Perfect location.

Perfect location, as it's very close to the train station as well as the deer park. The room had everything you needed and a very comfortable bed. The communal ktchen area was excellent and again has everything you could possibly need and also a lovely eating area. Everything was perfect. The host was also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend staying here.

Très belle guesthouse, bien située non loin de la gare. Bel accueil sympathique en anglais. Chambre pour 2 avec salle de bain privée. Bon confort. Possibilité de louer des vélos, mais il faut réserver à l'avance. Sinon, location de velos très facile à la gare. Belle adresse pour visiter Nara.

唔錯的體驗

地點很方便一出JR站直行100米轉右再直行就見到松屋 賓館就喺松屋對面一條小路直望就見到 、方便易搵、旅舍感覺整潔舒但拎大型行李上樓就吃力 房間雖然細小，但五臟俱全都幾舒服。可惜晚上睡覺時，發覺床褥凹陷、整晚瞓得很不舒服。第二天又忘記通知房東、希望房東盡快處理床褥問題。整體感覺都不錯地點方便周邊也有很多美食，有機會話會再來。

チェックインした時のフロントデスクのスタッフさんがとても親切に観光地の説明をしてくれ、お陰様で十分に奈良を楽しむ事が出来ました。 お部屋はきちんと掃除されていましたが、湿気のせいでトイレのスクリーンが黒くなってる所が有りました。 そしてトイレのシンクがとても小さかったです。手を洗うのみって感じで、顔を洗う事は出来ませんでした。 場所はJR奈良駅から近いので、観光には最適です。
