nara without any hassle. The staff here are incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. They even took the time to give me a map and personally walked me to the nearby park for sightseeing, which I really appreciated. The hostel itself is clean and well-maintained. The shared bathroom was always spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable. I also loved the spacious kitchen and common area, which provided all the amenities I needed. this hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of service, cleanliness, and attention to detail.

Honestly, I can't think of anything negative to say about this hotel. Everything was perfect!

United Kingdom, March 2023

If you're looking for a convenient location, this hostel would be a great choice. It's within walking distance to the train station and a local neighborhood with plenty of dining options. The hostel’s common area and kitchen are spacious and well-maintained. The friendly staff is always ready to chat and provide useful information about the area. I particularly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, which was perfect for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing.

One downside to this hostel is that there's a charge for luggage storage after check-out, which was a first for me during my trip. the bed I slept on was quite creaky, which made me feel uneasy about causing noise disturbance to the person below me.

The location of the hostel is extremely convenient, as it is close to the train station and within a short walking distance to Nara's Park. The staff is friendly and helpful, allowing guests to store their luggage before check-in and after check-out. The rooms and facilities are clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy stay for guests. The shared dormitory is spacious enough for a group of friends to stay together.

The stairs leading up to the rooms may be steep, which is common among affordable accommodations in Japan.
