Hostels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

The room was clean and tidy, the beds were spacious and the location was very good. The only fly in the ointment is the noise of grinding people outside the window at night, especially as I am sideways ready to fall asleep, the sound from the pillow is enlarged, making it difficult to sleep. Finally I tried to turn around, my head away from the window, barely sleeping. The restaurant recommended by the front desk brother is very good and worth a try!

This was my first time staying in this type of accommodation in Japan. I stayed for five nights. On the first day, I smelled a cold odor as soon as I entered the room. On the second day, I woke up with a sore throat and realized I had caught a cold. On the third day, I found that two staff members had severe colds, coughing and having runny noses. They weren't wearing masks, and the rooms weren't well-ventilated. I had to ask them to open the windows every day. I was disappointed that the staff didn't seem to care about keeping the air fresh. Towels were available for an extra charge. The location was very convenient.

Very clean. Staff speak both English and Japanese and are very friendly and helpful. The guesthouse is within walking distance of both Nara Station about 10 minutes and Nara Park about 10 minutes but in the other direction. Would definitely recommend a stay.
