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

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.

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.

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
