Nara inns

Pros: Hostel is in the Nara Park area, close to many temples. The host gives you a map of the area and suggest where to go and what to see, that is helpful. You get your own locker in the room and towel, included i price.

Cons: It was too cold in the common area. But it seems to be normal in Japan.

Pros: Perfect location to walk around the park and see the temples/gardens. Rooms are spacious and warm with a relaxing common room - fireplace, good music and local beer. Delicious cafe just upstairs as well. Awesome experience in Nara

Pros: It was a cute backpacker place with a really hard working friendly host. It was just after new year's that we stayed and there was a big bottle of free sake for everyone to share, which was a nice touch. The reception guy was really helpful and recommended a night stroll around a 24 hour temple, which was absolutely stunning. The shower was clean and the pressure was intense.

Cons: One of the two sinks and one of the three showers out of order, and just 2 toilets was a bit steep during the morning rush hours, but it was just after new years (almost the only time Japanese people have time off) so I'm sure they fixed it fast!!

Pros: Very clean. The staff were very nice and attentive.

Pros: The hostel located just in the Deer park, and is near to all the attractions. You do can see deer just outside your window! The bathroom is clean, and the staff there is communicative and really helpful. PS. there is a bus line to the Hostel, and a parking lot nearby. Google map in 2018 will tell you there is no bus, it is NOT true.

Cons: The wall is not so sound proof.

Pros: The Staffs were very friendly & helpful to me during my stay.

Cons: The nearest station was pretty far.

Pros: Cosy

Pros: The place is lovely, right inside the Nara park and next to some hills. The place is really clean, and the racks (i stayed in a shared room of 4) are spacious and confortable. The bathrooms are very clean as well, not cramped. I highly recommend the plce to anyone.

Cons: One thing I liked about it is that is away from the ceter area and right inside the park, as a result it is quite. Walk from the JR nara station, although a bit closer to the other station in Nara. I did not mind the walk there, but I was carrying a light backpack, so I throughly enjoyed my walk there, but for people carring big and heavy suitcases u might need a cab. Everything in the area closes around 5, so if u want food at night, u need to go to the center to find some. Other than that, if u like green and waking up and seeing first wild deer in the morning, this is the place for u.

Pros: Charming & a little rough around the edges. The cafe up above & the inn are perfect after a day of crowds & hungry deer. They do have snacks, instant stuff, & local beer if you don't snag your own food at a conbini. Right next door is the Wakakusa hill trail, which is a nice trek. The staff are super awesome.
