This place actually tainted my impression of Nara.The kitchen was disgusting and nothing works! No cooker, kettle or even proper internet (it's very weak and disconnects). When you try to talk to him, he stares at you and shrugs.The doors are broken and there are beds shoved into every possible place so you just hear everyone and everything.Don't get me wrong, I have stayed in plenty of places with multiple people but its clear he is just trying to make as much money as possible with as little effort. After my first sleepless night, i found a different place.For the same price, I stayed in a shared bunkbed room with dedicated showers and toilet per floor in hotel in the same area. Here it is roughly 20 beds sharing one bathroom. Hardly cleaned too.Also he is only reachable between 3pm and 8pm, doesn't open before or after or answer your texts. Avoid it, find a place you can relax after exploring beautiful Nara. This place is a disgrace

This traditional guesthouse is in a superb location. It is in the center near the temples and deer park as well as the covered shopping streets. The owner speaks good English and is very friendly. …

DO NOT COME HERE. IT IS NOT SAFE. We are two girls.||It doesn't open until 3pm, he does not tell you that. I was texting him on agoda and not once does he mention he is not open for our arrival at 11am. …

This was actually my first stay in a hostel, and neither the place nor the host disappointed. It was small but cozy and clean and fully functional. There are two main rooms, a toilet room, and a shower and sink area. …
