Nice place, very convenient.

It was very convenient but the bed was very cold. The upper bunks were hot so I wore my jacket and two pants to sleep. Otherwise a nice hostel. Nowhere to hang anything in the bathroom and shower area. Nice if towels were included.

Nice staff

Very good location for the deer park and other sights. Arrived earlier than check in time but the hostel had send an email with the door code so we were able to leave our luggage and head out to see the sights. Rooms are a little tight and there are no curtains on the bunks but the beds are comfortable enough and the hostel was very clean. Staff member also gave us some good advice on free activities which was excellent.

Great location and the staff were super friendly and seemed apologetic about the condition of the property. That said this hostel was just not for me. SUPER small common area, only one restroom per gender and one shower for everyone. The kitchen, patio and common area was cluttered. This place would be ok if it was one of my hippy friends places and they were letting me crash for the night. It wasn't what I expect for something I paid for and is a professional business.

Deer Guesthouse is very centrally located in Nara - close to the Station and points of interest. It is also very inexpensive. It was pretty clean. It is quite a small place. Also, there is very little security- no locks on any of the inner doors and the manager's presence is unpredictable. The outer door has a lock but it was always open whenever I came in or left. There are small lockers to store valuables. The manager was helpful in giving useful information about the area. You can use the washer/dryer for 300 yen. The place is very low key, so it was quite easy to meet other travelers.

Backpackers dream place

Everything was as described on the website and guest ratings are true. You get a great welcome from the two people running the guest house. It was cold outside and I was immediately offered a cup of hot tea. Washing and shower area great. Bedrooms very warm and plenty of space for your back pack. All beds have two sockets for charging phones etc. Great little music bar just 3 doors away. All beers, spirits and cocktails. Gin & Tonic great.

Very nice stay!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The owners/managers are very considerate, helpful people and made me feel welcome right away, which, traveling alone, I really appreciated. Deer Guesthouse is very close to the big attractions in Nara, the main temples and the Nara Deer Park. There's also a lot of nice shops nearby and tasty, affordable places to eat. Deer Guesthouse has more of an older, traditional Japanese style, with sliding screens, a small garden in the middle, tatami mats etc. Though it is an older, traditional style, the WiFi was very reliable. The owner also speaks good English and he knows all about Nara and the surrounding area, so there is no trouble getting around. I thought it was very quaint and cozy as well as affordable. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to others. (Sidenote; there is also a location in town called Deer Hostel which might confuse Google Maps, be sure to search Deer Guesthouse)
