Very good

Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed in one of the private rooms, which were cosy, comfortable and clean. We loved the feel of the hostel, with pretty gardens and spaces to linger in, feeling like we'd stepped back in time. It was very quiet when we stayed with few other guests, although the restaurant filled up at dinner time (great food!). The Naramachi area nearby was fantastic to wander through and it was easy to get to the bus or just walk to some of the sights of Nara.
Happy with everything. Staff were excellent. Really enjoyed our stay with 5 and 1 year old kids. Park 50m away was a hidden bonus!! Walls paper thin in bedroom was only down side. Other guests not so polite to keep noise down in the adjoining room at night. Otherwise so great! Would visit again!
It was a good place to stay one night in Nara. The staff was great and helpful. The room was not very comfortable, but for one night was ok. It is also what I expected from a hoste. Good spanish restaurant one block from the hostel, good and cheap wine.
Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel plein de charme (qui fait la différence avec les hôtels classiques). Proche du parc des cerfs. Arrêt de bus à 3 min à pied qui mène à la gare de Nara.
Accueil très agréable. Le personnel est aux petits soins et le restaurant offre un choix de plats variés et de qualité. Les chambres sont petites mais rien de gênant pour qui passe son temps à visiter. L'hôtel dispose toutefois d'un salon, d'une guest room et de tables en extérieur le temps de lire ou de prendre un thé.
J'y retournerai avec grand plaisir.
Une allure de Ryokan des temps anciens, tout en bois, un petit déjeuner délicieux et typique. Un emplacement pratique pour aller au temple, situé dans une petite rue résidentiel, vous êtes bien au Japon. le confort n'est pas celui d'un 3 étoiles mais tout est dans le cadre. Une très bonne surprise et un accueil sympa. Question photos il y a de quoi faire dans le tel avec les très belles salle à manger et les petits jardins intérieurs.
First I felt this guesthouse it is truly antique. you can feel real what Japanese house is.
staffs can speak English and they are very kind. I think this is the best geusthouse I ever stayed...truly antique and real Japanese house...!! baammmmm! I Highly Recommend!!!!
