Nara for the Win!

The major "must-see" cites are within walking distance (Nara Park and Todaiji-temple). The staff was super friendly and accommodating. As of Nov. 2016 they have been open for 1 month - rooms are super clean and the share space isn't a great way to meet travelers. If you have 1-2 possibly 3 people I would stay but bed space is limited. That being said the beds are very comfortable. I'll be going back for sure!

Schöne Jundendherberge mit sehr sympatischen Angestellte. Wir waren zu zweit und haben (allein) im traditionellen japanischen Zimmer auf Futons geschlafen, eine sehr gute und günstige Alternative zu Hotels in Nara. Das Frühstück war auch sehr fein.

Hard to get to without good transit options if you have luggage. House is fairly old and there was a smell in the room. Overall, it was okay.

今回は宿泊人数が少なかったようで、静かに過ごせました。ただ、他の方も書かれているとおり、隣部屋が壁一枚で声がダダ漏れなので、その辺 気になる方は注意です。

Safed by the manager’s quick action.

I’ve had a couple of issues with my bed the first night I stayed there. My body and face were covered in mosquito bites. I woke up and wanted to find someone to hand me a spray but was unable to. I mentioned it next morning being quiet sick from all the bites. Management moved me immediately into a different area and the following night was much better. I really appreciated the manager’s help. Breakfast is excellent. Price incredible value for money. I would stay there again

快適でした。

１階一番奥の右の部屋に二人で宿泊。家にいるみたいで快適でした。朝はコンビニで買って共用冷蔵庫に冷やしておいたお豆腐にねばねばサラダをかけて食べました。食器や調理道具、塩、コーヒーやお茶セットはありますが欲しかったお醤油がなかった・・・

El staff excepcional, súper amables. El hostel es tradicionalmente japonés, con un excelente restaurante. Cuenta con restaurante, hay que degustar el sake en tres presentaciones, sublime. El desayuno delicioso, aunque fuera con cargo. Muy cerca del parque de Nara y todos los atractivos del lugar. Limpio, agradable lugar. Muy recomendable.
