    Staying at Hilo was an absolute treat! The owner took the time to personally guide us through the best spots in town. The location is convenient, with plenty of nearby attractions and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a cozy and comfortable stay. Even though there were a few rowdy guests, bringing earplugs solved that issue. I highly recommend this charming hostel for a fantastic stay in Nara.

    I recently had a fantastic stay at a hotel in Nara, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the value for money. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the attention to detail throughout the hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable stay. They were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, even offering to make breakfast for me. The hotel's location was also a major plus - it was very close to the train station, making it convenient for exploring the city and its main attractions on foot.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was great and I couldn't find anything to complain about.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    We stayed at a hostel that was just a short walk from the train station and close to many restaurants and convenience stores. the dormitory was quiet and comfortable, with lockers and privacy. the friendly and helpful staff provided us with travel advice and free coffee and tea. We loved the fully equipped and clean kitchen, which made cooking and storing food easy. the facilities were well-maintained and helpful, with good WiFi and spacious shared dorms.

    The noise of some of the other guests did disrupt our sleep, but bringing earplugs would have solved that problem.

    I recently had a delightful stay at a budget-friendly hotel in Japan. The location was perfect — close to the train station and within walking distance of Nara park and the main attractions. The staff, particularly the owners Hilo and his daughter, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They even walked me to the park, ensuring I didn't get lost. The room and facilities were well-maintained and immaculately clean. The shared dorm was spacious enough for four people, and the beds were comfortable. I also appreciated the attention to detail, with soundproofing windows that ensured a peaceful night's sleep. Moreover, this hotel offered basic amenities such as a kitchenette, laundry facilities, and complimentary tea and coffee. my experience at this hotel was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to others.

    No complaints — everything was top-notch!

    The owner Hiro and his wife were incredibly accommodating, walking me to a bar at night and ensuring I felt safe as a solo traveler. The staff, especially Hiro, were helpful with planning my itinerary and even assisted me in finding an ATM late at night. The location was unbeatable, just a short walk from Nara station and main attractions. The facilities were clean, amenities were generous, and the bed was very comfortable. great value for money.

    Nothing at all.

    We had an amazing romantic getaway at this hostel. the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. the room was cozy and clean, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. the location was perfect, with lots of local food and entertainment options just a short walk away. We particularly loved the fact that we could rent bath towels for a very reasonable price.

    But honestly, that was a very minor issue that didn't impact our overall experience at all.

    The coffee and fridge were useful, and the location was great, near the station and supermarket. The hosts were friendly and offered good advice on where to go and what to do. The bed was comfy, and the AC worked well to regulate the temperature.

    There were some noisy guests who came back late at night and disrupted my sleep. The bed was also a bit creaky, which made me feel guilty whenever I moved, knowing that it was probably disturbing the person below me.
