10/10 Exceptional

Super friendly staff, in a magical place in the deer park surrounded by nature, some great little shops, shrines, and animals. Nara was the absolute highlight of my trip to Japan and this Inn was a dream to stay at. We loved our time here.
Kenneth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were so sweet and helpful here. It is so convenient since everything in the park closes early as well as transportation, so if you are staying to see the deer it is a perfect place to do so.
Presley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Felt very welcome and also thankful to the staff who recommended that we get food before everything closed in the area. They sent emails prior, to warn us which was great. The hotel is a little old but clean. I had a very simple room with a double bed and AC unit, shared bathroom and shower. They let us store our luggage a few hours in the morning after check out. Overall loved how close it was to the temples. I would definitely stay here again!

This lodging was perfect for visiting the park. Facility was clean, quiet, our room was spacious, & the staff very friendly. They let us know about evening lantern event, and breakfast available for purchase at 9am in a cafe near by. Location in the park is convienent for some travelers without transportation visiting the park. It was a short hike from the bus stop at the museum. Could use a sign at the bottom of hill on bus route for lodging location. Of the park workers we asked, no one seemed to know where "The Deer Park Inn" was located. We followed the walking route on google maps to find it from the museum. As a hostel our room had western style bunk beds, which were nice. Property is not wheelchair accessible. They do provide this information on thier website, but take note it is located on a hill & there are many stairs.

8/10 Very good

Great location deep inside of Nara Park.

First off: the listing says laundry facilities are available, but they are not (yet). This is important because the nearest laundromat is 30 minutes away. Otherwise, it's a wonderful place to stay overnight in Nara. We spent 3 nights enjoying the park. Deer right outside every morning. 2 great restaurants right down the stairs, but everything nearby closes around 16:00. Drink machines abound, but plan to stock up at the 7-11 at the park entrance (15 minutes) to cook dinner or have snacks at the Inn. They offer a small selection of instant ramen and such you can purchase for 200 yen in the kitchen if you forget and are hungry. Very kind staff. Just keep in mind you won't have access to laundry or convenient store hours.

窓から鹿がくつろいでいる姿を眺められるのがとても良かったです。 部屋も可愛らしく清潔で空調も快適でした。 キッチンとシャワールーム、洗面所、トイレは共用でしたが不自由なく使えました。 鹿が見たくて奈良に来たので最高のステイになりました。違う季節にも絶対また泊まりに来たいと思います。

This is 100% the best place to stay at of you want to have the most authentic Nara Deer experience. When my partner and I were arriving late to check in the clerk stayed an extra 30 min waiting for us. She is a hero!🙏 The place is 30 min from the downtown area so do order or buy food for dinner as you wont find anything nearby, but its 100% worth it because of the location and the staff! Thank you so much for having us and being great hosts!

Quiet little Inn at the top of the town. Easy to access the Mt Wakakusa walk and about a 30 minute walk into the towns centre! We loved seeing the deer right outside our window.

What an Oasis!

What a delightful spot to get away from big city vibes and get close to nature in Nara Park! Incredible staff that even let me check in early as my room was ready. Everything you need at an affordable price with a great atmosphere.

Silent and terrible night in The hostel

從未住過一間酒店冇電視機、不但房間沒有電視，連大廳都冇電視、從未住過酒店廁所板是凍冰冰的 ，連公廁洗手間廁所板都是暖笠笠，洗手盆熱水位貼了一張out of order即係沒有熱水，酒店位置已10分偏僻，五點後天已黑晒所有店舖已關門 寂靜得人驚 進入了一間寂靜無聲的酒店 有的只是進入房內地板凹凸不平只發出唧唧的聲音 ，然後就感覺到耳鳴很不舒服的感覺 ，第一天晚上便很想離開，但是沒法走因為外面全是黑鼆鼆，很難受的兩天晚上，唯獨是最好就是有個大廚房，但可惜廚房地面凹陷，我已踩中幾次地雷，差點跌倒，這次旅程感受太差

リーズナブルな料金で良かったです。 ロケーションは奈良公園の前で最高の場所でした。 鹿が当たり前にホテルの前にいました。 建物が古い様で部屋のドア開閉の際に風圧で窓ガラスが響いてしまうのが気になりました。

This hostel is near the historic shines but some distance from anywhere that serves food after 4 PM. Be prepared to walk into town and back after the buses stop running around 5 PM.

とても雰囲気のあるおしゃれな建物で、朝は窓の外に鹿が来て草を食んでいました。春日大社がすぐ横なのでまだ人の少ない朝に参拝できて良かったです。

良く眠れるホテルです。

とても良いロケーション。 近鉄奈良駅から徒歩30分で別世界が広がっています。 まるで自宅から遠く旅をしてきたような静かな山の中で過ごす時間は、良い意味で非日常的。 TVが無いのも好ましい。 古い古い建物ですが、ベッドは清潔で、不快感はありません。 天井や壁の一部は完璧な状態では ありませんが、虫食いの葉が描かれた日本画のような印象を受けます。 仕事のメールや電話がかかってこなければ、のんびりくつろぐ事ができるでしょう。 よく眠れるホテルです。 共有キッチンがあります。 近所で食材が入手出来ませんが、車で来る人なら問題ないでしょう。

何回かお世話になってますが、今回はお水取りを見たくてお世話になりました。お水取りについても詳しく教えて頂けて助かりました! 有難うございます。 お洗濯は乾燥機もありますし、車も停めれたので助かりました。何より春日大社も近く、二月堂も近いし鹿さんだらけで楽しかったです。またお伺いします! 有難うございました。
