LOCO Minamiichi

宿は商店街の中にありとても便利です。 奈良公園までも徒歩圏内です。 飲食店や買い物には困りません。 宿の中の共同キッチンや洗濯機を自由に使えるスペースは素晴らしいサービスです。 ここは、コスパ最強です。 また行きたいし、次は長期宿泊したいです！

The location is simply outstanding — I would honestly rate it 12 out of 10! It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the famous Nara Deer Park, but even better, it’s literally 10 meters away from a lively shopping street. I could just throw on my flip-flops and shorts and easily pop out to grab breakfast or lunch — it was incredibly convenient and stress-free. The room itself is small but thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. One highlight for me was the washing machines and dryers. I honestly don’t know how they work their magic, but after using the eco-mode, my clothes came out not only dry but almost perfectly smooth — without any need for fabric softeners or extra care. It was truly amazing. If you stay here, I highly recommend doing a quick load of laundry on eco-mode — you won’t regret it! A small, cozy place with incredible convenience and unexpected little joys.

As for what could be improved, there were two things that stood out for me. First, after booking, you receive two separate codes by email — a six-digit code for the front door and a four-digit code for your room. I stayed for two days and honestly could not memorize either code. This meant that several times a day, I had to dig through my phone, find the email, and enter the codes — often while it was raining or when my hands were full. While I understand this system may be convenient for the hosts, for guests, it can be quite inconvenient. Perhaps a unified code for both doors, or an easier access system, could improve the experience. Second, there is no bench or stool at the entrance for putting on or taking off shoes. Since you are required to leave your shoes at the door (which is absolutely fine and expected in Japan), it becomes quite awkward to bend down or crouch, especially if you’re carrying a backpack or wearing sneakers that need to be laced. A small bench would make this much more comfortable for guests. Aside from these minor inconveniences, everything else was wonderful and truly made my stay memorable.

The hotel is close to Nara park and it has kitchen where you can cook and washing machines with dryer which is very convenient

The room was not that clean. You can find some hairs on your bed. The carpet was dirty as well. The bathroom not good option for tall people. I am 187 cm tall and my head was touching the ceiling every time when I took the shower. The walls of the room were thin as cardboard.

couch could have been a bit more comfortable

Nice and clean, great location and everything you need during a stay , long or short. Great value for money and would highly recommend!
