Guesthouse Narakomachi

Good location for sights and transfer bus from airport. The ability to drop off our bags was really helpful ahead of the room being ready. The owners were helpful and loaned us a socket converter. Welcoming reception with small kitchen and some seating with the ability to grab a free dring. Room was small but very functional for a shirt stay. We would stay again.

5-minute walk from JR Nara Station which also has a bus station. Very easy to find and in a quite location. We stayed in the Japanese-style room. The owner speaks excellent English. He brought our luggage to our room and show us our room. Room comes with attached bathroom & toilet. Computers & free flow of coffee and tea at the lobby. There is a well equipped kitchen. There is also bicycle for hire. Convenience stores, supermarket & restaurants within a 5-minute walk. Within walking distance to Nara Park. We left our luggage at the reception and went to Nara Park early in the morning. Would stay there again without hesitation. The bathroom sink is a bit small but this is common in Japan.

I love the friendly staff and they speak well English who also explained to me how I should visit Nara. my room is clean and it does feel like home. however the sound proof of the room is not so well and I could hear people started at get up from 6am.

For the price this was a good place to stay, staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable (best sleep I had in 2 weeks :)), good location near the station and a few mins walk from the shops and restaurants

The good thing is location, close to the JR Nara station, within 5min walking distance. It's clean, nice staff. But the building looks like temperary building of two floors, no lift.

I booked a private room, and it was great. The guesthouse is located 5 minutes of walking from Nara Station and everything is within walking distance. The walls are a little thin, but the beds were comfortable and everybody went to sleep early. The hosts are very helpful and spoke great english. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse if you go to Nara!

Guesthouse Narakomachi was a wonderful place to stay. Within walking distance to public trans, shops, restaurants, museums and temples. The rooms were great and comfortable. A modern designed room to fit most any needs. There was a kitchen that had everything you needed. Free coffee/tea in main lobby. The host was very hospitable and accommodating. Wish we would have stayed longer.

Our family of three stayed here in April in a four bed family room. It was a comfortable room with bunk beds and a great shower. The owners are very nice and helpful. We arrived at noon and check in is not until 3 pm but they took our bags and held them so that we could walk around and come back later. When we arrived in the evening after spending the day sightseeing, our room was prepared with our bags waiting for us and we were given a personal tour of the room with directions on how to turn on the air conditioning unit, the tv, etc. This is really close to the JR train station and walkable to Nara park. The hotel has bikes on premises available to rent for $500 yen a day. Highly recommended!

The English speaking atafff was very helpful- the guesthouse is 5 mins from the JR station and is in a quiet neighborhood but walking distance to all the main attractions.

We liked this guesthouse very much. We had the room with the bunk beds. We stayed 4 nights. The price is good for what you get.
