Pros: The staff were so friendly and made us feel like The Deer Park Inn was our home. We loved the communal space where we could have our dinner and the fact our room overlooked the deer park so we woke up to beautiful views and nature sounds. The perfect countryside retreat!

Pros: The room was cute clean and cozy. The inn is right in the park that I felt the price was too low for how amazing the location was, as deer walked in my window view often. I am fortunate the price was so low as a student I don't know if I'd be able to afford what the room was worth to me.

Pros: The Deer Park Inn is in the center of Nara park. If you OK with staying in hostles this is the place! The staff was great and the host Taka gave me a few tips in local activities. He told me about local traditional festival in a near temple and I thank him for this experience.

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: I liked staying in the 4 person room as well as the single bed in the mixed dormitory. I enjoyed being part of the cheers event at 6 pm and meeting new friends from the bar. The basic amenities like toilets and shower were of good quality. The bar, and the walls within the hostel were decorated with plenty of art, giving it a really modern artistic gallery vibe. The walk-able distance to the street leading to Nara Park as well as to the JR Nara Station meant that the location of this Hostel was very convenient to travelers walking about and taking the train.

Cons: When we arrived there was no one at the "reception"/bar and instead there was a sign saying we could just lock our luggage to the wardrobe until check in at 4pm In general it is a good work around - I was just a bit worried that anyone could have just walked in and opened our bags - the hostel is right across the train station on a main road. Besides everything was really good :)

Pros: Everything was good. Great location, good vibes, rooms and facilities. Very nicely decorated and designed. A free drink is offered every day which facilitates to meet other travelers.
Cons: There is a small room with a fridge and a microwave, even a sink, which is great. But would be more appreciated if there were some plates and glasses to be used. Also the access to my bed was so dangerous as my bed was up and the stair were so narrow and I had to climb it holding the wooden handrail. Anyway, I would go back there without any doubt.

Pros: It's just in from on train station maybe 5 minut by walk and 15 min by walk to nara park. The location it's just perfect and the price it's really ok
Cons: Y found on my bed hair, and I could sleep well, the bed it's really bad, downstairs it's a open Bar and I think you don't feel safe or something, in all hostel in Japan just this I don't like because always if you are in Japan everything will be perfect.

Cons: At the time when I stayed in the mixed dormitory, the air conditioning unit was leaking. It created a puddle at the door of the dormitory. I think the leak happened as the door of the dormitory was always opened. This resulted in the air conditioner working harder than it should and the subsequent leak.
