It was a heritage house in Nara area. We booked a three person room and had a nice stay.

Loved the ambience of our large Japanese style rooms. For a ‘hostel’, it was above what I expected. It was dead quiet at night, even the overgrown garden in the back had its charm.

10/10 Exceptional

This was my favourite place we stayed on our trip so far. It was so quiet and peaceful both in the hostel and the neighbourhood. It’s about a 20 minute walk to get to Nara Park and you’re likely to run into some deer on your way there as they tend to come right into town in addition to hanging in the park. There are laundry facilities and a smoking area in the back garden. Rice porridge is served each morning and there are free and paid beverages available. There was no staff on site due to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, but the autonomous luggage storage and check-in instructions were easy to follow. I will definitely be returning in the future!

I know there was a prior notice regarding shortage of staff. However, navigating the check-in and check-off would feel a lot less confusing if there is a staff at the Reception at the usual operating hr (7 am -7 pm). So cuatomers could ask questions.

4/10 Fair

This was an extension to our stay, and unfortunately these last 3 nights were unbearable, as the guests staying in the rooms on the 2nd floor were very noisy when walking on the wooden floors. Furthermore, we tried to contact the hotel staff, who are NOT on the premises, but never received a response. The hostel is left unattended so if anything goes wrong there is no one to address it. The front door was left unlocked by most other guests, so the sense this is not a secure and safe place. Also, the posting says there is housekeeping, but we received no service during the 5 nights we spent there. One of the two mllaundry machines are not working, and we had to buy our own detergent even tho this was supposed to be provided. As for cleanliness, our room's drawers and closets were very dirty, with lost of dust and what appeared to be nice feces. This could be a beautiful place, however it has serious issues.

This hostel suffers a few major problems. For.one, there is no one there most of the time, so check in must be done after 4pm, regardlesa if your room is ready (like hours was). Also we had issues with the guests staying upstairs stepping too hard on the wooden floors and there was no one there to respond for it. The pictures on the app are not accurate (at least for our room), making it look much brighter and nicer. Also, it is clearly stated that towels are not provided, so we carried our own, only to find out the hostel does offer towels are a very reasonable cost. Laundry facilities are available within the premises, however laundry detergent could not be found (although it is included in the cost). Lastly the common areas need a facelift as they get messy and cluttered very fast. If you want to experience a more realistic stay at a traditional Japanese house, this could be the place. However, mindful of the fact the place is mostly unsupervised and other guests may not share your understanding of basic rules in an old wooden structure. Overall we really liked the authentic feel of an old wooden Japanese house, the tatami floors and futons, the paper window panes and the somewhat neglected but beautiful garden. This place needs a little attention and it could be a gem.

ドミトリー泊まりました。蔵で眠れるのは中々ない体験で面白かったです。 良い意味でも悪い意味でも田舎のおばあちゃんの家に泊まった感じです。 スタッフは多分見かけませんでした。チェックインも郵便ポストにある自分宛のお手紙をたよりにゲーム感覚でたどりつく感じで楽しかったです。荷物も預かってくれますがセルフサービスです。(預け方はポストに注意事項書いてある紙がありました) ドライヤーが無いと前情報で見ましたがちゃんとありました。 喫煙所も屋外にあったので全く不便はなかったです。雨でなければ近くの銭湯に行きたかったなと思いました。

雰囲気があり、お値段もリーズナブルで良かったです。 家族風呂でシャワーを浴びようとしたら、すぐに排水溝のつまりで足元に水がたまりだして、気持ち悪かったです。 脱衣所にコロコロがあり、次の方のために掃除してくださいとありましたが、コロコロが切れてました。洗面台の汚れや、トイレの黒ずみなど清掃が行き届いていないのが残念でした。

スタッフの方にお会いしていないので評価は出来ません。(無人です) 設備も良く、入室するとポットに入ったお茶のサービスが嬉しかったです。普通のビジネスホテルより安いし、古民家風なのにシャワールームも便利でした。強いて言えば、共有スペースの粉末のミルクが固まっていた事と、朝粥に入れる塩がほぼ空だった事です。

概ね満足だったのですが、備品のいくつか、家族風呂を洗うための洗剤が空だったり、二階の「ご自由に」のクリームパウダーが湿気を吸ってカチカチになってしまってたのが残念でした。台所の分は使えたので、問題というほどのことでもないのですが。 でも、本当に居心地が良く、もっと連泊したいと思いました。 周辺の古都の雰囲気のままお部屋で過ごせますし、奈良観光の拠点に最高だと思います。
