We booked this guest house for two nights but ended up staying only one night. Beware that they don't allow for arrivals after 9:00 pm. The location is very good, a10/15 minute walk from the station and about the same to the surrounding temples. Our family of four found the hostel comfortable and clean. It is a little old but it complements the Nara atmosphere.

奈良町のとても良い場所にあるので、観光に便利です。オーナーも親切です。清潔感のあるゲストハウスです。私は車だったのですが、近くの駐車場は１時間500円等、めちゃくちゃ高い。少し歩きますが、元興寺前の駐車場は安いです。

良いお宿でした

ドミトリーでしたが、宿泊人数が少なかったため1部屋貸して頂きました。（宿屋の方の善意なのでご注意ください） 部屋は古いですがカビ臭さやほこりっぽさはなく、快適に過ごせました。 洗濯機・乾燥機もかなり安く貸していただけたので大満足です。 夜に周辺を散歩するなど、かなり楽しめました。
