L'entrée dans l'auberge se fait seul avec toutes les instructions fourni dans la BAL. L'espace pour dormir est correct (l'espace livre situé au dessus/en dessous de la case aussi!, l'auberge est bien équipé pour faire sa toilette, le rapport qualité/prix est correct, de nombreux restaurants autour... je recommande pour les voyageurs de passage!

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.

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.

Struttura meravigliosa, un'antica casa che mantiene la forma originale (ma ristrutturata per essere in condizioni impeccabili e con massima pulizia). Non solo un comodo alloggio da cui raggiungere facilmente le due stazioni principali di Nara e iniziare la visita della città, ma direi quasi una attrazione turistica in se.

Set in an amazing old house. Seems more catered towards private groups than it is for backpackers - the hostel facilities were pretty sparse so would not stay for more than one night unless I had a private room. Place was otherwise very neat and clean.

Wonderfully peaceful oasis in the heart of Nara.
Loved the old, wooden main building - so beautiful. If you're thinking of staying here, be sure to book one of the traditional Japanese-style rooms located within it. The dormitory-style accommodation is located in a separate building and I found it a little disappointing - too many beds fitted into a rather small space, where you can hear every sound made by people on either one of the floors. It was ok for one night stay, but anything longer than that might've been a challenge, particularly that the bathrooms and toilets are in the main building... Still, a great place all in all - very friendly and helpful staff, free tea, coffee and cold drinks provided, good location, clean bathrooms with very hot water and delightful garden for when you want to relax. I would happily stay here again.

蔵の中に泊まるなんてめったに出来ないので面白い体験でした。 ただ、セキュリティの面では不安があります。 鍵の返却についての説明はありましたが、私の鍵はどこにあるのか分からず、翌日梅小路さんの方に泊まるまで何の鍵なのかすら分かりませんでした。 入口の門にロックはついているものの、前に通った方がちゃんと閉めなかったからか開いてるし、その先の皆が荷物を預けている部屋のドアも開けっ放しの状態で、監視カメラはあるのでしょうけど不安としか言い様がない。
