Perfect location.

Perfect location, as it's very close to the train station as well as the deer park. The room had everything you needed and a very comfortable bed. The communal ktchen area was excellent and again has everything you could possibly need and also a lovely eating area. Everything was perfect. The host was also very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend staying here.

チェックインした時のフロントデスクのスタッフさんがとても親切に観光地の説明をしてくれ、お陰様で十分に奈良を楽しむ事が出来ました。 お部屋はきちんと掃除されていましたが、湿気のせいでトイレのスクリーンが黒くなってる所が有りました。 そしてトイレのシンクがとても小さかったです。手を洗うのみって感じで、顔を洗う事は出来ませんでした。 場所はJR奈良駅から近いので、観光には最適です。

This property is very easily reached on foot from the Nara station: just walk out the exit, take a right down the street until you see the AB hotel, then take that road until you read the “Guesthouse Narakomachi” in huge letters on the building. I let them know that we would arrive after 22h, and the instructions for entering the building and my room were taped to the entrance, just waiting for me! And, the staff waited for me anyhow, until I arrived at 23h30. The room was very clean, with a fresh, bright bathroom: toilet, sink, shower, laundry-hanging facilities. The staff were amazing in the morning, too. We got lots of tips for our one-day visit, and rented bicycles with locks, for 500¥/day. Wow! Great way to Beetle around Nara! This is a compact, beautiful town, and we of course lived the deer: national treasure who love eating out of your hands, often bowing before and after!

It was a nice room, very clean and quite. They have small kitchen area near reception, you can make coffee or tea there. They also had microwave and small fridge, so was convenient for storing my matcha icecream! The room wasn’t big but it was still acceptable. Mattresses were comfortable. The toilet sound insulation was not so great because it was traditional paper door. Otherwise good.
