Guest Houses in Nara

Love the location, great amenities, comfortable, wonderful details, kitchen is great, nicely decorated, and host is amazing!

The hosts were absolutely amazing

very nice host， roomy and clean house.

Very close to train station. Many excellent restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. Walking distance to Nara Park.

15 mins by walk from Nara JR Station, and few mins to a 7 eleven. You can also walk or take a loop bus going to top attractions. I stayed in their bunk rooms and the amenities are complete and comfortable even if for spring cold. I also like the history of the townhouse, you can see the efforts of the host to maintain the place with small renovations. Close to cool restaurants and Pubs in the neighborhood

The guesthouse is very clean and neat. The interior is nice and cozy, with two separate community/lounge areas in which you can either talk to other guests or work digitally (fast Wi-Fi, electrical outlets and USB ports everywhere) while enjoying a cup of free tea or coffee. There's also unlimited free spring water and orange juice, which was honestly the greatest blessing in the sweltering summer heat during our stay. The free bathroom amenities are all of very high quality (constant stream of fresh high-quality towels, bathrobes, toothbrushes, razors, etc.). There's even an entire large shelf section dedicated to luxury hair products, covering all of the most exclusive Japanese brands - also all free to use. Additionally, there's a selection of board games, books and even cables (such as USB etc.) to use during your stay. The location couldn't be any more perfect, as you are right next to the entrance to Nara Park as well as the Kōfuku-ji Temple grounds. The main tourist shopping street is also within your immediate vicinity, but due to being just a block over, you're still in a quiet and peaceful location without hearing any of the bustle of the masses. There are cafes, restaurants and convenience stores all around the guesthouse as well, so all your basic needs will definitely be covered. The guest house itself is unstaffed, but the check-in procedure was very easy and straightforward. The only staff that you might encounter is the kind cleaning staff that cleans throughout the guesthouse around noon hours everyday. All in all, I can confidently say that this is the single most value-for-your-money accommodation that I've ever stayed at. We paid less than half of what we've paid on average at all other budget hostels during our year in Japan. And that's including hostels/guesthouses that did not even remotely offer as many amenities or such an amazing location.

Charming and very comfortable place in a nice quiet location. Beds are exceptionally comfortable, and the ground floor okonomiyaki restaurant is highly recommended.

The owner is very kind, she let us book only a couple hours before check in, she showed us everything, and when I realized I forgot a small bag in the closet, a few days after our stay, I was able to meet up with her and get it back.

the staff were absolutely fantastic!!!!

Staying at Natomi was a great experience and the one I was intentionally looking for - a traditional Japanese inn, with tatami floors and inner courtyard, to enjoy with a morning coffee. The host was great, and made me feel welcome and at home; even made a little gift for my birthday! On check-in they explained their design concept and the work done to bring this place to life, and you could really feel how much attention to details they’ve put. Amenities were great, all brand new. I also went with a Japanese style breakfast option, which was very very good! Commute is easy: the place is close to a station, and it only takes 3 stops to get from there to Ikoma, and then it’s an fast connection to major cities and attractions. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!
