Guest Reviews
- みみ (10/5): - 古民家に泊まれて良き！
- CHIA-PAO (10/5): - Very Good
- YOKO (8/5): - 思ってたより静かで綺麗で 過ごしやすくて良かったです(^｡^)
- しおり (10/5): - 1泊だけでしたが、とても良かったです。 朝食もお願いして、タオルはレンタルしました！ しっかり寝れましたー！
- Sophie (10/5): - 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.
- Chieko (8/5): - スタッフの対応がとても良かったです
- てつき (10/5): - スタフの方の対応が大変良かったです。
- Verified traveler (2/5): お安く泊まりたい人向け - チェックインの時間が早く（2100）、それ以降になる場合は1000円のチャージが発生します。Pが無いこともチックイン時に知ると言う流れ。
- Motoo (10/5): - チェックイン時の丁寧な説明と朝早いチェックアウト時に気持ちのいいお見送り、ありがとうございました。
- Verified traveler (10/5): Parfait - Logement typique, habitants très accueillant
- Théo (10/5): Peaceful and nice place - Nara is a very nice and peaceful place! The guesthouse is very well located (Closed to the Bambi Park). Comfortable and thé breakfast is awesome!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 良かったです！ - 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。
- Barbara (8/5): 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
- Verified traveler (8/5): 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・・・
- PacoG (10/5): - 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.
- Jocasta (10/5): Perfect stay. - Twice as comfortable as a the corporate hotel we stayed at for well under half the price! Really helpful staff with good English. Great location near the park with bicycles to hire for a small charge.
- 鹿 (10/5): - 広くて良い！ トイレはみんなで使うので時々床が濡れてることがあったけど、それ以外は気にならなかったです。
- I CHUN (8/5): - 不錯，位置地理交通很棒！
- Verified traveler (10/5): - スタッフの方は大変親切でした。値段も良心的で良かったです。
- Chang Geun (8/5): - 게스트하우스 안에 마실거라던가 간단한 음식도 살 수 있는 식당도 있어서 좋아요
- Keith (10/5): - A decent and neat guesthouse in Japanese style, with nice food and facilities that's necessary for your stay at Nara. 10 min walking distance to the Nara Park and the Nara station. Good option for a budget stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 京都・大津を回り、本日帰京いたしました。お世話になりました。 街なかから少し離れているせいか、とても静かでゆっくり良く眠れました。オーナーの対応も優しいし、有料の朝食も美味しく、お腹いっぱいになり満足しました。 ごめんなさい、朝食の時間を記したカード入れを持参してしまいました。郵送した方が良いですか？ 又、利用させて頂きたいと思います。ありがとうございました。
- Verified traveler (2/5): 잘못된 숙소 선택 - 밤12시에 도착을 했뎌니 계산기를 들이밀며 2000¥을 더 내라고 했다 벌금이란다 난 벌금에 대해 알지 못했고 처음 듣는 소리라고 말 했다 그러자 이 여자는 눈을 이상하게 치껴뜨며 일본어로 계속 욕설을 해됬다 그러면서 경찰에 신고 중이며 in or out 라며 2000¥을 내 놓지 않으면 나가라는 식으로 나를 몰아세웠다 결국 돈을 지붏했고 그래도 마지막에 늦게 와서 미안하다고 하자 눈을 흘기며 욕을 하는 듯 했댜 결국 난 그 충격으로 새벽 4시 쯤에 얕은 잠을 겨우 잤다 일본 여행하면 이 일이 가장 먼저 생각이 나니 내가 왜 이런곳을 선택을 했는지 뼈저리게 후회스럽다
- Isabelle (10/5): - Très bon moment passé dans ce riokan rénové. Notre chambre était spacieuse et fonctionnelle. L’accueil a été remarquable, très agréable et de nombreux efforts pour communiquer. Par ailleurs nous avons dîner sur place, plats simples mais bien préparés. Adresse à recommander et emplacement fantastique pour le parc de Nara.
- Verified traveler (10/5): お世話になりました。 - 綺麗で清潔なゲストハウスでしたので安心して眠れました。騒音の心配などもしてくださり、朝食や軽食のご案内などもありました。次回は食べてみたいです。親切で丁寧な対応をありがとうございました。
- Keith (10/5): A jewel in Nara - This is my go-to guesthouse in Nara. Close to the park, great facillties like a cafe and bar. Vegan and organic options are available. Not a hangout. It's compact but confortable.
- Verified traveler (6/5): bien ubicado, muy cerca de parada de camion - buena ubicacion y servicio. Las regaderas no nos parecieron comodas, hay dos en la casa y estan abajo, dan a jardin interior y estaba haciendo frío
- Marjon (8/5): Dichtbij bezienswaardigheden - Relaxte vredige sfeer. Ontzettend aardig personeel. Lekker eten. Dichtbij het park, ook mooi tijdens de avonduren.
- daimon (10/5): 立地がすばらしい - 奈良公園の隣で立地がとてもいいです。 女将さんの人柄が非常に良く、また利用したいと思います。あと笑顔が素敵でした！
- Josephine (10/5): Very pleasant guesthouse in good location - A very welcoming guest house with lovely staff . The room was large and warm .Wifi very good .Good location for Nara Park . Didn’t try the food but smelt very nice
- Sunny (10/5): 如果怕吵的人就比較不推薦，因為這是一棟日式建築，隔間皆用木門，開關門及隔音比較差，卻也是體驗日本傳統 - 這是一間有家的感覺，又有很大自由度的青年旅館，我們住的是女生宿舍房，一開門便是公共區域，廚房用餐時還能看見旁邊的一小片日式庭院，乾淨度，親切度滿分，最讚的是兩間淋浴間的其中一間還能泡澡，讓一整天靠雙腳探索奈良的旅人，可以完全放鬆心情，冷冷的天氣，在廚房煮上一鍋熱騰騰的湯，加入超市買的超Q彈魚肉，大蒜，青菜及高野山的美味豆腐，旅行真是太幸福了。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 丁寧に接待していただいた。古民家の良さが十分生かされていたが、冬は寒いかも。
- Petrina (8/5): Clean and comfortable - It was a comfortable and pleasant stay. Bathroom was very clean. Host was friendly and helpful.
- Marlon (10/5): Great Place! - My stay was fantastic! Akie was incredibly welcoming and warm. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. I was able to get a quick bite from their menu in between touring the city and taking a quick rest back at the guest house. It was a short walk to Nara Park and main shopping/food areas. I definitely recommend this spot for anyone one traveling solo through Nara.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 地理位置好，周邊有小店及文化古蹟 - 住在這裡可以漫步或踏單車暢遊寧靜古僕街道和特色小店。我覺得這裡比京都更美更有特色。excellent!!!!!
- 다정 (10/5): 조용하고 깨끗한 숙박! - 킨테츠나라역에서 걸어가려면 뒈진다 20-30분 걸린다. 하지만 중간에 시장을 거쳐서 오기때문에 구경거리 백만개 내가 갔던 일정에는 사람이 없어서 우리 방에는 두명 사용했다. 스태프분들이 너무 착해서 좋았다. 한 10분 걸어가면 유명한 오므라이스 집이 있다. 가길 바람!
- Verified traveler (10/5): 温馨、舒適小旅館 - 真的很不錯的小旅館,無論環境及早餐也很好,而且很近春日大社及奈良公園,行十幾分鐘便到,不過如果推着行李前往入住,最好乘巴士或的士,因為距離近鐵站也要行約二十分鐘。而旅館附近亦有間不錯的烏冬麵店,味道不俗,很適合喜歡寧静及大自然的旅客，非常值得推介的温馨、舒適小旅館。
- ananda (10/5): Everything you need in Nara. - Great location, comfort dorm with plenty of room in common areas and even a full kitchen. Plus an on site cafe and bar! The staff speak English and Japanese. My new favourite in Nara.
- M (10/5): Great stay - Warm and friendly staff. Really nicely decorated building. Clean. Great breakfast. Cheap bike rental. Stayed in a private Japanese style room- large and comfortable.I would highly recommend this guesthouse to others- one of my favourite places we stayed.
- Robin (8/5): Very cute, great staff - I had encountered some trouble that I'm not gonna detail here but the staff was immensely helpful and very kind. The hostel is cute and comfortable enough, if a bit small. The bar/restaurant is great. The location is not amazing, it's quite far from the station, although it is close to the park. Towels were not free, as opposed to what is mentioned on the page.
- Chloe (10/5): Lovely welcoming guesthouse! - We really enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed staying in the traditional Japanese double room and the staff were very friendly and welcoming! Very sweet and beautifully designed little guesthouse! Perfect location to visit Nara only 5 minutes away from the park! Would definately stay here again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): 很愉快的住宿，下次還要來！ - 在安靜的住宅區，木房子但非常乾淨，工作人員很友善，前台也是溫馨的咖啡廳和bar，可以付費預約早餐。雖然離車站有一點距離，但是去春日大社很近，很方便順著從春日大社走景點
- Carine (10/5): Remarquable et charmant - Une hôtesse souriante et charmante , la chambre du deuxième étage avec vue sur la terrasse était très agréable en juin .... tout est très très propre et fait pour que l on s y sente bien . La cuisine commune est impeccable , avec Cafe , the a volonté ... refait à neuf avec goût en plus du charme japonais .
- kate (10/5): 일본 전통가옥 체험하기 - 아들 둘이랑 같이 셋이서 traditional room에서 1박 했습니다. 전통가옥에 다다미룸이라 새로운 경험이었고, 게스트하우스가 넘 예쁘고, 깨끗하고 조용했으며, 호스트가 젊고 밝으며 친절했습니다. 기본 샤워용품이 비치되어 있고 수건은 따로 준비하셔야 됩니다. 나라파크가 가까워서 체크아웃후에 짐을 맡겨놓고 도보로 다녀왔습니다. 행복한 여행이었습니다
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best Guest house in Nara - We had such a wounderful time at Kamunabi, everything was perfect. Verry nice, funny and allways helful hoest. We will come back again and again.
- misakita (8/5): 格安だけど快適、奈良っていいな - 近鉄奈良駅からゲストハウスまで歩く夜道の商店街はウキウキして、猿沢池から見える興福寺や池の周囲の美しい夜景、落ち着いた奈良の街区と小路にすっかり魅了され、それだけで価値ある観光をしたような気分になれます。国際色のある宿泊客との自然なふれあいもうれしい。奈良らしい雰囲気。ここに泊まった客は、奈良が好きにならずにいられないでしょう。和室に二段ベッドもいい感じ。
- neil (10/5): no comparison this is the benchmark - If there are l available accommodations make them. The superior breakfast is worth the cost in itself. The staff makes you feel at home. DOMO So goy
- Verified traveler (10/5): Delightful stay and experience - Booked for one night, wish I could have stayed here in Nara longer Staff were super nice and friendly Room was spacious, and facilities including food and drinks on site very good
- Mark (10/5): 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!
