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.

Authentic stay in Japanese hostel

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!

無言，親身感受

一個房間人太多，民宿接待了一團印尼人，晚上吵到一點鐘，五點他們就起來收拾聊天，我只睡了四個小時，我忍耐到六點跟那團人說，還被回罵，感受很差。建議民宿貼多些通告或入住時提醒人們保持安靜或那段時間不要騷擾別人。接待到沒素質的客人不是它的問題，但多走一步，可以保障到其他客人。服務員很盡心。

コンセプトは良いですが

まずチェックインして部屋を間違えられました。間違えただけなら良いのですが、部屋の鍵がナンバーロックなので他人の部屋を開けることが出来てしまいました。人がいなかったので幸いでしたが、あれが自分の部屋だったり、人がいたらと思うとゾッとします。ああいうミスはニアミスではなく、損害賠償など大きな事件に発展する可能性があるので気をつけた方が良いです。部屋は個室をとりましたが、天井が高くて良かったです。内装は結構安い感じで壁も薄いので隣の声がよく聞こえます。家族連れや友達同士だと楽しいかなと。色んなところに庭があってそれは良いんですが、夏の暑い日に打ち水がされてないこと、植物に元気がなくて気になりました。庭があるだけではなくて植物の剪定や種類にもこだわってほしいなと思います。職員と客の動線が同じなのでご飯を食べてる時、ドタバタしてて気になります。バーは雰囲気が大事なのでキッチンが見えるのも目隠しした方が良いかなと。食事はまあまあ美味しかったです。日本食でも洋食でもない新たな味でした。次食べるほど美味しいとも思わないですが、それは日本人に合ってないだけかも。安いホテルで、まだオープンして間もないので雰囲気が〜とか言うのは酷なことかも知れませんが、後1年後、5年後にどうなってるか心配になります。

静かなホステル

まだオープンして新しいようで、部屋やシャワールームなどはとても綺麗でした。また私が泊まったときは偶然なのか宿泊者がほとんどいなかったようで、自分のベッドがあるドミトリーは貸し切りでした。他のドミトリーは分かりませんが、少し狭めの印象でした。唯一の欠点を述べるとしたら立地だと思います。一の鳥居から歩けば大した距離ではありませんが、周りにコンビニなどがないので、夕飯やお酒は済ませてくるか、ホステルのレストラン、バーを利用するのが良いと思います。私は寝るだけだったので何ら困ることはありませんでした。とても静かで雰囲気の良いホステルだと思います。
